The Finance committee of the City Council on Friday evening dealt with the question of securing quar- ters for two more battalions of over- seas volunteers, which the militia department will mobilize here if proper accommodation can be secur- ed. It was decided to recommend to the council on Monday night that the militia department be granted fhe use of the City and the Ontario Halls as: had been suggested in the Whig. It was suggested that the island market house be given for a dining room for the soldiers who would be quartered in the two halls. This would be a mest convenient place. However, two or three other places in the vicinity of the city buildings were suggested in place of the market house, and one of these mav be arranged for. The militia department would like tn get the two new wings of the Collegiate Institute and the Victoria public school, which are not yet in nse. A committee, consisting of the mayor and Alds. Sutherland and Kent, was appointed to look over the school wings and other places on Saturday, in company with Cel. T. D. R. Hemming, and see what ar- ranrements can be made. The mili- tia demartment will pay for all dam- age that might be done to any of the buildings used. Other quarters will be found for the Red Cross so- (ety and the militia Y.M.C.A. The department of militia wishes 'a mobilize the infantry regiments here. These regiments will total ver 2,000 officers and men. The mounted division will likely be mo- bilized at Ottawa. The City Council will do every- thing in its power to secure the mobilization here of the additional re"iments, A special meeting of the Board of Fducation has beén called for Satur- dav evening, at eirht o'clock, to con- sider the matter of giving the militia denartmefit the use of the two new school wings. Po ---------- IN MILITARY CIRCLES, The Service In The Armouries On Sunday Aftermoon. Rev. G. 1.

Major Thompson, of the Royal Mili- tary College, on Friday night, gave a lecture to the officers of the 21st bat- tation. .-r The following men have passed the medical examination and have been accepted in the Army Service Corps for overseas service and will be sent to either Toronto or Montreal : John Kennedy, A.

Steacy arrived on Friday from Halifax and have been appointed to the instructional staff of the Royal School of Artillery at Tete de Pont barracks, assisting Lieut. T. D. J. Ringwood. With the addition of forty more ca- dets at the Royal Military College in January, it would be impossible to accommodate any contingent for over- i seas. The only way to do this would be to close the college. In any case the number that could be accommo- dated isnot 'anywhere near what was mentioned on Friday. Prior to leaving for Kingston, where he has joined the second contingent for overseas service, Thomas Beatty, Tweed, was presented with. $10 in gold by the Women's Institute and a sig- vet ring by his young friends.
