STETHEM GIVES MA. | CHINE GUN INSTRUCTION, "The 59th Battalion Organization Is Proceeding--Officers Of the Sth C.M.R. Present Whig Reporter With a New Testament. i There is one branch of Barriefield | Camp which deserves a great deal | of credit, and that is the {nstructicn- | al branch Without a doubt there | is no camp in Canada at the present time whieh has such a high standard | of instructors to teach the officers! and men going overseas. Assistihg Major Brown, the Gen. | eral Staff Officer, is Major 8. A | Thomson, who is on the staff of the | Royal Military College. Officers | Studying under him say that his lee- | tures are given In a way that anyone can understand the work covered, | and he was the knack of emphasiz- | fog the Important points. There | are many officers who have high qualifications, 'but very few ares able to impart their knowledge to others In By way done by Major Thom. The latest addition to the instruc- thonal staff is Lieut, Stethem, who was recently invalided home from the front, where he has been fight. tug with the Princess Patricias, Hé will be able to tell the officers of tha camp the exact conditions there, and having proved himself so efficient an officer he will thoroughly understand the conditions and know what is ne ceasary to improve the already high efficiency of the soldiers at the camp. Lieut. W, E. Swaine, who is Mus- ketry Instructor at the camp, is one of the best in Canada. Ha is not only a good instructor, but a crack shot himself, having been om the | Bisley team from Canada, Sergt -Mujor Cutbush, of the Royal Military College: staff, commenced a class of qualification for N, C. O's of the 59th Battalion, and the mere fact that he is an isstructor gt the R:"'M. C. proves his ability. : The 38th Battalion is fortunate in having all 'of their oMceérs highly qualified. Sergt.-Major Marsden was instructor for the Princess Patricias, and to a great extent is responsible for the high standard of excellence Every Woman "+ Can Use 50 Sught v0: use Gestation) ty, a Bien Day he nervousness Lieut. Stethem, whe {s now on the instructional staff. at Barriefield Camp, is a specialist in machine gun operations, and a3 this branch of of. fensive warfare has received a great amount of attention in this conflict, his lectures wil] be particularly valu. able, Major Meighen, who has been in. valided home from the front, and is now in Montreal, will give a series of lectures in the different -eamps throughout the country. It is ex- pected that he will come to Barrie. field in the near future. Major-Genera] L. Lessard, Inspec- tor-Generdl of the Eastern Forces, will arrive in camp in about a month for an luspection, RY KX Major R, J. Gardiner and Major Burritt are in Petérboro inspecting buildings which might be suitable for convalescent homes for soldiers. Lieut.-Col. H. J. Dawson is kept busy taking the oath ef recruits who have been accepted for his battalion. Beven drrived on Tuesday, the small. est number in some time. The bat- tallon 1s being formed inte compa- nies, "A" Company now being com. plete, and the formation of other companies is taking place. As each company is completed officers are as. signed and commence the work of bringing the 250 men into a state of efficiency which will make them capable of taking their position on battalion parades. The men being secured are of a splendid type, and although like all recruits are hard to judge before being issued with uni- form, appear to be splendid material for the formation of what Col, Daw- son states wil] be one of the best bat- taltons to leave Canada. The colonel is justly proud of his men, and is confident that in a very short while the G9th Battalion will be second to none. 4. The health of the soldiers at the cpmp is improving every-day, and there was not*one patient in the De- tention Hospital on Tuesday after. noon, which. is a record, as there is usually at. least one or two being treated, Pte. IL. Gardinef, 38th Bat- taMon, was removed to hospital on Tuesday. He was the only patient who had to receive further treat- ment, 'The number of men in the Field Hospital is decreasing, which Fmust be due both to excellent medi- cal treatment and sanitary precau- tions. Since Major G. I. Star has been transferred from the 8th C. M, R. to the staff, the former body is without a chaplain, Lieut.-Col, J. R. Muh- roe and Capt, Blue, his adjutant, are making up for the deficiency, how- ever. Noarly all of the men in the regiment have been presented with a copy of the New Tastament by their 0. C., and on Tuesday afternoon Col. Munroe presented the Whig reporter with an autographed copy. The pre- sentation took place in thé orderly tent, and was followed by Informal addresses by Col. Munroe, Capt.Blue, Lieut, Godfrey and the Whig repre- sentative. Two guns, which wero formerly in front of the Armories, have been re- moved to the camp, and will "guard" the Adminstration buflding. The high wind somewhat abated on Tuesday morning, but again came in strong off the lake on Taesday af- ternoon and evening. The 8th C, M. R. was engaged in outpost work aon the field across from the camp on Tuesday. The 8th C. M. R. 'will in the near future receive 'a hundred. horses. There are at present 163 horses be- longing to the regiment, but 621 horses are neaded if every man id to be mounted. The message that the horses were sent came fronf Ottawa, but Is likely that tho animals will be sent in from different parts of On- tario where Sir Adam Beck's buy- ers have been operating. The horses at present being used by the Sth "July is one of the sales months in the ealender o live merchants. It is the time the stores get ready for inventory. and prepare to elear out broken lots.

CASES FURTHER AINOURNED, Automobile Drivers Charged With Violating City By-law. | In the Police Court Wednesday morning, the case in which four men driving automobiles in the county for hire,were charged with an infrae- tion of the city by-law in soliciting fares 'in the city, was further ad Journed until Friday, 'A. B. Cunningham, who appeared for the men charged, pointed out to | the Court that as conditions now stood if caused a great deal of incon- venience to the drivers, As the drivers do not belong to the city, they cannot secure a license here, yet thay are charged with an infraction of a city by-law whey they pick up a fare in the city and go out in the country, while the city '"cab- bies" and auto drivers can take a fare from the city 'to any point in the | county. Selected as Viear: Rev. W. H. Lipscombe, curate of Emmanuel Church, Paddington, Lon- don W., Epgland, and formerly ecu-| rate of St. Paul's Church, Kingston, | under-Archdeacon Carey, has been seleéted from a number of -appli- cants for the position of vicar 'of Great-Bartoil," near Bury-St. - Bd- monds, Eng. The living is in the gift of Sir H. J. C. Bunbury, baronet. Among those who recommended Mr, Lipscombe was Canon FitzGerald. Mr. Lipscombe returned to Engand four years ago owing to ill-health, but recovered. Special Boats " For' Invasion of England Paris, July 7.--That Germany hag constructed thousands of aluminum boats of special design for an invi- sion of England is the assertion made by Commandant Civriex, mili- tary critic of the Matin, 2 "This invasion is possible only if Calais, keyport of the chamnel, is captured," he says. '"The series of German attacks recently made with- out particular object on the Allies' front means that the Kaiser's le- gions will once more make desperate efforts against Calais with the ob- ject of capturing the town, hombard- ing Dover with long range guns, and invading England." POLICE ARRESTED MAN Who Stole Ride on "Bumpers" On International Limited. When -the International Limited rolled into the outer stition on Wed- nesday afternoon, it had on board three men who were .beating their way to Toronte." They did not have cushioned seats, but contented them- selves wi'h the "bumpers". The Grand Trunk Rellway is giv- ing no free fides these days, so when officials of the read spled the men between the cars they immediately went after them. One was cop- tured and the other twe managed to make their escape. one who was caught 'was handed over to the city 'police, and taken to the cells. The latest stated that the other two ran down 'the tracks to- wards Kingston Mills as fast as they could, and It is doubtful if they will be located. The man who was arrested will appear in police court Thursday morning. BASEBALL RECORD. National League. Brooklyn, 3-4; Boston 2-3. St. Louis, 2; Pittsburgh, 1. New York, 6; Philadelphia, 1.

'C. H A, At nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, "C" Battery, R. C. H. A., actompgnied by the fifteen cadets who will take artillery commissions this year, paraded to Barriefield. On a transport following, a large number 'of shovels and bags were also taken, . The scheme to be worked out is as follows: The battery was supposed to be moving from Belleville to Gan- anoque, when a message reaches the officers while they are at Kingston that their scouts are being held up somewhere in the vicinity of Dun- lop's. farm, on the Gananoque road. The battery receives orders te try Maples, To do this it must destroy an enemy who has already crossed in boats from Garden Island to Grass Creek. Ong section of the hattery took up positions on Barriefield heights, and laid its guns in such a position that its fire would strike the force landing at the creek. The other section meanwhile prepared for battle if the enemy should not be destroyed. The men were set to work to dig trenches for the guns and waggons, and the horses were taken to a safe | position in the rear. A3 soon as the ona section of the battery was entrenched the other section = was also entrenched, The work as planned was for the instruction of the cadets as well as the artillerymen, and should prove very interesting. 'Dinner was serv. ed at noon, and the battery was ex: pected baek in the: city op Wednes- day evening. » -- Lieut.
