Society had arranged to have Lt -Cal.
Sutherland address a mass meeting in
the town hall, and it Was a crowded,
house which greeted him, on Thuro:lay
evening last,
Col. Sutherland in the simplest and
most graphic of language described
his experiences as a member of the
first contingent. Ile introduced him-
self by explaining that the Clinton
boys who went with the feet contin-
gent were members of tits company,
and that he was intimately associat-
ed with Lieut Hodgson, o
who has
since been raised to the rank of cap..
tain. He spoke In the highest terms
of Mr. Hodgson and said his ,achieve -

cr d1t to himself
and, o
he town
o t fr om .which
he came.
In 'simple words he described the
camp at Vaktartier, the journey across
the _Atlantic, the landing :In England
and the months of preparation there,
the wcirk.,it the trenches and the sys-
hin of billeting.` He was, in the' big
battle at Langentarcle, where the Can-
adaina ,von for tlfeirselvea the appro-
val of diose high in authority by
holding trite lino, broken by the panic
of the Algerians, whom he described
as being brave fighters but who were
at this time panic 'stricien by etre
cicctds of 'poisonous gaswhich poured
over them and which they ascribed to
a.tpernatural, must's. And as the sol-
dier, who was present at the time,
described the attack .of .the French
and Canadians, a mere, handful of men
compared with the vast horde of Ger-
mans, one, wondered how anyone. sur-
vived the rifle, shell and machine gun
free, but the French and Canadian
troops held fast and eared the day
Col. Sutherland,. 'whpse detachment
was called up as: re-inforcements and.
to take part in the attack on the
German lines, made no particular
claim for the 'bratery of the Can
dins. They had bat done thele dtityt
as• -soldiers, as they will do again.
when opportunity arises:
Col. Sutherland sustained a wound,
though he did not speak of that, and
was invalided home: 13e has recover

the command of the 71st llattalion,.
which has recently been recruited up
to full, strength, he expects to short-

about for the Allies a successful
