The pay- | master of each unit will be supplied with the necessary forms, and the men of the unit can fill them out.

New York, Oct. 29.--First Lieuten- ant Coningsby Dawson of the Can- adian Field Artillery, author of "Out to Win," "Glory of the Trenches," and "Carry On," arrived last night at the home of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Dawson, 1,028 Broad street, Newark, just missing his brother, Lieut. Reginald Dawson of the Brit- ish navy, by a few hours. Lieut. Dawson has come to recov- er from a wound he suffered on September 2nd at Drocourt, where the Hindenburg line was first broken by the British. "People say 'Stop the war and save longer in the trenches," he said. "The soldfers do' not want it. They would sooner go on fighting if they knew that they were to die within a month than have an inconclusive peace and one that did not first of all inflict on the Germans some of the suffering they have inflicted upon the civilized world. They army will not feel that it has begun to win until we get on German soil. War is just be- ginning for us. To Keep Hun Hustling. "The men at the front want to keep the Hun hustling until he We inte 'and 'we are position to give him an example on miniature scale in his own country of what he has done to France and Belgium, which is the only thing the Hun can understand. If we make peace, with Germany intact, he will think that 'frightfulness pays, as he does not believe that he has been in- human, from a moral standpoint. "If the Governments of the allies do not interfere, if they leave it to the armies to settle the war, we will be in Berlin by August. The Ameri- cas who have Not been through France or Belgiuth, and have not seen the devastatibn of the Huns, cannot realize what the war is. They can conjecture aid sympathize only. The people in England have a bet- iter idea, because they are so much nearer to dhe war zone. The people in France and England are not talk- They are deter- mined to go of, no matter how long it lasts, until the enemy is thor- oughly beaten. What they gre look- ing for is judgment day, dnd after that they will talk of a new heaven and a new earth. Knows Only Brute Force. "That spirit grew up last summer so far as the British are concerned. Until May we talked of the Hun In a pitying and humorous fashion. The whole reason of our success since is that for the first time in the his- tory of the war we began to hate the Hun. "It commenced with their bomb ing the Base Hospital at Etaples and killing the Sisters who were there nursing the wounded men. I saw big men cry like children when they saw what the Huns had done, and they swore great oaths to give them no quarter. The Jun, when he tomes down after being captured, is weak and whines for mercy life a coward, but tater on, after passing the i valty station and seeing that he is treated like our own wounded, he be- comes haughty and finally a bully. Magnanimity shown to the Hun means weakness. The only thing that he understands is brute force. "If we start to be sorry for him just as we have begun to win, the Huns will only despise us. sive you an ater, former Bishop of Big Captures ~ At Piave River (Canadian Press Despatch.)

We, who hava to stay at home, warm and comfortable, tsecure and safe, should feel bound to offer some help towards winning and every true .Canadian citizen, man or woman, can and should lend to the Government so that our men abroad shall be fed, clothed and armed. Quite aside from the impelling force of duty is the attractiveness of the security itself. In.the first place it yields nearly twice the in- terest one receives from a banking account, and as to security, it Is guaranteed by every bank and ar ticle of value in the-country, wae- ther it belongs to an individual, a municipality, a province or to the Dominion Government.
