cgion our boys were armed with
Cliladlan rifles, shooting Canadian
ammunition, and firing Canadian
olillia. having no shells to fire on
Thursday. General Morrison found
on.Frlday sftemoon that a ship-
mpnt had come to one of the sta-
tions eight or nine miles back. He
scat his wagons back and comman-
dmred 8,000 shells, and found that
they were Canadian. Then, on Fri-
day evening and Saturday, Canadian

riliemen, armed with Canadian rifles.
Canadian ammunition, and Canadian
artillery. firing Canadian shrapnel
shells, held back upwards of one
hundred thousand of the best sol-
#ors the world has ever produced.
pre than that, the records show
that 12.000 German dead and 22.000
German wounded fell before our
boys in those four days' fighting, a
record of which we are proud.
The history of the shell industry
in Canada divides itself naturally in-
to three periods. There is first what
[should call the initiatory stage.
Lot me point out-I do not ‘ know
whether the First Minister will re-
member this-but after we had met
at _Valcartier for upwards of a week
studying this matter, working at it
from every viewpoint, and when we
hid Dually arrived at the figure of
$855. the manufacturers of this
country were so nervous, and capi-
tal was so sensitive, that they came
to me and demanded that I give
them a guarantee that they would be
recouped for any loss they might
laatain at this figure. I told them
that my guarantee would not bs
worth the paper it was written on,
bfnt I said that if the Primo Minister
of Canada would give a guarantee,
lie, as Prime Minister, would see
that it was carried out. The Prime
Minister wlll remember that they
waited on him the ncxt day when he

_that in case they found. after mak-
ing this experiment, that they were

his beat endeavours with the British
Government to see that they-were
rocouped whatever their loss might

come down in price to as low as
$1.85, and of course the quantities
are much larger. Ill the United
States the cost of machining the
Russian orders was $2.20, and that
despite the _fact that.-they got an ad-
vance in cash.
With regard to Australia, I may
say that what Australia knows about
shell-making she owcs to oll.r Shell
Committee. Austmlilln officers came
here and spent considerable time
going into the whole business, and
at the time Australia was given or-
ders the Australian oillcers were
lll-ro and the prices were arranged
llcrc. lt was considered to be a fair
and reasonable price for Australia
considering everything. At that time
ollr price was $3.80. In Australia it
was $5, because .facilities tllcro were
not what they were here.
l\lr. PUGSLEY: Did tho price of
$3.80 include the blllets?
Sir SAM HUGHES: I said machin-

Mr. PUGSLEY: What would bo

Sir SAM HUGHES: Not if you

lilr. PUGSLEY: The blllets were
included in the Slippald in Australia.
Sir SAM HUGHES: My informs-

who came from Australia, and it was
to the effect that they were not ln-

PHQIC
hrough this greatest of conflicts with-
e
f llows, but 1 cannot name any cas-
ualtles.
Since leaving Canada there is one
statement which I have continually
heard: How long will the war last?
I think the British Minister of Muni-
tions in his speech at Whitehall on
May 7', 1915, answers it splendidly.
He says: “ Such a. questloll was put
to Abraham Lincoln in another war
full of trials, full of viclssitudes, and
of moments of depression. ills answ-
er was: ‘Wo accepted this war for an
object, a worthy object. and this wnr
will end when it is attained! This
must be the sentiment ol' every true-
Hearted Britisher to-day. Under God I
hope it will never end until that time
comes. What is that object. tllal
supreme object?" Tile freedom of
,duropei "
He also gives al splendid definition
of what is " our duty." Ho says: "l
will tell you what our duty is. it is
this, each of ns in his sphere, you of
the press, men in their dl-pllrtments.
mell in their worllslllllls. those ill
every sphere ol' lifo, must so ac; that
for ll foreign lulld to fight fm: the flag.
it shall not be said then that all tho
heroism has qulttell the shores of this
country." I feel sure that those ellgi--
ble for active service wllo llavc not
yet 'enlisted must ill their llcarts say
imen to tho above. Slllcc they llavo
missed tho splendid opportunity of
enlistlucllt at tllt first of the war-
thcir only partial rectification now is
to enlist ul, oncon I can hardly under-
alld tho reason or position of all
ellglblo mall who hal-lll't enlisted.
The duty is plain, time is so valuable
md the rewards are so great. A Brit-
ish M.P. says: “We are engaged in the
greatest struggle _this country has
ever been prcclpited iuto_ It is llo
fault of ours. We sought peace, wc
asked for peace, we avoided all the
pntlls that led to war, but we sllould
have been dlshonourcd for over if_wo
had slllrlted the conflict when ll camo.
Harrleli luto lt, wo are there to cham-
pion the deepest, the highest and
greatest intorcst cvcr committed to
Great Britain through the war will be
still great. and when tllc war is ovcr
will be ll Greater Britain than ever."
I hear tllo bugle calling so I must
close for this time. Will write again
soon. Trusting you are ill the best of
health. Alfectionatoly, .
