A.
WITH THK CANADIAN
AT THK IIUITISH FRONT IN
FRANCE. Doc. 8 (Hy cable del.icd). V
A wlldennc: of mud. a cold, clammvj f

The battle zone from (he sea to $IM
zerland Is one continuous loblolly. Hut'
wip Canadians are contemptuous of
the clement!., apparently indifferent.
They reply to commiserating remants
but Fritz has it Just as bad as wo
do."
Utterly unemotional, the Canadians
accept orders for rest and rr.frv 1,1 ' f.
FO oer the parapet. In rain, mud and
drizzle In tin; same spirit or readiness i V
they accept In.structians to m in ,irr'
billets.
In the middle of a muddy road. I
met a sergeant -wounded In the
shoulder by a sniper. It was after
the' Canadians had stormed and cap
tured the German trenches. A staff
captain stopped and questioned the
serceant. rwnlin ). t.. -
was direct from a hot action, and:'
wounded and tired, he answered an Jt
questions with the same careful pre' t
ciMon that might be observed in a
courtroom when a star witness was
on the stand.
f "Did the Germans quit?" was asked.
"No, sir."
"Did they put up a hard fight?"
"No. they rough r.iirly well. sur
rendering w hen cornened."
"Were the prisoners glad to be enp-
fured?"
"I'd hardly say that."
With group of officers I stood by
the roadside while relief was going;
on. One column was going in, one
coming out. The fresh column was
fairly immaculate as to uniforms and
equipment. The other was covered
with mud from bead to foot. But the
'Spirit in both was identical. Jokes
passed from one column to the other.
"Hello, Mickey." yelled an outgoing
Xlaple Leafer to one of his brothers
going into action as they came
abreast, "were'ye going?"
"I dunno, Bill," was the reply, "but
I think there's a war on somewhere."
The condition of the foreign troops
is most splendid. They are certainly
well fed.
The Canadian field forces not only
have the best staples but they have
also plenty of "palate teasers," In the
shape of sauces, .pickles and other
dainties to break the monotony ofj
regular fare.
The relation bet wen the Canadian
officers and men is similar to that so
often marked In. "the French army.
There is a cordial understanding
between both.
Everywhere I found the Canadians
confident of the outcome and expres
sion of the Vancouver boys summing
up the common belief
"It's merely a question of time.
We've got Fritz's number."
