CHAPTER X.
Germans Hate and Fear Canadian*.
AltOt'T the tifth or .sixth nl^ht of
the battle the Germans broke
through us ami advanced nearly
a mile into our territory. They held
their gain about fourteen hours, when
we counterattacked and took it all back
again. Of course our advanced report
center retired as the Certnaus advanc
ed, but I was down at the iHTinanent
headquarters nt the time, so I didn't
get any of the excitement of the re
tirement.
When we advanced again our road
lay over ground that bad been in Ger
man hands during the few hours they
held the ground.
A dispatch rider was coming over
this road just us daylight dawned. Two
wounded Germans lay on the side of
the road, and as the rider passed one
of them called to him and asked for a
drink of water. The rider stopped,
turned around and went back, threw
his water bottle to them aud then turn
ed around and started on again. As
the rider turned those two men both
fired on him. and one of the bullets
struck part of bis motorcycle.
At the time this great battle was
raging the bombardment of Ypres con
tinued. and not only Ypres hIoiio, but
all the surrounding villages and the
roads leading from one to the other
also.
I said that at tno Degmiiius «i mis
battle our corps of dispatch riders num
bered thirty-one in all. At tlie end of
the engagement tlircv weeks later there
were only four of us left out of the
original thirty-one who started.
The Germain f ii! •<! to break us, and
so the kaiser kept his word regarding
the city of Ypres. Day after day they
, bombarded the place, .so that now there
is not one single house left standing.
For some reason the Germans eontin
. ued to shell the place from time to time,
t but they can't do any more damage
! than whit they have already done.
, The end of the battle found us with
■ our position still Intact, and I don't
1 think they will ever come any nearei
to break through the Rritish lines,
i After the battle I was, of course, re
lieved of my Job as motorcycle dls
' patch rider auU resumed my duty 88
orderly to headquarters.
t A great deal has been said of the
Canadians. Too much praise cannot
be given them.
The first of the Canadian regiments
to come Into action was the Princess
Patricia's Canadian I.lght Infantry.
[ This regiment was in one of the di
visions hi our army corps, so I saw
i quite a bit of the men from time to
| time. They were a fine body of men
. and were very highly thought of by all
f the English regiments with whom they
| were associated. They were strong
I men and needed strong leaders to keep
| them at their highest point of efflcien
" cy. Such men as Colonel Farquhar
| they adored, and there was nothing he
' could ask them to do that would re
| main undone. It was his custom to
' lead his men into action carrying noth
| ing but a walking stick, and little
I things like this mean a great deal to
S the men of a regiment
)At the time the Canadians were
brought Into action we had some black
! troops on our extreme left. The Ger
mans sent over gas, and these black
| troops were forced to retire. Supports
. were called for, and as ours was the
) nearest headquarters in the vicinity

FOURtEEK
Months
An American Boy'»
Baptism of Fire
By WILLIAM J. ROBINSON
Copyn'iht, Little, Brown & Co.
The most graphic account of the
great war that has yet been written
cornea from the pen of a twenty-two
year-old Boston boy, who has Just re
turned from France, where as dragoon
guardsman, dispatch rider and motor
car driver he served fourteen months
under the British flag. Out of thirty
one motorcycle dispatch riders he was
one of four aurvlvora.
We hucf iuT~spare troops available
right on the spot, so the men of the
headquarters unit—orderlies, messen
gers, etc.—were called upon to go up
aud act as supports until re-enforce
ments could be brought up. We went
up on the (lead run aud found that the
black troops hud retired, so we went
Into the position Just In front of the
Germans. The kaiser's troops had ad
vanced about two miles, but had stop
ped at the last trench of our first line
of defense. There were no more
trenches for four milou,
The troops who hud retired were or
dered Into rest camp when we took
the position over, so we had to go In
and hold until the Canadians came up.
Tlie Germans made no attempt to ad
vance any farther, and we certainly
were In no position to quarrel with
them Just then. We waited there all
night, and just before dawn the Ca
uudlans arrived. They didn't stop for
anything and went right over the top
of us and at the Germans. We acted
as supports for them during this eu
•;agement, and It was a treat to see
the way they went after them.
Trench alter trench they took with
out any letup. The Germans contest

that morning. When the Germans wait
ed long enough for the flighting to come
to close quarters the Canadians were
right there with the cold steel, and
when the Germans kept their distance
those boys showed that they know
which end of a rifle the bullet comes
from.
The Canadians had advanced about
a mile In this war when the Germans
brought up some re-enforcements and j
Immediately, started to gpunterattack. |

They <lr<5ve us deck a rew nnnorcn
yard#, but we made u stand, and after
the edge had worn off the German at
tack we commenced to advance again.
This time there was no denying the
Canadians, and they went right
through until they had retaken all the
ground that had been lost. They also
recovered four guns which the Ger
mans had captured.
As nearly as I can tell, it was at this
time that tba reports began to fly
around that no prisoners were being !
taken. This Is an extremely difficult j
thing to speak of. There is no doubt
that on certain occasions both side.,
have refused to take auy prisoners, but
I would not care to place the responsi
bility of the beginning of the practice
in any one particular ptace.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
Germans hate and fear the Canadians.
A peculiar thing happened soon after
the Canadiuns so distinguished them
selves. A certain English regiment
received orders to take some trenches
at a given time. The officers of this
regiment had the men tlx their bayo
nets and stick them over the parapet
of the trench several minutes before
the attack was to be made. They did
*o and kept clashing their bayonets
one against another and makiug an
awful row generally.
When the whistle blew a young sub
altern was the first man over the para
pet, and he yelled at the top of his
voioe, "Come on, Canadians!"
This got the Germans' goat, and our
fellows took three lines of trenches
without losing a mau. All of which
goes to show that the Germans, while
they may hate the Canadians, fear j
them also.
There was considerable hand to hand j
fighting ou the dead ground between |
the two lines of trenches. A bomb .
landed in our trench and lay there with

It hit a German officer right in the

Df course it spread him all over the
landscape.
Oue of our officers turned to this big
SVelshman and shouted: "Man alive, do
rou know what you've done? Why,
rou deserve the Victoria cross for
hat!" To which the Welshman replied
rather sourly: "Aye, sir, mebbe so.
Anyhow, I'd rather have the Victoria
