It moved to the parapet and monstrously hurled itself over into the trench where it caught the men ,just as they were “standing to.” In a moment they were coughing, graspâ€" ing, strangling, nearly blinded, their faces contorted, their bodies wilting in agony. They were in the deadly grip SALVATION ARMY Early Friday morning, tear as started drifting across the Canafian trenches adding discomfort to an alâ€" ready trying situation. “The Eighth Battalion can hold its own," was the confident report its commanding officer had sent back to headquarters earlieip in the day before the terrible ordeal started. Modestly given, it was gloriously fulfilled, not only by the Eighth, but by the whole contingent of Canadians on that front. The German infantry assaults on the afternoon of that eventual day were twice repulsed. Thwarted in their purpose, the Ger- man forces then restored to the use of a device which up to that time had been thought to be forbidden under the rules of civilized warfare. The epic battle of St. Julien opened with the effect of a thunderbolt out of a»clear sky on a warm sunny spring afternoon. A tornado] of bursting shells crashed on the inadequate Ger- man thrust for the channel ports was entered between the flank of the Canâ€" adian and French Colonial contin- gents. Striking memorial today marks the spot, Surmounting a stately column of granite a steel helmeted' figure gazes across the vista of battle glory. A lonely, silent, constant sentinel he Watches over- that glorious company of stalwarts in their last resting place. Emblematic of courage and constancy the memorial is an expression of gratâ€" itude, of pride and of honor to the gal- lant sons of Canada who there laid down their lives. ' Our Eye Examinatlons are Accurate It is just fourteen years ago this week since that terrible, that glorious battle of St. Julie'n in which through the sheer courage and undying deter- mination of a mere handful of her galâ€" lant sons Canada came into her own among the nations of the world. Undying glory is the reward of the valiant men who during that epic fight laid down their lives for King, for Country and Humanity. Against vastly superior numbers and terrific odds on which was piled the stark terror of that first awful gas attack the 2nd Canadian Brigade, the 5th and 8th Battalions, held the line, and saved the channel ports.

Manageress FITTED GLASSES 11a.m p. m I There was a splendid turn out to the [meeting of the Home and School [As- sociation in the Newtonbrook Public School on Thursday evening, April 18. 'Mrs. Nuttall, the President, occupied the chair. The programme of the evening was given by the pupils of the ‘Earl Haig High School. Songs and readings. a short play, folk dancing, club swinging and wand drills made up a colorful entertainment, not to mention the school calls 'and yells that [filled the interstices of the numbers. ’All the scholars acquitted themselves {with honor. A hearty vote of thanks ,to Principal Purdy and his clever pup- Iils was presented by Mr. G. R. Gould- !ing. This was seconded by Mr. R0- -bert S. Moore and enthusiastically en- !dorsed by the Newtonbrook people. Refreshments were served and a plea- sant social hour was enjoyed. Mr. Johnson, the popular teacher of lthe Men’s Bible Class of Thornhill, [was the principal speaker at the New- But it was on Saturday when the greatest losses came. The retaking of the lost guns of the Second pond- on Division in the woods of St. Julien ‘is one of the outstanding feats of reckless daring of military history. Wi‘h all odds against them the .Secnnd Brigade, commanded by Genâ€" feral Turner, under a terrific barrage from the enemy, charged over the shellâ€"torn ground in the almost im- jpenetrable darkness and retook the iguns. It was here that the Tenth iBattalion under Lt. Col. R.L. Boyle, of Calgary and the Sixteenth under Lt. Col. R.G.E. Lockie earned un- dying fame. I I l tonbrook Young People’s Society on Monday evening. He gave a fine ad- dress upon Citizenship emphasizing the way in which young Canadians can build up their country. Miss Doris Soden, citizenship Vice-Presid- ent, occupied the chair. Before the deadly chlorine fumes reached them the Canadians saw :their comrades in arms, the “Turcos” ho'lding the line on their left, gripp- ed by the terrible agonies of the deadly fumes; throwing down their iarms they began crawling away from lterror of the unseen death. They saw this gap in the line just as the deadly fumes reached them. Mrs. Fettick, of Hillsdale, is visit- ing with Mrs. Joseph Soden, of Green- wood Avenue. Reduced to, one-fifth of its normal of terrific fighting the glorious Sec- ond Brigade had covered themselves with undying glory. The channel ports had been saved. The Canadâ€" ians, despised of the enemy, had proved their mettle. This noble sacrifice later in the day proved to have been made in vain, as with greatly superior, num- bars the enemy counter-attacked and again took the woods, Lt. Col. Boyle being mortally wounded during the fighting. ’~ With the crackle of rapid fire, the Canadians‘welcomed the assualt and rushing into no-man’s-land they met the attack with the Bayonet. Time and again the gallant little band drove the German attack back to its own line and beyond. They simply could not be brushed. off Gravenstafel bridge. But it was the Germans themselves who brought a measure of relief, be- muse as their attack was launched the Canadians sprang to the parapets, and by so doing they lifted themselv- es above the worst of the vapor. of the deadly fumes of chlorine gas, used for the first time against allied troops. ernmen veen fat} and five thousand 3t Garnet wheat are being d from Fort William to be by millers in Great Britain. ts of the reception given samples will be available be- his year’s crop is ripe, gov- »nt officials expect.
