Harrison Co, Limited re 30 THE DAILY BRITISH "THE GREAT WAR AS I SAW IT." || By Canon F, G, Scott, O.M.G., \ D.B.0., of Quebec, Senior Chaplain of the First Canadian Division, CHAPTER 20. Preparing For the Final Blow. Sep- i tember, 1918. Our Divisional Headquarters-were now established in the delightful old chateau at Warlus. In Nissen huts nearby were the machine-gun battal- | fon and the signallers, and I had one end of a Nissen hut all to myself, so quartered in the villages round about. The engi- neers and artillery were stlif at the | front. As usual our men soon clean- | ed themselves up, and settled Sowa | | to ordinary life as if they had never [been through a battle in their lives. The weather was very pleasant, and we were all glad at the prospect of a little quiet after the strenuous month through which we had passed. Our concert party at once opened up one | | of. the large huts as a theatre, and | night after night their performances | were witnessed by a crowded and en- | thusiastic audience. Just across a field towards Bernaville the 15th Battalion was quartered in a long line of huts and in the village itself were the 14th and 16th Battalions. I was therefore quite near the men of | {my old 3rd Brigade. The 16th Battal- | {lon concert party gave a fine perfor- | mance there one evening, which was attended by some Canadian Sisters | Who came up from one of our C.CS8's. | The play was called, "A Little Bit of | |Shamrock," and was composed by | | members of the concert party. It was | | exceedingly pretty and very clever, | |and evoked thunders of applause | | The Colonel was called upon for a | speech, and, although his words oe few, the rousing cheers he got from | Lis men told him what they thought | | of their commanding officer, Who | | soon afterwards was to be awarded | {the Victoria Cross. As one sat there | {in the midst of the men and thought | What they had gone through, and | how the flames in the fiery furnace! of war had left their cheery souls un- | scatched, one's heart was filled with | an admiration for them which will | never die. | On leoking over my diary during | those delightful days while we were waiting to make the great attack, I see records of many journeys to our various battalions and artillery bri- 8ades. Wanquetin, Wailly, Dainville, Bernaville, Hautes, Avesnes-- what memories these names recall! I would i rattle over the dusty roads in my | side-car and pull | up at Battalion Headquarters, and get an invitation to dinner. On such occasions I used to visit the cooks first and ask them if they had enough food on hand for me in case the officers invited me to dine with them, and in case they | didn't, if they (the cooks) would feed me later on in the kitchen. When the invitation had been given I used 10 go back to the cooks and say, "It's all right, boys, you won't be bothered with my society, the of- ficers have asked me to dinner. In the evening, before I rode off, I used to go round to the men's billets, or to the Y.1M. C. A. tent, if there was one, and have a talk with the men on the war outlook or any other topic that was perplexing them at the time Often I was followed to my car by ome man who had deeper matters to discuss, or perhaps some worry about things at home, and who want- €d to unburden himself to a chaplain On the way home, when darkness had | fallen and our feeble headlight warn- | ed us against speeding, I would meet | or overtake men and have a talk, or tell them to mount up on the box at the back of the car and I would give them a ride. The rows of tall trees along the road would stand out black against the starlit sky, and in the evening air the sweet smells of na- ture would fill ug with delight, We felt too that nearer and nearer the hour of the great victory was ap- Proaching. Who amongst us would bo spared to see it? How would it be brought about? What great and fierce battle would lay the Germans low? The supreme idea in the mind was Consecration to a sublime sacrifice, which dwarfed into insignificance all previous events in life. We had our fun, we had our jokes, we met our friends, we saw battalions go on a Toute march, we watched men play their games in the fields; but to me it seemed that a new and mysterious light that was born of heaven hid behind the sunshine, and cast a glory upon men and even nature. To dine at the rude board table with the Young officers of one of the compan- les of a battalion, perhaps in a bare hut on the floor of which lay the lads' beds, was something sacred and sacramental. Their apologies for the plainness of the repast were to me extremely pathetic. Was there a ta- ble in the whole world at which it Was a greater honor to sit? Wheres could one find a nobler, knightlier body of young men? In the garden round the Chateau at Warlus were many winding paths, where old trees gave a delightful shade. Here at odd moments one Mr. '| Burton Billings, third concession of Elizabethtown. } | couta get away for a time into the { leafy solitude and think quietly and wonder. Although we were in rest | [ there was of course no remission of | | warlike activity and preparation. We | | knew that the next thing that lay be- | {fore us was the crossing of the Canal { du Nord and the push to Cambrai. | That was a deed which would no: care and diligence of our prepara- | tion, "Via Wireless," On the two Sundays that we were at Warlus, I had splendid church par- ades with the Machine-Gun Dattal- | ion. Part of thelr billets were in huts { beside the road to Dainville. In one | of them one night I found some Im- | perial officers who were in charge of the wireless telegraph station. They | told me some interesting facts about | their work. The night was divided in- | to different periods when the com- | muniques of the various countries | would be sent out. These of course | were for all the world to read. The most wonderful thing they told me, | up | however, was that they could pick the code messages sent from ths Ger- man Admiralty Headquarters at Kiel to their submarines under the soa. | Of course, not knowing the code, our | officers could not translate these des | patches. { I received a great blow at this | time, for my friend, Lyons, who act- | ed as the chauffeur of my side-car, | was sent off to the 3rd Division to replace one of the despatch riders | whom they had lost in the attack. | Our own signallers could not give me | another man. As I could not run the | Car 'myself, a sudden move might | compel me to leave it behind. Some- | one, too. might appropriate it, for | the honesty of the army was, as 1! knew from experience, a grace on | which one could not place much re-! liance. The only person to whom I could apply was my good and kind | friend, the builder of my churches | and huts, Colonel McPhail, our C.R. | E. He was always my refuge in dis- tress, He looked upon the building of churches at the front as an aot of such plety that it would guarantee to him at any time the certain ad- mission into heaven, He attributed | his piety to the claim which his clan made to be the descendants of St. Paul. Apparently in Gaelic, McPhail | means "the son of Paul". The Colon- | el was always fond of insisting upon | his high lineage, He came to sce me once when I was ill at Bruay, and after stating the historical claims of his ancestors, asked me it I had not observed some traits in his character | which were like those of St. Paul, I told him that the only resemblance to the Apostle which I had discover- ed in him was that his bodily pres- ence was weak and his speech con- temptible. In spite of those urkind thrasts, however, the Colonel mani- fested the Apostle's quality of for-| giveness, and was always ready to try and make me comfortabie. 1 wrote to him now and asked if he could send me a driver for my car He did not fail me; a few days after- | wards a young sapper appeared, sal- | uted most properly, and told me that ! he had been ordered by the C.R.E. to | report to me for duty as chauffeur. | I was so delighted that 1 a: once des- | patched the following letter to my | friend: -- "Dear Colonel MacPhail, If I had but a tail I would wag it this morning for joy, At your having provided My car that's one-sided With a good and intelligent boy. May your blessing from heaven Abound in this war, And be seven times seven More than ever before." The possession of a new driver for my car enabled me to pay a last vi- 8it to Le Cauroy, where I had jeft Some of my possessions on our trip to Amiens. I found the Cure in high good humor over the way the war was going. The outlook was very dif- ferent now from what fit had been when I was there before. I also visit- ed Arras and the forward area, where I dined one night in a tent with Major Price, who was in com- mand at the time of my original bat- talion, the 14th. The men were bil- leted in trenchés, and as usual were making the best of things. It was strange to look back to the early days of the war and talk about old times. As I returned in the twilighs, and gazed far away over the waste of land towards the bank of low clouds in the eastern sky, my heart grew sick at the thought of all which those fine young men might have to endure before the crowning victory came. The thought of the near presence of the Angel of Death was always com- ing up in my mind, changing and, I think, transfiguring into something nobler and better our earthly cone verse.
