NEWS ABOUT TROOPS | Men There is a moyement on foot to or? ganize a base uhit of supply in the city to take care of the large num- bers of overseas recruits. The base would be used for surplus soldiers who would be drafted into other uni- of needed. This does not mean sarily that the recruits would rafted into infantry units but as as possible they would be sent to the unit that they care to choose, whether it be infantry, artillery or mounted rifles, There are too many artillerymen in the city for the batteries, and even "with taking the draft of 300 men away in a few weeks, everyone of the batteries will be over strength. The Drydock Barracks is built to accom- modate 537 men, and yet over.700 are sleeping there every night. The men sleep on the floors and in the bunks and although they are all sat- isfied, there is no reason why more accommodation should not be pro- vided for the increased number. There was a suggestion (aat re- ¢ruiting should be stopped for a while. Every man of military expe- {rience knows that this would be the worse possible thing to do. Once the organized machinery of recruit? ling is stopped, if only a day, the ef- fect is felt for & long time after- wards. For two days it was stopp- ed a few months after the war broke out, and it took over six weeks to bring the resalt up to normal again, , Every man who offers himself apd lis accepted must be tiken on and "~~~ into a unit so that he can be trained Fall Stock is Now Complete Inspection Invited Tailors, Bagot and Princess Sts. |eement will likely {Gunner Hogg Crawford & Walsh : pfor overseas service. The officers of the 32nd, 33rd and 34th and "'C" Bat- teries are working to train man in the best possible way. men are quartered in crowded places, and this fact alone has a determen- tal effect on the training.. If a base unit of supply thorized for here, as in Toronto and other centres, all recruits could come into the base, be uniformed, attested after medical examination and given elementary training until a vacancy occurred in an organized unit. Quarters could be arranged for very easily as there are a number of places in the city that the Depart- ment has in view. Something has got to be done and done immediately to relieve the situ- ation. The Militia authorities are working on the case and an announ- be made in the near future to see what arrangement can be made.
