The changes are not particularly those that the visitor in a rush through the camp Although Capt. Stew- art has been dt Barriefield oly two weeks he has altered the appearance of both the back and the front of the camp. One of the latest improve- ments that he has brought about the hgautifying of the bridge guard house. A small lawn is being buiit at the rear of the guafd house, and' a general cleaning up is evident. anding. the New Sanitary Offi- is making s¢ sees is What the Roy al School of Artill- ery units in Canada for training offi- cers, the Provisional School of Infan try is beginning to mean to iffantry units in this division. As more in fantry officers are needed than artil- lery officers, many School of Infdn- try courses are held in different parts of the country while there is only one Royal Schopl of Artillery. The Provisional School of Infantry at Barriefield- camp is getting a splen- did, reputation and showing up won- derfully well in comparison with other schools. Already twenty-two applications have been received from different parts of the Division from officers who wish to qualify at the next course which opens on Septem- ber 7th. Major. Brown, General Staff Officer, who is looking after the school at the camp, has a good staf of instructors. A Khaki Club has been organized in the city for the soldiers. This movement is one which deserves the earnest support of the citizens as it is filling a lohg felt want and these Who are in charge deserve great cre- dit for their work in bringing the matter to a head. H. W. Richard- son has been generous enough to do- nate the -stone building at the foot of Princess street for the uses of the club, and in this building in less than! a week's time it is hoped the soldiers will have an opportunity of spending their evenings. The building will be fitted ups a club and will be open to any sol- dier, As everyone knows 'when a man puts on a uniform he becomes! not merely a soldier but a member of a huge family and a club for the! Kingston members of this family is! very appropriate amd 'will certainly| be appreciated and well-patronized. The public is not being asked for, money for this splendid undertaking, | but anyone who has some easy-chairs | magazines, books, or other materials which would be adopiable to club uses, might send word to Mrs. G. H; Oglivie, and they will be called for and gratefully. received. A presentation was made on Fri-! day afternoon to Capt." H, Stethem, officer commanding the. First Mach- ine-Gun School t¢' be organized Canada, and who leaves to take over his duties as adjutant of the 77th Overseas Battalion. At 2 pom.

Stéethem was presented 'with a beautiful large panoramic piture of the officers, N.C.O's of the class, suit- ably framed and with a silver plate on which is inséribed: "Presented to Capt. H.

R. Hemming Being also Stethem was presented with a while attending the first machine un school, Lieut. d'Esterre, 59th Bat talion, also spoke his appreciation of Capt. Stethem's work Col: T. D. R. Hemming said that he had known Capt. Years. He knew of his value as a militia officer but now knew of his worth as an instructor in machine- gun work. "It must be borne in mind," said Col, Hemming, "that the machine gun-is a. weapon of destrue- tion but it needed trained men be- hind to make the gun of value." In reply Capt. Stethem said that he had been an instructor, fer five years in. cavalry and had had con- nection with a number of schools but he had never before found a more at- | tentive and appreciative class. Cheers were given for the King Col. Henlming and Capt. Stethem. Practically all of the officers of the artillery batteries are now ground and the batteries are down to hard work. Capt. Gill and Lieuts Wallbank and Young, nd Battery, arrived yesterday, and Lieut. McLar- en, 33rd Battery also arrived. The men in the three artillery bat- teries are progressing splendidly and will soon be ready to be given the more advanced work The battery commanders are taking a careful look over the work and any irables that will be found, (none have been found yet) will be discharged Only the best of men are wanted. The 33rd Battery is almost up to strength, but Major. Sears states that there is still room for a few more really high class men. The officers mess for the batteries will likely be opened by Monday.

Friday afternoon. As soon as the announcement was made there was-a rush and about half the men of the batteries were soon inside sampling the goods. As the money that is made at the canteen comes back to the Artillery funds, the sol- diers are saving money for them- selves by patronizing it.
