W. W. Murray, M.C, Canadian Press Staff Writer) Ottawa, Ont, July 20.--Dedicated to the memory of Canada's 60,000 war dead, commemorating also Cana- dian achievements in the countless actions fought on the Western Front, and standing as symbols of the de- votion and the valor that inspired the Canadian Corps, eight memorials now adorn various sectors in France and Belgium. They have been erec- ted under the direction of the Cana- dian Battlefields Memorials Commis- sion at the behest of the Dominion government. Ten years have passed since the work began; not for anoth- er two years, at least, will it be com- pleted, for the most massive and towering of them all--that which will eventually dominate Vimy Ridge --is still in the process of construc- tion. But the remainder are finish- ed; and their story, recorded in an illustrated brochure recently issued by the Commission, is one of the post-war romances. The locale of the memorials shows three in Belgium--St. Julien, Mount Sorrel and Passchendaele, and five in France--Vimy Ridge, Courcelette, Dury, Le Quesnel and Bourlon Wood. St. Julien and Vimy differ from each other ,and'from the rest; the re- maining six are of a kind. But all are on commanding heights and are enclosed within parks of rare beauty. The St. Julien memorial takes the form of a tall shaft out of which grow the head and shoulders of a Canadian soldier. The head is bent, the hands are folded upon a rifle reversed, the figure broods over the vast battlefield. The work of F. Chapman Clemesha, architect of Re- gina, it is a striking object, impres- sive in its simplicity. "One bows the head in humble acceptance," said a writer in the London Evening Stan- dard in commenting on this mem- orial some time ago. "The bravest ornament were out of place. There is a mysterious power in this brood- ing figure, drawing you from the things that were. It does more than command the landscape, it orders the spirit." "It is by far the finest memorial of the late war that I have seen," said another writer in the London Daily Graphic "and the one that will tell future generations most about j the Great War." The design of the St. Julien mem- | orial was, like that for Vimy Ridge, {chosen out of 160 general plans which were submitted to a commit- tee of assessors who adjudicated in the competition held in connection with the whole scheme. Anpther design, that of Walter S. Allward of Toronto, was accepted for Vimy. This is a long, lofty strue- ture about 200 feet square and 125 feet high. The stone, selected only after exhaustive investigation, was transported from the quarries of Jugo-Slavia where in ancient times material was hewn for the monu- ments and buildings of the Emperor Diocletian. The symbolism of the memorial is all-embracing. "At the 'base of the strong impregnable walls of defence," says Mr. Allward's de- scription 'are the Defenders, one group showing the Breaking of the Sword, the other the Sympathy of the Canadians for the helpless. Above these are the mouths of the guns covered with olive and laurels. On the wall stands an heroic figure of Canada brooding over the graves of her valiant dead; below is suggested a grave with a helmet, laurels, ete. Behind her stand two pylons sym- bolizing the two forces -- Canadian and French--while between, at the base of these, is the Spirit of Sacri- fice who, giving all, throws the torch to his Comrade. Looking up they see the figures of Peace, Jus- tice, Truth and Knowledge, etc, for which they fought, chanting the hymen of Peace. Around these fig- j ures are the shields of Britain, Can- ada and France. - On the outside of the pylons is the Cross." The land surrounding the memor- fal is the property of Canada, the gift of France. "The design called imperatively for space," wrote the Paris correspond- ent of The London Times. - "How was the ground for this purpose to be secured? The 'bournes' had been demolished. The red havoc had swept, away proprietorial damarca- tions. The earth had been churned and the landmarks razed. Where were 'the owners? "Then it was that the French government made it 'beau geste. It decided to associate itself fully with those Canadians who sought to com- memorate the courage of their com- patriots in the great struggle for civilization. It took upon itself the entire responsibility and at one swoop surrendered to the Canadian authorities 250 acres of this land which is saturated and ablaze with the Canadian spirit. Thus did Vimy Ridge become in the legal as well as the spiritual sense territory that is Canadian." It was originally: contemplated that all of the memorials should be alike, and Mr. Clemesha's: St. Julién design was greatly favored. "-How- ever, the fear was expressed that, among other things, the erection of so many tall shafts along the battle- front might savor of ostentation. A decision not to repeat this design was therefor made. St. Julien and Vimy Ridge were set aside for spec- ial monumentation, and one standard memorial fixed upon for the remain- der. This consists of blocks of grey Canadian granite, each weighing' ap- proximately 14 tons. They are sur- rounded by low steps, and the blocks bear simple inscriptions in English and French. The' events commemorated are re- t counted succinctly, They tell of Ypres where in April, 1915, the Ist | Canadian Division withstood the pro- jection of poison gas and held the breach against the most resolute at- tacks of the enemy. The Mount Sorrel memorial recalls the bitter fighting at the St. Eloi craters in April, 1916, and the sacrifices at Sanctuary Wood, Maple Copse and Mount Sorrel two months - later, Passchendatele is a reminder of Oc- tober and November, 1917, when the Canadians fought in the swamps and desolation of that region to wrest victory after months of fighting. At Courcelette one's mind turns to the attacks on Rozieres Ridge, at Moquet Farm, the Sugar Refinery and the ill-famed Regina Trench in the late summer and fall of 1916. M7imy Ridge conjures up memories of Thelus, La Folie Farm, the Pimple, of Lens, Arleux, Fresnoy and Avion, of the corons fringing Lievin and Hill 70. The last hundred days, with their protracted and vicious fighting, are punctuated at Le Quesnel, Dury and Bourlon Wood by these mem- orials. They recall Amiens where in two days the Canadian Corps pene- trated fifteen miles, capturing over twenty towns and villages, Arras and the attack on Monchy-le-Preux, the combats east of the Sensee River and the smashing of the Drocourt- Queant Line. The period covers the storming of the Canal du Nord, the relentless combats around Bourlon Wood, at Blecourt, Sancourt and Bantigny, the entry into Cambrai, the pursuit of the beaten enemy, his final stand at Valenciennes and the fall of Mons on Armistice mornmg, Nov. 11, 1918.

HINTS SOUGHT IN CANADIAN PORTS Canadian Ports Included in Survey of Shipping Methods London, July 20--Canada has spent and is still spending large sums of money on the development of some of her chief ports--notably Vancou- ver and Montreal, of which she is justly proud. Not a little interest tHerefore attaches to the visit to Canada of the principal assistant to the general manager of the Port of London Authority, T. R. Toovey, on his return journey to London after an extensive tour of Australia and New Zealand where he has been em- phasizing the peculiar advantages of London as a market and distributing centre. At the same time Mr, Too- vey, who is due to arrive in Van- couver on Aug. 17, has taken the opportunity to study methods and practices at the various ports at which he has called and hopes to complete his survey by visiting some of the chief Canadian ports. Canada's interest in her ports is dictated by the steady growth of her prosperity and indicates that she is fully alive to the importance of ade- quate and' efficient port terminals in international commerce; they are essential links in the chain of en- deavor by which Canada disposes of her produce in the best markets of the World. The first steam vessel ever to cross the Atlantic, the "Royal William," built in Quebec, brought but a small amount of cargo and only a few passengers to London. Today some of the best stéamships in the world ply regularly between the Dominion and London, bringing cargoes of grain, butter, bacon, cheese, timber, fruits of many descriptions, news- print, wood-pulp and many ether commodities to the London market, in 'exchange for machinery, soft goods and a great variety of goods manufactured in the Mother Country. said before, is direct with London and there is scope for a great deal more, For the London market enjoys unique advantages as the great cen- tral market of the world.
