In commemoration of the extraordinary gallantry and determination which they then displayed," announced the premier last night, "flags with be flown at masthead at all government buildings, and it is hoped that this decision will be adopted by all persons and institutions throughout the Dominion. "Canadians will remember how, in the face of an overwhelming attack in which a horrible and unknown method of warfare was used against them, Canadian troops held the line for days. They will remember their thrill of pride when they learned from the highest authorities that their citizen soldiers had saved the day for the Empire and the Allies. No less in honor of those who fell than in token of our unalterable determination that their sacrifice shall not have been in vain it is fitting that this anniversary should be recognized."
