The contributions of the school pupils gives them a share in the pa- triotic demonstrations that are be- | ing made throughout the country. | 'WANTED TO ENLIST.

OTTAWA'S MEANN { Dwelt Upon in Plain Language, By the Free Press, Ottawa Free Press Twe Ottawa board of control has been asked to contribute $1,000 to- ward the regimental funds of the 38th Royal Ottawa battalion of the expeditionary force. The board of Let us hope they won't consider it long. So far, in fits treatment of the Canadian fighting men, Ottawa has the reputation of being the meanest municipality in the country. While other communities haye given practical encouragement to the brave fellows, Ottawa has done nothing. Toronto has spent hun. dreds of thousands on life insurance and other thousands in contribu- tions; Ottawa has spent---nothing. The 38th--a really and truly Ot- tawa organization--agks $1,000 for its regimental funds to provide com. forts for its men---Ottawa . men, Would the people of Ottawa have charged the board of control with reckless waste if it had taken only long enough to speak words of en- couragement and cheer before pass. ing the grant? The Free Press finds it hard to use language of restraint in com. menting on Ottawa's civic meanness in relation to the fighting troops con- trasted with its energy in squander- ing money in other useless direc- tions. ig ui To Open Practice.
