RESULT OF THE WAR BEING IN THE LIES' FAVOR, India Is Loyal t to the Core, He De- clares--Visions Seen By Allied Soldiers Declared To Be True, Mr. Wood Says. "If there is any feeling of "unrest as to the outcome of this war, cast it aside," said Rev. Frederick Wood, | a missionary who has just arrived home from India, after serving sev en years during his last stay. On Friday morning a Whig repre- sentative had an interview with him, and Mr. Wood stated he had made the entire journey within close proximity to the firing line and nev- er for an instant felt afraid. The | greatest optimism prevails through- | out the whole of France and Eng- | land, he declared. Both nations | realize the huge task they have upon | their hands, but are confident of its outcome. France, he said, is most | grateful to the British Empire for | what it has done in fulfilling more | than its obligations. AL- Mr. Wood landed at Marseilles, and travelled to Paris and Boulogne. | He stated that the British hold at least the line between the lafter Hpoint--and Amiens. At Etaptes | there. is a huge Canadian camp, with the Canadian flag floating proudly over it. The Germans will never break through on the western frontier, de- clared the missionary. Many fruit- less attempts have been exerted, but nqthing has been gained. Sizing up the situation in the eastern thea- tre of the war, Mr. Wood was in- | clined to think that the Russians would be as hard a nut to crack. The strategy already displayed by | Grand Duke Nicholas clearly demon- strates that an army which retreats | and remains 'intact will eventually break forth and overwhelm the Ger- mans, retaking Warsaw, Lodz, Lem- burg and all other places. According to what he has seen, France has numerous young men as | yet not called to the colors. In "London, Mr. Wood remarked that the Canadian is held in the highest esteem. Here he met sev- eral in the hospitals who had been wounded at Langemarke, La Bassee, 8t. Julien and in other fierce battles. In. one hospital the home-coming missionary came across a gallant those who rescued the guns from the Germans at St. Julien. His lungs | are 'badly affected by the poisonous | gases used by the enemy. but in spite of it all he is eager to get his revenge on the Germans. The ing home to Canada will never be | forgotten, and the missionary felt | like clasping the true Canadian pa- | triot to his heart. Many impressive scenes are seen among the Canadian troops, stated Mr. Wood, and he was glad to think { that he could call himself a Cana- | ian, Speaking of the difficult time he | had in trying to secure a ticket for | admission to the reception to Pre- | mier Borden in the Guild Hall, Lon- | don, he said it was only because he was a Canadian and a missionary | that he was given precedence over | hundreds of others. An American journalist, with whom Mr. Wood had made acquaintance coming | across on the ocean liner to New | York, stated he had in all manner | of ways tried to obtain a pass a day before the reception, but failed. Mr. Wood gained entrance upon applica- | tion three- quarters of an hour pre- | vious 'to the event. i Speaking of India, this country had never been so united as at the | present time, declared the mission- ary, who has been among its inhabi- | tants for twenty-six years. i Almost all the old-time sedition | has vanished and both native rulers | and persons of lower rank are un-| animous in favor of British rule and | willing to lay down their lives. id was said by Mr. Wood that the ma- jority of the Indian army sent to help the Allies are native-born sol- ers. When "Turkey entered the war it was thought the Mohammedan faith the dictations of the Sultan would | result in a thronging to the former's | cause. "Mr. Wood emphasizes the | fact that the Mohammedan popula: tion of India are not influenced by the Sultan, and theré need never be any fear of another Indian Mutiny. | The country is loyal to the core. Speaking of those visions bout hich 1 She onto | about w reports were i the Whig, Mr. Woed emphatically | claims that it is absolutely true.
