SECOND CONTINGENT LIKELY 10 GO TO ENGLAND. 1 Ordef to Mobilize Third Cyntingent Is Thought t& Mean an Early De- parture For the Second. The order to mecruit for, the third contingent is generally taken to mean that the 2st battalion will not be kept in the city very much longer, but will be sent to 'Salisbury Plain, The reason why the order to recruit was not issued gooner was ge nerally believ ed ta be the department's idea of whiting until the first was leaving for the front and the second ready to leave Canada before starting a third conti t. The first contingent has been getting drilled harder than o for the last six weeks, and this was taken to mean, according to letters re- ceived, that they were being prepared to move to France. The second con- tingent of infantry is now in splendid condition, being highly satisfactory even 10 the Duke of Connaught, who an experienced soldier. They are cady to sail now if wanted, and it is thogether likely that the order to pack up and entrain will not be long nu coming now. If the second contingent is moved sul in the near future, the third con- inent will mobilize at theseveral di: visional centres and then be brought to one place for the final battalion drif. The 21st battalion here in hingston has been made int one oi thw best; $f not the best, infantry bat- talions of the second contingent. [It is reasonable to suppose that the third contingent, battalion will also be brought. here. No new. buildings would have to be purchased: or re paited, as they could move into the places that the 21st is using. The stores arc here and the divisional of- fives are also here, and Kingston better fitted than any the division for the the third contingent go to England. It is recognized that it--is practically impossible to estab- lich a, battalion that is to be properly drilled by having a company here and mother company some miles off. daily: battalion parades that the 21st butialion takes through the streets and country will be impossible unless the next battalion's mobilized in one centre. is other place in mobilizatiou--of should the 21st Fhe Sth company Canadian Engi- neers in leaving on the 2nd of next wonth to join the remainder of the engineers in Ottawa, and this is being done only because it is impossible to form a unit that is "broken up into sections scattered all over the coun- ry. I'he reason that the engineers have been left so long in the city was because the department was 'generous enough to allowMhe students to com- plete their course. While here, thes have been getting the strictest of training by Capt. L.
