On the morning of the 11th, at four odock. the 42nd Battalion (the Mont- real Kiltics), the P.P.C.L.l., R.C.R.'s and the 44th Battalion. of the Seventh, Brigade, attacked at Mons. The city was actually captured by the 42nd Battalion and the Princess Pat's, and the R.C.R.'s 430 had some troops enter the city. By eleven o'eloek, the time the armistice came into effect, we had established a line five kilo- metres east of the city, so that in nine days the Canadians advanced thirty miles. 5 The three outstanding bottles fought by the Canadian Corps since August, 1918, were: Amiens, which began Aug. ft; Arms, on Aug. 26; and Cam.. brsi. Sept. 27. In these three bottles, and in the advance from Cambrsi to Mons through Vaienciennes, the Cano- dlan Corps engaged and identified . total of fifty-seven German divisions, several of whom were so badly deci- msted as to render them useless as "htintt organizations. _ The principal towns”captured by the Canadians in that time were Cambrai and Le Cateau on Oct. 9; Denain, Oct. 20; Valenciennes, Nov. 2; Mons, Nov. 2. At least 150 smaller Mn! and villages were captured in addi- tion to those larger centres, which released from German domination over 300,000 French and Belgian civilians. In the Int three months of the war the corps advanced in depth to 3 distance of 96 miles. covering an are: 01/ approximately 450 square miles. Canadian troops have furnished a curious_ coincidence in British mili- tary history.

From August it to November M, the date the armistice was declared. the Canadian Corps captured 34,000 pris- oners. 750 artillery guns of all cali- hros. 3,500 machine guns, hundreds of trench mortars, and huge quantities of all kinds of material.

' Pace With Increased Birth Rate.. “the shortage in the supply of food. stuffs in Japan has caused the extra- ordinarily high price of rice and other food, says the Japan Advertiser. It is ltrue that the production of rice has been making more or less increase has pot been at such a rate as to keep 1 pace with the steadily growing popu- ;lation. Moreover, the yield of rice I is at the mercies of the elements and in a country like Japan, which is sub- ! ieet to frequent visitation, of ty- : phoons at the most critical period for the corp, the precarious nature of the I agricultural industry may be imagin- cd. In this connection, continues the Advertiser, it will be interesting to note the tremendous rate at which: Japan's population is . increasing. i, (Until a few years ago the rate of: ', increase was a little more than 500,-I ooo, but last year's increase is putl at close upon 800.000. According tOI official statistics just published the l total number of the Japanese popula- ; tion on December M, 1917, was re-l turned at 57,998,373. which were dis-l tributed into 10,241,851 dwellings at} the rate of 5.7 per dwelling. Com-l pared with the census taken at the) end of 1916 the population showed an increase of 799,096, and there can be I no doubt that Japan should be seri- ously exercised by the food problem i if its population continues to increase i at such a rate. It may be added that l the fuPrts are exclusive of the Jap-i anesc or Japanese subjects in Korea, Formosa and Karafuto. who may be! said to be self-supporting as far as their food supply is concerned. l Largest Electrically Welded Built In Britain. Production of Rice Has Not Kept And when the German people are called to. account for their inhuman treatment of their prisoners of war this last act of callousness must ndt be forgotten. The Roche treated his prisoners as a bad-minded rustic would not treat his cattle. m had treated them monstrously to the end of the chapter. He has not even sought to lessen the exemplary retribution which the Allies are going to exact from him by making adequate provision for the re- patriation of the prisoners of war. He has just turned them adrift, the well and the sick alike, and left them to shift for themselves. i But the German failed-failed u JAsrr-eg'immly as he has done in every .psychological problem he has teckled in this war. And so, for all their wested looks, for all their noisome l rags, thear prisoners of war have the ibesrlng of free men. They salute 'ctnu_tilit?uts1r, and look one straight lin the face when they are addressed. (As s party of British prisoners of ( war were humping back through Na- rnur the other day, some German'sol- ‘diers left a marching column and 'rsn towards them, offering them cig- iarettes and food. One and all the [prisoners declined the gift. "We iwouldn’t be havin' anything to do lwith them!” said the Irish sergeant ;who told the story. What a contrast ‘to the lickspittle servility of the; Boche in captivity. A Debt Repaid. Our prisoners unanimously testify to the kindness shown to them by civilians in Belgium. The peasants dared blows from the rifles of the guard, and risked heavy lines, to press bread into the hands of the prisoners marching through the villages. And on their long tramp through Belgium on their way to the allied lines after their liberation, the prisoners depended entirely on the food and clothing freely given them by the Belgians in the towns and vii- lages through which they passed. out a feeling of ehtiou. However much the Germans tried to torment their body, they utterly failed to crush their spirit. It is time that a public tribute were paid to the 'ttatrrtiileeett staunchness of soul, the unshakable self~respeet of' the British soldier in captivity. There is no doubt that his proud refusal to knuckle down to his oppreuor angered the Germans. and led them to redouble their efforts to break his pride.
