The text Of the official statement fellows* S "Shortly before' dawn today, after heavy artillery preparation, the enemy delivered a strong local attack on a front ovar a mile, south of Houtholst forest. On a greater .-•art of thia front his attack broke -down under the fire of our troops. At one point, however, on the left of our line, where the attack waa pressed with great determination and supported by troops carrying flama-throwers, some of the soldiers holding our advanced positions were compelled to fall back a short distance on a front of about 800 yards. "After severe fighting, later in 1 tha morning a counter-attack was launched j-g'Va-rtohira lipht inf'an- Vy< It met with considerable site- * cell, with the result that the enemy's troops were driven back a dlatanee of SOO yards beyond their formsr front line and have suffered heavy losses.

CUPAR, Scotland, March 8.—There are two keys to tho world war position, said former Premier Asqulth in an address to his constituents here today. These keys are the command of the seas and of the western front. Both he said, stilt remain in tho hands of the allies. "While it Is Impossible to avert our eyes from Russia and the situation there," he said, "these dangers do not give us apprehension. There are two important factors in the situation. First, Russia as an effective military factor has been wiped off the slate. Secondly, there has been the German procedure In the so-colled negotiations between them and the Russians." Peace Terms Humiliating. Referring to the speech of Imperial Chancellor von Hertling, Mr .Asqulth said: "At the very moment he waa making his address, his subordinates were writing terms, not of peace, but of capitulation as harsh and humiliating as could be found ln the annals of history. Districts on the Black sea and In the Caucasus were to be handed been numerous delegations to Ottawj.. back to share with Armenia the hor- Grape growers have asked that native irors* and desolation of Turkish rule, wines" .should be exempted; Brewers Could anyone douiit after tbat the fate have, asked that they Le' permitted to '^C Belgium if Germany'wasi eVer afcle manufacture light ;bser*& 'Requester; to oMct-vte V ttie weetern powers after have been made for an extension of the time limit of April 1 and tho suggestion put forward that some compensation, should be forthcoming for loss of 'stocks on hand. Ih regard to cold storage companies, It wus announced, following the investigations of tho Henderson commission, that excess profits would bq taxed. Dividends not exceeding .7 per cent were .to be free from taxation. Dividends between 7 and 15 per cent would be liable to taxation of one- half of the excess over 7 per cent. Dividends over 15 per cent were to bq liable to taxation to the whole amount over 15 per cent. Thus the highest dividend possible was lo be 11 per cent, i.e., 7 per cent plus one-half, the difference between 1! and 15 per cent. MONTENEGRO WILL ~ NOT MAKE PEACE LONDON, March 8.—Nikola iHaidou- kavltch, Montenegrian minister of war and interior, who is now in London, in u letter to the Dally Chronicle, In the name of his king and government, denies that Montenegro will mako separate peace with the central powers. The letter adds that if Montenegro had contemplated a separate peace she could have obtained it. The Montenegrian minister asserts that an offer of peace reached King Nicholas since he took up his residence In France. He adds: ....-I "The offer was put forward formally by the central powers and was refused *n terms of contempt and indignation. the pattern get at Brest-Litovsk? "It is not by such roads that a, clean peace Is attainable. The so called treaty at Brest-Litovsk was everything that an international compact should not be. The only peace worth having must be a peace, not of rulers of parliaments, but of peoples. "One thing B_en_s to be of paramount Importance in the world's best-Interest and that is that the people with whom in the lung run the issue rests should be brought to understand that so far as the allies are concerned, we have but one governing end, namely to build upon that foundation the fabric of the peace of the future world. **-+**** + + ** + **-*** * JAPAN ASK3 CHINESE * + AID FOR SIBERIAN BLOW * 4 4 * (By Dally News Leased Wire) * * LONDON, March 8.—Japan is * + ready to take vigorous steps in •+ * Siberia but has intimated tlut * + she would welcome the assistauce * * of the Chinese in operations * * which will have for their ob.ee- * + live the safeguarding of allied In- # * terests Iri the Far East.

(By Dally Nows Leased Wire.) LONDON, March 8.—Lord Robert sell,-minister ol blockade, in a st-te- ent today, pointed out tho serious of the Oerman menace in Siberia id urged Japanese Intervention thore. 'We have' Information today," ta'i tfi Robert, "that German prlscnerB i Siberia are being organized and that Prussian general has heen sent to ke charge ot them." Lord Robert said he had reoslve-J isurancea that many Russians would elcome a Japanese expedition to pre- int the Germanization of Siberia. *In tact," ho said, "I cannot oon- ilvo any patriotic Russian who would )t prefer the assistance of a friendly rarer, aiming at the restoration of der, to conquest by a ruthless and 'principled enemy.

"From the outset of our alliance with Japan, she has carried out with great fidelity all her obligations as an ally. Wo always have found her torn- puloualy loyal ln the performance of her obligations. I do not think It Is generally realized how tremendous y serious the German penelratlcn of Russia really Is or what a glgrnllc scheme of world conquest tho Germans now have undertaken. It wculd be in the highest degree foolish, if not criminal, it the entente failed to take overy step possible to frus'.rate this German scheme. - Therefore, I personally believe we would bo well advised TEXAS RANGERS KILL FIVE MEXICAN BANDITS CORPUS CHRIST!, Texas, March 8. ■Five of 30 Mexican bandits who raided the Tome East ranch, south of Hebronville, last night, have been killal by posses headed by Texas Rangers and 13 others of the bandits have been located and will be "accounted for beforo daylight," according to a message received hero late tonight from Hebronville, None of the posse men were Injured. Two of the bandits were killed today, the message said, und three others were shot tonight when Rangers encountered 16 of the .Mexicans 50 miles southwest of Hebronville,' while they were making a dash for the Rio Grande. The Mexicans obtained large quantities of food supplies and a quantity of other loot at tho Tome East ranch. Bonar Law Speaks Confidently of the Prospect! on Western Front— Troops Confident (By Daily News Leaaed Wire.) LONDON, March 8.—In spite of the huge number of gum captured by the Germans In Russia, the allies still have the superiority In artillery, just as they* still have In men, said Andrew Bonar Law, chncellor ot the exchequer, today. "It is obvious." said Mr. Bonar Law, "that the Germans, having captured so many guns, we find that they have a great superiority in guns; but In the power of their artillery they are limited to a great extent by the supply of ammunition, and I believe lt Is needless to fear danger of superiority In guns any more than in men on tl*r' western front. Moreover, our overwhelming air superiority will go tar :o neutralise this situation." In referring to the air service, he momentarily broke down, remembering that his own son had been killed In the flying corps. Tne house cheered in sympathy with the chancellor. Quickly recovering himself, Mr. Bonar Law resumed. He spoke of the splendid organization of the entente allied forces on the western front. He declared that a member cf tlie government who had been with, the troops in France had told film,that while headquarters expected an offensive, when he got lower down the line and talked with brigadiers and battalion commanders who were in dally contact with the enenfy, he found that the men did not believe the Germans would attack and that the British officers were confident of their superiority. Shipbuilding Disappointing "But America is the last factor that ought to be left out of tho air. The United States Ib a nation of a hundred million people and with the largest resources ln the world. Its value depends on the success of our operations at sea, which will enable those resources to be brought to the uae of the allies. Wc have been disappointed with the results of shipbuilding this month. There is nothing more vital in this war than what is being done In two, directions—the building of ships and the destroying of submarines, lt had.been anUc*>_Led by the admlra-Jjr- tl.at' tacit* -ubulu1 isc-ai _*',_■ end of the second quarter of this yeaf new construction that would more than equalize losses. There is a fear that this is nottnow possible so' soon but it Is not doubted that the ships are coming." He said that from the point of staying power ln the war. once the equilibrium was established, every week wouldsee an improvement. Looking at what he' said he believed to be the facts in the situation, he had, no doubt whatever that If the allies held together they would be able to secure the results they set out 'to achieve when the war began. Unless peace and security for the future were obtained und the German people were taught that war did not pay, peace, he. said, would be defeat for the allies. "To me, all this talk about what Von Hertling means is simply rial culous," said Mr. Bonar Law. "We must judge the German Intentions, not by what Is being said, but by what Germany is doing. What is the use of talking about. Von Hertling accepting President Wilson's proposals while at tho same Kme the Germans have taken Courland and are making condition.*; of peace by which Rumania is giving up parts of Rumania. It was said to me by an ally recently that he had been told tlio spirit of England is weaken.' ing but I do not believe it." 11 KILLED, 46 INJURED IN One of Eight Planes Gets Over London HUM b mm ARE MID People Are Dog Out of the- Wreckage--Youth Saves Two Sisters (By Daily News Leaaed Wire.)

THE HAGUE, March a—"Wa have acquired a direct free route{ via Russia to Persia and Afghan- i istan," says a despatch from tha Wolff bureau, the German semiofficial agency, received here today. The announcement of the Wolff bureau, if true, has an importc/.it beaiing on the situation in western Asia und possibly even in India. The peace terms forced on Russia at Brest- Litovsk took away from Russia districts in the Caucasian region, through which it would be possible for the Germanic allies to gain entrance from the Black sea or Turkey into Persia.

It is revealed in reports that the retirement of the Germans from Narva, West of Petrograd, was a result of successful resistance made by Russian, forces at the city of Jamburg, 68 miles southwest ol' the Russian capital. Thia resistance may be only a local in- stanco of file disposition of the Bolsheviki government to fight, but it points to tho fact that the Russians] are still capable of conducting a defense.

Reid (retired), says Gin Pills Succeeded where all other remedies Failed! At Advanced Age, Veteran offers for Service in France. Hamilton, Ont.—Count yourself fortunate if you over have tho opportunity to talk with Mr. W. G. Keid, a votorati of the Fenian Raid, and probably tin ouly man who has served nearly half i century as a commercial traveller iu Canada. Halo anil hearty, and with the smooth, clear conipluxion of a man fifty yean younger, Mr. Reid walks with a firn step, aud plows with enthusiasm as h tells you of the fighting in tho Feniao Raid, of hi. travels in Canada during the Inst 60 years, anil of his desire to servo iu France right now if the an thoritios can ho made to realize that men of "throe _coro years aud ten" may be fit for active work abroad. And yon may bo sure of this. Tf Mr. Reid succeeds in bjing sent to Franco, he will take along with him a liberal supply of Oin Pills', to which he credits his remarkable health. As a matter of fact, it was liecauKe bf his stout reliance on Gin Pills that tho writer sought Mr. Reid in his ollioo in Hamilton, whore he is still a guidiug spirit iu half a dozen enterprises. In answer to tho question how ho came to try Gin Pills, the veteran s&id. 4ll can hardly toll you how long it is since I was firat coucorncd about my Kidneys. Travelling in Canada forty ^oars ago was very different from tho way you came down to Hamilton to-day, With your corridor trains, Pullman and chair cars and fino meal:, served on the trains, "When I started on the road, U often meant behind an old livery stable nag, riding through all weathers and putting op with whatover accommodation could be found. I would often find myself doubled up with pains across the buck. I was seldom free for a dny from the aches, and at night my rest was disturbed as is often the case with those suffering from Kidney trouble. "I worried about my health, and it was made clear to me that if I did not get my.kidneys in better shape Diabetes or Bright 'a Disease would inevitably fallow. "I saw the best doctors of the day, and took their advice and medicines without any real benefit. Following their instructions, I have tried a change of climate—half a dozen changes—but if I got any benefit at all it was because of the rest, and I am not the resting kind. "For years I took my life in my hands going ahead travelling,, both hero ia Canada ami in trips to the Old Country, always tortured by my back and kidneys, with my- legs swelling-and toy' iutwWes growing bad. . * ' "Then one day—it must be fully fifteen years ago—I was sitting in a small hotel in thcssalon, Ont.—out ou the Soo branch—and somebody noticed my distress and asked mc what was the mat- tor. I explained, and this gentleman, Mr, A. C. Garden, ever since then a firm friend of mine, asked mo to try Gin Pills. I said it was uo use, that I had spent hundreds of dollars already for professional advice and for change of climate and so on, and it wasn't likely that Gin Pills* or any'other preparation could avert the tragedy I was headed for. "However, Mr. Garden was so insistent that he had known others as sick as I was who had beon very materially helped, that when he pulled a box of Giu Pills ont of his pdeket and offered mc some. I took a couple then and there. "Now I am not going to toll you I was cured on. lho .spot; I was not. But inside of six hours I had .evidence that I had struck sqmething different. 1 got so much i-dicf that 1 eagerly bought a iios of Gin Pill.) and took th'em according to instructions, noting happy changes for the better all the* time. "By fhe timo I had taken eight boxos I could honestly sny-I was cured. Was I delighted'.' Why, say, I could work with* my old time vim once moro, and sleep right through tho night-without trouble. Furtliprmore, my dread of Diabetep and Blight's Disease wus gone forever. • . . "I kpew.Iliad found in Gin ?i{ls the conqueror of Kidney Disease, and whenever since then, as a man of my yours must expect, there has boen any symptoms of the Kidneys not acting properly, out comes my box of Gin Pills and the trouble never has a chanco to develop. ■Yon can Imagine't felt pretty grateful for tho relief afforded me, and de- lerniiucd to recommend -Gin Pills at every opportunity. And you will believe I havo luul sonic opportunities. During the last ten years, though iu my seven- tics, T havo been 'active ou tho road from Halifax to Varcouver, and I very much doubt that what with my road work, my service in the Fenian Raid of 'GG, nnd my long association with lodge work, whether you could find a dozen men in Canada with more persoual acquaintances than I havo. "Train men especially seem to bo subject to Kidney trouble, and many a conductor has taken my advice regarding Gin Pills, and thanked me for it. When T remember what I endured through Kidney troublo nnd Rheumatism, and the freedom from these which I now enjoy, I feel it not only n duty but"a pleasure to recommend Gin .Pills to my thousands of personal friends through* ottt Canada.3* As we walked down tho road together, the Writer had to stop briskly to keep up with this "young" man, so that it did not seem so strange to hear a veteran of the Foliian Raid talk of the services ho hoped yot to be allowed to render in Franco. Captain Reid (ho is a re* tired senior Captain of tho 13th Royal) has offered his services to tho Government- to assist in taking tho soldier vote in the trenches of Franco and Flanders. Captain Reid's only son is on the firing lino. One nephew haa made the suprem* .acrifice. In giving,, this interview Mr. Heid hopes to carry on tho message ho has spread regarding tho treatment of Rheumatism and Kidney Disease. And just as his now health dated from tha day he was given a sample, so may yours. Gi.i Pills depend for their enorm-. ous sale on lho actual results they obtain. That is why the' manufacturers ara willing at all times to send a Bample box, without charge, to anyone writing for same. Furthermore, tho full treatment may be purchased with equal confidence. Tha prico is no cents a box or G boxes for; ;■-:_,00, sold by all dealers on tho understanding that if you do not derive satisfaction your money will bo returned. Even though you, personally, may. have little faith iu Gin Pills, remember that others who havo been cured were equally doubtful of obtaining results until they actually tried Gin Pills. If you, or any of your friends, hon any of the following indications of kidney or bladder trouble, try Gin Pills:' Backache, Swollen Joints, Stiffness of the Knees, Rheumatism, Fains across the Kidneys or through the Groins, Dizziness on Stooping, Constant Headaches, Urinary Disorders, Stone, Gravel or Inflammation of the Bladder-, Lumbago or Sciatica.

That is the kind of sky out of which something ls likely to fall. Bonar Law seems to doubt whether the Germans will risk an offensive on the western front, in spite of the fact, that Von Hindenburg has announced that ho would expend, a million men ln "breaking through." Lenine predicts that Russia will arise to viotory over Germany, even as Germany after tho peace of Tilsit arose to victory over Napoleon. He has., the queerest Ideas of tho best methods of winning victory that thh world has ever seen. Announcement by the Wolff bureau that Germany has secured a direct route to Persia and Afghanistan via Russia appears a trifle over-optimistic. The direct route Is there, but it is beset by more difficulties than the German military nigh command is likely to risk facing. RAILROADMEN SUPPORT THEIR ' FELLOWS AT THE FRONT The Dally News this morning publishes a brief account of the splendid contributions in recruits which has been' made by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. ; More .than 1000 members of tho organisation have enlisted out of 10,000, si proportion which is the larger on account of the fact that the big majority i of the members are not eligible for military duties. 'Their fellow railroadmen at home 'are supporting them substantially in a financial way. Not only are their dues being paid, but, of more importance still, the war restriction clause in the organization insurance policies has been removed. The result is that in death and total disability claims nearly 1160,000 haa been paid out to relatives of Canadian railroad men who have died or been totally disabled while on active service. This money is all put up by members of the organization, through assessments. Vice-President Murdoch undoubtedly expresses the views of the members of the organization when he says that "for the loss of these members of the brotherhood who have suffered and died up to the close of 1917, the organization takes sorrowing pride in the knowledge that It baa done, is doing, and will continue to do a full measure of its duty to the common cause of Canada and her allies." SOCIALISM AND LABOR. It is largely owing to the great authority of Samuel Gompers, for nearly a generation president of the Ameri* can Federation of Labor, that Socialism has made but little headway in the ranks of this powerful association. There are probably millions of Socialists ln the United States, and no doubt many of them are members of the federation, but the resolute opposition to Socialism by Mr. Gompers has made it Impossible for Maxlaif ideas to become Influential in the great organization over which he presides. Knowledge of this fact has given President Wilson tho necessary moral support to deal sternly with any effort on the part of labor unions to hamper the course of the government, and enabled him to crush swiftly what threatened to be a dangerous strike on the part of a large number of shipbuilders a few days ago. The men had quit .work In a demand for more pay, and several efforts to get them to return having failed, tho president of the United States sent a letter to the president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, In which he demanded that the men return to work immediately, leaving their grievances to be adjusted later on. He told the strike leader that if he persisted in his course he wculd be giving aid and comfort to tho enemy, whatever his conscious purpose might be, and concluded by asking him would he cooperate or obstruct.. The men went back to work because they knew that public sentiment was dead against them and that the president would not hesitate to employ the extraordinary authority with which he is Invested ln timo of war to force them to their Jobs. Tho lesson will not be thrown awny upon other labor unions which through greed, a sense of Injustice, or German prompting, might be Inclined at a critical moment to lay down their tools In disregard jot tbelr supreme duty to their country. There ls no reason to supposo that at heart the trades unionists of the United States aro not as loyal to their government and as determined to. bring about the downfall of Hohenzollernlsm as any other class ln the community. No less can be said of tho trades unionists of the British Isles and Canada, Unfortunately, trades unions in the British Empire have beon permeated to a considerable extent with Socialist doctrine; tho Bolsheviki in many -asei having worked their way into places of leadership, and have felt strong enough to defy the government. That is why Lloyd George has not tbe bold, ness to challenge unpatriotic trades unions in England as President Wilson has challenged them ln the United States.—Toronto Mall and Empire.

All around him tho racket of a violent artillery duel kept the ground trembling. Owing to sheer exhaustion after several days In tlio line (ln a particularly lively sector), ono section at a time had been given permission to r*est for an hour or two- on this day. The other men in No. S section, whose turn it was, wore sitting against the wall of the trench, smoking and occasionally exchanging remarks. But he was asleep. His knees were hunched up to his chin, hla cap wop tilted to the back of his head, showing close-cropped curly hair, and some- bow or other ho had managed to fit his whole body on to the flrestep where it abutted on a traverse. Hit- hands were tightly clasped round his' knees, and at regular intervals he< snored. There was an almost contemptuous note ln his snore. "Soon bo our turn to get on with it again," said Tim. "Who do we relieve, mate?" "No. 2." They sat ln tho mud; thoy were dirty unshaven men, and their .eyes had the feverish brightness thnt goes with long-sustained fatigue and exposure. One man was manipulating the bolt of his rifle and scraping some mud off Its sights; another was reading a tattered provincial newspaper; a third had his.housewife on his knees. and was awkwardly stitching a button on his tunic. Occasionally they would lower their heads and put their hands before their faces, as a shell burst dangerously near. But the man with the curly hair still slept, "Curly's a cool bloke," said Tim. "Just look at him." _"You'ro right; he takes a, .lot o' beating, does old Curly. He don't care no more about shells than If they was just rose leaves betn* chucked at 'lm. I've seen *im pretty nigh burled moro times than I can count. Got a. kind of charmed life, old Curly." There was a violent concussion and a shower of mud and earth pattered en to the tin helmets like a gust of sleet. "-last!" safit tho man who was sewing on the button. The man who was reading the provincial newspaper looked up. "They've got skatln' on Cock Marsh," ho said, and resumed his reading. Tlie platoon sergeant came down the trench. He stopped and spoke to the section commander of No. 3. •'You'll be going on again in halt* an hour." "Yes, sergeant1* "All your men all right?" "Everything correct, sergeant." It started to - rain, at first large drops, and then a downpour. The men tucked fhelr overcoat collars up. 'Just got *cr oiled In time," said thei man who was cleaning his rifle, with grin of satisfaction. And tho man with the curly hair still slept. Presently Tim Jumped up, stretched himself and yawned. I'm for a biscuit," he. said, "anyone care for a feeC with mo?" Yes, I'll take mine underdone, earcong." Tim walked past the sleeping man to a little shelter, with a waterproof Bheet protection. Here there was a tin of biscuits and he started to remove the lid. His hand slipped and tho tin fell* down, landing on the end of a duckboard. At the sound of the clatter the man with the curly hair started, opened his eyes, which smouldered angrily, and gazed round him. He moistened his lips to speak when his eyes fell on the tip. "Which of you?" he shouted. "Which of you done that? Oh, so it's you, you narrer-gutted, slab-sided, bleary-eyed blighter. Can't you look what you're Tloln', waking people up like that?" The Sleepjn' Beauty," said tlie man nearest Tim. "If you knew your "lstory," was the answer, "you'd know she was left to sleep a hundred years, and then it wasn't no bloomin' tin woke *er," "Blinkin' think slipped, Curly," said Tim, apologetically. "Slipped, did lt? Look 'ere, mate. THE DECISION WILL BE REACHED IN THE WEST Ex-Premier Asqulth says nothing but the truth in his declaration that command of the seas and of the situation on the western front, both of which are held by the allies, are the keys to the world war position. Accomplish what lt may ln Russia* or the Balkans, Germany cannot win this war aB long as the British navy remains supreme at sea, or as lone as the allied armies on the west menace Its own territory. It Is from the western front that the allied armies can most speedily, once the German line has heen broken, press on to German ground. And it ls that which Germany fears above all all*. Once British, French, Belgian and American soldiers are able to press into Germany, once the guns bsfin to pound German cities to pieces, the morale of the German civil population, already crumbling, will beam to disintegrate so rapidly that collapse will be only a matter of monthi".

If tile bowels are properly looked after there will be no constipation, Jaundice, sick or bilious .headaches, heartburn, coated tongue, squr stomach, Hooting specks before the eyes, etc. Mllburn's Laxa-Llver Pills will keep your bowels so regulated that In no time the constipation will disappear entirely. Miss Elilma E. Melanson, Halifax, N.S., writes: "1 nin now 20 years of ago and slnco I was 18 I havo been greatly troubled with constipation, so much so that at times I would be in bed 3 or 4 doyo a month.

More than 1000 ot the 10,000 "mem- ■ bera of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen have enlisted in the army or navy of Canada and the United States, according to a letter which has been received fn Nelson from James Murdoch, vice-president of the organization, by Alex Sutherland, a Nelson railroad man, . The letter touches upon the large sums which are being paid out of the organization's benefit fund. Up to date 91 death and 10 total disability Canadian war claims. The letter reads as follows: 'Did someone In parliament or the senate or In clubs or elsewhere, refer sometime disparagingly in pro-war times to International labor organizations? If so, we hope that never again may fault be found with such organizations, except for their real concrete errors and we atta h hereto reason for greater tolerance than may have been • hown by some In the past. "The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen Is an international organization with some 1*80,000 members and t<bout 10,000 of these members at the commencement of the war lived in Canada and claimed allegiance to the Union Jack. Stand by Insurance During War. "The insurance of members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen is, by their conduct with the organization when admitted, Invalidated if they engage in war, but within 30 days after Canada became a participant in the war in August, 1914, President W. G. Lee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen (an American) made good by dispensation the Insurance of all members of the brotherhood in Canada who enlisted for service. "More than 1000 of the brotherhood's 10,000 members in the Dominion of Canada enlisted in the service of their country and the organization has to date paid 91 death und 10 total disability Canadian war claims, amounting to $140,860. "In addition to the above, no member of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen serving in the army or navy of either Canada or the United States Is required to pay any dues to the organization as such dues are paid by .-.pedal assessment on non-soldier members of the organization. "For the loss of these members of tho brotherhood who have suffered and died up to the close of 1917 the organization takes sorrowing pride in the knowledge that it hag done, is doing and will continue to do a full measure of Its duty In the common cause of Canada and her allies."
