von Hertig. Munich physician,
heads a movement in Germany
which seeks law forbidding
widows to remarry after the war,
to save the short supply Of men
for the single girls. As many of

They drove Us DacK q rev nunUc1 yards, but We made q stand, and after the edge had worn off the German at- tack we commenced to advance again.
 This time there was no denying the Canadians, and they went right through until they had retaken all the ground that had been lost. They also recovered four guns which the Ger mans had captured.
 As nearly as can tell, 1t was at this time that the reports began to fly around that no prisoners were being taken. This is an extremely difficult thing to speak of There is no doubt that on certain occasions both side have refused to take any prisoners, but would not care to place the responsi- bility of the beginning of the practice In any one particular place.
 There is no doubt of the fact that the Germans hate and fear the Canadians. A peculiar thing happened soon after the Canadians so distinguished them selves. A certain English regiment received orders to take some trenches at given time. The officers of this regiment had the men fix their bayo- nets and stick them over the parapet of the trench several minutes before the attack was to be made. They did so and kept clashing their bayonets cue against another and making an awful row generally.
 When the whistle blew young sub- altern was the first man over the para pet, and he yelled at the top Of his 1 voice. Come on, Canadians"
 This got the Germans goat, and our fellows took three lines of trenches without losing a man. All of which goes to show that the Germans, while they may hate the Canadians, fear them also.
 There was considerable hand to hand fighting on the dead ground between tue two lines of trenches. \ bomb landed in our trench and lay there with the .fusS- sDuttering- Quick as a

We had no spare troops available right on the spot, so the men of the headquarters unit-OTderlies, messen- gers, etc.-were called upon to go up and act as supports until re-enforce- ments could be brought up. We went up on the ttcad run and found thSt the black troops had retired, so we went into the position just In front of the Germans. The kaisers troops had ad- vanCed about two miles, but had stop ped at the last trench of our first line of defense. There were no more trenches for four miles.
 The troops who had retired were or dered into rest camp when We took the position over, so we had to go in and hold until the Canadians came up. The Germans made no attempt to ad- vance any farther, and we certainly were in no position to quarrel with them just then. We waited there all night, and just before dawn the Ca uadians arrived. They didn't stop for anything and went right over the top of us and at the Germans. We acted as supports for them during this en- gagement. and 1t was treat to see the way they went after them.

CHAPTER X.
Germans Hate and Fear Canadians.

Germans Hate and Fear Canadians.
 A BOUT the fifth or sixth night of "A the battle the Germans broke
 through us and advanced nearly mile into our territory. They held their gain about fourteen hours, when we counterattacked and took it all back again. Of course our advanced report center retired as the Germans advanc- ed. but I was down at the permanent headuuarters at the time, so didn't get any of the excitement of the re- tircmcnt.
 When we advanced again our road lay over ground that had been in Ger man hands during the few hours they held the ground.
 A dispatch rider was coming over this road just aS daylight dawned. Two wounded Germans lay on the side Of the road, and as the rider passed one of them called to him and asked for drink of water. The rider stopped, turned around and went back, threw his water bottle tO them and then turn ed around and started oil again. AS the rider turned these two men both fired on him. and one of the bullets struck part uf his motorcycle. At the time this great battle was raging the bombarlmcnt of Ypres con- tinued. and not only Ipres alone, but all the surrounding villages and the roads leading from one to the other also.
 I said that at the beginning of this battle our corps of dispatch riders num- bered thirty-one in all. At the end Of the arrangement three weeks later there were only four of Us left out of the original thirty-onc who started. The Germans flilrl to break us, and so the kaiser kept his word regarding the city of Ypres. Day after day they bombarded the place, so that now there is not one single house left standing For some reason the Germans contln- ued to shell the place from time to time, but they can't do any more damage than what they have already done The end of the battle found us with our position still intact, and l don't think they will ever come any nearer to break through the British lines.
 After the battle I was, of course, re- | neved of my job us motorcycle dis patch rider and resumed my duty as orderly to headquarters,
 A great deal has been said of the Canadians. Too much praise cannot be given them.
 The first of the Canadian regiments to come Into action was the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light infantry. This regiment was in one of the dl- visions in our army corps, so l saw quite a bit of the men from time to time. They were q fine body of men and were very highly thought of by all the English regiments with whom they were associated. They were strong men and needed strong leaders to keep | them at their highest point of ethcien- cy. Such men as Colonel Farquhar they adOred, and there was nothing he could ask them to do that would re- main undone. It was his custom tc lead his men into action carrying noth- ing but a walking stick, and little things like this mean a great deal to the men of a regiment.
 At the time the Canadians were brought into action we had some black troops on our extreme left. The Ger mans sent over gas, and these black troops were forced to retire. Supports were called for, and as ours was the nearest headquarters in the vicinity ! the call. came to-us.

When the Germans wait ed long enough for the fighting to come to close quarters the Canadians were right there with the cold steel, and when the Germans kept their distance those boys showed that they know which end of rifle the bullet comes from.
 The Canadians had advanced about a mile in this way when the Germans brought up some re-enforcements and immediately. started to cpunterattack.
