There is n� doubt that the real feel-

it would be better that e should per-

cost of an Englishma 's blood, • a
Frenchman's blood, or t e blood of the

This .Was.brought ho e to me very

was talking to a little rench girl in
the town of Estaires, he was a- typ-

fined, vivacious; her fat er was one of
the Town Councillors --a girl as well

ed into a fury before in eyes as some
German, prisoners were ed past. Her
_eyes blazed, her face like paper,
nd it was as if she he a dagger in
her hand. She said; "0 , how I could
kill them!" Tell me, in n of America,
what was it that would o change such
a girl—a girl to whom a efore the war
the very sight of bhp a was abhor-
rent, who would almost etint at a cut
finger—make her want to slay with
her own hands ? to I ,you. That
girl had seen' things no girl ought to
be permitted to' -see w ile there are
men on the arth. She turned to me
with tears in her eyes, ashamed that
her feelings ad betrays her, and she
said, "Oh, h w good of you Austral-
ians to cornover her to fight for
us!" I turne to her a- d had to say
the truth: Miselle, we did not come
here to fight for yon at all; we came
to fight for IU own ,w.men folk, for
we know th t, though t ou live next
door to them filthy bea ts, we live in
the same s eet, and A ter they had

en without erica's h 1p, and I say
to you, "H , hurry, lest this war
end without you."
There was a moveme t recently in
Australia to give the in who had had
over three years' tante service a six
months' furlough/ It, ae thought
that these men—all the were left- of
the original oontingen- must be war
weary, that their nery s needed this
rest. Men from Great Britain and
Canada can get home an leave now
and then, but Australia is too far a-
way, and these men aave not seen
their home folk for ove three years.
Well, they refused to leave. While
cwwwwwwwc•cwwwwwwwwwwat
they are able to fight no one else shall
fight for their mothers, sisters, sweet-
hearts, or wives.
These boys weeei the same that were
the last to leave the front-line trenches
at Anzac on the evacuation from Galli-
poli. They were what were left there
of the !men who had made
that glorious landing, and they re-
quested the place of greatest danger
—the post of -honor-eaud it eatild not
be refused them,.
This evacuation 'was in direct eon-
tiest to the landirig, hut not less un-
ique in the annals of military history.
Whereas in the landing these Austral-
ians displayed impetuosity, dash, der-
serker rage, individual initiative, fleece
hand-to-hand fighting (every man his
own general), for which we would
have to go `to mediaeval history to
parallel; in the evacuation they dis-
played the exactly opposite qualities
of coolness, co-ordination, silence,
obedience, imagination; an example of
discipline—a body, of nieh acting a a
unit, in perfect response to a sin le
vvill—such as has been excelled by no
troops in the world.
These opposing qualities rwere re-
quired by the different circumstances
of each exploit, and in neither case
would anything else have been suc-
cessful.
The men who took part in that land-
ing have never ceased to wonder how
it was accomplished. 'those beaches
were mined, were strewn with barb -
wire out, into deep Mater (sethick that
it 'could not be Cut -with pliers, and in
the end was towed out to tse- by des-
troyers), were swept by machine gun
anderifie fire, held by an intrenched
enemy superior in numbers and arma-
ment. Two-thirds of the landing force
was killed in the boats before they
touched the beach, but the rem Ming
men not only landed in that hil of
lead' and drove the Turks out of their
first intrenchments, but scaled cliffs
hundreds of feet high and went miles
inland the first day, digging in three
miles. inland.
During six months that little -
force
of 'amateur soldiers from Australia
and Ne Zealand hung to that, strip
of Ian y the skin ,of the teeth, al-
ways against a_force superior in num-
bers, ha ing more machine guns and
artille with their base behind their
backs (the city with the gree t re-
sources of any in the East only a few
hours away) always with an army hi
reserve on the Asiatic share five times
as large as the British 4. xr0itionary
Force. -Of course the Anzacs (Aus-
tralian -New Zealand Army Corp4) did
not make up one-half the forces on
the peninsula, and there were no
troops superior to the Twenty-ninth
British Division that landed at 'Cape
Belles, or the l'rench colonial troops
that landed on the Asiatic shore.
All the stores for the British troops -
had to be ' brought from Egypt; the
immediate base at Lemnos would not
have supported a single ship; 'the {navy
was "father and mother to us;" every
drop of water, every' ounce of food,
every cartridge, 'every splinteretf fire-
wood, had to be brought by theenavy.
,Well, when it was found that the
force wale not large enough to accom-
plish the final purpose of holding the
narrows to allow the navy to get
througle, 'we had to evacuate innnedi-
ately, as on those beaches there is no
'landing for boats during the winter
gales and we could not have existed a
single day without landing of stores.
So the eyacuation was set about, and
a great game of bluff it was. '
Right up to the last day troops were
landed every day, A' thousand say,
would he taken away at night,thee five
hundred would be landed in daylight
It must have looked to the Turkish
airplanes as if we were making aresh
;,
landing; stores were taken awa by
night and the empty boxes piled on
the beach during the day—it idoked
as if we were laying in for the winter.
Of the many clever things invented on
the peninsula one of the cutest was's
device - whereby rifles were actually
being fired in the, front line trenches
after ever tr man had ,.left. The Turks
were absolutely bluffed. When, the
stores left behind were fired 'they
thought their shells had done it, and
completed the work of destruction by_
bombarding them, very heavily, , so
that they got practically no 1oot1
