Private r. L. Gill of the Forty-ninth

He is visiting for a few days in

Gill is slight and slim. He has lived a

In his platoon of forty-two men
forty are now dead. He and one
other, who is still in France, are the
only ones left alive.
Private Gill, like most men who
have seen much, says little.
Wounded at Ypres.
Private Gill had been living in Al
berta, Canada, for seven years when
the war broke out and he was among
the first to enlist. Now his fighting
days are over. He walks with
crutches, even thirteen months after
he was wounded, but expects to be
able to discard them. But he will
never be fit to go back on the battle
line. He will leave for Canada soon
to do six months conyalescence" and
after that he will go before the PEN
sion board and get his pension al
lowance.

He left England June IS with 500
other Canadians and Americans who
were incapacitated for further fight

ordered back to Belfast, Ireland, for
a couple of days before proceeding.
Went "Over the Top"
A Canadian soldier, he says, gets
Sl.l0 a day in active service and $l.65
a day on furlough or during conva-
Iescence.
He went over the top once and
out of battalion of $50 men only
1lnety-eight escaped death or wounds.
"The worst thing about going over
he top is waiting for the order to
60" he said. "The suspense is ter
-ible to the nerves. We spent four
lays in the front line trenches, four
lays in support and eight days in the
ear, but even in the rear we were
llways on heavy duty"
Are you glad you won't have to
70 back? he was asked.
Darn glad" said Private Gill.

The war tax bill as revised bv the

only for little more than ST 500 0OO,-

The largest items in today's esti-
mates are $350,000,000 for the Ship
