GIVENS" TRIP ABROAD KINGSTON EDITOR VISITS THE WESTERN BATTLEFRONT. Various Kingston Men--The General F\ Over There Is That Germany's Collapse Is Daily Growing Nearer, W. G. Givens, publisher of the Standard, who for the past ten weeks has been overseas and at the French and Flanders war fronts, as one of the newspaper guests of the British Government, returned to «the city on Friday afternoon, after, what he de- clares to be a most remarkable trip. 'While abroad the members of the party 'were received by President Poincaire and Premier Clemenceau of France; by King George and the Queen, any by Preniler Lloyd-George; while they met Sir' Douglas Haig, British commander-in~chief, at- his headquarters and were banqueted by a number of leading English states- men, 4 They were at the French and Flan- ders war fronts for two weeks, from Verdun on the one end to Ypres on the other, and they saw the gigantic preparations making for the present big counter-offehsive which is being waged so successfully, They spent several days with the Canadian forces and saw a number of Kingstonians, including Lieut.-Col. Elmer Jones (since killed) and Major Harry Pense, of the 21st Battalion; and on all sides they heard the high- est praise bestowed upon the Cana- dians for their gallantry and dash and daring spirit--"the best fighters on the line," as one man character- ized it. On several occasions they were in the front line trenches and within but a few hundred yards of the Germans, while on the day they visited Ypres that devastated city was being sub- jected to a heavy bombardment which did not add to the comfort or the pleasure of the visitors. Mr. Givens speaks in the highest praise of the wonderful work and sacrifices of the women of Great Brit- ain and France, who to-day are not only tilling the soil but are doing men's work, and of the heaviest kind, in factories and munition plants, handling heavy work in an amazing manner, and having no hesitancy in operating ten-ton cranes and the like. They are at work, too, on the rail- road shops and in the ship yards; and always their work is well done. The Grand Fleet was visited and the latest battleships, battle cruisers and destroyers were , while at the ship, yards on the de other great Ships were seen in the making. The whole spirit of the people is admirable and the voice of the pa- cifist is, says Mr. Givens, as a voice in ---------- "AUSTRIAN AID ARRIVES AT THE FRONT" ~From the New York World A ---------------- Surgical Expert Dead.
