V flashes, then faded in the night. ¢ . I) How profound was the peace that lingered fround that spot. ! In [ tront of me I could see the white glare that marked the firing-line, | whence came now and then the rattle of musketry, the popping of ma-| | chine-guns, or the crump .of bursting shells. | Behind me in Givenchy town the artist was still performing on the | grand piano. 'The Pink Lady" was the limit of his repertoire, but the | Trrepressibles still danced on. Between the grim firing-line on the one | hand, and the revelry of the Highlanders on the other, stretched those | | little wooden crosses. In their quiet plot the brave slept well that night, | for they had done their duty. | Their work was finished, and' well might they sleep on, that those comrades whom they left behind would carry on in their stead, | | and that, even as they, thelr comrades behind would be faitliful unto | death. | From our line the rattle of rifles told me that England was busy | {and that our troops up there were keeping the faith. | "I've copped it, mate swat 'em one for me," were the dving words of | knowing | {a game little cockney. | "Go about your duty," was the last speech of the stricken Col. | MacLean, of the 6th Gordons, to those who paused in the fighting to} attend to him. | What all those dead required was that the living should fight on, and thus keep fai ith them. Up and down that bivouac of the dead I seemed to feel't unseen sentry walking. Where they had pitched | ! their silent tents, they, too, had set their silent ket. That night, | | above those shadowy graves, the sentry of the dead paused and listened. | From the line came the sound of fighting. From behind came the voice | of revelry and song. And this was as it should be. Not in repining, but in gladness, must the soldier spend his resting hours. Soon, per- | chance, that Highlander who was pounding out "The Pink Lady," and | all his jolly dancers, would join these in their narrow beds. But there | they were playing their part as true soldiers. * I seemed to hear the sentry of the dead cry out that night: *All's well! All's well!" The brave might sleep their steep in peace, because their comrades behind were doing their duty. | I was in Ypres salient in April, 1915, and back there again in the | spring of 1916. That bloody and awful saliént is a vast graveyard of | Canada's fairest and best. If where an Englishman is buried on a foreign | soil is called "A little bit of England," then we may call Ypres a mighty! bit of Canada. | One morning in August, 1916, our brigade of artillery sald '"'Good- | bye" to "Wipers." With mingled feelings I turned back in my saddle | and gazed long and intently at the tragic place that had cost us so much | of our precious blood. The towers of the Cloth Hall and the cathedral | were In ruins. The high steeple of the Poperinghe church still stood. T| was glad to bid these landmarks all good-bye, but In those fields and | | hills beyond I left my heart with many a fallen comrade. Often since | { my heart has journeyed back" there to those same tragic fields in which | they sleep. But' I know that they are sleeping well, in the repose of | those whose work is noyly done. | I met a certain woman at dinner once, a representative of that | prosperous type of female referred to by the prophet Amos as the "Kine | of Bashan." She waved her hands and deplored the fact that "poor dear | General Pershing had to go to France!" I said to her, "Madam, what are soldiers for ?"* She replied, "Oh, yes, but we may lose them!" I answered: 'Did you lose Stonewall Jackson when he fell gloriously fighting at 'Chancellorsville ? Did you lose any of your brave who have died for their country ?" Corpl. Fisher was a college boy in Canada in the spring of 1914. In the spring of 1915 he was the bastion of the British line at Ypres. | Only a school boy yesterday; but to-day, with the gray waves of Germans rolling toward him, he and his machiné-gun were the rock on which the whole line held or broke. Corpl. Fisher was young in years, but he stuck to his post of duty, and died in the fullness of honor. In-tlme to come school boys of our| great dominion will hear how Corpl. Fisher won the Victoria Cross in his| passing. His career, so short, and yet so bright, will remain ome of | Canada's shining and everlasting possessions. . On this Armistice day, 1923, it is for us the living, to remember | our debt to comrades gone. Because they have fought a good fight, | because they have kept the faith, Canada has become a name in history. | AA At ts AAA AAA AA A New Method Of | BANDITS HELD TOWN Reducing Fat AT BAY FOR HOURS - : | A news [tem from abroad informs us | that the American method of producing Kept Up Heavy Fire While a slim, trim figure is meeting with as- Bank Was Looted, Then Shot Up Town. tonishing success.

Kan., Nov. 10.--Eigat or ten bandits in wild west fashion held this town of 500 inhabitants at bay for two hours early vesterday while they blasted their way through the door of the vault in the Ogden state bank. Guards stationed outside the bank kept up a heavy fire until their | companions gained access to the A! vault and looted it. Then. shouting' derisively, the bandit gang shot up | the town as they walked to their two motor cars on the edge of the city and drove away. Bank officials estimate the loot at approximately $26,000. The bandits got $2,000 and $24,000 in Liberty bonds. No trace of the bandits has been found as yet. Telephone. telegraph aud electric light wires were eut by the bandits before the raid opened. Eight or nine charges of explosives were required before the vault door i finally yielded. Volleys of shots greeted every person that appeared | during the hold-up and every light that appeared near the bank. The final blast sent a chunk of | steel through a clock, stopping it at 4 am. The explosives demolished the side of the bank. Marshal Joe Kemnitz fired several thots from behind a tree across the street from the bank but aside from drawing fire of the guards, accom- plished nothing. Citizens who ven- tured into the streets were driven to their homes by bullets from the bandits' weapons. After the bandits had held the a citizen, drove to Humboldt Cen- 'spread the alarm.
