THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, . THURSDAY-" APRIL 5. 1817. VIVIDLY SENSED WAR BY EX-GOVERNOR WES ;i Coming Through Canada Mr. West Noted Soldiers Going ' and Wounded Returning. .WRECKS OF THE TRENCHES VXYMi Wounded Are Cheerful ul AU V -C Are Hopeful XnrWnd How Equipped to Carry on War. I War's sharp contrasts were brought Tlvidly home to former Governor Os wald Weit, who has Just returned from a business trip to Washington, "on his way back to Portland over the Canadian Pacific railway. "Eastbound trains were carrying men destined for the trenches; west bound trains were bringing them home." said the governor. "It wa at Calgary that I received my - most startling impression. My train wan bringing home a number of eoldlers, recently discharged from Eu . ro peart hospitals, dropping some here and some there. At Calgary we passed an eastbound train that had been picking up companies for. service at towns along the line. On one track was the flower of Canada; on the " other the wrecks of the trenches. Contrast Was Startling. "Warbound were great strapping sons of the prairies; homeward bound - on the very next track were . mere shells of men. The sharp contrast was startling. "There were men with parts of the countenance torn away, men stone deaf, men who were , nervous wrecks, .. men with withered arms or perhaps a foot gone. "At the flppot to meet them were .mothers, sisters and sweethearts, - eager to welcome them back. On the ' other track mothers, sisters and sweethearts were saying tearful fare . wells. I Condition Pitiful. "The return of those-who had come ' back was .most pitiful. Of course. their friends or relatives knew that ' they had been wounded, but few were . prepared for what they saw. They re - membered strong- men who had gone away, but those who came back were bent and twisted and wan and pale. 'One family found the father al most stone deaf. Another girl met her sweetheart uncertain whether to be happy at his. return pr to weep at his plight. Aim to Bend Half Million. "Canada, thus far tias furnished 8T0.0OO men for the trenches' and the . aim is to reach the half million mark. . Scotch, Irish and English residents in . Canada, native born Canadians, Amer- i leans who have become Canadians. Ca nadlans who have become Americans : and native born Americana have gone ' In the Canadian contingent. , "I rode part way back with a Scotch .'. man who had an arm put out of com ralsblon. He told me the Canadians ' had.no complaint to find with war or Us rigors. It is dig, dig, dig in. the . trenches for self -preservation and preservation ' of their country. The , food is plain but wholesome; the hos plal service of the best. Only Strong- Can Stand Strain. "Only a strong man can stand the strain In the trenches, however. 'These men you see returning are those who have recovered sufficiently to come : baok he told me. 'The frightfully wounded, those whose minds have given away, probably will never re turn.' "England, according to the Scot, is "now admirably equipped and prepared :. for Carrying on its part of the war, ' but at the beginning had nothing. The Germans must have, been ignorant of MRS.
