Havre and Antwerp, fol­ lowing three very strenuous days spent in France, and Flanders, they were of one mind—the “ trip from Canada and some discomforts and disappointments experienced during the week-end were compensated for many times over by the rare privi­ lege of being on such historic ground and witnessing His Majesty the King unveil Canada’s superb memorial on Vimy Ridge. If we stressed this in our last article it can bear repeating. Tuesday found us billeted in hotels in London, many re-united with rela­ tives and friends living in Blighty, and there was much,in entertainment apd sight-seeing in prospect. ' Tours of the old battle front and billeting areas enabled the pilgrims to visit only the principal points on the long stretch of line on which Canadian troops were employed from early spring 1915 till the Corps' jump­ ed off east of Amiens in the. break­ through which marked the commen­ cement of the victorious “Last Hun­ dred Days,” unless they were includ­ ed in specially organized cemetery parties, or made private arrange­ ments for transportation to cemeter- ries^or^memorable^localitie3^off=the routes followed by the busses A greatmanydid“So-by-tTain.or^taxi—2 The women, particularly those ad­ vanced in years, found it very trying to conform to the daily program; the ex-troops—twenty years older than when they performed military duties in the same territory—were not the least hesitant about admitt­ ing that age was telling oh them. Some of the' araragements related to land movements did not work out as we had anticipated. The travel agency or whoever was responsible for billeting arid transporting us about the country, overcame many of the difficulties connected with the handling of so large a number of men, women apd children, but there was a good deal of complaint con­ cerning disruption of tours in the Somme and Ypres areas. There were delays in fleets of busses getting away from various points; many of the French drivers were strange to •the front, and . the fours were neces­ sarily hurried, with no means ap­ parently provided, . except thru the official guide book, for passengers to be kept informed of the significance during 1914-1918, of many of the localities through which they passed. Nevertheless these disappointments will be forgotten in the general sat­ isfaction which the pilgrimage pro- 1 videdl* ■ Few War Stars Around Albert.

More than 50,000 of the defenders of France were buried there, and a couple of. miles to the- south one gets a stern reminder of the losses sustained by tire Kaiser’s forces. In a burial ground there are 41.000 wooden crosses. The French cemetery at Lorette is carefully ten­ ded, but no cemeteries appear to equal those under. the care of the Imperial War Graves Commission in beauty and uniformity. From the spur, just to the south­ east, is rebuilt Souchez. which was pounded beyond recognition by the time the Canadians commenced to know it. and the nearby village of Albain-St.-Nazaire. also is now about as peaceful a spot as: one eouTd dis­ cover.

Canucks in 1915, and during the early months of 1916. There was Ploegstreert (“Plugstreet .Wood” to the troops), which the First Canadian Division was holding when our Second Division,, fresh from England, took over the sector inime-. diately to the north of them. It was there the new lot. under observation of the German, got their first lessons in trench warfare and’ suffered their: first casualties. And here the com­ mand of Sir Richard Turner. V.C., dragged through a winter of the most wretched weather conditions. Rumor had it. we recall,, that the Allies proposed to deprive the enemy of this position, which, the German High Command considered impreg­ nable, but it was not till June 1917 that the British, after expending three million rounds of artillery anir munitions and springing 19 mines— the extent of the underground gal­ leries was nearly five miles—cap­ tured Messines and neighboring high ground, with 7,200 prisoners and over 400 guns. Vibrations of the explos­ ions of the mines were felt in Eng­ land.. 140 miles away. Some of the Canadian visitors viewed this locality which includes Lone Tree Crater measuring 450 feet in diameter. Lord Wakefield purchased it, “to secure it from commercial intrusion.” 1 At St. Eloi, a few miles closer to Ypres, another thorough job has been done in reconstruction. No place on the front was more ■: completely obliterated* than “was St. Eloi. . At great ebst , the P.P.C.L.L enhanced their reputation here, and our Second Division, especially survivors of the infantry that were involved in the aftermath ’of the blowing of the craters by Imperial troops there late in Mhrch 1916, remember St. Eloi as one of the most distasteful spots. With a trench map one could put in a couple of interesting hours around here, . . Our, observations and the impres­ sions we gained at Ypres and in th© Salient will be covered at time of next writing. . ’ Courting British Friendship One of the contacts we made while on toe old battle front was with a man who had just spent three weeks in Germany. «He vouched not onlj for the apparent contentment of toe people, of all ages, but for their en­ thusiasm for the Hitler regime. Ev­ erywhere there was (.evidence of mil­ itary and air_ force Activity; men in u— ----- ------------ --------_ 2- 2--------2 prominent in the streets and cafes, and the smartness, of the German ir. uniform was in striking contrast tc the appearance of French soldiers. Parades, parades; even children going on hikes marching with military pre­ cision and singing German folk songs. “Heil, Hitler!” was heard constantly No one used any other salution. And the German orderliness impressed one wherever one went. In the midst of the intense nation alism which stamps life in German? he sensed a pronounced desire, to b< on the most friendly terms with Eng land and the people of the Britis! Empire generally. One official voicec’ this freely. He declared a combina­ tion of the British nations and Ger many, with the weight of the United States with them, could dominat< the world. Our friend could not tel his host that if Herr Hitler’s inten tions. are peaceful he should convince the world that his war-like prepar ations are not aimed at launchinjc another attack on France .-and, -indir ectly, on other powers. . A young woman who had visited Germany two years ago. and returned to Canada very favorably impresses with the recovery Germany was mak ing, had concluded a second visit, a. the Vimy pilgrims were finishin; their tour of France., She told th< writer that this, time she was con vinced Hitlerism has one main objec tive—war, if Germany’s aspiration- are opposed. Intensive Agriculture On July 2&th the pilgrims who dis embarked at Antwerp had interest ing train journeys to points, includ­ ing Douai, where they were trans­ ferred to busses. We were greatly impressed by the smoothness of the operation of the railways, the Indus; try of the people, and the intensity of the cultivation of the land.

He was basing his estimate on the size of his congre­ gation at this particular service, .^compared with the congregation total. Fort Erie is not such a heathen community as that estimate would indicate. No town of 5,000 people which maintains nine churches and two or three religious sects in addi­ tion can be termed un-Christian. In fact, Fort Erie probably ranks very highly in the number of churches per 1,000 population. But it is a fact that church atr tendance has fallen off, particularly in? the summer time, not only here but in most placea. For this the motor car is chiefly responsible. People can travel farther and more comfortably than they could a score of years ago; they are away from home more often and the church as a Sunday. evening attraction h^s given precendence to the auto. So far as morning church services ere concerned, the auto plays its part in decreasing attendance at j those as well. Families phonflng a long Sunday trip want to get an early start or else the car needs a little fixing up. But the ear is not entirely responsible. An ever-in­ creasing number of people are com­ ing to literally regard Sunday mom- ™ W as their day of rest and in a air force uniform seemed to be most contest of .sleep versus church, the former wins.—Fort Erie Times-Re- view. ime battlefield is.at.,^“rceleH^ ^valiant part in forcing back iw^jJcrmans on these slopes,” Sept. 3rd-Nov.' 18th. 1918.
