Iltstances of German mistreatment of the civil population of villages in France which were Iiiken by the Bri- tish -American armie.T era numerous, but perhaps none shows the told and calculated heartlessness of the Hurl more than the following story, whi.'h Was related to the correspondent by one of the inhabitants of the little town of St. Souplet, near St. Quentin. An attack by the English and Am- erican forces was impending. The Germans expected it and informed the population that if they gathered in the local church and put up a white sheet as a flag, they would be spared by the advancing allied troops. They did so. The Germans soon were driven out by the English and Am- ericans, When they reached a point of vantage, however, they turned their guns on the church. Several persons were killed and many wounded. The Germans had thought to make ' the British and Americans believe it was the allied artillery and "n tot their own, that had bombarded the church. When the allied troops entered the , village they found the church shat- I tered, the occupants terrified, and. many of their -number lying prostrate on the floor, dead or wounded. MONEY ORDERS.

By a pumping the latter into their intimate masterly bluff, however, he persuaded structure. the enemy that they were surrounded and the whole party, numbering 45, including two officers and three ma- chine guns, surrendered to him, Lieut. Rutherford subsequently induced the enemy officer to stop the fire of a machine gun close by. Lieut. Ruther- ford took advantage of this oppor- tunity to hasten the advance of his men to his support. He then ob- served on his right an =smiting party that was held up by heavy machine gun fire from another pill box. Indi- cating an objective to the remainder of his party, he attacked the pill box with a Lewis gun section and cap- tured a further 85 prisoners with ma - shine guns, thus' enabling the party to continue the advance. This offi- cer's bold and gallant action contri- buted,very materially to the capture of the main objective and was a won- derful inspiration to all ranks in pressing home the attack on a very strong position. Dashed Forward Alone. Acting Sergeant Arthur George Knight, late of en Albertan regi- ment was awarded the Victoria Cross for the most conspicuous bravery, Initiative and devotion to duty, when After an unsuccessful attack Knight led a bombing suction forward under very heavy fire of all descriptions and engaged the enemy at close quarters, Seeing that his party continued to be held up, he clashed forward alone, bayonetting several enemy machine- `unnci•s and trench mortar crews and Perking the remainder to retire in con- fusion. He then brought forward a Lewis gun and directed fire upon the retreating enemy, inflicting many casualties. Sergt Knight ' Ii, t m the snb- g eeguent advance of his platoon in pursuit saw a party of about 80 of the enemy enter a deep tunnel which led off the trench. Ho again dashed forward alone, and having killed one officer and two non-commissioned offie errs, ho captured twenty of other ranks. Subsequently he routed, single handed, another enemy party which .opposed the platoon's advance,.

Talking to the British Pilgrims So- ciety in London, James M. Beck marvelled at the restraint of the British people in the hours of their success, and diagnoses it by saying: "Britain's feeling is that of a Judge in a criminal court, facing a prisoner convicted of a foul murder, with the Judge putting on his black cap to pronounce sentence. That is the spirit of Britain to -day. She is thinking of her million dead." Tho average man feels that those who have the most right to celebrate can never come home.
