One of the greatest problems Ma-| jor General Hughes has before him is recruiting, and the country would be only too pleased to see him con- centrate his brisk and enterprising intellect on that subject. should does not shed a new light on its dif- ficulties. Until lately methods have been left very largely' in the hands of the local régimental authorities acting under general or- ders from Ottawa to get so many men by sych and such a time, The local officers have done their duty | nobly, but they have a right to ex- pect more direction and inspiration | from the Militia "Department than they have received up to date. In short, this is a chance for Major Gen- eral Sam to implement his recent per formance in" regard to Valcartier Camp by consistent diligence along lines not as spectacular, but quite as helpful to the British Empire.. It is suggested that the routinary persons who carry on the Depart- ment of Militia are in constant heed of a nervous presence like Major General Hughes, who will keep them on the jump. It is further suggest- ed that, as organized publicity is what the recruiting movement needs most, the regular officials of the De- partment of Militia be reinforced by a small but competent staff of active young men, who know how publicity may be attained. As the chief means of publicity is the printed appeal, pictures and pos- ters, if follows that such a staff might be chosen from the newspap- ers of Canada, whose business is pub- licity. Half a dozen reporters and a couple of newspaper artists would do the recrpiting movement a lot of good. They would not only produce copy with a "pull',' but they would give the fruity old colonels in . the Militia Department tips on "human interest" that might be worked out to the immense advantage of the British Empire. Major General Hug- hes has his own press agent who blows the Major General's horn on the slightest provocation, but one press agent, and he semi-detached at that, is not enough for the Militia Department. It should have a dozen press agents blowing bugle calls for King and Country. Being in need of ideas, the Militia Department should seek them where ideas are to-be found. 'Its a safe bet that almost any newspaper in Canada, no matter how small, has a dozen bright ideas to the Militia De- partment's one. That is a moderate estimate, Most people would put the proportion much higher. The In- telligence Department is a sub-de- partment of the Militia Department, but there is not much hope in that quarter, because its intelligence is diverted into other channels. What wanted is another Intelligence De- partment which will devote itself solely to publicity. . That the place ------ ~--, the | The | will | find plenty to keep him busy at Ot-| Not a day | go by that General Hughes | recruiting | that afternoon the - very car he {dreamt of was on the rails and doing a tremendous business. A few prae- tical dreams like that would soon jar the Militia Department out of its sleep. Another point the recruiting move- ment seems to have overlooked, is that the recruits won't come to you. If you want them you must go out and get them. The cherry that isn't worth reaching for isn't worth pick- ing. It is not enough to open an of- fice and hold down an armchair and wait for the recruits to come in and sign the roll, A beribboned ser- geant outside the door helps some | and brass bands do good work too-- for youth is ever caught by sound and color--but more active measur- es than that need to be taken if an army of one hundred and fifty thou- sand is to be kept at full strength. The recruiting officer must get out and circulate, if he would reach the football and hockey heroes who de- corate the street corners of most of our small towns. He should be able to point out to them how much bet- | ter it is to be doing their bit for King and Country than loafing at home. The Canadian army would leok better for the presence of many of these athletic young idlers, who | having won great glory in the news | papers for their. fighting qualities in the sports of peace, have now a | chance to display their prowess in the stern tasks of war. for the credit of Canada the recruiting offi- cers must get out after the young { Canadian who have no responsibili- | ties to hold them back. Nobedy | should be able to say that only the out-of-works went from Canada -- poor fellows who had Hobson's choice, fight or starve. Another matter the Militia De- partment should take in hand is pub- Hie meetings. Recruiting speeches are a fine thing, if they are not too long, and if they are spoken by the right man in the right vein. States- men are a good drawing card, but it may be laid down as a general rule that one khaki uniform that has been at the front is 'worth a carload of politiclans. It follows that re- eruiting meetings should make great play with returned heroes from the battle front. Their splendid exam- ple is worth a wilderness of brave words. Moveover, the meetings must be properly managed, so that the right kind of audience listens to - the speeches and applauds the heroes. The right kind of audience is an au- dience of nossible 'recruits, and con- #®quently any recruiting meeting that issues so many platform tickets to stay-at-home patriots that there is no room in the body of the hall for the prospective fighters, fails of its purpose. Such a meeting took place in Massey Hall, Toronto, not long ago. Half a dozen converg- ing bands drew the would-be-recruits from all parts of the city, but when the crowd got there they found Mas- sey Hall jammed to the ceiling with the friends of the speakers. It was a highly successful and enjoyable ga- thering, but it did not do much for recruiting. The Militia Department should promulgate a general order that recruiting meetings are for re- cruits and that passive sympathizers can help things along better with their room than their company. The Militia Department will also find that it helps recruiting to put the recruits into uniform at once. An old uniform is better than none at all, if the recruit is to be given a chance to be proud of his colors be- fore he is hustled off to the war. A little preliminary glory at home among his friends is small enough reward for the dangers and hard- Ph " MALGARA + - RE) Re wa #270 yan' "ub ANI ee Lash ir aS ies oc We Sw et th ironed ne pmkion Ta SIR ROBERT BORDEN GETS FREEDOM The Premier of Canada was recently presented with the Freedom of London in an impressive ceremony Lord Mayor of London and Sir Rebert Borden at Guildhall. -- ships he is about to undergo at the front. Such a rule would do away with the ragged parades of new re- cruits which are now a feature in eur big cities. As for a regiment or any part of a regiment going abroad uniformed, that shoudd never be allowed to happen. Sooner than that the uniforms. should be taken from the stay-behinds whe will get others when their turn comes: The Militia Department will also stimulate recruiting by giving defi- nite assurance that the soldier and his family will be looked after, not only in the way of separation allow- ance and pensions, as by law pro- viding for his future as a useful working member of the community, if he is not permanently and totally disabled. Some scheme of vocation- at" training should be already afoot. Members- of Parliament, can state, as Mr, Rhodes has already done, that a man with on arm can keep a light| house as well as a man with . two arms, and that, other things being equal, their patronage in regard to Government jobs will go to the sol- dier who has done his bit, rather than te (he office hunter who has re- mained at home. It goes without saying that the veterans will be en- titled to land scrip, as were the vet- erans of other much smaller wars, but it would do, no harm if such an announcement were made right now. Much has been said to the recruits of their duties. It will help the move ment to dwell a little on their re- wards. ~H.F.G. 5.000 OR 6,000 PENSIONS, Expenditure For Canada "Wil" $4,000,000 a Year, J independent state. OF LONDON. at the Guildhall.

For full Jutichlare apply to J. P, estimate made from the experience of the Militia" Department so far. While on account of the uncertain- ty as to the length of the struggle precludes any very accurate predict- fon, it is practically certain that there will be added to the Domin- fon's yearly expenditure a sum at least $4,000,000 a year for pen- sions for the wives and families of dead soldiers and for disabled ones. Up to the present, however, the number of Canadian soldiers receiv- ing pensions as a resuit of the pre- sent war is only 160, and the am- ount paid: out to July 31st has been $25,000. i As each application for a pension takes three or four months between] the time the 'soldier falls or is wounded and the date on which the application is finally passed, it is al- together probable that the $2,000,- 000 set apart for pensions during the present year will be sufficient. It is estimated that already about 1,000 Canadian men of family have fallen in action, but as stated, only a small proportion "eof these cases have been dealt with. These cases are first passed on by the pension and claims board to the Militia De- partment and then referred to Major' » S. Conger, Canadian pensions of- cer. NOT DAYS OF NAPOLEON.
