Canada for four years has played a big part in the great war, but the motion picture woncerns shave re- corded but little of Canada's great effort. [n a [Kingston theatre last week, picture after picture was shown of United , States activity, Uncle Sam's troops in training at! home and overseas are lever before the movie camera. That's Ameri- can enterprise and is commendable." Canada has been altogether too modest in showing upon the moving | picture sereen what ite soldiers have done and 'are doing. More than three years ago Canadian troops barred the road at Ypres and saved Calais from: capture by the Germans.

The Canadian Government should have seen -that moving picture machines made such a record for display to Lhe. whole world: Were the heroes of Cource- lette and of Vimy placed in march- Ing order before the motion picture machine so that those of us at home might applaud those gallant men of our blood and country?
