General Bir Arthur Currie did fine work in all actions and we beat the Huns at the Somme and at Vimy Ridge, where the four divisions went ridge in line, on schedule time. When General Byng took over command of the third army General Sir Arthur Currie was made commander of the Canadian forces and we had at our head a great organizer as 'well as a great fighter. In 1918, the corps was 80 improved that there was no such fighting force on the whole western front, The artillery, engineers, medi- cal service and infantry received the highest praise, The last hundred days were days of victories that re- quired real leadership, No hostile [foot ever etepped in Canadian [trenches except as prisoners. Gen- eral Macdonell concluded by reading his last order expressing grateful ac- knowledgement of the splendid work of General Currie, and he said, "'I ask for nothing better than to be known as one' of Currie's fighting generals." (Applause. ) a : General Currie's Address, sf General Currie was greeted by ap- plause when he rose to respond. "It {is with feelings of pride that I take | the opportunity to convey to the peo- |ple of Canada the impressions that |are mine after being so intimately {associated with Canada's sons In that {period of tragedy. Fvents followed {each other so fast that it is dificult {to appreciate even yet the work of {the Canadian unit and I had no |greater confidence in any unit than {In that commanded by my friend Col. {Pense. 1 knew them better after |June, 1917, but I must cordially en- dorse all that the minister has said {of the work of Col.

His health {had not been good and he should {have gone on leave, but he would not I knew him well ad a lawyer in Vancouver, I am glad the colonel {of the 21st stiN keeps up his interest and the officers and N.C.0.'s 'should stiffen the militia by giving it their support, "On occasions like these one tries to think, what was the good of it all? The war brought to each a different Influence and it leaves different im- pressions. It seems to me that in one manner we can find the stuff of char- acter--rvictories and defeats, laugh- ter and tears. Future generations will look back upon these and try to fix in their minds what was in the minds of our people and try to meas- ure it. I think the greatest impres- sion on my mind is the value and reality of service as the basis of citi- zenship and Christianity, You and I have heard people say 'religion is a failure'; but there is nothing more false. War found the triumph of re- ligion divested of the trappings of pre-war days. 'Service,' 'courage,' 'sacrifice,' fidelity to duty,' 'do justly,' 'love,' 'mercy' and 'bear ye one an- other's burdens,' 'quit ye like men,' were exemplified, and constituted the religion of the trenches which is as old as the hills, Thus were guided the daily lives of men and thus were they comforted when they came to the end, "The men of the trenches had no use for frock-coated, melodramatic philosophy. These men who strove and oonquered and daily risked "life for a cause, saw each other as they were, face to face, and knew as they were known, They knew each other as men, from the game country, Can- ada, bound fbgether by the same ob- Jectives and ideals, Nobody cared what denomination a 'chaplain be- lon to. I never knaw Col. Gordon was a Presbyterian, Roman Catho- lcs helped Protestants, and Protest- ants took the last message from Ro- man Catholic meh. They respected each other's religion and since they came back to Canada they have no use, and never will have use, for in- tolerance." Benefits of Discipline, General Currie told of the out- standing characteristics of the sol- diers in war which seemed to be best expressed by Tennyson's assertion, "SeM-reverence, self-knowledge, self- control, lead to sovereign power." Canada's soldier learned to submit and passed self-respect on to his unit. He saw that the credit of his unit de- pended 'upon himeelf and the force of self-respect contributed to its suc- Mrs. Samuel Ward, Millerdale, Sask., writes:--"I feel that I must write to you before another day pass- es I am so happy and so grateful to Burdock 1 hed foar attend me, but they did me was in no pain, but felt Toron- over the | canada today.

"The 21st Battalion," Brig. Gen. A. E. Ross, M.P., pro- posed the toast to'the 21st battalion. | He reviewed the work of the unit in the war and told of his part as head of the medical service. Gen. Currie while busily occupied in directing engagements, never ceased to think of the comfort of the wounded and made provision for their care with the result that got early to the hos- pitals from the bases. Gen. Ross made a strong plea for preparation for war, deelaring that they wero victorious because they fwere pro- rared and deserved victory: J Brig. Gen. W. S. Hughes, the orig- inal commander of the 21st, respond- ed. He told of the commission given him to for the unit. He got the order on Oct. 19th 1914, and on Nov. 1st he had 1,483 men representing the following regiments: Guards, 14th, 15th, 16th, 40th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th, 46th, 47th, 49th, 56th, 67th and 65%b. The officers and N. C.0.s were trained and the unit lett Kingston in May, 1915. He told of the training carried out in England and of heing brigaded into the 2nd division for service in France. On July 19th, 1915, he went to England and took command of a brigade and was succeeded by Col. Jones, who he recommended. The 21st had the best fighting record of any unit in the whole Canadian Corps. He pala high tributes to all of the officers and men who served in the batta- lon. Major the Rev. W. E. Kidd, chap- lain of the 21st, proposed the toast to "Fallen' Comardes" and made a strong appeal .for support of the 21st memorial fund. There were 83v dead.

Corbett in replying pledged the suport of the city coun- cil and he felt ready to offer a suit- able site for the memorial. He ex- pressed regret over Gen. King's re- moval to London. The programme was brought to a close with "God Save the King." The following were seated at the speakers' table: Rev. J. 8. LaFlair, W. F. Nickle, Mrs. W. F. Nickle, J. M.

He was a great and gifted gent of virtues manifold; he never owed a man a cent but always paid the gold; and everywhere that William went he knocked the speed laws cold.

LOSING YOUR VITALITY This Condition Often Follows Acute Diseases. Debility is a loss of vitality not affecting any one part of the body, but the system generally. When de- bility follows acute diseases, convales- cense is siow and one's strength does not return as it should. An attack of grip or influenza often persists for months, The same condition often follows an attack of pneumonia, fever or other acute diseases. Everybody recognizes that the remedy for debil- ity is to bufld up the blood, because the blood goes to "every part of the body and any improvement in its cons dition is quickly 'felt throughout the system. : In the cases of simple anaemia, or debility following acute diseases, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be found beneficial, because they enrich the blood and through the blood strength- en the nerves. This was proved in the home of Mrs. J. A. McNeil, Bass River, N.8., who says: --"My daugh- ter Beatrice was taken down with pneumonia, and following this did not Seem to gain strength. She still con- tinued taking the doctor's medicine, but I could not see that she was gain- ing, and I decided to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before she bad finished a box there was some signs of improvement, and she con- tinued the use of the pills until she was able to go around again the pic- ture of good health. I now always advise mothers with growing girls to give them these pills." "You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box 'or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Wil .llams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
