_Official Investigation by_ DR. J. S. HALDANE, F.R.S. [Illustration] "_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. SIR MAX AITKEN, _in "Canada in Flanders."_ [Illustration] "_THE ADORATION OF THE MAGI_" [Illustration] _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. _From an interview given by the_ GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF BELGIUM _to_ EDWARD LYALL FOX, _New York Times, April, 1915._ [Illustration] _Germany: "Gott strafe England! or I will do it myself"_ NOTICE!
