It was a masterpiece in thought and expression and an explanation of the war and why we are in it, a clear 18. • setting forth of the duties of the can-| ners in this war, and an exhorting of ras the man who fails in his duty, such W\ as was never heard before.

He said the allies fear thattngviiitheet-ewwhen the trenches are near the German lines the enemy may impregnate the water supply with poisons. The juice of perfectly sterilized tomatoes is the most acceptable and satisfying drink a soldier can enjoy.
