By Canon F, G, Scott, 0.M.G., D.8.0., of Quebec, Senior Chaplain of the First Canadian Division. Near the Canadian Headquarters at Saily there was a large steam laundry which was used as a bath for our men. It was a Godsend to them, for the scarcity of water made | The laundry | the Square where the Jast sheil had a curious | fallen, and there on the corner I saw 'a large house absolutely ¢rushed in. cleanliness difficult. during bath hours was | spectacle. Scores of large cauldrons of steaming water covered the floor. In each sat a man with only his head | and shoulders showing, looking as if | he were being boiled to death. In the {mists of the heated atmosphere and |in the dim light of candles, one was | reminded of Dore"s illustrations of | Dante's Inferno. In one of them he | represents a certain type of sinner as being tormented forever in boil- ling water. "The Lord Will Provide." We had now finished our time in | this part of the line and the Division | wag ordered back for a rest. The Gen | eral was troubled about my transp- | ortation as I had no horse, but I i quoted my favorite text, "The Lord [will provide." It made him quite an- | gry when I quoted the text, and he told me that we were engaged in a | blg war and could not take things is0 easily. When, however, he had | seen me on various occasions picked | up by stray motor cars and lorries | and get to our destination before he | ata, he began to think there was | more in the text than he had imagin- ed. I. was accused of helping Provi- dence unduly by base subterfuges such as standing in the middle of a road and compelling the motor to stop 'until I got in. I considered that my being able to stop the car was really a part of the providing. In fact I found that if one only had courage to stand long enough in the middle of the road without moving, almost any car, were it that of a private or a general, would come to a standstill. It was only a natural thing, when the car had stopped, to go to-tlie occup- ants and say, 'I know the Lord has sent you for the purpose of giving me a lift." It was quite a natural consequence of this for me to be taken in. One day at Estaires I tried to commandeer a fine car standing in the square, but desisted when I was informed by the driver that it was the private property of the Prince of Wales. I am sure that if the Prince hag been there to hear the text he would have driven me anywhere I wanted to go. ' On the present occasion I had not gone far down the road before a car picked me up and took me on my way---an incident. which I narrated to the General afterwards with in- tense satisfaction. CHAPETR 3. The Second Battle of Ypres, April 22nd, 1915. Behind my house at Ypres there was an old-fashioned garden which was attended to very carefully by my landlady. A summer-house gave a fine view of the waters of the Yser Canal, which was there quite wide. It was nice to see again a good-sized body of water, for the litthe streams often dignified by the name of rivers did not satisfy the Camadian ideas as to what rivers should be. A bat- talion was quartered dn a large brick building several stories high on the East side of the canal. There was consequently much stid of life at that point, and from my summer-house on the wall I could talk to the men passing by. My billet was: filled with a lot of heavy furniture which was prized very highly by its owners. Madame told me that she had buried twelve valuable clocks in the garden in case of a German advance. She also told me that her grandfather had seen from the windows the Brit- ish going to the battle of Waterloo. bad both a plano and a harmon- vm, and took great pleasure in play- ing some of the hymns in our Canad- fan hymn book. I was so comfort able that I hoped our residence at Ypres might be of long duration. At night, however, desultory shells fell into the city. We could hear them tipping long with a sound like a trolley on a track, and then there would be a fearful crash. One might when returning from Brigade Head- quarters near Wieltje, I saw a mag- nificent display of fireworks to the South. 1 afterwards heard that it was the night the British attacked Hit 60.

The front wall had crashed down. upon the pavement, and from the debris some men were digging out the body of an officer who had been standing there when the shell fell. His was the first terribly man- gled body that I had ever seen. He was laid face downwards on a stretcher and borne away. At that moment a man came up and told me that one of the officers with whom I had entered the town about half an hour before had been killed and his body had been taken to a British am- bulance in the city. I walked across the Square, and there I saw stretcher-bearers carrying off some civilans who had been hit by splin- ters of the shell. In the hospital were many dead bodies and wound- ed men, for there had been over a hundred casualties in the city that day, We had arrived when once again we heard the ripping sound which had such a sinister meaning. Then followed a terrific explosion. The final and dreadful bombardment of Ypres had begun. At intervals of ten mdnutes the huge seventeen-inch shells fell, sounding the death knell of the beautiful old town. On the next morning, the brother- in-law of the officer who had been killed called on me and asked me to go and see the Town Major and se- cure a piece of ground which might be used for the Canadian cemetery. The Town Major gave us permission to mark off a plot in the new British cemetery. It was in an open field near the jail, known by the name of the Plain d'Amour, and by it was a branch canal.
