1915 chief brant of the 4th clanadtaba was to live up tn the family tradition and lead his tribe sadly reduced by over a hundred years of civilization to the place where the british hard pressed just as his ancrstrr had done years before in the valley of the mohawk so far only did history re peat for while joseph brant the ancester served in many campaigns and glorloustyand lived to a useful old age cameron brant the descen dant served hi one ampigr and gloriously leading his tribe just as straight as any chief had ever done in the valley of the mohawk but giving his youthful life i on the storied ridge of he was one of many youths with glorious military inheritance whose family coat of arms was etched with the add of war but who was not al lowed to fulfill the high hopes of military distinction entertained by his ancestry chief brant was a fine fellow not easily perturbed and with a quiet little smile that won his way into the hearts of all the officers of the batta lion as an officer he was efficient and as a leader of his platoon i- ub sure they would have followed him just as faithfully as then ancestera had followed his ancester he was i believe the last of the mohawk chiefs and quite worthy of the great tribe that nurtured him and the great chiefs who inspired him christmas 1914 was passed on salis bury plains in the traditional army manner with the officers rullltig on the sergeants and on the men and being extended a hospitality as gen erous and hearty as it was inspiring and levitating it takes a great amount of self control to go the rounds of a battalion on bristmas day with everybody literally falling over himself in order to show his of ficers that no matter how stiff formal the relations on parade and on duties the whole fabric of military life was a warp and woof of comrade ship and brotherly love soldiers an and all together to the end no mat ter where that might be think that christmas hi the army is subversive of discipline but i do z think so and if an officer knows t principles of leadership christmas could come a doxen times a year and j efficiency would moult no feather war may be hell according to sherman and many others but there is no 1 phase of life where the relationships are finer than those between officers and men tn a well ordered command provided of course the officer knows the iiiwwg of sportsmanship

modern industry where the wants of uieemlceos are all anticipated and provided far that is all the wants save the gi of all the sense of liberty and freedom but enough of this and there are many ohiixtmas days to come and those celebrants of the day in 1914 with their uproarious enthusiasm and loyalty and devotion to duty will always be present guests of great honour and dlsttnc- uon i robert iamb was the first casualty in the halton rifles during the war it la always raster tn name tin first moreover we had a good time and the causaltles were very much pleased and the padre got a thrill out of it too there is a great harvest of sor row and misery reaped from the melds of war that does not grow from bullet wound but springs from the soil of disease and disappointed hopes and the sense of being stuck away in some backwater camp and forgotten like some article of obsolete equip ment many officers and men learned all this and i know of no condition in the war of greater sadness the canadian division was issued with the english web equipment be fore going to prance and also with english made ammunition boots and entrenching tools they retained the ross rifle till after the second battle of pres where it was claimed by some the nugaxine jammed under rapid are the boots were very bard and stiff but the equipment was soft and jomfortable as much so as any equipment can be the canadian entrenching tool dej vised by trie minister of muiuft was discarded as unsuitable as was much equipment invented and tested during the war this all cost money muttons were wasted by these expermients but war is largely waste and a nation of civulans forced into such a wax is peculiarly prone to mistakes and errors and the price is not always reckoned tn dollars and cents colonel sam hughes came to the camp at regular intervals and on one occasion he was accompanied by lord roberts of kandahar there were many people during the war who de plored the fact that roberts had not been born into this world of trouble twenty years later so that he might have led the army in the greatest war it had ever faced whether he would have been better a and quali fied than others we know not but we do know that there was no officer in the army who commanded so much confidence and so much respect as uttle bobs he visited us on the plains his brit ish warm coat hung from his trail shoulders hke a sack and the spring had all gone from bis step and thq ore from his eye bobs belonged to an earlier day and no power can turn back the hands of time or arrest its corrosion since that day nearly six teen years ago thousands of other soldiers have declined into the vale of yean or passed out of the picture al together lloyd george was another celebrity who visited the canadians though at that time he was chancellor of the exchequer and not prime minister ss be was under the coalition a very in spiring speaker to whom the division listened with rapt attenttoii meanwhbe like hamlet we ate tne air promise crammed and believed half believed the innumerable camp rumors that chased one another about the plains and had us one day on the tqtinh bound for prance and the next committed to a long period of defense work tn england i think we were kept too long in england and whether this was due to the fear of a german invasion or to a lack of confidence in our fitness we know not we did not get away tin the first week in february and it has always been my feeling in the matter that it would have been better for the canadian forces if they had established a base in prance and landed all their troops there and not m england training within sound of the guns would have been more serious and moreover every of ficer and man would have had a chance to serve without being combed out m england as so many were in later years as the new formations arrived from canada as filling for the battalions already tn france in january colonel labatt was taken to netberavon hospital and for a time the battalion functioned under the command of colonel buell the original commanding officer at valcartler then colonel blrchell was appointed to the command and under his orders we departed for france colonel blrcheu was an imperial offlft had been a ypt in the 7th city of london pusueers and at the outbreak of the war was on duty in canada tn the west he was a good fellow an oxford graduate and a good soldier but like most regular army men he had no conception of the quality of men oa this side of the atlantic had be uved he would have learned all this and would have gone far along the road to promotion for he had a charm ing personality and a physique that tow over the officers of the fourth colonel blrcheu was a man of educa tlon and culture and fully qualified to get the very best out of life and to see and understand tilings events and people why such a life should be snuffed out at the edge of thirty j eight by a aensless bit of lead tn copper and nickel jacket is

23rd the minister of education coafldent- ly expects that every school in the province wtl fittingly celebrate empire day in order to do this it is neces sary that the principals and assist ant teachers arrange a progrtunme of ns songs recitations addresses essays drills etc that win be of a patriotic nature no doubt teachers will consider it both a privilege and a duty to make the best use of the oc casion to awaken in the minds of the children in the schools a greater ap- i preclatlan of the nation whose destiny will soon be in their hands and of the empire of which it forms a part sentiment rules the world and it the boys and girls of the empire an ardent affection toward the sovereign under whose benign rule all the self- governing doininions th territories which acknowledge his sway are united and to insfure in them a patriotic love for tfie fug which flies over one- quarter of the habitable globe it is also hoped that teachers will try to impress upon their pupils that true civic duty requires the stern suljordtna- tlon of selfish and class to public and nut ion ft i interests and a thniightful regard for the welfare of others in the forenoon of empire day the lessons in reading composition his tory and geography should be of a patriotic nature such as would tend to increase the knowledge and inter est of the pupils in thing pertaining to their country and empire much use might be made of the map of the british empire in connection with special talks and geography lessons on this occasion in the afternoon the general public might be invited and a patriotic programme put on much suitable material for readings recitations lessons essays eta may be found in the school readers histories geographies and in the empire day booklets school regulations require that empire day the last school day be fore the 34th of may shall be duly celebrated in every school the whole day should be devoted to special ex ercises the trustees renrerentatlve citizens and the public in general should be invited for part of the day but the celebration will be most in teresting and moat effective if the children themselves take the promin ent part in he programme
