"Hal" (lordon, considcied l>y immy to be amoufs the most proniisini: of the younper writers connected with Toronto newspapers, Is one of the ('anadiana who [ell liKhtliie for lib- erty whose loss may be described as na-tional. That he would in time have been known throufibont th'- breadth of the Dominion if lie had lK>tn spared to carry on his work as a writer, few wlio knew his Kifts doubted. W'hon the war broke our "Hal" Gordon was one of th*- lirst Toronto writers selected to go to Kuelaud as a war lorrespondent, hut he was not content to be a men' on- lookt'r at .sucli a time. He was .i quiet, thoughtful religious man with a deep devotion to duty, and it was typical of him that lie should have enlisted in the ranks for active ser- vice. His ability won him rapid pro- motion, and he was given a commis- sion In the spring of 1915. He was in line for further promotion when he fell tightin.i; on June i;;th, 1916. All that Is mortal of the late !^t. "Ilal" n. (loidon lies buried in Flanders, but his life as embodied in the memories of those who were associated with him still "earries on." The building of the Baraca Club of Toronto was the seem- of a unique gathering recently, when the assembly-room was crowded with the friends of Lieut, (lordon who had eom« to hear the tributes paid to his I memory by those connected with him i In his religious, mililary. .•'cholastic. and journalistic life. The occasion wa.s the opening of two fine bowling alleys, the gift of Mrs. N. F. McCormick, of Chicago, a great admirer of "Hal" Gordon. Mrs. McCormick has always taken a great interest in the work of the club, and when the expressed a de- sire to coDimeniorate by some means the memory of her young friend It was suggested that, if alive, he would have wished to d»' something that would give pleasure to others. So the alleys, a piece of pquipnient of which the Uaraca Club w;ls badly in need, are dedicated to the memory of the young man, who, when he gave his life for his country atr Zille- beke was membership secretiiry and chairman of the executive of the club. "I have no regrets. My only sor- row Is that I am not twenty years younger that I niighi fro myself." were the word.s of i.ieut. Gordon's father, .\Ir. H. U. Gordon. They werfi noble words, adequately cxpre.ssing the sentiments of all the speakers that "Hal" Gordon's life had been an insiiiralion to emulate his ex- ample of quiet, effective .lervice to his fellowmen. The only son of Mr. Harry Cooper. the president of the club, is the youngest of the twelve young men belonging to the dub who have been killed in action. -Mr. Cooper traced the hiptory of the club (rom the lime when Dr. Skinner (loidon, "Hal's" st/'p-molher, bad taken in three tKiys who had been expelled a.i incoriigibV' from the Klizalxth si reel school, ant formed a little club for them. The organization developed through a period of (he occupancy of an empty stable on Teraiilay street, and finally to ihe assumption in 1!)11 of the jiresent cotninodious quarters, costing $19,000. "Vractically ail the boys who Uuk out and concreted our swimming tank." said .\Ir. Cooper, "are now digging trenches in Flanders. Our motto is 'Voung men at work for young mm, all slaiidlng by llie IJible and Ihe Bibb; school.' When the War broke oul there were 90 on the roll, and almost all that number have enlisted â€" elj:hty-live in fact, of v.'lKin twelve have given their livesj." T/Ot 152- L'>'{ I'-'"!

WEST, TOTONTO THE TANK.S. fVonv <'r«*w K.scaped From .Stranded Sliip in Knemy Lines. How the tank.s won a battle north of St. Jullen Is now old history, though the experiences of their crews, some among the most dra.stic in the war, are as yet untold. One of the best of these I hear-1 yesterday within the !;ody oi one of the very tanks that had gone through thf- tiattle. Tho hide of the machine bore many of the marks of battle. It was dinted and many nuts were shav- ed off. but it had been mended on the held and went as well as "ver, as I can testify after traveling back in it from the old German trenches across rough country ami modest bridges. It was a comfortable jour- ney, varied only by one little affair with a pollard willow that caused a momentary retreat, a brief excite- ment produced by a gust of machine- gun tire against a low German air- man, and the upsetting of a young officer by the sudden tightening of a steel rope during an interval spent in salving a sister tank. All the tanks, of course, were not so lucky as this. One lies moribund in front of our latest line of ad- vance, and the story of its crew's • escape is characteristic of the new warfare. Goliath, which will serve for its name, serpentined forward unattended to attack a G'ermao strong place. His approach and the rattVe of his shell sent some of the enemy running, while a few. more daring than the rest, vainly attacked him with bomb and rifle. At this crisis some wound or some accident produced paralysis, and Goliath was reduced to the condition of a mo- tionless fort of steel instead of con- crete, and the crew held their .steel fort till dusk in fighting the rival and bigger defence in concrete. They were marooned in the enemy's territory, but, taking out their Lewis guns and destroying the interior of the machine, they slipped out and started on a pilgrimage home. It was dusk, and directions were hard to keep. The rendezvous in a certain shell-hole was lost by some »f the first scouts sent out to prospect, and .so it came about that many of the crew were soon separ- ated. .\>:'ither force thereabouts has a regular trench line, but the Gei- mans were iu possession, thickly enough scattered round and about in shell-holes. A young officer, scouting alone, found himself suddenly in the midst of one of their little garrisons, but in spite of the surprise he had lime to nip a bomb out of his pocket, re- lease the pin. jerk the bomb into the enemy's midst, and bolt inlo the darkness again. He had now quit-e lost direction, and at dawii u as still well within the enemy's lines. There â- was nothing for it but to lie doggo in a shell-hole till darkness came again. Next night luck was with him. He avoided all Germans, was shot at only once by one of our pa- trols, and after much trouble per- suaded his friends that he was not an enemy. Others had othei- experi- ences, but e-very man of this crew came safely home. Such fortune is rare, though this sort of experience is not uncommon In this in-and-out fighting. Some of the Surreys, for example, who have come through many of the holiest engaj-'ements in the war, and have surpas8<?d themselves lately, had a much less fortunate advenluiie. A sprinkling went straight through to their objective and sent liack a guard with their prisoners. They had sone some way on their journey, when .a hidden fort opened tiro on the guard and the prisoners ran off to the friendly shelter so unexpect'edly opened, and escaped almost without loss. To return to tha salved tank. I came hack from the journey in It through Yppes in order to revisit that city of sacritice. Iniaginatum could not paint a more poignant emblem of ruin. The bleached and shattered ribs of the cathedral and the Cloth Hall shinin.e against a very blue sky have conserved by sc-ue mU racle of individuality the live beauty of old which the artists gave them, and oae rote window in the cathe- dral keeps iniaot its dvlicaie tracery to a.ssert the wickedness of destruc- tion else complete. In one of tke houses holding three of its walls erect a flourishing tire had been lit among the falk-n beams and dusty rafters by some stray shell. It was almost more than o»e could l>elieve that their quick flames had come to life in such a field of skulls and skeletons. A little later a thunden-loud set- tled over th* back of the city while the sun was still bright in the west, and Ypres was invested with the halo of as vivid a rainbow as ever I saw. Can it be that the home tires will ever burn again In this place of ruin. or waa tt»e promise in the heavens that day a vain emblem? â€" Cor. 1/ondoD Daily Mail. Uattle of HatiUitgri.
