 SERGT. HAIGHT HEARD | Sergeant Haight of the Canadian army, 1 the Black Guard, or, as the Germans
 nicknamed them, The Original Ladies
 from He'll" introduced by Mrs. Jacobs, made a patriotic appeal to the women | to do their bit in winning the war | Get 1t out of your mind that the | boys in France can win this war with-
 out you. It's going to take every ounce of your energy. 1t Is war of power 1 and the side that brings to it the greatest power is going to win. The allies have i used more power on the western front
 than was used in all the four years of 1 the Civil war in this country; more
 than the British used in the Boer war;
 more than Napoleon used in his whole career. There is nothing moral in this war: nothing clean; it is merely the sur vival of the fittest, and we are the fit- test"
 , He told of the first gas attack at l Ypres, of the Algerian troops dying all most to the man; of the Canadians fight
 ing three days and nights without the l Germans breaking their line of the three miles open space in the British French line left by the gassed Algerians; of the
 Germans having 1000 guns and shooting l 10000 shells to every gun and every shell of the British.
