WHY HILL 145 WAS SELECTED

London, July 22. The magnificent part played in the Great War by the Canadian forces, whose dead are commemo- rated in the Vimy Ridge Memorial which the King will unveil on Sunday is retold in an introduc- tion to the Register of the Memo- rial, published by the "Imperial War Graves Commission.

"The Viny Memorial," it is stated. "Is designed to be the chief witness to Canada's share th the effort and the "sacrifice of the Great War. It is first of all the National Memorial erected in the country where most of the officers and men of the overseas military forces of Canada served and, on a battlefield which the Canadian corps made famous."

There follows a brief history of the part played by Canadians throughout the campaign.

The north part of the Ridge contains its highest point, Hill 145,' and it was here that the only check" took place on the first day.

Counsel submitted that (1) the delay between the knocking on the door and the opening of the door. was utilised by the inmates in shutting off the lights and drawing the curtains, (2) the making of the pills was practically impossible without light, and that the reason for the sitting in the dark was in the hope that the raiding party would not investigate the room, (3) though the second accused had denied ownership it was not the case to prove

The defendants were committed to stand trial at the Criminal Sessions. Ball was allowed at $2,500 each.
