Mr.. Pearson will carry his listen
ers with him to France and Flanders
and the trial by combat on the field of
blood. He will describe the agony of
the charge, and how the Pats 'put
on" the first of those trench raids
which have since made the Canadian
regiments famous. He will describe
the. days and nights of the Second
Battle of Ypres, and; of what happen
ed on day in May when they
straigtened out their line after a
nieht-long retiring march, and turned
and faced superior forces of an enemy
who dug madly and did not fire, so
that for hours the two forces faced
each other in a truce-until the Ger
mans were ready. And then of how
the bitter storm broke on these men.
and of how they stayed and died for
the honor of a Regiment and the color

IN order that their country and ours
might share in the traditions and
glory of this corps d'elite of chosen
fighting men. And last of all he will
tell why the spirit of the Pats and
other soldiers must be the spirit of

every man, and every woman, ar
every child must sacrifce-ours to
