Scott, C.M.G., D.S.0., of Quebec, Senior Chaplain of the First Canadian Division, | "THE GREAT WAR AS I SAW IT" | -- A Piteous Procession, | About two in the morning a de- spatch rider arrived, and meeting me at the door asked if I could speak French, and every one else who can walk to clear off ta Ypres as soon as they can; the Germans are close at hand." Indeed it sounded so, bekause the rifle fire was very close. I went into the room and delivered my message, in French and -English, to the wound- ed men. Immediately there was a sendral stampede of all who could possfhly drag themselves toward the city. It was indeed a piteous pro- cession which passed out of the door, --Turcos with heads bandaged, or arms bound up, or one leg limping, and our own men equally disabled, helping one another down that ter- Soon all the people who could walk had mone. But there in the room and along the pavement outside, lay help- less men. 1 went to the M.O. and asked him what we were to do with the stretcher cases, "Well," he said, "1 suppose we shall have to leave them because , all the ambulances have gone." "How can we desert | them?" I said. The Medical Officer | was of course bound by orders to go | back with his men but I myself felt | quite free in the matter, so I said, "1 will stay and be made prisoner." | "Well," he said, "so will I. Possibly | I shall get into trouble for it, but I | cannot leave them to the enemy with- out any one to look after them." So we made a compdct that we would | both stay behind and bé made pris- | oners. I went over to another Field Ambulance, where a former curate of mine was chaplain, They had luckily been able to evacuate their wounded and were all going off. I told them that I should probably be made a prisoner that night, but ask- ed him to cable home and tell my { family that I was in good health and | that the Germans treated chaplains, when they took them prisoners, very kindly. 'Then I made my way back. There was a tremendous noise of guns now at the front. Jt was a hor- rible thought that our men were up there bearing the brunt of German fury and hatred, Their faces passed through my mind as individuals were recalled. The men whom I knew so well, young, and strong and full' of hope and life, men from whom Oan- ada had so much to expect, men | whose lives were go precious to dear | ones far away, were now up in that poisoned atmosphere and under the: hideous hail of bullets and shells. {The thought almost drove a chap- {lain to madness. One felt so power- {less and longed to be up a: 'oing. Not once or twice in the Great War, 'T have longed to be a combatant of- ficer with enemy scalps to my credit. Our men had been absolutely guilt- | less of war ambitions, It was not their fault that they were over here. | That the Kaiser's insatiable mad lust forvpower should be able to launch destruction. upon Canadian hearts end homes was intolerable. I look- ed down the Ypres road, and there, to my horror, saw the lovely city lit up with flames. The smoke rolled up into the moonlit sky, and behind the dull glow of the fires I saw the Cloth Hall tower stand out in bold {defiance. There was nothink for us to do then and for nearly four years more but keep our heads cool, set our teeth and deepen our resolve. Ax Awful Chance, The dressing etation had received more stretcher cases, and still more were coming in. The Medical officer and his staff were working most heroically. I told him I had given instructions "about cabling home should I be takem prisoner, and then I suddenly remembered that I had a scathing poem on the Kaiser in my pocket. I had written it in the quiet beauties of Beaupre, below Quebec, when the war first began. When I wrote it I was told that if I were ever taken prisoner in Germany with that poem in my pocket, I should be shot or hanged. At that time the German {front line seemed so far off that it was like saying. "If you get to the | moon the man there will eat you up." He said, '"Tell the Turcos | But the changes and chances of war |had suddenly brought me face to | face with the fact that I had resoly-- jed to be taken prisoner, and from ;what I had heard and saw the event | { So I said to the | M.O., "I bave just remembered that | {I have got in my pocket a printed | {was not unlikely. f copy of a very terrible pdem I wrote about the Kaiser.

The M.O. laughed but think- {ing it unwise on gemeral principles {to wave a red rag in front of a mad |bull, advised me to tear up my verses, 1 did so with great reluct- ance, but the precaution was un- necessary @s the Germans never got {through after all.

Their Maker how they died. The eloquent tribute is that, in spite of the enemy's super- fority in numbers, and his brutal not get through, man among the Canadians was "on his job" that night. - We crossed the field to the farm-house which we found filled to overflowing, Ambu- lances were waiting there to carry the wounded back to Ypres. I saw many friends carried in, and men were lying on the pavement outside. Bullets were cracking outer brick walls, One Highlander mounted guard over a wounded Ger- man prisoner. He bad captured him and was filled with the hunter's pride in hfs game, '"T'got him my- self, Sir, and I was just going to run him through with my bayonet when he told me he had five children, As I have five children myself, I could not kill him, So I brought him out here." 1 -looked down at the big prostrate German who was watching us with interest largely rooted in fear. "Funf kinder?" (five children). "Ja, ja." I wasn't going to be beat- en by a German, so I told him I had seven children and his face fell. I found out afterwards that a great many Germans, when they were cap- tured, said they Bad five children. The Germans I thipk used to be put through a sort of'\catechism before they went into action) in case they should be taken prisoners. For ex- ample, they always told us they were sure we were going to win the war. They always said they were glad to be taken prisoners, When they were married men, they said they had five children and so appealed to our pity. People do not realize even yet how very thorough the Germans were in everything that they thought was going to bring them the mastership of the world. When the German soldier saw the game was up, he sur- rendered at once and thus was pre- served to fight for his country in the next, war. . (Copyrighted In Canada by F. G.
