paratory to and Inc:eating the battle
Peeled Aug. 8-2eet. 8, 1918, That
account, design.ed for the purpose of
giving a brier record, is now supple-
mented by bringing it up to date.
Daring the period between Sept, 8
and Sept -26 the time wee spent con•
sidering and debating future p.ans,
whert many impahtant conferences were
held by the officea in high- command.
Tie troops in the line merely heed in
the usual routine waY.
.Th e problein which preeented itseit
Was 'largely an engineering one, name -
sly,' the &easing of means for crossing
the Canal du Nord, ali tee crossings
of.which had been blown away by the
enemy. The way in which this almost
insurmountable difficulty wee met by
ear Canadian engineers, to worked
both, day and night under a iernalee
hear of fire to construct tatiane of
cioseing, has earned for them a name
whech will live forever in the' testory
O f our country.
At twenty minuiee peat fiec on the
morning of Sept. 27 an attack of great
magnitude was launched againet the
enemy, the object being te crest the
cros,shig the Canal du Nerd and cap-
ture the terrnory east of it end lead-
• ing•up to Cainbrai. The attack froret
extended along the canal treat Mar -
quoin south of Bourlon Wood, and the
attack was made -ay tee following
treops: On the reehe or our einme the
Mirth Canadian Division; in the
centre) the First Canadian Division;
• on the left flank of the corps was the
Eleeenth British Division, while on
our right flank was the British Corpe.
The troops advanced under a most
terrific barrage, well planned and
adding to the already great laureis of
the Canadian artillery. At 7,30 aan.
the crossing of the canal had been
effected and the first objectives. taken.
At ILO a.m. the second objectives
,were reached and the villages of Mar -
quoin and Bourloji tak,en, and by noon
were' in complete, possession of- Boar -
lot Wood. The troops of our left
captured Cesy .10 Vorger and Epiney,
while those oi our right carried Gran -
come, Flesquieros, Anneux, Cantaine,
NOyelles and Marcoing.
Tee -capture of Bourion 'Wood waa
the Outstanuing feature, As a Ger-
man °nicer taken there said tothe
writer; "The trees in this wood hare
been nurtured by blood." It was here
IiiN'ovember, 1917, that the great and
bloody battle took place, when our
40 troops were forced back after thee fine
initial,success of the. Third Army, and
the wood is said to have changed
hands five times during three days.
* Strategically it is a mention of gat
importance, as it. kormes the, natural
defence of Cambrai. From this c,om-
mending position one can look into
the city and with glasses distieguish
important buildings.
The fighting continued on Sot. 28,
wad on this day our troops. captured.
,,a line ruurdnee approximately beteeeen
Santourt and Proville. On that day
Corps Headquartera was moved from
Wontoure to a. spot on tbe Buisey
Switch on the famous Queant-DrocOurt
line.
The Third Canadian Division came
into the battle on this dav and were
responsible for the capture of Fontaine
Notre Dame and the Marcoing line, a
strong, system of trenches situated be -
hind the crest east of the Canal du
Nord. Heavy fighting continued for
the next two days, the enemy repeat-
edly trying by counter attacks to
drive us lia,ok from the positions won,
On Oct, 1st the 56th British Divise
ion relieved the 11th British Division,
In this date the attack was again re-
sumed along the whole front at five
am. The troops engaged were the
Third Canadian Division on the right
of our Corps; the Fourth Canadian
Division in the Centre; and the First
Canadian Division on the left. This
attack made excellent progress in the
early stages and at eight o'clock
Morenchies Wood, Cnvillers, BantingY,
Belcourt and Abancourt had all been
captured. The enemy, however, coun-
ter attacked heavily through the
Batigny velley and forced us 'to give
ground. • The fighting here was as
hard as anything our troops has
exiserienced, the enemy apparently
having -made up his mind to hold Cere-
bral at all costs. On the eastern out-
skirts of Blecourt particularly etiff
resistance was met and it was here
that many a gallant Canadian met his
death.
On the evening of October let, the
Fourth C,anadian Division was re-
lieyed by the .Second Canadian Divis-
ion. On October end, in expectation
of a heavy counter attack by the en-
emy, a, most severe counter prepara-
tion wee put on, and through the at-
tack was not forthcoming, it neverthe-
less had the effect of leading the
enemy to believe that we were con-
templating a further attack, and con-
• sequently he began. to withdraw.
The period between now and Oc-
tober 9th was given ,up to the com-
pletion of plans for the crossing of the
Canal de L'Escaut and the capture of
Cambral. On October Illi the First
Canadian Division went to the XXIInd
British Corps and was relieved by the
Second Canadian Division,
On October 9th another great attack
wee lauhched at half half past one in
the morning under the cover of dark-
ness. The attack completely, sur-
prised and demoralized the enemy.
At three o'clock the bridgehead over
the canal had been Secured be the
Third Canallian Division and the town
of Ramilles captured by the Second
Canadian Division, both divisions hav-
ing patrols in Cambrai, and at eight
kthet morning the historic city
Was ccmpletely in our hands.
Our troops pushed on and by five
that afternoon had captured Esrcu-
doevres and Esivars, while the British
troops on the north had captured Ble-
court, Bantigy, Cuvillers and Aban-
'court.•' Oh October 10th the battle
continaed and the villages taf Nayes,
Thun Leveque, Thun St. Martin, Rine,
Paillencourt, Estrun and HemiengIet
were captured in raid succession rind
night the general line held was
east o! the above villages.
On October letb. the First Canadian
Division, which had previdusly brokee
through what remained of the Queent-
Drocourt line north of the canal, oc-
cupied the villages of Arlex, Estress,
Gouy and Corbenhain, the enemy hav-
ing evacuated them. The Second Can-
adian 'Division eleo attacked and after
stiff fighting captured Nordarri. Au-
bigny-aueBac, and Lieup St. Armand.
From this time on the etemy car-
ried out a withdrawal an.a our troope
expended all their energies on the

On November let the Fourth Can-

by the 22nd Corps, attacked with the
• object of securing the high ground
south of Valenniennes,,. and for teis
purpose the area of the Canadian

of the canal through Maign and
Famars. The attack by the Tenth Can-
adian Brigade was entirely successful
and resulted by 7 a.m. in the capture

hitherto by the enemy had halted our
advance on Valenciennes. In epite of
stiff fighting the attack • continued
with succese until at twenty
minutes past seven. on the following
morning the city of Valenciennes was
captured by the Twelfth- Brigade of

Mis "Memoirs" are like a key to

many ,Germans—espeeially at the top
and near the top—have regarded his
utterly unprincipled doctrines as a
sort of (teepee lf Frederick the Great
said a thing it must be all right.
The Kaiser, one may besure, learnt
this partitular Frederick -the -Great
maxim by heart- long ago: "R.emem
ben once for all, that in the matter
of kingdoms, he 0E:Aches tb.ern that
can, and there es no wrong except in
being forced to give them up,"
All Germany is familiar with these
and many others:
"Would you like to be thought vir-
tuous? Then learn artfully to appear
what you are'not,"
"Have you a mind to pass for a
hero? Then do not be afraid of
crimes."
"By cheating, others we gain the ad-
vantage, for they would cheat us if'
they' could'. So never be ashamed of
melting alliances and abandoning
them tie soon as it is to your interest
to do so." •
Once you start digging down to the
roots of tho Hohenzollern tree you

that borders on insanity, if it doesn't
go over the line. There was the firet

Frederick the Great, nick -mitered Fat

Meanwhile was his predominant
characteristic. He allowed his fam-
ily to food, and gave them only the
roughest of that. It his eons and
daughters didn't like sour bread and
stale cabbage for dinner there was
nothin vise for them. When • the
cook dared to make a trifling addle
tioli to the meat Frederick raved at
him, hit him, and warned hien that he
• would be $hot if he offend again.
e• Then he complained that the quan-
tity of food served up was los than
he hall given out. The cook explain-
ed that there was necessarily some
Waste in cooking, but that ex'euse'Was
not.aecepted. Fat William issued an
order that no cook or kitchen helper
ehould tneder any cireumstancee taste
any dish he was preparing.
It was a joyful day for the family

Macaulay's judgment of at Wil-

most dearly loved to humiliate was his
eldest son, afterward e Frederik the
Great. He hated him, hated him most
bitterly, and made him feel the weight
of hie terrible hatred in small things
as well as great.
Frederick loved music, and dared to
amuse himself by piaeing the flute.
Fat William smashed the flute and
dared him to get another.

,When event thrashing, had for the mo-
ment Jost its eb.arm, he tried to hang
him with a bell rope.,
Then there was young Frederick's
love affair. The girl was quite a
poor girl, daughter of a schoolmaster
at Potsdam; fond of music, delighting
in making reueic with a clarion. So
young Frederick summoned up sour -
age to get another flute, and in tile
evenings, When he could get off, they
played to .sach other, the girl's father
beating time.
Fat William found it out, and the
next evening he was there. He
raved and:sterilised. He had the girl
beaten right through the streets of
Potsdant and then put in prison for
three years.
He shut his son -up in a fortress—
wanted.' to kill him—but the Ministers
represeieted to him that that really
wouldn't do. Anybody else any or-
dinary Prussian, could be despatched,
ef °mese, Without any difficulty if the
King of Prussia wisher' it. But the
king's own son! Web, perhaps" it
would be better, the king agreed, not
to go quite so far as that.
