the path of patriotic service and de votion one of the few benedictions of that war was this devoted service of the women of the empire and all over the world a service unrecognized officially but written deep into the fiiearts of all those soldiers of all- the armies who derived blessing and com fort physical and spiritual from the unceasing needles and the thought that some one was thinking of them the division had come to the camp in all the footwear known to man and in underwear and shirts quite as varied and as the transition from the civilian to the soldier went on as the civilian boots and clothing gave way to the military great fires of purification burned away in the regimental lines consuming these re lics of bygone days and giving witness of the process of mobilization those fires smelti to heaven as only the combustion i of leather wool and other nitrogenous matter can smell but one by one they burned out and one by one the battalions sprung from the ashes phoenix like clothed boot- 1 ed and fully armed and ready to- go anywhere but by preference in the direction of the sound of the guns which at that time were exchanging favors and compliments across the valley of the river marne clothed booted fully armed and provided with real ammunition the 1st canadian division was mobilized and the pro cess had consumed ave weeks each soldier carried an extra pair of boots in his kit and an array of necessaries and utensils that almost required the services of a hay press to force into the pack and many other details such as iron rations that were to be carried in the haversack the soldier took it all with the philosophy that is peculiar to men on active ser had the department added to- each soldiers kit a monkey a gri organ about the only things they fol got he would have accepted both in the same spirit even though his knees wobbled under the load and the monkey insisted on scratching his head after the manner of such quad rupeds there were no phychological ex aminations in the canadian forces no tests of intelligence as applied by the american forces these graded all ranks and placed opposite each sol dlers name a figure indicating his men tal capacity and the nimbleness with which his mind reacted under the questions submitted by jji inquisitors the board of psychology i was in terested in the results of these tests for they graded over half the candi dates as morons or below the level of normality unfortunately the exam ination was not universal the exam- include the senior officers and gen erals as well as politicians whose i q or intelligence quotient would have been scrutinized with deep interest and head noddlngs and mutterlngs of i told you so reverting to the equipment issued i forgot the razors marked cutwell good razors when sharp but skinning knives when dull as they usually were for there was nothing to sharpen them on save the straps of th equipment the amcricariswete issued with safe ty razors and just what disposition they made of the used blades i am unable to say if they followed the practice of other armies in the war they undoubtedly organized a depart ment for the disposition of used safe ty rasor blades the dujsrb and pestered the lives of the poor com manding officers with demands for reports and returns as to the number of undisposed used safety razor blades in the battalion man is an incorrigible organizer even in civil life but to the army he sits in his swivel chair and plans and d n o tu piopltlae couid trot past aalfhe were pulling a street car or a truck but the artil lery must have spirit so here goes eyes right yells the battery com mander and thirty six drivers throw thclr whips to the right not in anger nor infl snlrlf pf rn but to gather t age then the gun team into one unit and to admonish the off horses that the time was come to show what i sort of niettle tho cana dian teaijiai were made of nothing any finer ever took place at antioch here were scores of ben hurs with a perfect imderstarrtiing with their teams and scores of horses all deter mined to show the duke that their own parucular team was the bestrta the battery watch that big bay raise t il we have now a complete range of spring hats for early showing and extend to you a most cordial invitation to inspect our stock misses claridcje georgetown herald block the great ood efficiency but which defeat their purpose by irritating the spirit of those in whose interests he plans the most highly organized lnstltu- tion in the country is a prison with all its signal bells and whistle sounds and its lock step precision jhe farther one keeps from such an ideal the hap pier will be his battalion spontanei ty is the essence of libertyund while one must have organization it is my judgment that the fewer the orders and parades consistent with efficiency the finer the spirit and the morale of the force all of which started with a used safety razor blade at this time we took into the hal- ton company an old soldier named jamison- one o the few survivors of the old army that kipling wrote much about one of the type who said tcharn in bringing the company to attention for we made him com pany colour sergeant or sergeant major as such non commissioned officers were called under the four i company establishment as colour sergeant tlala old soldier who had had many years experience in the marines had charge of the cdmpany hooks and the parading of the de faulters for orderly room he was a great find and one or the oldest men who served overseas for he had been with gordon on the nile in the eighties j as the mobilization progressed in spections and reviews multiplied and one of each of these stand out like a cameo during those days of pre paration we had niarched past every sunday past sir robert bordcn past colonel sam hughes past all the press from dan even onto bcersheba past the princess pat past all the moving picture cameras and past everything that could oe marched past and was permitted to stand on the saluting base in the valley of the jacques cartter but the greatmarch past was that whlcli maybe called the royal re view for the governor general of canada the duke ot connaught took the salutes himself to kick and right in front of the duke but the duke smiles his appreciation for he knows that is only one way artillery horses have of doing an eyes right if you have ever ridden the lead team on number one or any other gun you will ap preciate the exaltation that comes to the drivers as they negotiate thetr teams in a march past and when the commancfls given and they raise thelr whips in response in this age of mechtmteah service 1 and high powered motor cars this may seem to some as tamer box there is something spiritual about the rela tionship of- the artillery driver to his teamv which is wanting in the lever moving and button pressing experi ence of driving a car while sitting in stable and luxurious seat the one inspection we remember was toward the end of the camp when we were getting ready to go down to the sea in ships or just a few days before embarkation we were told that an inspection by a certain of ficer was in prospect that day and we set our regimental house in order and marched out to the field which proved to be more of an arena than a parade ground shortly the inspec tor arrived in a cloud of dust which suggested smoke with fire as the cause and accompanied by one aidede camp whose name as i remember was colonel read the inspector reined in his horse in front of the leading company but he allowed his emotions to ride through out the inspection with out check and his first salute to the fourth left no doubt in our minds that he had it in for the battalion and that we were regarded as a bad battalion and one that had to be purged if necessary with hellfire he put us through all the battalion drill movements that he knew mostly archaic and many fit the officers who had never heard of these old movements had to draw heavily on their resource of intelli gence in order to adjust themselves to movements that were as much out oi date as the british square forma tion used by the infantry at quatrg bras by some extraordinary involution of the battalion i found myself with the halton company at the head of the column rigrttrtlnder the eye of the inspector and the fiery contempt of his snorting horse rather a mys tery when one remembers that we were at that time e company in the battalion and the fifth company to the rear major hunter had been there with the york rangers at the start and no doubt the majors re linquished his position in the front line with cheerful acquiescence by this time every officer in the i was about consumed lth suppressed anger and the men were about read to mutiny under the tornt of hivec tlve that the inspector poured over the head of every officer who came under his fiery eye then fate smiled at us the inspector wheeling his horse to the right to get to me collided with the horse of the aide with concussion that suggested the impact of two planets and the aide got it get to roared the inspector giving colonel read transpjr-dlrec- tions as well as nominating his des tination and the fourth battalion grinned dellghtedlyr and the strain on our discipline wlon our optimism was relieved colortcread retired to safer radls morallzingno doubt on mans inhumanity to man and specu lating on the condition of his saddle girth that inspector had an idea that drill sergeant efficiency was the criter ion of officer efficiency

which no less an authority than lord curzon foreign secretary of great britain had em phasized the peril of running contrary to a moral sentiment on the part of a people which had as to the case of the united states expressed itself in legislation in one of his most picturesque phrases rt hon mr king suggested that the canadian public would not wish to tolerate for one mttin n situation in which canadian cv officials however lnno ni in the links between the brewer ni ri tillers and the bootleggers uh jimp- led whiskey into the unied states in defiance of that countrys law the fact that the

professions of high morality with which the prime minister iad endowed it and left it exposed as a straight political mcasftire- addressed to the toronto o lobe and other temperance organs whose support the government was desirous of carrying we arc glad he said on iwvialf of his group that we can support a measure which we on this side of the house were prevented by your status from introducing but for which we have waited for the past four years he then traced the history of the border liquor controversy which cul minated in the- introduction of the bill he showed how in 1926 the prime minister then appealing for the support of the people in a general election had pledged himself to carry out all the needed requirements of reform in the customs department he pointed out that the customs enquiry commission of 1026 had drawr atten tion to the smuggling of liquor and had specifically recommended that olaaranccs to the united states should be abolislyal he read aswell
