Gas Attack At Ypres. ls Commemorated
By JOSEPH MacSWEEN . YPRES, Belgium ada and Belgium today com- memorate the 50th anniversary of a heroic stand by Canadian troops against the first major poison-gas attack in history.
Villagers in this Flanders petictier area, devastated in the First World War, still designate cer-' tain fields by such names as) “Mousetrap Farm” and “Can- ada Farm™ in memory of Canadian action against Germans when the latter at- tacked with chlorine gas.
The villagers used those old. terms when pointing out signl-| ficant aspects of the battlefield to visitors in a bitterly-cold rain on anniversary eve.
Leo Cadieux, associate de- fence minister, flew from Can- ada to represent the govern- ment at today’s ceremonies in- this ancient city and at the im- pressive Canadian memorial at nearby St. Julien, scene of the gas attack
