It was glorious to see them march by, and to know, perhaps, that thece fitthtlng men, these square-jawed boys of ours who have gone through the fires of war unscnthed, may have fit got their Hist battle and gained the tinai victory.

They were troops of our Kirst Army, commanded by General Sir Henry Home, and were the English divisions who, wkh the Canadians, were the first in their entry of the city to share the honor of the battle of Valenciennes which wag hard fought by the enemy and ourselves. The army commander drove in with his corps and divisional general, among whom was Sir Arthur Currie, commanding the Canadian troops. The Prince of Wales was with Sir Henry Hofne. and took part In the Inspection of the troops. Flowers were showered or.

all these generals great bouquets which they handed to their aides who held them with a touch of emban sssmert in their English way. Nobody hoard a word of the speeches of tribute of the council ROLL OF HONOR land: 17224 ,1. Brindle, Hamilton; At. Robbins, Hamilton. Ont.

Our very gallant men who have gomi so lonp and no far along tho road to victory, which now seems just ahead at the turn of the road that seem a too good to be true, like a mirage wMch eludes men as they walk ti' i still pursuing an enemy In retreat.

They are well on the other side of the Hnmbre, to the past of the I'oreot of Mormal, through tho of Cartigmea and Dompierre, are fighting about Belval, lors of Valenciennes to the glory of the British and Canadian troops who rescued their people from their servitude under the ruthless enemy, and the answer of Sir Henry Home, expressing the pride ef his soldiers In tho rescue pf that fair old city, and their admiration for the courage of Its people. Every word was overwhelmed by cheering. Then the pipers of the Highlanders Division, whose fighting I have helped to record through many years of heroic endurance, played a tune, and the music of those pipers was loud in the square of Valenciennes and will echo in the hearts of Its people, through many centuries of history, ard in old traditioim There was a march past, and a thousand bayonets shone above the si'iel helmets of these men, and they were heroes who went by, and they had the tribute of heroes from those they, had saved.

Gold Bonds sistance. in the north, along our Second Army front, about Tournal the line of the Scheldt Is still held by machine-gunners beyond the canal and floods, but they now are the pivot of the salient, which is sharply increasing every so that It is only a question of time when they must be ours, and then all the enimy line will have to landslide as far as north of Ghent. There, with water in front of them and line of machine-guns well placed, and with a well-hindering rearguard garrison, it makes it difficult for the Belgians to enter that fine old city o'. theirs, where thousands of people awaiting liberation, and even row this could only be done by tragic loss of life. The Belgians would not spare themelves that tragic price of it were worth while but things are happening beyond the Ikies on the Belgian front, as on ours which may make more sacrifices unnecessary.

MUST MEAN END AT LAST. News came to us Inst night over the wires that Germany was to send plenipotentiaries to ask for terms of armistice from Marshal B'och, and those men were coming over under a white flag, knowing through President Wilson what those terms were, and what surrender they would have to make of all their pride. Last night when that news came among British officers in touch with headquarters, they drew a sudden breath and "Then it Is the end. The last buttle has been fought. It is too wonderful to believe." I heard thos words this morning in Valenciennes among generals and staff officers rrathered there in the Place d'Armes.

"It must mean the end of the wnr. Surely it is the end at last. Who would ever have believed it?" And one man, standing near me, said very gravely: "Thank God." And another, who was a younger man, Jaughed with a queer break in his voice, and raised a big bouquet of flowers, given to him by the townspeople, and gave a Itttie dance and said: 1 "Back to peace again, and not too quick for me. Back to life." In Valenciennes, where on the first day of its liberation I walked through empty streets past windows from which no face looked out. with the rush of shells overhead and the tumult of a great gunflro all round, and the rat-a-tat of machine-gun fire In the streets somewhere on my right, there was today a ceremony which seemed to be in celebration of this spirit of peace which like a shining light before the eyes of all our soldiers.

Then men who had saved the city came In with their generals to receive thanks from representatives of the people. Al! told, there are only 5,000 people In Valenciennes, for all the rest of Its inhabitants were forced to leave by the enemy, who. on the very last day, as have written before, summoned the remaining manhood to depart, and would have compelled them to go if we had not stormed tho gates in time to save them. So there wye not vast crowds to see the enemy and review, and most of the streets were stilt empty and many cf the houses deserted, beyond the -uins of the railway station, flung into fantastic wreckage, but in the spacious Place Vl" Amies, in old heh iraMed houe, on each side of the Hotel de Ville. with it" richly carved frontage, above i its wide flight of, steps, many of the' remaining gathered or crowded at windows and balconies, A Favorite Ever Since Stagecoach Days Bearing interest from November 1st, 1918, and offered in two maturities, the choice of which it optional with the subscriber as follows: 5 year Bonds due November 1st, 1923 15 year Bonds due November 1st, 1933 Principal payable without charge at the Office of the Minister of Finance and Receiver General at Ottawa, or at the Office of the Receiver General at Halifax, St.

'HEN stagecoaches were "going out," Corby's Whisky was just coming in" -and it has been "coming strong" ever since. Fifty-nine vears have elaosed since the first barrel of Corby's Whisky was -distilled. Since the moment the first bottle, was placed on the market it became a winner, Corby's Whisky has, from the very first, shown such marked superiority that its fame quickly spread.

It became the choice of the connoisseur in those earlier days, and the connoisseur of today finds no reason to change the verdict. Good judges of whisky then and now have pronounced Corby's Special Selected which bore traces cf recent bombardment and on the roofs of buildings, pierced here and there by shells, TIME OF THANKSGIVING.
