premier, stated during a secret ses-
sion Of the house of commons yes
terday. An official account of the
meeting was made public here today.
Speaking to members and officials

made a complete survey Of the war
situation, treating Of the military
position, supply and production Of
foodstuff and shipping. He present.
ed also communication from Lloyd
George sent for reading at this Sc

Abiding to Germany's apparent
determination to destroy the British

detailed information as to the
strength of fresh forces which have
been raised each by Great Britain,
France and Canada in order to COM
bat this offensive.
Attack OH Canadians Expected.
"a German attack in full force on
Canadian army corps must be expect
will come, no one can say" he de-
clared But in view of the strate-
gic value of the position Of the Ca
nadians there can be no doubt but
that they must be prepared to meet
any attacks launched by the enemy
and the country must be prepared to
provide the reinforcements to make
good all losses.
poVarn1nant has been in com -
munication with the overseas mill
tary authorities and as a result the
clear conclusion has been reached
that If the Canadian army corps Is
to be maintained as an effective fight
! ing force additional measures must be
taken. 1t must be recognized that
the position is one OF extreme gravity.
Germany must be defeated and to this
end Canada must provide all the as

ply the men necessary to keep our

Americans Heroic Aiding French in
Driving Enemy from Apremont V

With the American Army in France,
April 1S (By the Asso ciated Press)-
Commanders Of units who participant
ed in the several days Of fighting last
week i'll company with the French in
the Apremont wood sector are finding
it difficult to pick out men who es-
pecially distinguished themselves in
the operations.
One commander said every man
acted like a hero and 1T was hard
to choose the moro deserving cases.
One Of the most popular men with
the soldiers on this sector Is the Rev.
Des Wales, a Roman Catholic priest,
of New Bedford. Mass. who Is living
with the men in an unofficial Ca
pacity, he having come to France as
g. representative Of the Knights of
Columbus.
When the attacks began Father
Des Wales, Drawing the dangers of
shell and machine-gun fire, went to
the casualty clearing station uear the
front line to administer to the wound
ed. He assisted in dressing the in
turies Of the soldiers and gave each
man a word of cheer. He handed
out cigarettes to the men who
smoked.
Hes as game as they make them
and every inch a soldier said a
dough boy" while other soldiers
spoke Of the inspiration furnished by
the priest.
Another popular man is a young
banker Of Springfield, Mass, who was
pressed into service as g. stretch er
bearer. He was the smallest man in
the outfit and after several trips be-
came so exhausted he was unable
to hold the stretcher He refused to
give up and had his companions tie
the stretcher on his wrists with rope
so as to enable him to hold the
stretcher on the journey from the
front line to the dressing station.

April 18. (By the Associated Press. j.
The Germans brought up fresh di-
visions for the hard thrusts which
they made yesterday. Although the
British were unable to hold Wys-
cha etc, which they had retaken by a
brilliant counter attack, they beat off
the enemy elsewhere. The Britains
maintained their line throughout the
night.
A renewed heavy bonn bardment of
the British front between La Bassee
canal at Givency and the Niephe for
est suggests the Germans contemplate
another heavy drive in this region, in
the hope Of taking Bethune and
creating a new salient.
All the areas back Of this section
were spTinkled with gas shells last
night. At 6 o'clock this morning the
bombardment was nearly of drum fire
intensity near LOGON and Robecu
where the enemy has tried repeatedly
to advance his line to the canal.
Six heavy attacks were delivered
by the Germans in the course of yes
terday afternoon between Bailleul
and Hpres in an attempt to bend back
