Very hand some and manly in his Canadian uni form, Sergt. Havelock talked with his audience, rather than to them. He ad vised Bismarck fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters and wives and sweethearts and sons anil daught ers of soldiers -over there not to Worry about, their physical condition, lie described the soldier of the allies as well fed, well clothed, well quart ered. "We have plenty to eat plenty of clean clothes fresh underwear. We come out of the trenches dirty, it is true, but there is always a bath and fresh, clean things. Never has a soldier been so cared for and looked after.

You Americans are such optimists. \Vihen Uncle Sam decided io fight Germany, to you people it seemed the war was about over your hoys would go to France and they'd soon teach the Germans a good lesson. The Kaiser must be crazy—of course he'll be whipped—now that our boys are on the job. But the affair has not gone so quickly as you had thought it would. Uncle Sam has been in the war for nearly a year now, and the news that has coine from the front has not been good news. Today you folks realize that the paoposition is a big one. "When a group of business men seek to carry off a scheme, they take the necessary steps to understand one another as well as possible. That simplifies matters. So today it is es sential that the American people should understand the British people —for these two nations are bound to gether tighter than they have ever been before.

Numerous humorous incidents enlivened MacQuarrie's talk. Frequently, after a breathless mom ent, he convulsed his audience with a well-time quip of Tommy wit. And ho left the conviction that come what may, Germany never will win so long as a single Briton remains able to shoulder a gun. He told how Lloyd 'George said, when Rurria "was bled yellow, would rather see Russia out and America in. Together, our country and your country are invinc ible—you know it Germany knows it. That is why the Germans are trying to undermine your confidence in us. Don't believe it—kill the man that tells you Great Ilrilain isn't putting every ounc^ of its energy into this war."
