" I Will Never Forget

The following interesting tetter,
written by Capt. Douglas Higgins,
son of the late Mr, P, M. Higgins
of Toronto, will give some idea 01

Since becoming a soldier • I have
never realized what we,have done
could be done. Of course wo have
all read of triumphant armies
marching through conquered coon-
tries 'and cities, being greeted ' by
civilians, etc., but I never dreamed
I would have- an opportunity of doing
the same thing. However, we have,
and I will never forget the eicper-
Once to my dying day. It seems as
if one's efforts are bearing fruit, and
the longer you have been in Franco
'plodding along, the.. more you ap-
preciate what seems to be the be-
ginning of - the end. For nearly
a week now we have been marching
steadily, following the HIun in his
great retirement. Three days ago
we struck the first civilians, and of
course as the Fifield Artillery follows
close behind the infantry, we were
the second to enter. One who is not
a story book writer finds it hard to
express things such as we have seen.
The civilians, mostly old men, worn -
en, children., and some girls in the
small places, though in the larger
towns and cities young . Hien and.
girls are the only things missing.
Their joy was almost indescribable.
When we first met "civilians one saw
crowds of them on the streets
shaking hands with the men as. they
went past, giving them coffee and
flowers, and the girls kissing every-
one they could possibly-, reach.
They cheered 'and cried "Vive L'An-
gleterre," because they did not
know the diife'ience between the
Canadians andr English. That first
night we all had billets and beds :
they insisted -on giving us the. very
best they had. The next morning
when we pressed on, all the women

of the stuff, The Germans long
ago took every scrap of copper,

1 had an observation post in a
home belongingtp a French womau
who spoke fairly good Englishi, she
teasapparently, fairly well educated
and had been of the better classq
she summed u15 the four years . of
oaptiVfty. in words these , "four
years Jiving like' pigs," and; I guess
she was about right. The IIpn has,
pillaged every house, taken every-
thing
verything .of use to himself which 'lis
could possibly get, away with, and
burned .places el .,military, value..
About the only British troops these
people have ever seen were the first
expeditionary forces in 1914: they
were actually told by the. Germans
that the British would make thorn
work harder than he did, and some
of thein' evacuated apparently on
this account. .One extraordinary.
thing that amazed me was thedu m-
ber el; . French flags they p

had left. Here is a little Fr ne
h
rosette that a little boy pinned h
my tunic in the main street of a
large town. Since 1 returned from
leave• on the 26th of September the
most interesting phases of the war
have passed—at any rate the most
interesting so far, but I have no
doubt there will be a feat', more eye-
openers to come. By comparing dat-
es we figure, that the Buns had al-
ready made preparation to evacu-
uate territory' before lie sent hid
note to President Wilson asking for
lo-
an armistice; so you see the g
he was playing and what a huge
blunder it would have been to have
granted such a thing. Granting.hiin.,
peace on his terms or any other
terms now would bo the greatest
mistake .in the world, Uncondition-
al surrender is the only thing. The
war news is wonderful - at present
but I WO

However, I would not have missed
this for years of ordinary warfare

time I think the people were on to

them all away only that our .pur-
sett was a little quicker than he an-

fered most from lack of food are the
very young and the old ; the young
girls have not fared so badly. All
the -young .girls and all men _of mil-
itary age, also all boys of over
twelve years have been taken away
to 1vork, goodness knows where. In
speaking to a number of men. and
women I gathered the following in-
teresting facts. One very outstand-
ing thing was the treatment of
our prisoners, and in every case it
had been _of the very worst. Ill
treatment, lack of food, and physic-
al abase were spoken of by every-
one: The • civilians were left in ab-
solute ignorance of otic military
successes : they only just knew that
A.nierica was in the war. The work
