BELLEVILLE CLERGYMAN HAS FOUR _SONS IN UNIFORM-- VISITED CAMP, Pr-- The Sth Regiment C.M.R., Leaves On Thursday Morning On Its Trek to Belleville, . % The great and famous Russia is represented at Barriefleld camp by forty-five members of the 59th 'Bat- talion. These. men have been a source of interest to the officers of the camp since enlistment, but there is now not an officer who can say | that the service has not obtained a! splendid lot of fellows. The men have for the most part been engaged on railway construc- tion work in different parts of the country, but seeing the conditions of | affairs at the front decided to answ- | er the call to arms rather than con- | | tinue to make money from railway | corporations. They are a splendidly | | built bunch, clean and neat in uni- | Il do not speak English very dis- | | tinetly.

Although these classes ave only been going 'on for two | weeks the men are showing a great improvement in their grasp on com- | {mands given them. They are like all Russians, rather hard to instruct | | but once they knew what their in: i | structor is teaching, they master the i | work, { ~ Pte.
