Belgrave
The following is a letter of condolence
to Mr. and Mrs. Campbell from the
Patriotic Society:
To Mr. and Mrs. Campbell,-•
The Patriotic Society of Belgrave wish
to express to you their deepest sympathy
in your great sorrow and loss, in the
death of your son, Austin. While he has
done his duty in laying down his life for
his fellowmen and human freedom and
has, we believe by his manner of life and
sacrifice, inherited the unfading crown of
righteousness You too, have entered
into the glorious company of those who
have made the memorable sacrifice of a
beloved son We enclose the following
lines in the hope that they may bring
some ray of comfort and consolation in
your exceeding great sorrow:
I cannot say and I will not say
That he is dead—he is just away;
With a cheery smile and a wave of the
hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us rcam
in
ghow
veryr
fair
It needs must bt, since he lingers there.
And you --O you, who the wildest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return.
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here.
(And loyal still as he gave the blows
Of his warrior strength to his country's
foes.)
" ild and gentle as he was brave
hen the sweetest love of his life he gave
To simple things; where the violets grew
Blue as the eyes they were likened to
The touches of his hands have strayed •
As reverently as his lips have prayed
When the little brown thrush that harshly
chirred
Was dear to him as the mocking bird
And he pitied as much as ainan in pain
A writhing honey bee wet with rain,
Think of him still as the same, I say
He isnot dead—he is just away.
On Monday night of last week the
members of the Patriotic Society met at
the home of Mrs Ernest Geddes and
packed 31 parcels for our boys overseas
Each. parcel contained 2 pr. socks, 1 shirt,
towel, soap, handkerchiefs and pencil.
The Society intend sending Christmas
boxes to. the boys about the middle of
October. Further particu;ara•later

slowly proceeded to -the scene of the

just to let each other know that some
one was at home, but these had only
tended to intensify, if anything, the
extreme quiet. This sudden and hair-
raising row resembled to some extent
a train -load of wash boilers that had
becbme derailed and had leaped over
a rocky precipice. Just as soon as
sufficient breath came to me to make
an utterance, I asked of no one in
particular, "What 111 Sam Hill is
that?" Sergeant James was a yard
or so in advance, and I heard him
mutter just one word, "'Iggins!"
Almost as suddenly as the -storm
had broken it stopped. Fifteen min-
utes or so had elapsed since the dis-
appearance of Higgins, when sudden-
ly a burly figure, in a somewhat
moist and breathless condition herl-
. ed itself into the trench over our
parapet. Sure enough, it was Hig-
gins. Later, he himself filled in the
gaps in the story as follows: After
leaving our parapet, he had selected
a. course that deviated considerably
from that of his predecessors. This
•cou brought him to some wire
1•se g
behind which he could discern the
dim outlines Of a parapet. Never
doubting for an instant that this was
our own parapet, he proceeded to
negotiate the wire. This accomplish-
ed without mishap, he next proceed-
ed to get himself and cargo into the
trench, but just on top of the para-
pet a treacherous foothold preeipat-
ed Higgins, corrugated iron and all
into the trench.
The essence of successful assault
is said to be surprise. As far as 1
know, no more convincing argument
has-been advanced for such a claim
than Higgins' tactics. That worthy,
not altogether sure that everything
was just exactly as it should be
found himself examining some arti-
cles of equipment suspended on the
trench wall. Suddenly the awful
truth dawned on him that he was
in FS'itz's trench, and unarmed at
that. To use his own words, "I did,-
n't 'ave nothin' to defend myself
with, so I thought I'd bettez' 'op it,
and you 'bet I did 'op"it, sir." Get-
ting back into No Man's Land just
when the resultant firing was at its
height, he had been forced to seek
tho sheltering confines of a shell hole,
already occupied by some cold and
dirty water, until the lull gave him
his chance to return.

he had just reached that point in our
journey billetward where "overe"

GEN. FOCH has taken a Parti-
. cularly brilliant part in all
the principal operations since
the outbreak of hostilties,
As is well known, he contributed in
a large degree to the Marne victory.
In Flanders he revealed his charac-
teristic tenacity during the crucial
days of October, 1914, and the suc-
cess of the Somme offensive,. in 1916,
was in great part due to him. et
the end of 1916, Gen. Foch had been
intrusted with several missions both
in France and in Italy. When the
Austro -German troops made the des -
perate rush upon the Italian tines
which resulted in the Isonzo retreat,
Gen. Foch directedd the Anglo-French
troops sent to the aid of the Italians:
Since then he has been at the head
of those troops of manoeuvre which
were to be engaged at the right mo•
meat either offensively or defensive-
ly French front.
Suchonthe, briefly summarized, is .the
career of the man in whom the Allied
troops have placed all their trust, and
very rightly so, if one can judge from
what can be gleaned of his character
in the two remarkable books he wrote
whilst director of the Superior School
of War: "The 'Principles of War,"
and "The Conduct of War: Manoeu-
vres in Battle," Rarely clave any
works been so expressive of their
author. Rarely has the personality
of any writer dominated and pene-
trated to such a degree the ideas set
out and defended. The saying of
Napoleon L, with which he prefaces
the first of his works, admirably
sums tip his conduct of life awl work;
"It is Aot genius that suddenly re-
veals to me what I must say or do
in a circumstance which to others
would be unexpected; it is reflection
and meditation."
"Think!" repeated Foch unceas-
ingly to his pupils, "and yet again
think! You will be asked later to be
the mind of an army; I tell you to-
day, learn to think." And the latter,
obeying the injunctions of their great
master, ita,ye for the most part be,
come officers of extraordinary mili-
tary capacities,
His belief in personal initiative
and thought is shown in these words:
'"The art of commanding does not
consist in thinking and deciding for
one's subordinates," and he further
declares that, "To command has
never meant to 'be mysterious,' but
on the contrary it signifies to 'com-
municate that very thought which
animates the direction;'."
Foch also shows much dexterity
111 the use pf irony, and one can well

to fight" His conception o1.the only
method pf warfare ii summarized in
the ;phoning declaration also glean-
ed from his "Conduct of Wax":
"High as the command may be
placed, its first task should always
s
be to give orders, but its, second task,
• which is quite as Important as the
Arat, simuld be to' insure the execu-
tion battlemust

f s
tibn p
be . conducted on the battlefield."
It would, however, be quite erro-
neous to suppose that Gen. Foch is
Merely preoccupied by purely mili-
tary questions, or that his interests
are limited. All political, diplomatic
or economical problems attract him
greatly, for he is always desirous of
extending his knowledge. He listens
attentively to his interlocutors, often
Denbigh Rebukes Wonsan.
"I note you look on all conscien-
tious objectors as gentle, pure, harm-
less people whose conscientious ob-
jection to doing harm to others de-
serves respect," says Lord Denbigh
in a letter to a woman who wrote
to him saying that she had road with
contempt Lord Denbigh's remarks In
the House .of Lords on conscientious
objectors,
"You evidently know little' about
them," Lord Denbigh continues, "and
do not realize that they are largely
composed of debased cranks who re-
fusti to acknowledge any authority,
and that they are largely manufac-
tured, encouraged and instructed by
certain types of pacifist organiza-
tions consciously and unconsciously
assisting the enemy,
"You, and those like you, who
have always .thought yourselves safe
on this island protected by a fleet,
had better realize that if Germany
continues to be an aggressive mili-
tary power at the close of this war
we shall 'have to take an entirely
new view of war and of the neces-
sity for ensuring our continued ex-
istence as a great nation owing to
the developments of aeroplanes,
submaz s
and a d ton g -ran e
g guns
reaching to Dover. England - is no
longer the .island it was.
"You evidently do not appreciate
German methods of war and what
everyone in khaki is protecting you,
women from. I enclose you some in-
formation on the subject in the last
issue (No. 120) of Realty, an excel-
lent leaflet which is published weekly
and is absolutely reliable.
''If ever 'you should be caught by
invading Germans and they proceed
to treat you as they have treated too
many women in . Belgium, France
and Serbia, 1 hope that when you
shriek for help, es they have done,
you will have available somebody
better than a con::cientious objector,
who, if true to his principles, will
stale: there gibbering and regretting
his inability to save you owing to
his eo:'.scicttee pt'.venting hila from

Opposition t6 Zionism,
Tho ideals of the League of British
Jeer.in regard to the future of
Palestine as distinct from- those of
the Zionists were expounded by Dr.
Israel Abrahams, of Cambridge, at
Wlgutoro Hall, London.
What divided the league from the
Zionists, he said, was that the former
could not assent to the setting up in
Palectine of a state coiuposed exclu-
sively of .lews.'xhey maintained that,
whatever the government, the state
should, be absolutely free from any
racial or religious test. Citizenship
and nationality had nothing, to do
with religion. As to the Jews out-
side, tate league could not assent to
the statement that thoy'•eonati_tuted
a nation. They belonged to many na-
tions, and could neither control, Pal-
estinian politics nor he controlled by
them. The 7ewa of the world were
not united, but divided by national-
ity, and now were actually fighting
each other, The Palestine of the fu=
ture was for the dews who desired
to live there, and for these who wish-
ed to escape from countries where
they had no home.
In a discussion which followed,
some Opposition to the lecturel•'S
point of View was shown, end one
-speaker asserted that the league had
hindered the colonization of Pales-
tine.
