3,000 prisoners and almost 200 guns. During the three weeks it has fought On parts of the front over 40 miles apart, and on both battlefields it made record advances. These things are not said in a braggard spirit in order

mon than the gallant French and the splendid British and Auirtralian troops who have fought day by day to the ut- most of their powers to achieve the great victory now assured. Where all have won much honor there need be no singiing out~of any for special praise. But the Canadians are our own lads, and when the story of this battle which has proved the turning point of the war comes to 'be 'written their deeds will nuve n pluce nigh up* on the scroll of honor. `
