HARRY LAUDER'S STORY.
THIS Story was told by Harry Lauder to the Montreal Canadian Club, as it was told him by his Son, Capt. Lauder, who gave his life for his
Country:
THE Germans had captured Six Men of the Black Watch.
THEY stripped them naked, made them stand at Attention through the Cold Night, and at Dawn said, 'You Swine! Get Back to your Trenches.'
THEN, as the Helpless, Frozen and Naked Men stumbled over No Man's Land, they were Mown Down by Machine Guns.
