We have made a start on the
long hard road to Victory.
Our men are fighting at the
front in France.
Our American industries have
accomplished prodigious results in
building up a war machine to fur
nish munitions and supplies.
But we have only begun.
We must do more and more.
This is not a war of armies but
of nations in which every citizen
must do his part.
Every worker in our industries
is truly fighting in this war. Every
man, woman and child who gives
ed General Smith-Dorrien's office in
the Ballleul city hall and asked him
whether there was any news for
America.

thing on twelve German prisoners who
were brought in this morning," he
said. "Every one of them had a wad
of cotton in his pockets. They said

their mouths and noses.
"It can't be true," said a young!
member of General Smith-Dorrien's,
staff. Such a thing would be too
horrible in twentieth century war
fare."
"No, I don't believe the Germans
would resort to such a thing," said
General Smith-^orrien, who was a!
courtly gentleman of tne old school. I

-We decided, in that office in the city
hall at Ballleul, that beautiful spring
morning that the cotton was only a
trick -"that perhaps the Germans
thought to terrify us with a threat of
gas.
And yet within six hours of that
time, the Germans set out their first
floods of gas north of Ypres, some
eighteen miles away, and stirred the
first Canadians to the greatest fight
of their lives.
The apple tree that stood outside
the office window that April morning,
full abloom, is probably shell-shattered
by this time if not, at least its beauti
ful flowers have been withered by the
very gas which we, three years ago to
day, decided would be too cruel for
human use.
