"THE GREAT WAR AS I SAW IT" | By Osnon F. G, Scott, 0.M.G., D.5.0., of Quebec, Senter Chaplain of the First Canadian Division, » Sgn MORE BPIES! In order to avoid the danger of | passing through the town; we gen-|ing of feet im the trench at the top Ponded to my g [erally used a path across the fields. | |1 was returning from the trenches| with some men one night along this | path, when we saw from Marbe | flashes of a light which was appar- | ently being used as a signal. At| once we were seized with an attack of' spy fever, and I said to the men, "There is somecne signalling to the | Germans." The night was so dark that signalling could have been seen at a considerable distance. Imme- diately we started off towards the light, which went out when we ap- proached, but we discovered an offi- cer in a mackintosh, and I at once asked him who he wa Tired as |our men were, for they were coming out after being several days in the |trenches, they followed me and were s0 keen on the adventure that one of {them had drawn his revolver. The officer became very rude and he us- ed some blasphemous words towards me in the dark, which naturally provoked a stern rebuke. I told him I was a Lieut.-Colonel and that I should report him to his command- ing officer. Then we asked him to give proof of his identity. I could see by his manner that he was be- coming extremely uncomfortable, so I insisted upon his leading us to the headquarters of his Qattery. He did, and we stumbled on over tele- ph wires and piles of bricks till he brought us into the yard of a broken-down house, in the cellars of which we found the officers of his battery, The O.C. was very polite, and, when I pointed out to him the dangers of using a light in the neigh- borhoood of the track which was us- ed by our infantry battalions at hight when going to or coming from the trenches, he sald that they would be more careful in the future. Af. ter a little conversation we left. A day or two afterwards I met one of the officers of! the battery, and we had a good laugh over the Incident, but he told me that it was even more amusing than I had thought, for the young officer had a duB-out in the fleld and was making his way thith- er with nothing on but his pyjamas and his mackintosh. When we ask- ed him for some proofs of his iden- tity, he was terrified legt we should search him and find him in this pe- culiarly unmilitary costume, which might have made us still more sus- picious. Ever since our moving to Brac- quemont, we had been preparing to complete the work of our advance towards Lens by an attack on Hill 70, the high ground to the North- west of that city. Compared with the taking of Vimy Ridge, the ex- ploit was of course a minof ene, but for many reasons it was felt to be an exceedingly dangerous task and one which would cost us dear- ly. The Germans had had time to concentrate their forces in front of us, and they knew the value of the commanding position which they | held, Everyone felt anxious as to the result of the enterprise, and we had learnt from recent experiences on the Ridge and at Fresnoy how powerful the enemy was. Although, of course, I did not let the men see it, I was always worried when we had an attack in view, When I held services for them on parade, or addressed them at their enter- talnments, or met them by the road- side, I used to look into their eyes and wonder if those eyes would soon be viewing the eternal mysteries "in the land that is very far off." I tried to make it a point never to pass any one by without a hand- shake and a word of cheer or en- couragement. How their faces used to brighten up at some triding kind- hess or some funny story! I was fond of visiting the nien who acted as the road control on the East side of Maroc. One of their number was of course on guard day and night, so I was always sure of meeting a friend whenever I pass- ed. I never went down to their cel- lar without being offered a cup of tea and other dainties. They used to sleep on shelves, and often invit- ed me to rest: my weary limbs there. I would thank them for their kind- ness, but thought it prudent for reasons of personal cleanliness not to accept it, It always gave me a great pleasure to come upon friends in out-of-the-way places. 1 remem- ber meeting an officer iate one night near the front at Loos. It was very dark, and as soon as he recognized me he exclaimed, "Here's old Canon Beott, I'll be d--d!" "My friend," I sald solemaly, "I hope you will not allow that sad truth to get abroad. The Canadian Government is paying e a large salary to try and keep > ooh from that awful fate, and if they hear that your meeting me has had such a result, I shall lose my job." He apologised for the expres- sion, and said it was only meant as an exclamation of surprise. : $a Vgc pn however, 'we became aware of the |smell of gas, and hearing the tramip- | atter was, for As lan 'enemy flarkligh of the stairs I went up and found the men of the 14th Battalion with their helmets on going forward in preparation for the advance. They recognized me because I did not put on my mask, and as they passad they shook hands with me and I wished them 'good luck in the name of the Lord." Such cheery souls' they were, going forward in their stifling helmets to the unknown dan< bers which awaited them, THE BARRAGE BEGINS. I found that sleep was impossible, 80 I went up to the O.P. and waited for the barrage. It was a lovely night; the stars were shining beau- titully and the constellation of Or lon hung on the horizon in the East- ern sky, with the pale moon above. A great silence, stirred only by the morning breeze, brooded ever the wide expanse of darkness. Then, at four twenty-five,' the guns burst forth in all their fury, and along the German line Law not only the ex- ploding shells," but the bursting oll- drums, with their pillars of liquid fire, whose smoke rose high in the alr with a peculiar turn at the top which looks like the neck of a hugh giraffe. At once the Germans sent up rockets of various colors, signal- ling for aid from their guns, and the artillery duel the two great ar- mies waxed loyd and furfous. I stood on the Aill with some of our men, and wgtched the magnificent scene, Noth but the thought of what it meant uman beings took 8Way our enjoyment of the mighty spectacle. When ddy dawned we could see, silhouetted against the morning sky, men walking' over the hill-top and now and then. jump- ing down into the captured trenches. Once again our Division had got its objective, At various points aim- culties had been encountered, and mn a place called "The Chalk Pit," which afterwards became our front line, the Germans had made a deter- mined stand. They had a wonder- ful dug-out there like a rabbit war- ren, with many 'passages and entran. ces, from which. they were bombed out with difficulty. One of our West- ern battalions suffered very severely In taking the stronghold. I went on to Fort Clatz some of the other advanced aid- posts. We had had many casualties, but we felt that the worst was not yet over, for we knew that, although we had taken the hill, the Germans would make, a desperate fight to get it back. All day long our artillery pounded away and our infantry con- solldated the line, Our Pioneer Bat- talion did splendi@ work in digging trenches under heavy fire, in order to connect our advanced positions. When the sun set and the night once more cast its shade over the earth, there was no cessation in the sound of battle. The next morning I visited the wounded in the C.C.S., and in the afternoon went by car once more to the 7th Siege Battery and thence made my way through Maroo to the front, as I had heard from the Gen- eral that the artillery were having a hard time. Their guns had been firing incessantly since the barrage started. I .met many men on the journey who gave me accounts of their experieiice during the battle, and by the time I reached the Y.M. C.A. coffee-stall in the ruined build- ing on the Maroc-Loos road it was quite late. Here In a cellar I found Some men making coffee for the walking wounded, who were coming back very tired and glad of a shelter and a hot drink, I went on down the road to the well-concealed trenches which led to the 1st and 3nd Artil- lery Brigade Headquarters. In the deep dugeout, I found the 0.Cs. of the two Brigades and their staffs hard at work. It was an anxious time because ammunition was short, and every available man was em- ployed in carrying it up to the guns. The Senior Colonel asked me itr would go round to some of the gun- pits and talk to the men. They were tired out, he said, with the con- stant firing, and there was still no prospect of rest, I told him that if he would give me a runmer to act as guide, I would visit all the gun-pita of the two brigades, Accordingly, a ruhner was sent for, and he and I started off at midnight. It was very dark, and when we emerged from | the trench and turned to the right on the Lens-Bethune road we met parties of wounded men coming back, and the batteries in the fields beside us were firing over ouh heads. and to * [remained Anotionidss had to pass under the road. I was |going on ahead, and when I stoop- led down to go under the bridge, to | my surprise I could dimly descry [in the darkness a row of silent mean, {sitting on each 'side of the passage | facing one another. I said "Good- | night, boys," but there was no ans- wer. The figures, in the darkness and still, I [could not quite make out what the men always res- hg. Suddenly, went up in the distance, and I saw, to my horror, | [that the two rows of men sitting so | silently were Germans. I was won- dering if I had run my neck into a noose, when a voice from the' other end of the passage called out. "They are prisoners, Sir. I am taking them back with mes and giving them a few minutes' rest." I must say that I was greatly relieved. I'went on to the gun-pits just in front of the Crassier, and here the men were working hard. It was splendid to see their absolute disregard of every- thing but their duty, I felt myself to be such a slacker beside them, but I told them how gloriously they were carrying on, and how their vn Wail fy, work was appreciated by the infan- try. The night began to wear away, | and when I reached. the gun-pits | that were farther back, it was broad | daylight. In fact. I visited the last | one at six am. Some of the batter. les had by this time ceased firing, and the men had fallen asleep' in all, sorts of curious positions, ready to | be aroused in an instant. Altogeth- er, my guide and I visited forty- eight gun-pits that night, and it was | about seven o'clock when we return- | ed to Brigade Headquarters, A HEROIC ACTION. % The next night the Germans sent over a rain of gas-shells on the bat- teries, and the men at the guns found it impossible to see their | sights through the eye-pieces of their gas-helmets, and so chose to face the poison unprotected rather than Tun the risk of injuring our infan- try by bad firing. There were of course many casualties among the gunners as a result of this. Some died and many were badly gassed, but the line was held, v As I was returning after spending the night at the gun-pits, I felt ter- ribly tired. The morning sun rose higher and higher, and beat down with summer heat on my steel hel- met as I made my way along the path which skirted the town of Mar- oc. I sat down by the side of a trench to have some breakfast, and opened a tin of milk and my tin of bully-beet, and was just preparing to have a meal when I must have fall- en asleep instantaneously, How long I slumbered I do not know, but when] I woke up I found, standing in front of me, three amused and puzzled Australian tunnellers. When I fell asleep, I must have upset my break- fast, which was lying at my feet, and the tunnellers were evidently enjoy- ing what they, considered to be the discovery of a padre a little the worrt for wear. They were some- what surprised, not to say disap- pointed, when I woke up, and they sald, "You seem to be very tired, Sir" I told them that I had had very litile sleep for several nights, and had been walking all night long, winding up my story (for the honor of the cloth) with the statement | | | % 7 % 7 NTH i 7 7 /, 7 I Ne h \) WN NN \ Sunlight Soap, being the purest and best lsundry soap made, will wash your clothes beautifully white and clean in 8 shorter time and with the use of much less soap.

Whether they believed it or not I do not know, but we had a long talk together and they told me of the work they were doing in digging a tunnel from Loos to the front line, The next day I went to the dress- ing station at Loos and saw the poor men that were gassed being brought in. Bo strongly were their clothes saturated with the poison that, as they weMebeing cut off, in order that the bodies of the men might be washed with the liquid used for counteracting the burning effect of the gas, our eyes and throats smart. ed from the fumes. There was noth ing more horrible than to see men dying from gas, Nothing could be done to relieve their suffering. The body, as@well as the throat and lungs, was burned and blistered by the poison. The German counter-attack had now spent itself, and Hill 70 was ours. One more splendid deed had been achieved by the Canadian Corps and we now held in our hands the commanding position which threat- ened the town of Lens. (Copyrighted in Canada by F. G.
