As regards ammunition, the German attil lery practised an econoniy which was-up- asual with them; on many days they made no effort to keep down the fire of the French guns, although this meant heavier losses for their infantry in the tronches. This showed clearly that their supply of ammunition was obq not all that they could have wished; and the extra expenditure entailed may well have made itself felt in the amount available on all parts of the German front.

Fester said that Canadians no longer used the protioun "they" in referring to the people of the Motherland, but emphasized the pronoun "our" in all references to the war. He dded that when Great Britain and her Allies won this war there would be n power for peace in the world that had bever existed before, and that would go far towards solving universal problems of international relationships.

SWO VALUABLE LESSONS.

Two valuable lessons have erefore been learnt from these operations. The first is that the German front can be pierced. There were moments, both in Champagne and at Neuve Chapelle, when the way was open, when nothing more formidable than the weak resistance of sorely-tried troops faced the attackers and it does not follow, because the hole closed before advantage could be taken of it, that this will be the case every time. The consciousness of the power to get

through has been of the utmost value to the moral of the Allied forces.
