campaign.
In
Introducing
the
speakers
Mr.
Allen
referred
to
the
splendid
showing
that
the
yard
had
made
In
the
Fifth
Victory
Loan
and
expressed
full
confidence
that
the
yard
would
tackle
the
new
loan
with
the
same
enthusiasm,
and
once
again
more
than
reach
Its
objective.
Mr.
Chalmers
covered
the
genera
plan
for
the
campaign.
It
was
hoped
to
have
a
100
per
cent
response
of
employees
and
a
10
per
cent
of
the
payroll.
In
the
past,
with
Increased
objectives
for
each
loan,
the
yard
had
more
than
met
the
challenge.
It
had
required
good
organization,
strong
determination
and
an
effective
canvassing
committee.
All
of
these
had

LONDON,

In
a
quiet
Sussex
field,
a
Canadian
officer
was
lecturing
the
sol
diers
of
his
company
on
the
situation
on
tho
Russian
front.
He
finished,
and
one
of
the
men
spoke
out:
"You
want
to
watch
yourself
sir.
You
used
'actually'
18-times
in
that
lecture.
We
kept
count."
To
the
Canadian
mind,
no
other
word
Is
quite
so
representative
of
the
speech
of
the
Englishman
as
this
same
"actuaUy."
Few
other
cases
could

Illustrate
the
seeming
barriers
Canadians
ln
Britain
have
erected
over
more
than
four
years
against
English
manners
of
speech
and
custom.
Their
existence
as
a
body,
as
virtually
a
colony,
perhaps
gives
strength
to
this
determination.

Among
the
considerable
number
of
things
