Wednesday each week at Brucelield HE HURON EXPOSITOR TUE HURON EXPOSITOR SEAFORTI-I, Friday, Sept, 19th, 1919.., JULY 19TH HISTORIC DATE WAS 'SELECTED FOR PEACE CELEBRATION. It Was the Anniversary of the Day on Which the Canadians Began to Move . Into the Great Battle, e s Itnowtit as the Last Hundred Days, • . Which Ended In Victory. IT was a. coincidence, but a very fitting coincidence, that July 19 should have been chosen for the official celebration and thanks- giving for the signing or peace. -For just one year previously, on July 19, 1918, in France, began that wonder- ful movement of troops which culmi- nated in the series of battles known now as the .Last -Hundred Days, the 'battles which resulted in the over- whelming of the enemy, his uncon- ditional capitulation 'and finally in the treaty which has been; ac- claimed throughout the British Empire. , e During the war little or nothing was heard of the preparations which preceded any great battle. The sil- ence was necessary. Yet the organiz- €ation of forces and material for any 'great battle throbbed with a greater romance than the actual fighting did. If the organization, the staff work, had been done thoroughly, the battle resolved itself into more or less of a mechanical ,movement. The battle of the Somme, 1,916; of Vimy, and of Paseehendaele, 1917, were preceded by little ,or no attempt at secrecy. The army and army 'group, commanders depended largely on .a prepoliderance of artflery. Gen. Sir Julian Byng was the ~first man to show what silence could accomplish by his sudden onslaught on the Cam- brai front in the autumn of 1917. .It w s by enlarging upon Byng's•tactics Wee Ludendorff rose to power and achieved such triumphs in the spring of 1918. , Thus, a year ago secrecy of move- ment and of all organization became recognized as the chief factor in the prosecution of any major operation., - And it was with the adoption of. this maxim that romance- of the last hun- dred. days was born. it is only pos- • sible to tell 'it from the Canadian Corps' viewpoint, or rather from the actual experience of one battalion of • the Canadian Corps. But -what is common to that battalion was com- mon to all. On May 3, 1918, the Canadian Corps, which had been holding one- fifth of the whole British front in the Lens and. Arras sectors, was moved. into General Headquarters'` Reserve, for the purposes of training for fu- ture offensive operations,-and•for the purpose of eounter-attacking,_ should the enemy have projected the expect= ed attacks at Bethune and Arras. Early in July the corps again took its place in the line on the old corps homestead, Arras..• Then on July 19th, as one bat- talion was preparing to. take over its routine section of the line, - orders were suddenly cancelled, and the battalion ordered to }March to a camp at .A.gne-la-Duisine, about eearc'n kilometres behind .Arras. As far as Canada was concerned, the first, the important phase of the last hundred days had commenced. Two days were spent at this camp, where the men were thoroughly re- fitted, machine guns and rifles over- hauled, and -. all records checked. Each man was given a slip of paper to be pasted in - his paybook. The slip. was headed with bold black type which res,'l, "Keep Your Mouth Shut.", Then followed reasons foil - the necessity of secrecy, and an ap- peal to the, men not to question any order given, or to divulge any in- formation, even to their own name, unless they were absolutely- sure of the identity of the questioner. • Late on the afternoon of the third day, orders were received for the battalion to proceed by I oute march. to a given spot on. the Arras -St. Pol road, where busses would- be in waiting. The destination .of these hitsses was not even known to the i colonel of -the battalion. A: eight o'clock, just as the .-Gothas were humming their way towards the nearby villages, the battalion "em- bussed" and sped along the road to the railway siding at Tinclucis. At two o'elock the next morning the bat- talion entrained, and the company commanders were issued with maps of Haa.zebroucke (Ypres sector).. The surprise of the officers can be imagined, when with the breaking of dawn they discovered themselves speeding past Staples in the direc- tion of Abbeville. At 10 o'clock that ' morning the battalion detrained at a little wayside station in the Depart - merit. of - the Somme, and marched inland about five miles, ' • From that time onward no move- ment was done • during the day. Everything was carried out under cover of darkness. Even then the strictest attention was paid to se- crecy. The men could sing and talk and smoke as Hauch as they wished as they an'arched. along the open countryside, but the moment a :vil- lage was reached, no matter • how ' sniaall, absolute silence had to pre- vail.. Only the tramp, tramp, tramp .of " thousands of steel shod feet on the cobbles broke the stillness of the summer night, as the troops passed t through the sleeping villages. Though the men were free t .1 ghat and sing along the highway, they. were, nevertheless, always alert to the danger of espionage, so iuuch so, that often a company commander seeking word of one of his- platoon commanders was unable to get the information from his own ellen, For to the question "Where is Lieut. Blank?" would come back the an- swer, "Never lieaird of hili,." Or to the question, "Who are you'?" 'the answer, "Mule train or working party" - retorts that never failed to raise a laugh. In the daytime all ranks were closely confined to billets. Only those whose duty forced them to pass along the streets, were pernait- ,.,} . - - - 00#`" ,'.aw.-. . ,�. ••� SIMPLY REFUSE TO BE ,OLD Many Men Considered Beyond Their Prime Enter' the. Lists With Their Youth Renewed. Two thousand years ago Cicero wrote of the occasional old man "whose mind stands out of the reach of the body's decay," and only a few months ago a farmer of seventy-five, whose body as well as his mind was still young, went into an employment office in Philadelphia to obtain a position in a munition factory. There are men who come . back from retirement at an advanced age and make great successes in this or that industry. Doctor Osler spoke of the old l tomen • who cut _ loose from his own compan- ions and by living with young men ex- tended xtended his years to 150. A. successful newspaper editor at the age of sixty- three was asked to head an important department in a great university. At first he thought he was too old, but then he had this idea: is true that I am sixty-three, but there are one million men in this eoun- rtry' today who are only twenty-three. ;1 will join that group and look at every- thing from their viewpoint. "That will be the motto of naylife. from this moment. Victor Hugo said that forty was the old age of youth and fifty the youth of old age. I will make the sixty the age of ad -Venture." These you may say are exceptional cases. But there is nothing _exception- li al about the fact that in many of the great commercial universities today fairly large numbers of men from forty to forty-five are taking courses. In one of the correspondence schools the av- erage age is nearly thirty-five, which, • allowing for the many very young clerks and the like who are enrolled, shows how the older fellows are still learning. It is literally true that age 'Is to a considerable extent a habit of : mind, largely within control of the in- dividual, -Albert W. Atwood in Satur- day Evening Post. L What Germany Escaped. Aerial torpedoes in the form of di- minutive airplanes' were among the American war -waging prospects_ when the signing of the armistice ended the struggle. A powerful weapon of . destruction which could have been used with ter ride effect against . fortifications, cities and opposing armies was in process of experimentation, according to facts which have leaked ,out at -Washington. lite' secret of the invention bas been closely guarded. Even now the authorities are unwilling to make pub- lic the details. Except that they ap- peared toylike, compared with the air- plane, the construction was similar, engines and planes being provided. Unlike airplanes, they necessarily had to bre self-propelling without pilots to guide them. The torpedoes had a range of 60 miles. By means of a wonderful mechan- isth it was claimed to be possible to direct theirtcIourse with great pre- cision. At the exact moment, desired the torpedo would explode, . destroying the miniature, airplane, of course, but causing widespread destruction. The torpedoes were designed to carry 300 pounds of T N T. t a», air • .Keeping Up the White House. President Wilson has been extreme- ly conservative iii allowing expendi- tures for the White House since he has occupied it, and riot a dollar has been expended, particularly since the declaration of War, that could pos- sibly be avoided. Last year, however, the walls in the state parlors were re - papered, but the same design of wall paper was kept in all of the rooms. The handsome patriotic design of the blue field and • stars, which was re- stored in 1903, 'and which has been so popular, still graces the walls of the blue chambers. The rugs were rem placed by new ones, while dainty new curtains of lace were hung under the heavy draperies. All the furniture has been reupholstered in the same pattern. These smell renovations have given to the first floor at the White House a very attractive appearance. "Hospitalized" a New -Word. A. new war word has appeared which, unhappily, we are likely to hear very often in the future. The word is "hospitalized," says the Manchester Guardian. It is applied to soldiers who have been a- long tinu In hos- pital, whose minds have lain fallow and have lost mental fiber. •So far• little has been done in an organized way to rectify this deterioration. It is chiefly among officers where "hospitalization" i5 evident. In many eases young officers who have been seriously wounded and had a long con- valescence have found, when they went back to the army or were inva- lided out and returned to their pro- fession or business. that they were fax from What they were before, their mental energy having Weakened, and they were unable to grasp affairs. ' Shop at Home, Buy Downtown. "The war made a new kind of Christmas buyer," the clerk at one of the uptown stores said the other day.
