"_Hullo! Potsdam? Did you thank your dear old God for this new
success?_"

The Royal Highlanders of Montreal, 13th Battalion, and the 48th
Highlanders, 15th Battalion, were more especially affected by the
discharge. The Royal Highlanders, though considerably shaken, remained
immovable on their ground. The 48th Highlanders, who no doubt received a
more poisonous discharge, were for the moment dismayed, and, indeed,
their trench, according to the testimony of very hardened soldiers,
became intolerable.

The Battalion retired from the trench, but for a very short distance and
for a very short time. In a few moments they were again their own men.
They advanced on and reoccupied the trenches which they had momentarily
abandoned....

The sorely tried Battalion (the 13th) held on for a time in dug-outs,
and, under cover of darkness, retired again to a new line being formed
by reinforcements. The rearguard was under Lieut. Greenshields. But
Major McCuaig remained to see that the wounded were removed. It was
then, after having escaped a thousand deaths through the long battle of
the night, that he was shot down and made a prisoner.

_ALL IS QUIET IN BELGIUM_

I asked General von Bissing if there was much need for this military
tribunal (The Feld Gericht). I shall not forget his reply.

"We have a few serious cases," he said. "Occasionally there is a little
sedition but for the most part it is only needle pricks. They are quiet
now. They know why," and, slowly shaking his head, von Bissing, who is
known as the sternest disciplinarian in the entire German Army, smiled.
