Detroit, Mich., June 28.-- "Young Canadian officers have been crucified by the Germans. They have been nailed to the village crosses. The cruelties the German Army has prac- tised since the outbreak of the war would make any of our Indian wars of bygons days look like a condition of Utopian peace." : baby: the-most § dai rec alleged atrocities from any man who has been-at the front, waa made by George Gordon Moore, fle on his way from De- troit to St. Clair Saturday. After an absence of almost a year the Detroit financier is home for a few days. For some months he had been awaiting an opportunity to re- turn and look after some of his ex- tensive business affairs in this coun- try, and, he says, he did not lose a minute when his conmections there warranted his departure, Mr. Moore #eems to have borne the strain splendidly. His health is better than when last here al- though 'more t half his time since the battle of Ypres, which he saw, has been spent with Sir John French, commander of the British Army. "General French and I were alone, having dinner, when word was brought of the first use of gas by the Germans," he remarked. "Our people ought to see the victims. Burning at the stake is humane in comparison. It only shows what this country would have to face if there were war, It is a signal to get ready. Canadians Saved The Day. *"The valor of the Canadian troops has won for them a place in the his- tory of Great Britain. They are among the world's greatest fighters, for when gas was administered the front line wavered and fell, the southern troops beatitig a hasty re- treat and leaving the Canadians all but surrounded. They had to turn and fire the other way. They fought for hours and fought so courageous- ly until reinforcements came that they saved the.day. "Their is no finer soldier in the world than the ian; no gamer, more resourceful man, and the Ger mans have a wholesome respect for him on the field, but have practised autrocities which prevailed in the days of Christ.

We would be "There is no precedent for modern Never before have the battle fronts, never entire process is new. In America we have no conception of what it is." "How long do you think the war will last?" "It will end as soon as the produc- tion of munitions by the Allies gives them superiority over the Germans, and that may be a year," said Mr. Moore. "I look for a speedy 'vic- tory when this condition is reached, and factories now are running day and night and treaping nearer to it. The Allied troops have the men, they have the morale, the money and ten months of education. When they have the munitions the end will be in sight. "Lloyd-George, as Minister of Mu- nitions, has brought about a great change in affairs. He understands and munitions are beginning to pour into England and from its own fac- tories. It is a war of artillery and tLe English and French have shown themselves masters wherever they had the ammunition. The big guns of the British have checked the pow- erful artillery of the Germans, and the French with their seventy-fives are mowing the fields for the infan- try. ¢ "These seventy-fives are marvels. They fire a shell weighing about 15 pounds at the rate of 30 a minute, A battery will center on a section and can live, It ly plows th and levels all ob- structions, and when the way is clear the"infantry fills in the gap. It is gradual and irresistible and the French troops are fighting with rare courage and skill, even in the face of the most savage warfare the world ever has known, "French Is Greatest General." "I 'had a cable from General French yesterday that all is well. When the war is over it will be known that he is the greatest gen- eral in history. The fact that we have been more than associates, close friends for many years, does not cut any figure in my judgment of him. He is a natural soldier,and his clever- ness will be told when guns are stacked, for real news of conditions has come slowly from the front. The battle of Ypres was the greatest which has been fought and redounds to the credit of the soldiery that par- ticipated and the mind that planned and anticipated its result.' "It does not appear that England is able to checkmate the German submarines," was suggested. "No, you can't whip a submarine with a submarine; other means have to be used. England has as many' submarines and they are capable of as great effectiveness, but there is nothin+ for them to attack. The sinking of English boats could con- tinue at the rate of one a day for 33 years before the marine was en- tirely destroyed, and probably they would build a few between times.

Russia has been In need of munitions: and now the supply is in sight and the men have been trained, so as results will change on that front. "There need be no alarm about Germany hurrying her troops west and striking the death-blow. They will not abandon the eastern frontier in the first place, and if they do miss in the west they will find Anglo-Sax- ons, who are the greatest fighters on earth, and the French veterans, who are as capable as the Germans, ready to show them the error of their ways." "And when the war is over will there be world-peace?" "How could there be? these men forget? No, there never will be world-peace. Those who hug the delusion of peace do net un- dérstand the basis of government. "By the way, it isn't any further across the Atlantic now than it was across the Channel when 'Napoleon planned his invasion of England. It would be well for some peace advo- cates here to think of that, also to reflect that this country could be throttled by a nation like Germany."

Turin, June 29---Alpine soldiers have still further strengthened their position in the Carnic Alps by thé oc- cupation of Zeillonkofel Peak, a mountain two thousand fives hundred feet high, west of Freikofel and Monte Croce pass. Zeillonkofel forms a part of the Kellerspipzen ta- bleland, from which a march down upon Plocken can be achieved in a couplé of hours. The enemy is continually growing in numbers and never lets a night pass without a strehuous attempt to recapture Freikofel, but with all their brave perseverance they have failed to gain any permanent footing in face of the withering fire of the Italian batteries. Along the Isonizo River the battle which began fifteen days ago, is still raging. The Italian covering troops are in close contact with the Austri- ans, who have retreated under pro- tection of their fortresses at Tarvis, Colmino and Goritz. For several days the enemy suc; ceeded in playing terrible havoe with the various villages, many of the in- habitants of which. were killed or maimed by exploding shells from a cleverly concealed battery of 12-inch guns, When the Italian artillery men eventually ai the where- abouts of this 'battery by the aid of air scouts, the Austrians, in mortal fear lest their cannon should be smashed or over-turned, sought to trick their adversaries by hoisting huge white banners bearing the Red Cross on the roof of a villa just be- hind the battery.

It was addressed from Baden. We do not vouch for the story, but we should add that it comes from a source that has furnished inside neys about German operations that has subsequently been confirmed, Thanks to an unexpected General Order, I am able to address you this letter. 1 have been here for two days, but at first 1 could not find a way to com- municate with the memberg of our Circle.

Thig is wrong, very wrong. But I cannot blame you for insulting us [with these thrusts. You should remember, however, that no matter what you may hear of our conduct, the heart of the Ger. man Social Democracy is still true to the International; we have only lost our heads, but we are regaining our senses. Even to-dav, or to- morrow, or next year is not too late. We still have great faith in our In-. ternational, and we will yet assert ourselves before the end comes.
