Col Carrick was in Ottawa today conferring with Gen. Hughes and in a Brief talk on conditions at the front As he had seen them he painted a graphic word picture of Tho scenes which have already furnished a set Ting for Canadian heroism and gave an insight into the whole situation in the Western War theatre. Our canadians have undoubtedly opened the eyes of old country peo said col. Carrick and what is More they have inspired in the minds of the French race a keen admiration of their fighting qualities. I have met Many of the French generals and they paid a tribute to the Gallant stand of the Dominion s Khaki Clad representatives whom they consider As possessing even More dash than the British Tommy. Eng land has been wont to rely on the professional Soldier As a stand by in Case of an emergency but the show ing made by the canadians at Langemark has dissipated the idea that Canadian volunteers at least Are not to be relied on to Rise greatly to a great occasion. Canadians saved Day. During the Langemark fighting i was Witt Gen. Alder son himself and of the French there were no reserves behind them when the germans broke through nothing but a Clear Road to Calais but when Tho Teutons exulting Over he Success of their new weapon. sons. Broke through the French lines they met the canadians and there they col. Carrick paid a High tribute to the Fig letting dualities of Currie. He was also Hod Many words the excellence of the col. Jack a Wirht in the thick of the fighting All through and Abib led his men who Are All greatly attached to him. Col. Carrick of raise for medical organization of the first can Adian contingent at the front under of. Carleton tones. Sickness form Erly a cause of by far. The St lest percentage of deaths m Battle had practically been banished from the firing ital the sanitary conditions were immensely improved and so were the facilities for caring for the wounded. This was so in Spile of the fact that this was a War without cease where the wounded must be taken out at Nightfall instead of being collected at the end of a cattle and where ambulances and Stretcher bearers furnished tempting Marksim the enemy. So or to have become thu card for Ordinary rules in regard to those who do the merciful work of War that Many of the medical officers attached to the regiments have re moved the red crosses from then arms believing that they stand better Chance of escaping the enemy s fire in this Way. Gas limited by conditions. Gen. Hughes representative y the germans As a method of War Are is greatly limited by weather con it ions. Gas can be employed successfully by them Only when Moder the East winds Are blowing but when m played is deadly in its effects. Respirators Are practically useless. The British according to col. Car ick Are now preparing to use the As As Well and a number of scientists Are working on the problem. To provide for extensive use of this weapon however takes a Long time. Speaking of the fighting of the French armies col. Carrick was very emphatic in his admiration. No nation taking part in this War was doing similar work and their Artil Ery More particularly was simply marvellous. France said col. Car Rick presented the striking spectacle if a whole nation mobilized for War All from the Soldier on the firing line to the peasant gathering his liar est were doing their part. evidence of this was to be seen the fact that there was no shortage of ammunition with the French. The English generals on the other hand had been admitting for some time past that their Supply was far too limited. Before col. Carrick however the effect of the new Campaign Fot planned the use of asphyxiating Gate o the Call for the last Man and the ast Dollar. Germans Over confident. The germans said col. -.carrick, were still overwhelmingly confident. German prisoners who were captured held but one opinion As to the out come of the War. They considered that it would end about where it is at present and while there were j some who were ready to admit that they would not reach Paris they had no doubt that they would be Able in Progress leadership in munitions which is under Lloyd George s ens land was making itself mos uniquely Felt and shells were coming in in immensely increased quantities but still More men and still More munitions would be needed Beta this War. Which it was becoming More and More apparent every was a War of attrition was ended this applies to Canada As Well As to England. England itself was jus beginning to appreciate what the Terji Flo struggle meant and to was. Will not run again and that he will go to the Senate. Other Federal members feel that their chances have sadly been impaired by the events of the past month or so. While the above matters will de Mand the attention of or. Rogers there Are other reasons for his Hur ried return to Winnipeg. Or. Rogers returned to Ottawa last week in High spirits immediately after his return came the news of the Fuller ton charges preferred before the commission. Calculations Upsel. Sir. Rogers did not believe that there would be any immediate Cal l on the part of the Manitoba govern ment Cor the substantiation of these , and in any Case he did not look for Rotny inquiry into them until ctr the present commission had Lin shed its work the startling Alac Rity with which the government undertook to probe the charges How Ever and the rapidity with which a new commission was formed upset the minister s calculation. His pres ence in Winnipeg in lie face of the necessity of making some Endeavor to substantiate the charges made was imperative in addition the announcement that the present inquiry will be enlarged to include an investigation into the construction of Tho col lege buildings at St. Vital induced or. Rogers to go out and look Tho prospects Over. The minister of Public works is not expected to occupy much of his time administering his department j for tie next month or so.
