One jof these was the country home of {the Archbishop of Amiens, nd this {was to be our billet. I entered the | grounds by a broken-down gate and {drew up in froft of § large brick | building; one wing of this was =a {chapel and kept locked up. In froat |of the bullding was a well full of lempty tins and other refuse. The |interior of the place had once been {quite fine, but was absolutely | filthy, having been used as billets. |The billiard tables, however, could (still be used. The room assigned to | me was on the ground floor at the |back. The dirt on the floor was |thick, and a sofa and two red plush |chairs were covered with dust. A | bed in the corner did not look invit- {Ing, and through the broken win- |dows innumerable swarms of blue- bottle flies came from the rubbish heaps in the yard. The weather was very hot and there was apparently {no water for washing. I made an | inspection of the building upstairs, {but all the rooms had been assigned to different officers. The Archbish- op's room was very large with a huge [bed In it, but wore an air of soiled { magnificence. Nr | The Hour Draws Near. | Everybody was in a great rush (and, although I did not know when jour attack was to take place, I felt {that it might happen at any mom- | ent; and so, not worrying about my | billet, I started oft in my side-car to {see General Thacker at Chateau | Longeau. I found, as I passed | through Booves and other villages that the whole Canadian Corps was concentrated in the neighborhood. besides numbers of men. When I telles Wood, and an officer whom I met in the road told me that zero hour was on the following morning. I determined therefore not to return to the archiepliscopal palace at: St. Feuchian, but to go off to the attack. I returned to Booves, where I wash- ed and shaved and had dinner in a damaged house with some officers of a light trench-mortar battery, and after dinner started on my way to Gentelles Wood. It was a time of intense excitement. Less than a week ago we were about to make our great attack &t Amiens. The warm summer evening was well advanced when I reached our Battle Head- Quarters behind the wood, Al the staff officers were so busy that to ask one a question was like putting a spark to a powder-magazine, so I kept out of their way and journeyed up the road to the barrier beyond which no vehicle was allowed to pass. I said good-bye to Lyons, and then started off to find the trenches from which the 16th Battalion was going to lead the charge. CHAPTER 17. The Battle of Amiens--August 8th to 16th, 1918. It was strange and exhillarating to 80 off on an expedition of that kind in the cool air and fading light of the evening. Something told 'us that at last the hour of victory was drawing near. The moving of the Corps had been so splendidly conducted and the preparation had been so secret that success seemed assured, This was an achievement which was completely different from all our past experience. The only question was, had we taken the Germans by surprise, or were they waiting with massed forces in resist our attack?

I met as usual many men whom I knew, and finally some officers of the 15th Battalion in | a dugout. The light began. to fade | and I had difficulty in seeing far | ahead of me, but the track at last | brought me to a sunken road which | turned to the right. Here on the hill- | side more men were waiting in dug- outs, and I wae directed to a quarry, on the top of which I was to take a | path that would lead me to a group | of trees, where I should find the | Headquarters of the 16th Battalion. | When I got to the quarry I found | | many roads there, and whether it was {that the information I had received | was incorrect or that I was more than | | usually stupid I do not know. I wan- | dered up and down for a long time, {tripping over bits of wire and slip- | | ping into holes, before I was able to | |get to the top of the hill and look | [over in: the direction of the German | {lines. At last I found a track which | had evidently been used by men go- | |ing up to the front, I went along it for considerable distance and found | myself on what appeared to be a pla- |teau, but as far as I could see, no ob- | |Ject stood out against the starry sky- | {line. 'Shells were falling in the fields | to the left and at different points on | the Bastern horizon the bright light | of a Germon flare would tell us the | {position of the enemy's lines. I went { {on for some distance, straining my | eyes in the darkness to see if I could | I thought I had | Suddenly the over the line. He uskéd me the way to the quarry, and I was able to tell him. Then he gave me the direction I had to take to reach my destination. I resumed my walk along the narrow Path and at last, to my great delight, I saw a black object in the distance. When I came up to it I found it was the group of trees for which I had been looking. The trees were grow- ing out of a curlous round hole in the ground. Here, a signaller of the 16th Battalion happened to turn up and acted as my guid. He led me down a path to the bottom of the hole where were several dug-outs, In one of them I found more men of the Battalion, They were intensely keen over the prospect of a great victory on the morrow. I was told that the battalion and the companies swhich were going over in the first wave were in advanced trenches to the left, So, after bidding the men good-byw and good luck, I started off. At last I reached the trench, and getting down into it found the headquarters of the battalion had arrived there not long before. On asking where the Colonel was, I was taken to a place where a plece of canvas hung down | the side of the tremch. When this was lifted, I looked down into a little hole in the ground and there saw the C.0., the Adjutant, and another offi- cer studying a map by the light of a candle. The place 80 tiny that I had to crawl in backwards, and finding that theré was no room for a visitor, I soon took my departure. The Colonel ordered me to stay in the trench, but I had made up my mind to go forward and see the com- panies which were going over in the first wave, They lay along the side of a road some distance down the slope in front of us. In making my way 'there I passed a trench where tne 6th Battalion were waiting to follow up the advance. A German machine-gun was playing freely upon the spot, but no one got hit. When I came to the advanced companies of the 16th "Battalion, I passed along their line and gave them myblessing. It was splendid to meet and shake hands with those gallant lads, so soon to make the attack. They were in high epirits in spite of the serious- ness of their enterprise, ' NE A Wonderful Moment. The barrage was to start at 4.2v, 80 I left them about 4.10 to go back to Battalion Headquarters in the trench, es I intended to follow up the advance with the stretcher-bear- ers, On my way back I met the Ue. onel, his orderly, and his piper who, a few minutes later, was killed in the attack, 1 shook hands with them, and the Colonel sald "Now, Canon, if ui Why not dine here where Quality ind Service Is Home Style Cooking Lunch 12 to 2 p.m. anything happens to me don't make any fuss about me; just say a few words over me in a shell-hole." I said "You will come out all right, Colonel, there will be no shell-hole for you." Then, as my senior officer. he ordered me back to the trenen. I fold him I would go over the top with him if he wanted me to do so, but he would not hear of it. When I got to the trench only a few minutes re- mained till the barrage was to start.
