tory was launched by the Germans,
and, although the French on the left
and the British on the right fell lack,
the Canadians stayed where they were
put.
Right here can mention something
which will give you an idea why de-
scriptions of this war don't describe it.
During the first gas attack the Cana
dams, choking 10 death and falling
over each other in fight against
new and unheard of terror In warfare,
found way-the Lord only knows
who first discovered 1t and how he
happened to do ito stay through
gas cloud and come out alive. 1t isn't
pretty to think OF, and it's like many
other things In this war which you
can't even tell Of In print, because the
simple description would violate the
nice ethics about reading matter for
the public eye which have grown up In
long years OF peace and traditional de-
cency. But this thing which you can't
describe meant just the difference be-
tween life and death to many Of the
Canadians that first day Of the gas.
