quebec in this story and i shall take it up again as it was the last of the great pageants of empire that took place in the old world before the deluge- of the war came to wash away so many of our illusions and leave us in our desolation to wonder what it was all about it was just six years before that we had assembled on the plains of abra ham to celebrate the founding of que bec by samuel de ohamplaln to that great event all the muses and graces had made their full contribution in their endeavour to mark the year 1908 as a year of jubilee and a fltttng cele bration of the threehundred years of unparalleled prosperity that had fol lowed the efforts of the great pioneer whether natures journeymen have made man or not nature gave her own undivided time and care to the con struction of that theatre on which the historical pageants and celebra tion took place the work is the mas ter piece of the great artist and if you doubt me pjease stand on those hallowed acres of the plains of abra ham and look about you to the north in the misty distance the low escarp ment of the laurentian shield that back bone of granite that extends from the shores of tnr atlantic to the waters of lake

the east the man made city and the do minuting citadel on the summit of cape diamond and to the south the river again in all its majesty and on whose broad bosom at the time rode replicas of the ships of ohamplaln and jacques cartler as well as the war ships of three great powers all the muses were there but his tory was the prima donna and sang the leading parts with all the others in support history had reproduced in a series of pageants all the events that had punctuated those years and in addition raised a solemn finger to heaven in the obelisk that commemo rated the lives and sacrifice of the heroes wolfe and montcalm the fusion camp a divisional band which we hearl only at the reviews there were pipe bands and bugle bands for march ing but the division was pot provid ed with brass bands till 1916 buthe men sang as they marched and they sang tipperary which for some reason became the marching song not only otuie canadians but of the first hundred thousand of the new army in later years it was replaced to some extent by colonel bogy and to the strains of these two composi tions it is likely that every soldier of the canadian brttlsh australian and new zealand armies kept step at some time during the war as the soldiers of prance to the stirring appeal of the march sambre et meuse they sang of tipperary and they sang of mandalay come ye back to mandalay where the old

division and the padre thought he caught the spirit of the xnvlslon when ho lntro- dued he singing of a hymn into the early morning roll call and the 4th battalion began its day of routine like the soldiers of cromwell by divine ward that innovation dwindled away for soldiers are like canaries and while they will sing when there is occasion to sing or when there is the spiritual urge from within they will not sing by word of command that old 4th hymn is worthy of a place here and give the first verse though i am certain that every member of the battalion can give the whole hymn without missing a word fight the good fight with all thy might christ is thjr strength and christ thy might lay hold on life and it shall be thy joy and crown eternally there was many things in the sol diers life which like the quality of mercy are not strained and music is one of them but there arc many oth ers and while organization is essential to efficiency one can have too much of it and over organization was one of soldier was rid of till demobilized the division was five weeks at val cartier undergoing that process which is called mobilization and which means changing from a peace footing to a war footing and tho-word-foot- ing is peculiarly significant tor one of the big elements the biggest next tp the ammunition is the boots in fact the two great elements are placed in the compound word for thesoldlers footwear ammunition boots and one is as important as the other and together form the very essence of mobilization it took time to make these boots and these saddles and the harness for the artillery though ail the manufac turers of canada were working with the militia department and working overtime on 4hese and other articles of equipment sore feet and sore backs cause more rasiialtles than civilians have any idea of and one march in 111 fitting or light shoes will place sixty percent of the men on the ineffective list hence the care spent on the so called am munition boots and the time con sumed in mobilization no army is mobile till it is well shod and while it may travel on its stomach it is certain that it travels on its feet and those elements of which the soldler and gramophone equipment and in the compartment cars with which they rill be operated provision has been made for an outlet phone circuit from the radiogramophone which will be entirely independent of the lounge car olrcuiu twenty two jack outlets for headsets will be provided in the com partment car and thirtysix in the lounge car this installation will re quire the use of only one radio set to serve both cars in the compartment cars provision is made for two head sets in each compartment or cham- brette and three headsets in each drawingroom this will be the first installation of trainlining on pass enger trains operated by any railway and the installation is being followed with great interest by other railways which have installed radio on their trains as a

these circumstances that r hon mr king introduced the motion to commit as an expedient for checking the swing of the chamber towards the conservative suggestions the motion to commit the bill which
