In other military centres there seems to be a scarcity in the supply of qualified officers. In Kingston there is no such shortage, although it is almost impossible to secure ex- | perienced officers. There has" been | large numbers of provisional schools | for not only infantry but artillery | and cavalry, and all through the di- vision are men who have attended courses, According to regulations-a man who has attended a provisional school is considered ,after having passed the examinations, to be a qualified officer, but this does not mean that he ig an experienced offi- cer. While attending a school tech-. nical knowledge may be obtained, but a short course officer is very sel- dom as good for the work as one who has worked up through the ranks, In this division are large numbers of men who have attended schools, but the authorities are find- ing ft dificult to secure officers who have had very much other training in actua) work, and the men obtain- able for commissions therefore are unacquainted with the/conditions the rank and file are working under.

CARBIDE NOT RESPONSIBLE, For the Explosion in Toronto June 14th, In our edition of June 14th we published an account of an explo- sion which occurred in Toronto. The article stated that carbide exploded. Thig was found later to be incorrect, and we now wish to inform our readers that carbide was not in any way responsible for the accident. We are advised now that the accident was caused by the explosion of a cyl. inder of compressed acetylene gas. In regard to the occurrence we have gathered the following information regarding carbide: Carbide is a safe article to store or transport, 'when packed in steel sheet drums, It is not affected by shock or concussion, and transpor- tation lines accept it for shipment as they do various forms of hardware. Thousands of drums of carbide are daily shipped in Canada as ordinary freight, and never has carbide,when packed in steel drums which protect it from moisture, been responsible tor accident. : When carbide comes in contact with water, acetylene gas is produe- ed, and the accident in Toronto on June 14th was caused by a cylinder of compressed acetylene gas explod- ing. There was no carbide in the vicinity.

More shells are crashing against | the German positions every hour than Napoleon fired in cannon ball have the city become a member of | during the whole of the. victorious the Ontario Municipal For this membership there is a fee of $25, but it is felt that with re- presentation on the association it will be nioney well spent.

The members of the Trades and Labor Council are opposed to the granting by the city of power at less than cost to the Kingston Street Rail- way Company. The matter of a new contract be- tween the city and the company was under discussion on Thursday night, when a resolution was passed putting the Council on record as being op- posed to any scheme to give the com- pany power at less than cost. The council takes the stand that the city will not give the city hos- pitals water at less than cost, it has no right to give the street railway company power at less than cost.

The vaudeville entertainment at the Grand last evening delighted a large audience. Lilian Mascott who possesses a sweet and rich voice, sang 'All For the Love of a Girl," "Just a Little Love and a -Little girl," gave a viol- in solo, "Tales of Hoffman," and concluded with a little dance, play- ing the viglin at the same time. The Uynos gave a novelty in the line of musical acts. The scene is a farmyard. On the fence is per- ched a crow that takes a leading part in the comedy. There is a cow from which the farmer draws milk. Every article in the farmyard is us- ed to give music. The finish of the t in Scotch costume is a scream. The Paramount Film Company presented the inimitable William H. Crane in "David Harum." The two reel Mutual play was "God Is Love," and the comedy play, 'Breaking Hearts and Beating Carpets." The Pathe Film showed sporting scenes in the United States. The same bill will be pr night and on Saturday. Opening Lake Ontario Park.

Montreal, June 18.--With refer- ence to the libel against the steamer Rochester in Buffalo, it was stated here by an official of the Canada Steamships Company, which absorb- ed the R. & O., that at the time men- tioned in the Buffalo despatch there were typhoid outbreaks inp a number of American cities visited by the steamer Rochester. There were on board the vessel at the same time as the Rhode Islanders some American soldiers who afterwards fell ill. The | United States Government held an 4 investigation, in the course of which the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company was entirely exonerated. The same thing would naturally ap- ply- to. the .Rhode. Islanders, who, sald the official, would find difficulty in locating the exact place on shore where the disease was contracted.
