These boots were worn by our soldiers on active service both in (his country and lu the training camps in England. They were sub- jected to the most severe usage (hat boots could be subjected to. They travelled over rough roads and smooth. Thoy waded through mud and through slush past all description. They were soaked liy the never-ceasing rains of an abnormally wet English winter. They weie baked on hot stoves, grilled on steam radiators and roasted before open fires. Yet, THEY STOOD THE TEST. Out of the entire 32,217 pairs of leather boots supplied by this company only a single pair wai shown, to be open to criticism when the Government enquiry was made six months later. ^ Experts employed by the Government exam- ined 13C5 pairs and 348 odd boots made by various manufacturers. Among the number were found only seven pairs of boots of Ames Iloldcn McCrcady manufacture, of which live were found to be repairable, one pair unrp|)air- able, and ONE I'AlU HAD A SOLE UNDER GAUGE. The best proof of the durability and sei-vlce- ability of the Ames Holden .McCready boots, however, was afforded by the sworn state- ments of soldiers who had worn these boots constantly from the time thoy were issued in September, 19H. rlRhl through to Maroli, 191.''). They swore that they h;id worn the boots through all the rough experiences at Valcar- tler and on Salisbury Plain and that they had given excellent service throughout. .Ser- geant .Nussey, of Toronto, who had served twelve years in the Urilish Army, appeared be- fore the Committee with a pair of such boots still on his feet and sulunitled them to the committee's inspection. The testimony of these witnesses has since been amply corroborated by numerous reports and letters received from officers and soldiers at the front all testifying to the good wearing qualities of the Ames Holden McCready boots. * • * • When the question was raised concerning the qualiiy of the Canadian Boliiiers' boots, Ames Holden McCready Limited placed them- selves IMMEDIATELY upon record, by writing to the Government, as desirous of having the most thorough investigation of the matter. The appointmcat of a Parliamentary Committee and the olllcial enquiry followed. It occupied sev- eral weeks' time. The Committee stopped at nothing in their efforts to get at all the facts. This Company purchased the best leather and supplies available in Canada and spared no expense in manufacturing the boots. All our Invoices, and shop and manufacturing records wei'c produced before the Parliamentary Com- mittee for their inspection and information. We had nothing to hide and were proud of the boots which were furnished to the Government. THE A.MES HOLDEN .McCREADY BOOTS CAME OUT OF THE ORDEAL UNSCATHED. The Committee reported to Parliament that the boots supplied by this company substan- tially complied with the sample, that no paper or other fraudulent substances had been em- ployed in their manufacture and that all charges involving the Integrity of this company or of the boots supplied by them had been abundantly disproven by the sworn evidence taken before the Committee. The report, which was adopted by Parlia- ment, was A COMPLETE VINDICATION FOR AMES HOLDEN McCREADY LIMITED. In bringing these facts prominently before the people of the Dominion, Ames Holden iMcCready Limited are actuated by the desire not only to protect their own good name â€" which needs no vindication with the thousands of Canadians who are familiar with this com- pany and its pioducts â€" but also that of a notable and Important Canadian industry, which has been unwarrantably aspersed.

A Marshal's Baton May Be Found the Knapsack of Jacques Goujon A good deal Is heard of brave deeds that win the Iron Cross and the Vic- toria Cross, but the heroism that calls for an award of the Medalllc Militaire by the French Government seldom This token of valor is the highest mark of distinction a French soldier can re- ceive. As In the case of the Victoria Cross, only intrepid souls may aspire to the MedalUe Militaire. The wearer Is among the bravest of the brave, and he finds himself ic a select com- pany. He Is honored with that gener- I ous envy characteristic of the rank . and file of the French army.

W« know only that the Medallle Militaire was bestowed upon him, that be was mentioned In an order of the day by the adjutant of his regiment, and that he was promoted to corporal.
