SINCE SEPT. 3, 1939 TIME HAS BEEN THE DOMINION OF CANADA'S 2ND FRONT PAGE. LAST NIGHT THE D.O.C.'S AIR WAVES WERE LAVISH BUT SINCERE IN THEIR PRAISE OF TIME'S [AUG. 10] CLASSIC WORD PICTURE ON LIEUT. GENERAL ANDREW G. MCNAUGHTON OF THE CANADIANS. I BELIEVE, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS LIKE ME, THAT IF CANADA'S SCIENTIST IN KHAKI WERE GIVEN HALF THE FIGHTING CHANCE HE AND HIS CANADIANS DESERVE HIS BERLIN-POINTED DAGGER WOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO STRIKE HARA-KIRI AT THE BELLY BUTTONS OF HITLER'S BARBARIANS. . . .

...McNaughton applied his genius for analysis to the theory and practice of artillery fire, and artillerymen of all armies recognize his contributions to their art. He brought centralized fire control to a new point of efficiency (see p. 72). He worked his men as though they were his pupils in a laboratory. Said one of them last week: "McNaughton had us on hilltops, in trees, day and night, clocking the enemy firing, until he had located every enemy battery on our front. He had us out digging craters for shell fragments until he knew the exact size of every enemy...
