He Acted Under Orders From Mar- sure Upon the Enemy. Toronto, Aug. 30.--An earnest ap- peal to the business men of 'the country and to the women to aid the returned soldiers to meet the vicious propaganda of individuals who are trying to wean the returned man from the ideals for which he fought, and for which he now stands, was made yesterday by General Sir Ar- thur W. Currie in his address at Mas- sey. Hall at a joint meeting of the Empire and Canadian Clubs held in his honor. In the course of his story of the last hundred days of the war, Gen. Currie took occasion to reply to some of the criticisms tha had been level. 16d at him with re to the attack on Mons. He said "Orders, which had come to me through the usual channels from "the commander-in- chief, ordered that there should be no lessening of pressure upon the Germans during the visit of the Ger- man plenipotentiaries to Marshal Foch. So we kept up the pressure. The German plenipotentiaries did not sign the armistice until five o'clock on thé morning of November 11th. We did not know whether or not they were going to sign. Pefose they signed these terms, Mons was in our 'possessign. No order, verbal or other- wise, by me ordered an assault on Mons. - > Mons was neyer sssaiflted To assault a city an artillery bom-: bardment is necessary. Iam an hon- rorary citizen of Mons and the docu- ment which they gave me at the time they conferred that honor upon me states that no British shell was ever fired into the city of Mons. The word of the signing of the armistice did not reach my headquarters until 7.38 o'clock on the morning of Nov- ember 11th, when I at once ordered the line to hold fast."
