a ON BARRIEFIELD HEIGHTS WITH THE OVERSEAS TROOPS Reeryiting officers continually use the statement that recruits are equip ped from the skin out as soon as they are attested. The statement is borne out by a recently issued list of equipment which goes to every man. There are few other things that could be asked for and cer-' tainly none that are necessary. The | list is as follows. Two pairs of an- kle boots, one forage cap, one khaki great-coat, one khaki serge, one pair of khaki serge puttees, one service shirt, one, pair service trousers, one pair serge khaki trousers, one car- digan waistcoat. In what is known officially as di- vision "'C" there 4% also for every overseas volunteer one kit bag, two pairs boot laces, one pair braces, one clothes brush, one hair brush, one shaving brush, one tooth-hrush, one sleeping cap, one comb] two pairs winter drawers, one tin dubbing, one fork, one holdall, one housewife, one table-knife, one cased razor, two flannel shirts, two winter shirts, two pairs socks, one spoon, two hand towels, one cap-bagge, one pair col lar badges, one pair of shoulder ini- tials. The officers of the 80th.Battalion have put up a high barrier against recruits of any but the highest class Other units mobilized in all parts of the country have been accepting all| kinds of men. Some have adopted the idea of the 80th Battalion offi-| cers, but it is seldom enforced as| strictly. The medical officer exam- | ines every recruit as soon as he re- ports and makes his examination ond a very high standard. The man before he is attested, is subjected, to| another and even harder test. That is, will ne make a good soldier. The judgment in this cas# rests with the higher officers and it is here that so| many are thrown out. Lieut..Col. W. G. Ketcheson, officer commanding, is | determined that only the best will be under his command. . No plans for the route-march of the 59th Battalion on Friday have| yet been announced, but it is ex-| pected that it will be similiar to oth- . ers that have been taken previously. | When the order came on Wednes- day to select fifty men as reinforce ments for the Royal Canadian Dra- goons from the 34th Battery, sixty- two of the best men that Major Mas- sie has under his command stepped out. Fifty were at last chosen and | turned over to the clerks to arrange fer the gaking out of the papers. Lieut. T. A. L. Conn, formerly of the Sth C.M.R., who has been A.D.C. to Col. T. D. R. Hemming, camp com- mandant, will be in charge and will take over the command of the men on the first of the month. remain at Barriefield until ready to gO overseas. Major RK. Massie, .0.C., 34th Battery, left on Wednesday evening are being transferred to the 59th Battalions as officers' chargers. Capt. McLaren, 59th Battalion, is absent on leave, J Lieut.

Pilley, assistant adjutant of the 80th Battalion, expects to take, over his duties with the battalion im- mediately. Lieut. Turner, Division- al Paymaster, is losing a splendid man from his staff, and will fine it hard to replace such -a sergeant-major. Lieut. J.-H. Wallace, formerly of the Y.M.C.A. staff at the camp, (has received his honorary captaincy and will go overseas with the 8th C.M.R as Y.M.C.A. representative, Capt.

Gi ch- 1 ih ose ae S 3 Reynolds, The Balloon Ascension. It was just one year less two days that the last balloon ascension was witnessed in the city. | On Wednesday afternoon R. J. Bushell had included in his list of features a balloon ascension, that was watched with the usual interest by everybody. Shortly .before four o'clock the inflation process was started, and concluded in quick time, the gas bag being filled in less time than usual. After the 59th Battal-! ion had finised its physical culture exercises, the members lent a hand at holding the balloon in position. A beautiful clear day greeted the aero- naut, Earl Vincent, and he rose to a height of several thousand feet, In plain viéw the balloonist cut his parachute free from the gas bag, and in his descent perfofmed feats upon the trapeze bar. Very little breeze ; was blowing #nd the parachute was not carried far. On Thursday afternoon two ascen- sions were to be made, at 2.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. respectively. = The regu- lar aeronaut was to make the first flight, but the second was to be made by Charles Russell Hetherington, a | member of the local "C" Battery, 'R.C.H.A.
