To some, whose minds and hearts .go deeper, this day brings the remembrance of the great cost of victory. The long, straight fields of Flanders, sown with wooden crosses, remain an emblem of that sepa whose harvest we are reaping. Who can regard the grave of a man who died for his country without experiencing emotions that lie too deep for words ? On such spots one enters into the inner meaning of the sacrifice. of Calvary. "For what greater thing can a man do than to lay "down his life for a friend 7" In front of Westminster Abbey there is a column, erected to the dead heroes of Westminster School. Many a time, as a lad, I have stood in front of that column and read in solemn silence its inscription: " To those Boys educated at Westminster School who died in the Russian and Indian Wars, Anno Domini 1854 to 1858; some in early youth, some full of years and honor, some on the field of battle, some from wounds and sickness, but who all alike gave their lives for their country. y This column is erected by their old school-fellows, at West- minster School, with the hope that it may inspire in their suc- cessors the same courage and self-devotion. On thé reverse side of the column I read the long list of names, from Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, the commander-in-chief, to the young- est cbrnet and middy who had died. From "the school quadrangle came the merry- laughter of Westminster boys at play, and, standing there; there came upon me the first dawning of that sacrifice which soldier make when they lay down their lives for their country. During the lull between the first and second Balkan wars, I was In Egypt. Travelling one day across the desert, I alighted at a station called Tel-el-Kebir. Here Wolseley won his victory over Arabia In 1882. On that January day of 1913 I found a single building, serving as a railroad station, and beside it a cemetery, with its rows of crosses, drawn up in as orderly a fashion as a company on parade. 1 entered the cemetery, and the first name I read was\that of Lachlan MacTavish, of a certain Scottish regiment. The burr of his Highland name sounded like the rush of a mountain tairn in his far-oif Highland home. For the moment I seemed to feel the freshness from the moorlands And the heather, then my eye caught the pathetic little cross that stood amid the shifting desert sands. There, as never before, I realized the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives on a foreign soil ia the service of their flag. J A yet profounder realization of this sacrifice was borne upon me one evening In June, 1915. That night I entered the trenches beyond Givenchy town for the first time. . At twilight I turned in from the La Basse canal, crossed a field to the main street of Givenchy, and proceeded down into the town. The place was completely abandoned, and had been badly ruined by shell- fire. In that twilight hour the streets were full of haunted houses. instinct with ghosts and memories. A solitary dog, leaping across a wrecked bridge that hung by a single trestle, appeared like a zZhoulish creature. . One was oppressed by these haunting shadows ia svhat had once been Givenchy homes, far more than by .he fraguent note of shells passing ver the town. In one quaint house, whose wall had been crushed in, I saw a little cradle. What eloguence of tragedy was thers! In a saddened mood I approached the distillery. In one of the houses opposite a grand plano still remained intact. The 5th Royal Highlanders of Canada were coming out of the trenches that night, The first company was alreafly out, and one of their musicians was playing "To You, Beautiful Lady in Pink," upon the inbarmonious and strident instru- ment. Up and down in the rooms of the adjacent houses the Highlanders were cake-walking, some with their packs still on their backs. The bursting of several shells in a side-street only served to accentuate the comedy of the scene. Whatever happened, this battalion was going out, so the musician pounded the keys in ecstasy, and' the, boys cake- walked with equal glee. Through the shadowy distillery I wended my way with a higher spirit from the contagious merriment of the Highlanders. Beyond the distillery was another open field, and .a farm-yard with the buildings long since razed to the ground. Hardly a stome was left standing in this spot. The ememy's shells had surely reaped good harvest here. Beside the ruined fafm was the witness of a still sadder harvest.

ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE Of Premier Baldwin--Welsh Wizard Out to Save the Country. London, Nov. 10.--In a general Interview here yesterday, David Lloyd George scathingly attack- ed Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's protection policy. "My platform iz free trade, hesitatingly," he declared. : After his short absence in Amer- ica, he returned to deliver a broud- side that rivaled the blasts of his palmiest days. Premier Baldwin's protection pol- icy developed while Lloyd George was away. Baldwin proposes to cut tariffs on certain 'classes of goods imported from outside the British empire, and let those goods from the dominfons in at preferential rates. "'His policy is without a grain of statesmanship." Asked whether he would follow ex-Prime Minister Herbert H. As- quith, his rival in the Liberal party since the two parted company in 1916, the Welsh wizard replied: "lI will follow any one who will save the country. I have never raised personal {isszes. "I am - quite willing to accept Baldwin's challenge on the issue of un- sini Loves a Battle. Lloyd George seemed to have found the sort df battle he has al- ways loved. Fresh from his invigor- ating trip to America, rested hy the complete change from his long war duties and peace efforts, and feel- ing fit after his sea trip, he was in fine fettle for an election fight. He was warmly greeted by former members of his cabinet, Thomas J. MacNamara, and Sir Alfred Mond, as well as the former chief whip of oyd = George's coaliticn party, Charles A. McCurdy. A large crowd of English news- paper correspondents met the Ma- jestic, and Lloyd George was ready for them. The English public was afire with interest to hear his dec- larations. . It came in his flat reply: "My pro- gramme is free trade, unhesitating- wy." When asked whether this -meant he would modify his views to admit some form of imperial preference he answerad: 'The whole issue is whether. we are going to tax food. Certainly the people will not con- sent to that." FLAPPER A MEMBER She Was Caught by the Chi cago Police After Rum= ning Gunfight. ------ Chicago, Nov. 10.--Anna Barron, aged sixteen, West Side bandit queen, who was taken prisoner by the police in a running battle with youthful robbers early yesterday. has named four of her companions who escaped capture, The girl, who is accused of leading the bandit crew while they confmit- ted numerous holdups and automo- bile robberies, was caught by the police six hours after her father had released her from a chain he used to keep her at home nights. Her "hard-boiled" flapper pertness gave way to tears as she disclosed the names of the members of the robber gang. One is known to the police as "Red" O'Brien, brother of "Smiling Jack" Q'Brien. Another fis Herbert Giesler. The police are not ready to give out the other two names. The youths are charged with com- mitting e'even hold-ups in less than two hours. Bullets ripped througia the back of their car as thdy ex- changed many shots with Lieut. Michael Grady and his squad from the detective bureau, who had been searching for them. Anna's father, in their home at $5246 Lime street, unlocked the chain that bound her by the ankle to the " | which the CANADIAN HISTORY UNDER NEW LIGHT § The London Telegraph Com- ments on the Documents to Be Made Public. 10.--"The Life of which Lord Charn- | wood will found on documents present Lord Durham | has handed over to the Canadian | archives, will throw an entirely new | light on a critical period in Can- adian history, states the Daily Tai- egraph editorially.
