T was a coincidence, but a very. fitting coincidence, that July 19 should have been chosen for the official celebration and thanks- several miles in the "rear of each unit, gathering these stragglers into groups and taking care of them un- til they could be transferred to the fleld hospitals, Not one point was overlooked. Battalion commanders commenced their nightly march with orders that took them to some de- serted spot, where the additional and final orders for the completion | | of the march were given them. While this was taking place, two battalions of the Second Canadian Division were rushed to the Ypres sector, where great visible activity | was being shown. Dummy hospitals, guns, ammunition dumps, and hang- ars were erected, and a few bat- talions marched endlessly along the ROBS:--Wednesday, unsettled; with showers.

The two Canadian battalions took their place in the trénches one night and made a raid, leaving behind fdentification in suff- cient quantity to let the Hun know that Canadian {roops were on that sectcr. After the raid they were at once relieved and hurried to Amiens, where, in conjunction with their | brother battalions, they took part in | that famous attack on the morning of August 8. The result of this secrecy and this subterfuge was exactly what was in- tended. The enemy, seeing only the dummy preparations, hurried rein- forcements to the Ypres salient, with the result that when, on that beau- tiful summer morning of August 8, the brilliant rays of the newborn sun | were dimmed by the simultaneous | flash from thousands of guns, they were woefuily unprepared, and the Canadians, with their British, Aus- tralian and French brothers, broke through at Amiens for the greatest advance of the whole war on the western front, seven and one-half . miles in one day, 15 miles in three Ter days. The events which followed are common knowledge--Monchy, Drou- court-Queant Switch, Canal du Nord, Bourlon, Cambrai, Denain, La Sen- tinelle, Valenciennes, and last of all, Mons, July 19, 1918, was the real be- ginning of the peace which the world now enjoys. And for it the world owes' as much to .Gen. Rawlinson, and to all the officers and men who 80 loyally carried out the strategy he created, as it does to the statesmen who drew up the final document which closed the era of strife. Jumbo, Jumbo was seen by Sir Samuel 'Baker, the famous African traveler, jin 1861. The elephant, which was { then only about our feet high, was iin the possession of some Arabs who sold him to an animal collector, who In turn sold him to the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris. In 1865 Jumbo was sold to the London Zoological So- ciety, where he soon became a great favorite. 'Every day he was brought out in the gardens and exercised with a load of boys and girls on his baék. At Jase it was rumored that he had developed a bad temper, and his keepers were afraid that he would injure somebody. When P. T. Bar- num heard this he offered $10,000 for Jumbo. The offer was accepted. When the sale became known a great outcry was raised in London, the newspapers and the public pro- testing against it. Offers were made 16" buy' Fumbo 'but Mr. um insisted upon taking him to the 'United States. In 1342 Jumbo ar- rived in New York 'was dragged through Broadway in a great box to which were attached sixteen horses. He continued to be an attraction of the Barnum Circus until September 13, 1885, when he was put out of existence by a freight train at St. Thomas, Ont. He was the track wilen the engine struck him, and he survived his wounds only fif- 'teen minutes, He was about 26 years old when killed, and was not thought to bave attained his full size. He was then eleven feet two inches high 'at the shoulders and weighed six and one-half tons. His trunk was seven fest four Inches 'i long, and his tusks one foot 'hree and one-half inches in circumference. giving for the signiug of peace. For Just one year previously, on July 19, 1918, in France, began that wonder- ful movement of troops which eulmi- nated in the series of battles known now as the Last Hundred Days, the battles which resulted in the over- whi of the enemy, his uncon- di capitulation and finally in the treaty which has been ac- claimed throughout the British Empire. * ; During the war little or nothing was heard of the preparations which Preceded any great battle. The sil- ence was necessary, Yet the organiz- ation of forces and material for any great battle throbbed with a greater romance than the actual fighting did. If the organization, the staff work, had been done thoroughly, the battls resolved itself into more or less of a mechanical movement. The battle of the Somme, 19186, of Vimy, and of Passchendaele, 1917, 'were preceded by little or no attem at secrecy. The army and army gro 3 commanders depended largely on X preponderance of artilery. Gen. Sir Julian Byng was the first man to show what silence could accomplish by his sudden onslaught on the Cam- brai front in the autumn of 1917. It was by enlarging upon Byng's tactics that Ludendorff rose to power and achieved such triumphs in the spring of 1918. Thus, a year ago secrecy of move ment and of all organization became recognized as the chief factor in the Prosecution of any malor operation. And it was with the adoption of this maxim that ance of the last hun- dred days born. It is only pos- 3 sible to tell it from the Canadian Corps' viewpoint, or rather from the actual experience of one battalion of' the Canadian Corps. But what is common to that battalion was com- mon to all. On May 8, 1918, the Canadian Corps, which had been holding one- fifth of the whole British front in the Lens and Arras sectors, was moved into General Headquarters' Reserve, for the purposes of training for fu- ture offensive operations, and for the, purpose of counter-attacking, should the enemy have projected the expect ed altacks at Bethune and Arras. Early in July the corps again took its place in the line on the old corps' homestegd, Arras. Then on July 19th, as one bat- talion was preparing to take over its Tauting ston of the line, orders were ddenly cancelled, and the ion ordered to march to a Photo Frames anticipation of early autumn days--grace of line, harmony of col- These are of an altogether 3 or and richness of fabric are the "salient features of these essen- - new type and are designed, some in BROCADED BSILK: others in BRASS, SILVER and l BRONZE, tially feminine creations, resulting in a composite of remarkable beauty and appeal. . a Aha drank Wedding Rings----Marriage Licenses | SMITH BROS.
