THE BOMBING OF LONDON
A ' recent issue of the New York In-
dependent contains an interesting map
of the city of London, England, showing
by black dots where bombs had fallen
__during the German air _raids.._ A first
glance at the neap makes one think that
the heart must have been pretty well
blown out of the city. But then they
were not all dropped there in the one
day or week. The biembing raids ex-
tended through the four years of the
war, and frequently there were long in-
tervals between raids, during which all
damage could be repaired.
A note beneath the map tells us that
more than ' four hundred bombs were
dropped within the' pity limits during
the raids; there were 522 persons killed
and four times that number wounded.
The damage to property must havebeen
enormous. It is said that one zeppelin
raid resulted' in a Ole °Which did damage
to the amount of one and a half million
pounds --about $7,500,000.
It will be remembered that after each
raid we were told that the damage done
was not great, and of little or no milit-
ary importance. The raids were thus
reported, of course, for military reasons
There was no need of encouraging the
Germans by telling of their success, and
a relation of the facts at the time might
have had a depressing effect upon the
British people.
On the whole the raids appear to
have been fairly successful in reaching
their objective, for though the black
dote are scattered all over the city, there
is a decided concentration in what ap-
pears to be the heart. Several bombs
fell in, the great Wtiblwieh Arsenal, but
the damage done was light.,
HIGH EXPLOSIVES
IN PARLIAMENT
General Sir Sam Hughes appears • to
have carried the methods of the battle-
field into parliament, for on Tuesday of
last week he, figuratively, ex{loded a
bomb in the House of Commons which
fairiy staggered, everybody. Coming
from a- more careful and trusted man,
it woald have staggered the country.
He accused,q the general in command
of the Catiadran army in France of
aving rushed 'the men to needless
slaughter with no other apperent object
than his own (that is the general in cam-'
mand) glorification. He -said that he
had written to Premier Borden on see.
eral occasions directing .his attention to
the "bullhead" methods of the general
and the ntrediess sIaught of the men.
He accgsed the general (who could be
none other than General Currie). of
making • direct attacks upon German
pcaittone without - proper - preparation.
thus gaining speedy, striking but very
costly victories. To prove that he knew
what .he was talking about, and that he
had such knowledge of military affairs
as entitled him to make criticisms. he
said that 111 had offered advice to Gen-
eral Foch regarding the conducting of'
the war and that Foch accepted his ad-
vice with implicit faith, and with good
results. Perhaps Sir Sam want& to get
credit for winning the sear.

In fact we have Been the statement that

fact that our army was assigned . a num-
ber of extremely difficult tasks, beeatiee

"Massacred" is the word be uses. And
he intimates that these "massacres"
were permitted or planned in order to
keep down the number of available
Canadian soldiers so that a Fifth Div-
ision could not be sent to the front.
The suggestion in-ntonstreus.and rid-
iculous, and leek's like the hysterical
utterances of a crazy man.. And ore

to the`gUick—cut to the very heart—by
his removal from the office of Minister
of Militia. That and the fact that his
son was denied the honor i f eel -fleeted
leg a division -at the front appears to
have driven him mad.
'Already a uutnber of biz accusations
have been' proved to be utterly fate
and before those whom he has attacked
will. have done with him, we may ex-
pect to see hien utterly discredited.
AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR
The record of the Canadian soldiersi
throughout the war was an excellent
one and it is most unfortunate that this
should be starred by the riot at Kenrnel
Wales.
It is said that the camp was in a lone
ly spot and the men had become restive
under promises of being sent Lome. soon,
which were a number of times broken.
The fact that only .a small percentage
of the men in Kinmel Camp took part
in the riot and that many of these were,
under the influence of liquor whit:ge they
had stolen, suggests that only the -rough-
er element was involved. It is said too
tfat`the-riiagieadere were mostly fore gn
ere. But, be that as it may, it was a very
bad affair. It seems that five of the sol-
diers .were killed and -it is said quite a
number were injured.
General Colquhuun puts. the number
who got out of hand as low as fifty or
sixty," and states that the disturbance
was greatly exaggerated by the reports
which got into the press That is not
at all unlikely as, newspaper reporters
have proved throughout the war that
ttley are notoriously fond of the sensat-
ional." Gen. Colgalhoun adds: ' One
man raised the red flagin an attenipt tc
introduce Bolshevism, but he`was shot.'
Let us hope that the affair was as small
as the efli-ers would have us believe it
was. j,..
The delay in,sendrng the men house,
or_._rather in not having tjrew sent in
anything like the order in which they
have served; that- is, those who went
over first to be - sent Lome first, appears
to be. due . to the effort to .- send
home ship loads of men whose
homes are in the some part of the count-
ry so that trains loaded with the amen
can go through with as Tittle delay as
possible.- . In carrying out *this plan no
regard could be paid to the length of
time a man bad 'served. The chief
grievence appears to hive been that
men who had been over but a short
time were being sent bonze alread of
those who had left Canada four years
ago. . .
Those in charge of the transportation
saythat it is impossible to hasten the
work of getting the men home because
('f the shortage of shipping, while some
of the men say that the higher-ups are
so busy vw:i_th ..their social duties fiat
they have - no .time to look after the
work they are ekpected,to do.
