BIAleDES'f''EXPERIENCE OF THE
WAR, 'SA'YS CANADIAN 'V C.
Describes Elis Sensations During the
Ordeal of Receiving Decoration—
His Majesty's Gracious Into -est.
I wile once eskod to describe my
moat nerve a.nci in„ experience during
the War, flays a'Canadian V.C. With-
out any heel:linen I replied: "Attend-
ing the inveeti.tinei at Beckingham
Palace."
I suppose it is purely a matter of
temperament, though'I think my own
emotions experienced at that time are
rather COMM n ones. I fervently
hope that it is possib1e:.for a person
not to look quite as ridiculous and as
fear -stricken as he may actually feel,
otherwise I ant sure that 1 for one
must have presented a sorry spectacle.
It was 0 most delightful sunny
summer morning when I repotted at
Buckingham Palace promptly at 70
o'clock. After roportieg I was shown
into a, corner of a large room and
waited there,. feeling quite comfort-
able and unafraid, and constantly as-
suring myself, in the popular Cana-
dian phrase, that there was "nothing
to it." Alas for my premature confi-
,dencei
We were all "lined up" and moved
in single file out in to the quadrangle:
I thought it all most interesting and
rather enjoyed watching those of the
senior service who were ahead of me.
I was feeling most comfortably out-
side of it all, when the fact of my own
immediate participation in these cere-
monies roobed upon my mind like an
nvalonche, I felt a rebellion in all
the members of my body; they flatly
refused to answer the frantic "S.O.S."
that my brain was sending to them.
I became absorbed in this struggle to
the exehnsion of everything else, and
then—I beard my name called.
Put Him at His Ease.
I disentenglorl my legs from some
invisible enntnglements, and when my
brain ecemed at last to triumph my
eyes began to play tricks with me! I
had heard in the general. instructions
soma mention of a chalk marl:, but
had never dreamed that I should find
it such an elusive thing.
There it was—a huge streak of
white across the platform which al-
ternatively rushed at me and then
away frons. me. Despairingly— cnn-
velsively—I ponnced upon it ani held
it for a moment. I wrenched r- • feet
around and then suddenly felt as if
a huge weight had been at -.eked to
my right hand. With a Hereuleen
effort: I Lrought it up to my cap-
then lanced my legs and prepared to
Bann( stiffly at attention. But no!
illy legs entered into a vile conspir-
aey, my krees became suddenly and
violently affectionate, a horrible sick-
cn:nee feeling came over me. It was
the most humiliating, nauseating
fear!
Someone was reading out something
which I rcalleeci, in a vague sort of
way, was concerned with ane. I be-
etune crafty, cunning; by easing the
weight from the right heel and left
toe I felt myself steadying up.. -But
I fevently repeated to myself (maybe
it was aloud, I wouldn't swear that
it wasn't), "Never again—not for a
txayfui of decorations!"
At last the reading stopped and my
sufferings camo to an abrupt end.
The kind words, the genuine interest,
the kingly charm of King George
quite put me at my ease. It was
gratitude more than pride, and lay-
alty more than all. My hand was
promptly and willingly obedient this
time and my feet moved with perfect
ease and freedom.
But what a nightmare I had passed
through! .

Capt. Roy Whitehead of the broken -

at his home in Walkerton, where he
arrived from England, recently. He
had' been in England convalescing
from the wounds he received in

prominent farmer in Wales. While
visitig this farmer he noticed a Ger-

in reply to his query regarding the.
faithfulness of the soldier, the farmer
gave him a splendid recommendation
and told Capt. Whitehead the follow

that facts are sometimes as strange

wrote a' letter to his parents in Ger-

used by the Welsh farmer, and sug-
gested that if they had any British
prisoners working for them, that they
should use thein well. In due time a

"Field Marshal Haig ,ranks as

The Daily Express says the erux
of the whole of the operations was

Lessons of the War.
Women's work in war has taught
the strength of united effort, and the
worth of community service, the
beauty and the duty of labor for the
public weal. The valuable lessons in
food conservation, in the avoidance of
waste, in general economy, ought to
bear fruit in a less prodigal use of
material, money and time. The bust-
neer lessons of war to women are in
calculable, if used in the new values
of activity Web open before them in
the present. •

I know God walks in France to -day
- And lingers by the side
Of each and, everyquiet grave
Of those who nobly died.
Beloved France! yes loved of God
For all the griefs you've borne,
For those who lie beneath the sod,
For those left so forlorn.
Each cross to Him has grown so dear
He knows each one by name;
He knows that each one beneath the
sod
Died to save us from shame.
The Man of Sorrows knows the grief
Each mother has to bear.
And so He lingers by each cross
And breathes for her a. prayer.
And so He walks through France, I
know,
Unseen to mortal eye.
And lingers in "God's Acre," where
Our sons and herons lie.
