Every daS, mare field gray imiforms appear on the streets of the city. Two months ago nearly every ablebodied inari was in hie uniform. Then followed a lightn- ing change act, revealing all the pre and pending war styles in clothes for men, mostly shoddy and patched. But as German demobilization continues and it is proposed to send back every voeseript native of the Rhineland, the 'field -grays continue to arrive. Our occupying soldiers at first were 'huffed by the enemy uniform parad- ing itself so boldly, but soon it was explained to them that the German so-called government had no civilian suits to go with the 50 marks due each discharged soldier, so the uni- form had to be issued to them. All mark:, of rank and insignia however, it was pointed out, had been strip- ped from them, and they were going hack to thein daily trades and pro- fessions. But the last remark is a trifle erroneous.

They believed it was sweet and becoming to die for their fatherland and in this spirit many boys went out to die, Many fell at the very beginning of life in the trenches. Their record must be meas- ured by their desire to do and he said, he believed that Dr. Strang was the originator of the idea of erecting a memorial there alid it ought to be a source of gratificettien as he thought it eilias a .grand piece of work. It was hard to decide whether to build a mem- bidet for ornament or utility, for the young lads, something simple andel:tot extravagant Was .best. Dr. Strang, Superintendent of missions, in South- ern Saskatchewan, wes present and was called upon to give the last ad- dress. He declared it was a great pleasure to be there, as No. 1 nes been a famous school for fifty-seven and one-half years, many ottheir teachers had made a great name for them- selves. He gave very interesting re- membrances bringing back school life very vividly to, the old boys and girls, who -were school chums of Dr. Strang. He said he expected to hear of great things being done by mils of No. 1. He compliniented the people for their splendid response to the call for funds to erect the monument.
