On Wednesday, November 2S, Ser
esant Flahiff from the Princess "Pat"
regiment which was the best one in
Canada, will be substituted for Lieut..
Mc0ibney who was to give the second
number OF the lecture course, but who

call only about a dozen men survived
after the first battle Probably no
other event so stirred the hearts Of
Canada to patriotism and loyalty as this
one.
Between no soldiers in the world is
the, e such feeling OF brotherliness
as between the Canadians and the
Sammies, and between no other cOun-
tries in the world is there such spirit
of neighborliness as between u, S. and
Canada, shown by the long astronomic-
al boundary line. When We hear of
the treatment the Canadians received
we can Judge what our boys will be up
against The sad part OF this is, the
report comes that Canadians are
placed in the worst and most danger
Gus places. Sergeant Flaghiff will be
able to give us accurate data on this
on this because he has been an eye
witness to conditions.
We are fortunate in securing Ser
geant Flahiff in Lieut.. McGibney's
place. LIEUT.. McGibney would have
been very good and could have told us
much about the ambulance wotk, but
Sergeant Flahiff will tell us about the
actual treanch warefare and after all
that's what counts. Come and hear the
