Ned. | less to say every man stepped for- { ward, and after crawling through | fields, ditches and mud we arrived at Headquarters, not fifty yards be- hind the reserve trenches. Here we reported to Capt. Haywood, the) medical officer of the Srd Battalion | . of Toronto, atid yolunteered to. go Ww them. : "But, fo éontinue, in the midst of our repose after tea, just as a bolt from the blue, an aeroplane sped in swift circles ogerhead around our lines, dropping flaming signals, tell- ing all was not well, and to ensure immediate mobilization: of all re- serves. Among the yulckly-gathered groups of soldiers, all eagerly dis- cussing the situation, dashed the swift motor cars of the British staff officers, ordering men to their billets at once, as the dread foe had pierced the allies' line and were advancing. Soon the magnitude of the danger and the reason for itz sudden ap- pearance became evident by the panic-stricken Algerians, who, while dauntless against an honorable foe, were quite unable to withstand the dastard use of devilish devices, "Pride surged in our hearts when the streets rang with the. hurried march of fearless Canadian soldiers, 'who were at last to have the chance to prove their worth. While dazed French colonials broke madly down one side of the Ypres road, the othr side was filled with batteries of Can- adian artillery galloping madly to the aid of their comrades of the line, who were even then engaging on- coming Germans with their thous- ands, and untrained as the soldiers of the first contingent were, #8 com- bared with the well-drilled batta- lions of the vaunted . Prussian Guards, there flowed in their veins the same British blood which at many another time of cris had gpent itself willingly in gallant sac- rifice to stem the onslaught of foes, and well the world knows to-day to what advantage Canada's sons laid down their lives and suffered terri- bly, but succeeded in checking the sudden and terribly dangerous in- tursion of our asphyxiating ememy. "Perhaps it would interest you to know of our Third Field Ambu- lance's work. It was just about 6 p.m. when the rabble of refugees was the greatest, and we, being an ambulance, and having a hospital at our disposal, soon had the hospital filled with 'wounded .civiliags, Alger- ians and French soldlers, some dy- ing and others far spent from the effects of the Germans! cowardly use of the most poisonous of gases. All our doctors were busy, and the men likewise, to the accompaniment of the thundering of the eannon. "About 8 p.m, two of our motor ambulances were asked to go Major Templeton was going and although the Colonel forbade any men going two other fellows and myself asked the Major's permission, and he be- ing a good scout just smiled and said, 'Climb in the back where you won't be geen,' and in: & few minutes we were traveling at break-neeck apecd through the might to the scene of the fighting, for to delay was dan- geroug. Shells were dropping ali around the road and over head. Go- ing through Ypres, it was a veritable hell. The roar and whistle of 'Jack Johnsons," 'Wea Willies," and shrapnel was awful. Buildings on fire all around, dead horses, men, ecte., made it a scene mever to be for- gotten, and one such @s the hardest of soldiers tries to forget. We pass- ed safely through Ypres, St. Jean, Wiltshire, to St. Juliem, where our advance dressing station was not 400 vards from the firing Mne. Here we found one of our officers, with about 20 men, in a desertéd cafe with wounded lying everywhere in the rooms, and every one of them work- ing at the dresging of wounds, and literally covered with blood, while the German artilies ere systema- tically bombarding every house in the village. We lost no time in fill- ing our two ambulances with wound- ed and getting away.- To remember details of that night and following iwp days is impossible, for it was a nightmare, © All I remember is, I. made seven trips up the avenue of death" and back again and ezcaped without _a scratch, although each time I went back I thought it was always the last. ¢ "That morning I 'was relieved cg car by a vol ! he op) t trip | with offic of the 2nd Battalion boys |'and we were headed for a barn where there was an R, ¥, A. man who had been there 38 hours wound- led. No person could get rear him, | so we went up to the first line of | |'trenches, and, after they had pass- | red the word down the line not to fire on us as we went out, we crawl- | ed over the trench and started out for the barn, 25 or 30 yards ahead of | us in 'No Man's Land.' Perhaps you | | good people back home, sitting out! | on the verandah in cozy chairs as | you read this, may think it sounds | awfully easy, but if my heart was | ever in my mouth and my toes shak- | | ing In my boots, it was then. Ple- | | ture, if you can, a cloudy night, and ius crawling as flat as we could with | | German bullets flying one way and | | the British bullets flying the other, | way over you. One can crawl aw- | fully close to the ground, and especi- ally when a star bomb goes up. | | Well, I can assure you you could not have pushed a cigarette paper be- | tween my nose and the dirt, and be- | lieve me, a statue had nothing on | | us for silence while those flares had | burned down. It was only about | | 25 yards, and as we went we had to | drag a stretcher behind us and roll' dead Germans and British away | from in front of us. "It was the longest 25 yards I| ever made In 'my life and by the | time we were back in the trenches : with our patient we were surely €n- | titled to a fow minutes rest, even | though we were still in danger. Af- | ter carrying him through the wire | entanglements between the first line | and tke reserve line of trenches we | finally arrived at the dressing sta- | | tion. We made quite a number of | trips afterwards and brought in a | wounded German officer, and I can | assure you he was no delicate speci- | | men of humanity, for he must have weighed 200 pounds, but we wasted little time with him and had very litlle sympathy for his groanings as we jostled him along on our should- ers. His buttons, cap, efc., we very | soon "took from Bim "as sous LA but at that we treated the German wounded far better than their bru- tality deserved. The last 'trip out I, along with J. Smith, had just got out a few yards when a couple of snipers must have seen us, for they | began popping away at us, wi h the | result that 'Smithy' got one in the | hand and I had to get him k to | the station. "Dawn found us back through the avenue of hell, minus one ambu- | lance car and three wounded men. On Monday our little town was shell- ed, and having about 200 patients we had to carry them under shell fire across a field out of "the danger zone, about a mile and a half. Dur- ing this, one of our boys, Waller Smart, of Regina, was killed and several wounded, but we got all the patients safely away. After ji was over we returned, and for two more days we worked in the hospital un- de. intermittent shell fire, until fin- ally two shells landed plumb on the hosplial and smashed it up, and then, as the remainder of the Cana- dians were being taken back for a rest, we went along back to a farm behind 'Poperhinge' where we slept, speaking literally, for two days to; make up for what 'we had come | through. The third aight we march- ed twenty-five miles up to. the town where we are to stay, possibly for a month, awaiting reinforcements, which I do hope Canada keeps send- ing, for men are surely needed here, and we fellows up here surely-feezl it | to be tHe duty of all who can to come and take their place In the trenches for Canada's name and glory, for after all, this i8 our war and we are fighting for Canada as. well as for poor devastated Belgium. | This knitting neuritis which invades the ranks of sewers for soldiers may be only our old friend tireditis, Better for a man to work than to ba in the | British Columbia deuts in" its schools The farmer of Wi hag long been upbraid regard thy Ca ini] a seldom denied methods are ui then, is 'the explam I eral and firm adh@rence to' a taken course?
