Lyon Former Canadian Press Correspondent Brings Home Splendid Report on Canadians.—Decision in the West— First Contingent Veterans May Come Home --New Hun Guns Carry 52,000 Yards, Air. Stewart 1'. Lyon, Canadian cor- respondent at the front during the last year, and managing editor of the Globe, returned to Toronto on Monday. In 00 interview he touched on conditions at the front with special reference to the morale of the Canadian soldiers. He also referred to the itaitan reverses and the Russian collapse and their re- lations to the tinal decision of the war. Mr. Lyon thinks that the men of the tirst contingent should be tdlowed 10 return home, 1' 'r various reasons, and stated that an agitation .to this end is active among the battalions that may bring the first men home in the near future. llis praise of the Canadian soldier Is unstinted. The corps g^ener- elly, be says, is in a state of high effi- ciency, "The people of Ctenada may rest assured that whatever tasks lie be- fore it will be performed with thoro- ughness, and the utmost self sac-rifice." The final declaim) of the war will not b,> in the east, he says, but in the west. It may take a year lom.r. but the combined strength id 134tion, the overseas dominions, and the United States must prevail. "When 1 left," said Mr. Lyon, "quite a number of people who helonged bo the original first division were asking for leave to return to Canada, and the men of the corps generally were in sympathy with the proposal. It was felt that much danger to family li had resulted from the long severant-e of domestic relations, In some cases men had babies old enough to talk and to send their love whom the fath- ers had never seen. Then some men had married just before leaving, pos- sibly on acquaintance of only a few months. They went to France and left a young wife behind. The young couples had become almost strangers. "The matter would not amount to much," said Alr, Lyon, "in the way of transportation. Inquiries had been made among the various battalions before 1 lett the front, and it was blend that the battalion with the great- est number of original first men had only it to little more than to per cent of the present membership of the bat- talion, Some of the other number as low as 50 out of a battalion ,,f 1,050. It is probahle that two ordinary trans- ports would carry all the men oi the . . original first now remaining in France.' °tit course not all of these ti!St men are in the lighting One.

(Prom The New York Times) On Sundey, October 28th, the Pro- testant,churches throughout the civiliz- ed world celebrated the 4001h anniver- sary of the reformation, In spite of the war, those interested in the plans believe that the enthusiasm this year eclipsed that of all preceeding celebra- tions, Naturally, the plans centre a- bout the figure of Martin Luther, the reformer who haS been called the greatest polemic the world has ever seen. Luther, it will be recalled, was a young German monk of lowly descent, possessed of an unusually keen mind and fiery spirit. He made a pilgrim- age to Rome, and so much did he dis- approve of the life or monks in the Holy City that it has been said he Gandy, for those with 'the sweet tooth, will be served 511 the Candy Booth, >nut Home baking, which al, ways disappears like the provehbial hot cakes, will be on sale.

A new pope, Leo X„ had been elected. Finding the coffers of the papal estate empty, he hit upon 2 common plan f;(r tilling them, the one of selling indulgences to the people within his jurisdietion, 1 his practice consisted of a so-called rel1gioe0 cera- oony wherewith a ma,, for the stipu- (Mimi of a certain sum of money might be absolved from all sin, Joh Tetzel, a Dominican monk, was assign- ed to self these indulgences In Saxony, the hom,> of the Germans.
