Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 26, 1915, Winnipeg, Manitoba Free a Beer Friday 26, 1915. I boo Logi Hospital German Book of instructions telling How to act against English. You have to assume a military at i have quoted give an idea of the Way in which Germany has planned for the treatment of the English after a successful invasion. Whether those plans will Ever be realized or not Only time can Tell. One thing is sure if they do get there our nation will never forget it. A Manitoban writes from so. 2 can Adian Hospital Boulogne France feb. 5 Tou have undoubtedly heard Ere this that part of our Canadian Contin gent Princess Pat s Light infantry has been under fire. I have seen Sis of the wounded in the Casino Hospital at Boulogne. None of them Are seriously wounded. None of them Are from Manitoba and All of them were pleased to see a Canadian. Not be cause they were being neglected by our Brothers from the motherland not at All but simply because of that inexplicable something which makes you feel More at one with the Man who comes irom your own Jam even though you have never met him be fore than you can possibly be with those of another land no matter How kind they May be. Two of my wounded frien Xis Are snipers selected from the crack shots of the regiment to out snipe the German snipers who have been picking off so Many of our cry flyers and men during the past few months. I gathered from them the information that the engagement was. Not really a serious one but it was enough 10 indicate that when the time comes for action our men will give a Good account of themselves. Never downhearted. Our Hospital has been kept Busy Here All along but so far. We have not had any Canadian patients. On Ian. 27 we had about 100 wounded from the la Basseo fight among them eleven germans. Two things strike me very forcibly the Friendly feeling shown towards the germans by our mommies and the splendid behaviour of our British regulars under All conditions. You will find a German in a room with two or three of our ill from the same in a few clays they will All smoke the pipe of and pass around the cigarettes is if nothing had Ever happened. Never a murmur from our boys no matter Liovvi badly they Are wounded. They arc never downhearted always got a smile and appreciate fully All that is done for them. They Are i had Meg of Thorn. A German Book. I got rather an interesting Little Book from one of the germans and As i have never seen any reference to it in any article an any paper i have read it. Is possible that it May be Worth describing. One thing is sure it is an indication of the German attitude and intention toward England. The Book is prepared by the military authorities and issued to those who i re in that part of the army which is to proceed against England. I gather this from the fact that the Man rom whom i got it was kept at the Kiel canal for two months a Hils a Corporal who has been fighting in Belgium All along had a Book pre pared in the same Way but directed against France. It seems evident that Germany has Long since planned to War into Emgland and prepared even in the smallest detail. The first Page of this Book has a of England. On the second is one of London showing All the important Points marked by Square Black spots. Then follows a Page of English coins with their values then English weights and measures All of course in next is a full description with illustrations of the ranks of officers and. N. C. Of s of our army and at lotion is paid to the Navy. Then comes about two thirds of the Book in German English vocabulary which shows a special adaptation to military use. The most important part of the Book from our standpoint is found in the last 30 pages. This part is pre pared to provide sufficient English for the German conqueror to Deal with the vanquished English. A few of the sentences from the Book itself will give you an idea of the whole thing hotter than any words of mine can do How to act. The quartermaster is supposed to be arranging for a company of soldiers and their officers.

Mine or a torpedo off South Shields. The Deptford was a ship of tons 230 feet Long and 35 feet beam. She was owned by William Cory and son of London having been built at Blyth in 1912.
