Ottawa, Aug. 10.--Upwards of 80,000 Canadian soldiers have al- ready been despatched abroad for service in the war, Of these nearly 13,000 have appeared in the casualty lists, so that there are still about 67,- 060 men in England and in France. This comprises two divisons for ser- vice, one of which has already re- ceived its baptism of fire and has been reorganized and reinforced at least twice, and the other of which | has been in training at Shorncliffe, and should soon be ready for service | at the front. In addition, the 67,000 | will provide a large number of rein-{ forcements when needed. In Can- | ada, it is estimated, there are be- | tween sixty and sixty-five thousand | men in the various camps, many of | whom are already in igh state of efficiency. ! it is considered probable that four | divisions of Canadian troops will be abroad at an early date, two divi-| sions for service at the front and two 1 drafts of reinforcements. The pres- | ent method of sending drafts when | required from Canada is in some respects unsatisfactory, as it breaks up the units from which the drafts are taken, and in some degree de- | stroys the esprit de corps of the troops. { : a Milliners Picnic and Dance. | On Tuesday-afternoon, the United!
