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. Scene that a great many_of our men fell in the -war, and that their loss is keenly text, Sir Sarre s terrible Kaccusa. tions are painfully startling until' ore does a little thinking. And the first thought %%'_re the losses in the Canadian gamy out of pfo ortion to, the oases in the other ' ariltes. - Official figurei do not indicate that they were. In fact we have Been the statement that the losses in the Canadian army was• lower, in proportion to the miller o men engaged, than in date Btittah or ' French armies. Mist in spite of the fact that our army was assigned . a num- ber of extremely difficult tasks, beeatiee it was regarded as as exceptionally ef- ficient u.achine Sir Sam endeavored to impress Parliament and the .Country with the fact that there had been slaughter on . an unexamplsd :talc "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 doubts Sir Sam's. good faith. when he remembers that Sir Sam's son, General Garne t Hughes, was.to have commanded the Filth Division had . it gone tolerance as a division. - 7&r-Sani •seems. to have been wounded 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.
