where thousands of ships were
being loaded and unloaded:The ex-
tent of the harbor was surely a revel-
ation to us—and even at that, vast
improvements are being made, par-
ticularly a wider opening from the
sea, which when completed, will
greatly improve this now wonderful
i, port, which has to such a large ex-
tent been made by dykes,
Returning to the landing place we
were then taken to the beautiful
Antwerp cathedral, which, perhaps
because it was the first for us to see,
appeared the more wonderful in ex-
tent and beauty of architecture. The
cathedral is 35 ft. long, of Gothic
architecture, has seven aisles. The
windows are all of colored glass, de-
picting (as all cathedrals do) inci-
dents in the life of Christ, or of the
people. The walls are covered with
paintings by the old masters, such as
Rubens and Van Dylte, and also mod-
ern artists. These windows and
paintings were all explained to us in
more or less detail, until, in fact,
one's head reeled from the effort
of trying to absorb and retain the
information.
At noon we were entertained to
lunch by the city officials in the
Grand Hotel, and this was our first

for.Malines, particularly with a view
to ,paying our -respects to that grand
old ecclestical figure, so fittingly de-
scribed as the soul of Belgium dur-
ing the ,Great War—Cardinal Mer-
cier,, whose memorable pastoral let
ters''to' his people kept •alive the fire
of patribtisn2' in the hearts of' his
Countrymen. He received 'us in the
grand hall of his palace, shook ;hands
with•eadli`' member of the party, ex-
pressed his
x-pressed:iris appreciation of what the
Canadian soldiers had done during
the war; and afterwards walked •for
half an hour in his beautiful gardens
with :us. He is"$an extremely kind-
ly old fiian, talked freely with us,
and allowed the party to' take any
number of photographs of him.
While in the garden we were treat-
ed to a chime concert by J. Denijn
on thebells in the tower of the ca-
thedral. People who are supposed
to know claim that' there are no
sweeter sounding' bells in . Europe.

hold out of the Seven''forte that sur Cas rizes
rounded Liege=the Fort of Loncin
—and which only fell to the Ger-
mans after it had been surrounded
and attacked from the ; rear. An
unfortunate shell blew up the ar-

the defenders. We were show

of those trying days and the actio

returned to Brussels and . next, da
took the train for Lille, and for tw

the cemeteries included, Ziliebeke,

were at the last named cemetery
able to find the graves of Private E.

were from Usborne, Township. This
cemetery is only four miles from
Viiny,and contains about 1506 'gra-
ves. . •
Great care is being taken by the
various governments to mark the
graves of the boys and monuments
are erected at each cemetery. Of
these we hope to write more fully
later.
Apart from the cemeteries there
are many evidences 'that a great
fight had taken place here. Whole
groves of trees show nothing but
blackened stumps eight or ten or
twenty feet high; trenches and shell
holes, wire entanglements and dug-
outs, pill boxes, etc, are visible all
over the country side. Of all the
