The Chicago Herald-Examiner has the following Ottawa special: The movies have solved a puzzle that for six years the military autk. orities of three countries, England, France and Canada have been work- ing on and as a result. a war ro- mance long thought shattered will shortly terminate in the wedding in England of a heroic British officer and a Canadian war-time nurse. During the war Miss Victoria Phillips, a Capt. George T. Walters of a Guards regiment. It was a case of love at first sight, but shortly after the meeting the captain was sent with his battalion to France for active service. From the battleflelds of France and Flanders and a London, Eng- land, war hospital the mutual ex- change of correspondence continued. Then came a big attack in the spFing of 1918 on the Somme. The Guards were in it. Letters from France sud- denly ceased. From the war office to Miss Phillips came the bald an- nouncement Capt. Walters "miss- ing." Still eamed of Hero. All that was six years ago but the Canadian nurse had had a dream f that her war hero was living. She never gave up hope and following the armistice she visited the batlle- fields with no success. War records departments of three nations did their utmost but to no avail. Hope seemed forlorn but Miss Phillips continued undaunted in the hunt for her lover. Weeks were go- ing Into months and monthg into years until a few days ago British government war films released by the government censors after six years were announced to be screen- ed in the Canadian capital for the military powers that be. The Cana- | dian nurse secured admission hoping against hope that here she might secure information that might aid her in her quest. ; , Picture Told Story. The picture for military informa- tion unfolded its tale of war and horror until it came to the battle of the Somme. Here before her eyes Migs Phillips saw her captain being carried into a dressing station ser- fously wounded. She almost col- lapsed in the theatre, Later she had an enlargement made of the plece of -| film and again got in touch with the military authorities on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean with the result that a cable just received in Canada announces that Capt. Walters has been located and is still in hospital; suffering from war wounds. In reporting Capt. Walters miss- ing it develops a mistake was made at the war office and that Capt. Wal- ters, failing to receive mail from his Canadian nurse, had ceased writing. The captain now according to cabled reports is making rapid progress from his war wounds and the war time engagement is on. again so .| much so that Miss Phillips is shortly sailing for England where a wed- ding ceremony will take place in London early in the new year, Tenth Anniversary Of the Great War Dec. 5th, 1914. A big engagement is slowly de- veloping. Four hundred thousand fresh British troops have reached France and are now on the firing line, The Allies are pressing a vigorous counter-offensive to Ger- man attacks. The British hold line along the Yser river, where the Ger- mans are expected to centre attacks.
