CYITAWA, April 24 —(CP)-Ham NWT/fly come reports that some inhabitants are short of food be- cause German soldiers are re- qllisltlonlng all their supplies and Bnshop A. G. Wells Principal Pro- testant Chaplain of the Canadian forces. has a little red book which gives a clue to that situation.

It is a handbook prepared for use of German soldiers who were expected to invade England in the first Great War. It shows how German troops receive detailed in- sfructlons 1n advance on how to make themselves at home in for- eifzn countries.

Ellsllsh words and sentences suitable for making the invaders’ will known to the British people are set forth in the book with a Billie to their pronunciation.

Thus on entering a town or vill- age each German officer and non- commlssioned officer would be able to tell the local authorities: "Take

"Retention of Ypres and the en- circling salient was important to the Allies for three reasons," Col- onel A Fortescue Duguid says in the Official History of the Camd- lan Forces in the Great War 1914- 19. “Politically and scntlnientaly it meant that ilie whole of Bel-

gium had not yet been overrun oy the violators of her neutrality . . .. Strategically it maintained the

potential threat of a drive IOWDPCIS Ijlle and Brussels ivhich, combin- ed with naval operations. might force a German withdrawal f.om the Bel lan coast. Defenslvely it formed 0 northern bulwark of the Allied position in Flanders and booked the German line of ad- vance to the "Channel Ports ..."

It was a terrible initiation into warfare for the Canadian soldiers, casualties amounting to well over, 4.000 in killed, wounded, missing and gassed.

Several ooplo present expres- led their dssatlsfaction at the manner in which the Prohibition Law of the Province was being en- forced. Many felt the blame ioy with the Attorney-General more than with the police officers. The question was asked, "are we here to support the present law as it t; now." illld in reply the view was expressed that there was no fault with the law. but with the manner in which it was being ad- ministered.

After some discussion l. com- mittee was appointed to arrange _ for another meeting, lt being thoutrht best to have a report from the Temperance Federation which‘ is meeting in Charlottetown today, before ta any definite action.
