J BIRDWHISTLE MAY COMMAND TF THE NEW BAT- TALION TO BE FORMED In tae Third Divisional Area--Thirty Nine Recruits Joined the 59th Battalion On Friday. As stated in a previous Issue, the 59th Battalion is to remain at Bar- riefield camp, definite word to this effect having: been received some weeks ago. Due' to a misunder- standing, Ottawa papers published that the 59th Battalion was to be re- movéd to Reckcliffe, 3 Col. T. D. R. Hemming, O. C. 3¢d Division, has orders that as soon as officers can be appointed, a new bat- talion similiar to the §9th and eoth- ers which have already gone ovegs seas, will be formed in Ottawa. The commanding officer has not yet been ghosen, although it is understood that it will be Major R. J. Birdwhis- tle, Ottawa, who is at pPesent recom- mended as senior major for the 59th. It is expected that an announce- ment as to the name of the com manding officer of the new battalion will be made the first of next week, and the battalion given a number. All recruits in the division will then be sent to Rockcliffe. sv The 59th Battalion is up to stren- with the exception of the base company, which strength is figured at 100 men although this number may be changed. In speaking on the recruiting sit- uation in Kingston Col. Hemming passed the remark that the base com- pany of the 59th Battalion should be | composed entirely of Kingstonians It is thought likely meén can be obtained in the city to bring this last company up 10 strength and for such a fine battal ion there should be no hesitation on | the part of young men to enlist.

Long Record In Police Circles. Friday afternoon a cab drove up| to the county jail. This is of course an everyday occurrence, .and there! was nothing unusual about the drive. | The story has to do with the people! the "'cabby" had as fares. They were two prisoners, a man of seven- ty years or more, the other a young woman, barely out of her teens. Con- stable Jenkins 'was with them, to hand them over to the governor of the jail. To the writer, who knows the cir-| cumstances surrounding each casq,| {and cause of each one's downfall! | it 'gave much food for thought. On the one hand there was the aged| man, with a police court record of | years. and years, while on the other! hand there was a young slip of al girl, who had made her first false step in life, at least she said so to} the magistrate and her appearance and previous record would go to] show that she had told the truth. In fact her own words to the mag- | istrate were these: "This is a S---- first offence." The magistrate knew all the circumstances, and he was quite justified in sending her' to jail {for a month. No person was pres- | ent, to lend the poor girl a helping {| hand, and the court had no other | course to take. Vagrancy was the] | charge. For weeks the young wo-! ! man has been wandering around the! | city mingling with men and living a | careless life. The police were given | arders to lock her up seme time ago. | but.it was not until Thursday night | that" she fell into the police nets. | It was her first time to eee the in- side of a jail, and as she was usher- l'ed 11 with the old man she trembled | with fear: ~But not so with the old {| man. For the past few years he has | spent perhaps three quarters of his | time in the jail, so it was no new | experience for him. In fact he just | got his freedom Saturday of last |week. He had nothing to fear, as | { he "knew the ropes" as the saying | goes. All that troubled him was that | he was in a place where he could not | get a drink of liquor. And that is the | only fault, that can be laid at the {door of John Sauve. He 'would harm no person: He, himself, is his | | own worst enemy. . Drink to him is | {now:a disease. - If- he has five] | cents he has to spend it on drink. | Instead of the jail, he should be sent | to some-fospital where he might be | cured of his appetite for strong drink. The magistrate gave him a month, The old man will continue in the same old way if some person does not take him in charge, and what about the young girl? Will any of the churches or local societies .lend a helping hand? The girl says her- self it is her first false step in life. She is sorry, and wants to do better. In a month's time she will walk out of the jail a free woman. Who will meet her and help keep her on the straight and narrow path? , Police court records go to show that while there is need for foreign missionary work, there is also some- thing to be done near. home, from | ------------------ Died At Wellington.
