••THEY SAVED TME SITUATION. -
Canada's soldier. at Ypres have
olazooed the Maple Leaf upon the
martial records of the world. In the
crisis of • great sad important battle
"their .allantry and determination
undoubtedly saved the situation."
This is the tribute of the British War
Offlae, which does not distribute
empty compliments. The complete
list of casualties has not yet been
received and when it does come there
will be many stricken hearts in this
land : Mut even these tp whom the
battle has brought • personal loss will
glory, as do we all, in the great feat
of •rnis which the Canadians beve
performed.
Many of the hest and strongest aid
keenest of Canada's sons his,. gone to
the front. and we have expected them
to do their duty and to suffer no dis-
credit in comparison with the best
troops of the British or any other
army. Canals was proud in her con-
fidence in her men : now she is proud
in her knowledge.
Those who have laid down their lives
in their country's cense have earned
the undying gratitude of all Gene -
diens. Their blood has been spent in
the defence of Rigbt and Freedom.
This shall be their memorial for all
time.

In Germany it is being realised that
