been going every day since. He related
how the Americans in their first fight
ing held the lines against seasoned
German shock troops. and The Germans
could not get through again.
Mr.. Holt. at the opening OF his ad-
dress, said he would try and relate
some actual happenings on the fronts
Of all the Allies, but by the time he
told OF personal experiences on the
Belgian, French and American fronts, IL
was so late he could not tell Of the
British and Italian fronts. lie said he
travelled about 1900 miles in a govern
mental automobile through France near
the front, and about 300 miles in Italy.
lie first told OF the Belgian front
The Belgian army he said, had actually
been on the increase every day since
the war started and after four and a
half years the Belgian army is stronger
under an handicaps than II was at the
start. This means that the Belgians
one way and another have been getting
over the Dutch border and joining their
army 10 defend their country.
Mr.. Holt told OF the destruction TO
Dunkirk and Of visiting Calais. In Dun
kirk there is hardly building that has
not been struck and some have been
hit from submarines, airships and
land guns. While in Calais, he stated,
every night at sunset the whistle Of a
shell, probably ten miles in the air.

going over the town. This shell was
directed TO Dunkirk, and FOR weeks and
weeks a she'll from big Bertha more
than 26 miles away, was fired into Dun
kirk The soldiers in Calais, as the
shell passed over each evening, wouls
remark, there goes the Dunkirk ex-
press" When the approach Of the shell
was first heard IL was flashed TO Dun
kirk and IL would give the inhabitants
Of that city just one minute and half

would hit
The speaker also told Of seeing a
wonderful air battle while he was al

when he was introduced 30 the man he
proved 90 be a 22-year-Old Canadian
lieutenant from Vancouver.
The lieutenant told him actually what
did happen which was entirely different
from what either he or his three friends
had thought they saw. He said the
fight was between two English and two
German machines and the one who had
done such spectacular flying was a Ger
man and not an English machine. This
Lieutenant whose name was Hickey, said
he did get the German who fell in the
sea and that he was especially glad TO

have gotten him because OF what had
| happened the previous week. II was
the third machine that he had d0wned,
although he had really brought down
six others, but. as they fell behind the
German lines they could not be counted.
The week before, he said. he brought
down a big German machine back OF
the Belgian line. Although the machine
was out OF commission the two German
officers were able TO make a safe land
ing. Lieutenant Hickey also landed and
when the German officers got out OF
their machine and walked away he ran
10 them thinking they would at least
shake hands. One turned his back on
him anJ the other did shake hands, but
did IL as though ne was ashamed or MN

Lieutenant Hickey said he then went
over TO where his prize German ma
chine was. By that time a Belgian Of
ilcer and a number Of Belgian soldiers
had gathered around the plane. While
they were standing there looking at II
there was a terrific explosion. The Bel
gian officer and eight soldiers were
killed, the two German officers having
left a time bomb on the machine. Other
Belgiln soldiers were so inccnscd they
attacked and killed the two Germans
with knives. That said Lieutenant
Hickey. was the reason he was pleased
at having downed The German in the
Tight that Mr.. Holt witnessed.
Mr.. Holt said he secured the address
