After the inspection Col. Hem- | ming expressed himself as highly] pleased with the way the drill was) gone through. Col, Hemming makes an inspec-| | tion of the camp grounds every | | morning at 6 o'clock and several] | times each day makes an informal visit to the goldlers at their werk. It is planned to have three parades { frequently so that the men will be 'thoroughly drilled in ceremonial. The 38th Battalion is progressing rapidly. As previously afhounc seas', As soon as this company ed from the Base Battalion to take | their places and this will also neces- sitate the appointment of several new officers. There are six attach-| ed officers in the 38th Battalion and Provincial School of Infantry course, | if commigsions can be obtained, Even if there were not a sufficient number of qualified officers there are great numbers of N.C.O's and even privat- es who are well "educated, -- and if given the proper training ¢ould be trained to be very efficient officers. There are now sixty-four soldiers of Barriefield camp in the Military hospital, General hospital and the Hotel Dieu, The greater number {are suffering from very slight ail- | ments and there is not one case of | contagious disease. -- Some of the 8th C.M.R., were en- | gaged in shooting on the ranges on { Monday afternoon. An exercise | ride was held in the field across the | road in the morning. The artil- | lery used this field at the same time. Between the 500 yard and 1,000 yard ranges, the ground is being lev- | elled and will be used as an athletic | field for the Y.M.C.A,, work. A half | mite track will be made and inside {of this will be a football field and} baseball diamond. At present the parade ground in front of the admin- istration building is used for all | ames, but as permanent. bases would interfere with the drilling, all games will in future be played on the lower field, The parade ground however, is still to be used for prac- tising. Among the officers taking the Pro- visional School of Infantry that open- ed at Barriefield camp on Monday are Lieut. M. Bertrand, and Lieut, E. M. Gladnew, 49th Regiment; Lieuts. W. H. Robinson, B.

A reminder was placed in recent orders to the effect that all units in camp must have physical drill before breakfast every morning. At first this may seem a hardship, but many of the men have expressed themsel- vés as delighted with the scheme af- ter they have become used to it. It. not only gives then an appetite for breakfast but it gives them a good {start for the day's work. The 'officers taking the Provincial School of Infantry course, are at- tached to the Base Battalion. Lieut. E. C. Brandon expected to! leave in the near future for England' | to take a commission in the Imperial | {| Army. { -- Twenty-five men for the 7th Artil- lery brigade have reached camp in | the last few days from Ottawa, where! recruiting is being done. Principal Gordon, Queen's, was a { Visitor at Barriefield camp on Mon- day afternoon. A horse of the Army Service Corps | transport depgriment received a kick from another horse on Monday. The wound was not deep but in a very peculiar position, being in the jaw. | How the second horse ever managed | to get his foot into such a position {1s a mystery. There are now eleven telephones in the camp. | ; The commandant is determined to put a stop to the practice of automo- bites driving soldiers refusing to &top at the bridge when ordered to do-=0 by the sentry. Several cases | have happened lately and the sen- | tries have received orders to take { the license number of the car and or- ders 'vill be issued prohibiting offi- {eers, N.C.O's or men from using the |car going to or coming from the camp. Major, J de Hertel, pay-master of Perth, was visi- tor in camp on Monday.
