They are Gambetta, Victor Hugo, Pasteur, and the two presidents, Sadi Carnot and Felix Faure, Greatest Leader, Says Currie London, Mar. 21.-- 'Marshal Foch was certainly the greatest military leader of the war, and no man revealed a finer character," declared General Sir Arthur Cur- fe, commander of the "Canadian corps during the latter part of the war, to the Canadian Press when he learned of the generalissimo's death, "He' knew the profession of sol- dlering absolutely throughout all its branches," continued Sir Arthur "for not only was he a great pro- fessor on the academic side, but he showed himself prepared to the full for all that happened in the field." Sir Arthur recalled how warmly Marshal Foch appreciated the re- ception given him when he visited Canada, and his delight in meeting again his Canadian comrades in arms, The marshal, he said, never lost an opportunity of paying tri- bute to the qualities of the British and dominion troops. "Years of study in his chosen profession, coupled with a devout and indomitable spirit, prepare him for the bearing of superhu- man burdens, enabled him to oyer- come every obstacle and gave him a sure hand in controlling the des- tinies of nations." @ AY Ottawa Appreciative of Foch Ottawa, March 21,--In an ap- preciation of the services of the late Marshal Foch and recalling his as- sociations with the Canadian corps, Colonel, the Hon, J. L. Ralston, C. M.G., minister of national defence, Military Honors of the Nation -- Tributes Throughout ict N i Siifien C ations -- Sir ur Currie Speaks for the Canadian Corps d | of the great French soldier, Mar issued the following statement: "The death of Marshal Foch re- moves the most outstanding mili- tary leader of the great war; a great soldier, a: profound thinker, a wise leader, and an ardent pa- triot. His most intimate connec. tion with the Canadians in the field was at Ypres in 1915 when he com« manded the French forces in that area. "As generalissimo of the allied armies from the spring of 1918, he commanded the largest and most powerful fighting force ever in ac- tion, With restraint, discernment and consummate skill, he co-ordin- ated the views and actions of the commanders and forces on the western front, to the end that vic- tory was finally achieved. Prince of Wales Send Message London, March 21.--The news of the death of Marshal Foch was promptly communicated to the king in a telephone message from Buck- ingham palace to Craigwell house at Bognor, where his majesty is convalescing. As soon as the Prince of Wales heard the news, he sent a telegram of condolence to Mme Foch, Baldwin Pays Tribute Stanley Baldwin, prime minister, said while attending a dinner of the Foreign Press association in London: « "You will allow me to express to my old friend, the French am- bassador, an behalf of the govern- ment of this country that we hope to express more formally tomorrow to his country and to the people of France--with what profound emotion we have learned of the death of Marshal Foch, In the years which have passed since the war, I think there is no one in the world who does not recognize that in him there has passed away one of the greatest soldiers of all times, and, what is much more, one of the great souls." David Lloyd George, war-time premier, said in addressing a po- litical] meeting at Boston, England: "I have just heard of the death shal Foch, to whose genius more than that of any other man is at- tributable the fact that the woria was rid of the menace of German militarism," Marshal Foch was described as "probably the only general who would have been acceptable to ain governments concerned in the diffi- cult task of directing the allied ar- mies during the Great War," by Field Marshal Sir William Robert- son, chief of the Imperial General staff from 1915 to 1918, VISIT THIS LAND Where Cloud-Capped Mountains Touch the Sky, and Great Rivers Rush 'Madly to the .

Survivors Return Toronto, Mar. 21, -- With start- led eyes mirroring the scenes of disaster they had witnessed and with lips virtually muted by the horror of their experiences, south- bound passengers from Canadian National train No. 4, arrived in Toronto at 8.30 last night over C, P.R, tracks, after figuring in the head-on crash of fli~»~ =aar Parry Sound earlier in the day. Tragedy, humor, courage and co- incidence were portrayed in the halting accounts given of the wreck on a lonely stretch of traces in northern Ontario, All a~reed there was no panic after the im- pact and all paid tribute to sur- viving members of the train crews for their part in the work of res- cue, Few would talk of their vwu efforts to save less fortunate trav- ellers, Heroic Baggageman It is to Joe Brazil, burly train baggageman of train No, 4 that passengers and crew extend con- 'gratulations, It was Joe, they say, who smashed his way througn their brilliancy. the top of the express car to extri- | cate Eddie Strutt, messenger, wuo later died. And it was 'Joe who joined with other members of the train ¢rew in digging Engineer Gavreau from beneath the debris of train No 4 'engine.' = | But Joe has little to say of his efforts. "I was in the baggage car at the time of the crash," he ex- plained. 'We all went ahead to see what we could do and wé help- ed as much as we could," That is his entire version of his particu- lar part. It was from fellow workers ana passengers Joe's work was reveal- ed, With Joe, who lives at 18 Maitland Place, were F, Thompson, 138 Queensdale avenue; a "dead- head" brakeman, A. McDonald, 534 Church street, and R. H, Trin- nell, Markham, Ont. These C:N.R. employes also led in relief measures.

Apparently unletter- ed and unable to make himself understood in English, Worlich held the admiration of onlookers for hig disregard of personal safe- ty. Unforgettable Sights Parry Sound, Mar. 21=--Tales un- describable horror, torture and death were recounted here yesterday by survivors of the wreck of the crack Canadian National Trains, No, 3 and No. 4, which collided early this morn- ing near Drocourt station, The pivotal point of the tragedy was the colonist car on train No, 3, west- bound, which caught fire and was completely burned, proving the tomb of an unknown number of passen- | gers. "I saw a woman inside the burn- ing coach screaming in pain," said H. E. Harcourt one of the passen- gers on train No. 3 who escaped with a few bruises, "But the flames had enveloped her before any one could reach her , There were other things to be seen after the flames had died down, I saw four or five charred bodies and skulls and human bones among the wreckage." W. W. Wynn of Toronto said there were about fifteen passengers, men, women and children in the colonist car. The survivors generally agreed that about six or seven per- sons came out of the car alive, Thomas Goodless, also of Toronto, told of standing by with other pas- sengers while women and children died screaming in the burning coach. Terrified Screams "Altogether it was one of the most horrible sights you could imagine," he said, "There were screams coming from among the flames--terrified PINKHAMS PHENRIN | rm ¢ if | | 5 fy i iS i gE: I ; 1 T3 "minutes of the collision. wails that died away. slowly, They were like the wails of dying people who were. being suffocated. They didn't last long but I don't want ever to hear that sound again." Another passenger, L. 'S. Michaud of Quebec recounted the horrors of the burning coach. "There was a woman he could see beside a window of the car," he said, "A child was sitting beside her and we could hear them screaming. We couldn't ges to them, though, and they were burned to death." Mr. Michaud also told of a man who had come into his coach with his arm almost torn off, crying, "please help me," he was given all the help possible but bled to death. Fire Started Quickly Sydney M. Harvey of Philadelphia said the colonist coach and the bag- gage car were in flames within five 2 "I reached them in time to see the flames con- sume what looked like the bodies of five women and one child," he said. "I saw the head of a little girl above a window of the burning coach, could see her being consumed by the blaze. The accident took place in a cut and you could see right down into the burning coach. I could see the feet of the child's mother stick- ing up as if she had been thrown on her head and killed by the colli- sion." It was only the fast work of the passengers in uncoupling the other coaches that' saved the rest of the train from the flames, Mr. Harvey said. One of them had already start- ed to burn when it was pushed back.

McLaughlin In exprestisg the tasks of the meeting to Hon, Mr, Martin, George W. McLaughlin, of this city, referred to the way in which old prejudices between city and country had been dying down, and said that, since the problems of both the farmer and the city man were both basically the same--producing a quality product at a low cost and §nding a market for it--there was no reason for any fric- tion; both should work together for the good of the land. Agriculture was the greatest indus- try in the Province, Mr. McLaughlin continued, stating that the total value of farms, together with implements 000 and the annual output over $500,000,000. Ontario must stand on its feet and meet world competition in agriculture with courage, said Mr. McLaughlin, stating that, in his opinion, the gov- ernment could well afford to spend less money on other things and more on the development of agriculture, the basic industry of the province. . A. Dryden The thanks of the farmers, over 100 in number, who attended the gathering, was expressed by W. A. Dryden, of Brooklin, who expressed a word of the farmers' dissatisfaction with Daylight Saving Time. In ex- pressing the thanks of the Rotary Club, President Gordon Conant, who presided, mentioned the gift of the oral decorations by Rotarian Jim Lewington, of Oshawa, to the ladies of Brooklin, to be used in cheering the sick or for any other purpose.
