The Canadian Military Gazette publishes the following article which should prove of interest to every of- ficer .in the Kingston Garrison. It deals with the kit that should be ta- ken overseas by officers and is con- tributed by "Plugstreeter!' "The general rule for getting your kit is 'Take what you can and chuck what you can't' During sedentary trench-warfhre, officers accumulate many comforts, not strictly necessary which have tobe left behind When an advance takes place. = This 8, as it should be, and conduces to their health and efficiency. Uniferm--The khaki jacket ;and breeches are worn for all duties; | trousers are occasionally worn in bil- lets. The bést material is the close- woven '"whipcord" cloth, Two jac- kets are necessary and a second pair of jackets if desirable. Gredicoat--The service greatcoat is not recommended; it is good for riding or motoring but not for walk. ing up muddy communication trem- ches, or for sleeping out;-as at obser- ving position. In the trénches the skirts get thickly plastered with mud which has to be scraped off---a pro- cess which is not good for the coat. Nearly. all officers prefer a mackin- tosh with separate lining of fur or fleece. The lining is worn, by itself as a coat in dry, cold weather and makes a comfortable dressing-gown. A "British Warm" is an additional luxury, but is not an efficient sub- stitute for the mackintosh. : Head Dress--The 'only cap worn is the soft waterproof trench cap. Boots--Officers while engaged in trench warfare do a little riding and a great deal of walking. A battery officer walks five to eight miles a day, of which, at east half, Is through the trenches, Ankie boots and gaiters are best for riding and | ordinary walking, but for trench work, where the water is a foot deep in places, long boots are necessary. These should combine the following qualities; waterproof; large enough for two pairs of socks; stout leather at toe and heel; shaped and laced at the instep; leg to open all the way down. The boot best fills these conditions is| the "field service' boot issued by the Ordnance at the front, price 36s 9d. It is laced up the instep and the part | which goes round the calf opens, and is secured by three short straps and | buckles A soft leather tongue in-| site extends nearly to the top. When well dressed with "Mars Oil" this boot is perfectly waterproof. The combined boot and Stohwasser gait- er is also good. The regulation offi- | cer's riding 'boot is suitable for sum- mer weather only. The same ap- plies to puttees. Gum boots are a luxury and are | handy to slip on for walking short] distances through the mud, or for | the stables. They are quite unsuit- able for walking any distance. You can, not have nails in them and you slip helplessly on the trench-boards. They soon wear out if you walk in them and can not be re-soied. A stout pair of leather slippers should be taken.for wear in billets. Gloves--One pair leather fur-lin-| ed gloves, one pair wool. Scarf---Very useful when sitting in | a cold O. P. Khaki wool eight inches wide and thirty inches long, not lon- ger. Underclothing--An ordinary plain- clothes waistcoat is worn in moder- ate weather but for cold weather you require 'a thick waist-coat, cut long with good woollen protection for the back and loins. Vests and drawers of grey or natural wool, winter weight. Hand knitted socks. A kha- ki woollen night-cap is most useful. Flannel 'pyjamas. Khaki flannel shirts, separate collars. A fair allow- ance is three shirts, six collars, three vests, 'thrde pairs of drawers, six pairs of socks, two pairs of pyja- mas, twelve handkerchieis, one night cap, three neck-ties, two bath towels and three hand towels. J Weapons--The sword is left-"at home. Service revolver issued en pay- ment by Ordnance £2, 8s, 6d.'in lea- ther or khaki holster. Ammunition | ch from Ordndince, Accoutrements -- Ordinary Sam Brown belt, Leather bottomed hav- ressac with hooks to hang on belt. No - water-bottle is required for trench warfare. Map-case of folding pattern celluliod face with hinge in centre. Short-necked spurs are worn. Instruments etc.-- All officers re- quire field glass (prismatic, graticul- ed, preferably No. 6); wrist-watch, (plain, no seconits, luminous face); electric toreh,- (flat, to fit on belt) and" two re-fills; large transparent protractor With catgut string; rule, (inchés and metric); field message book (Goverfiment issue); note book and pencil; clasp knife. Battery commanders require in ad- dition: --Periscope, pocket aneroid and thermomef®r; hunter watch (re- liable time-keeper); angle of sight instrument; ranging slide rule; fold- ing dividers, Stafl' officers require in addition to that of officers---Hunter watch, (re- liable time-keeper); periscope (see below) ; folding dividers; cise of col oured pencils; case of ordinary pen- cils (H.H., and F.) india-rubber and drawing pins; correspondence book (Government issue.) : There are several patterns of peri- scope. The best is the magnifying periscope, which costs about £14. Next best is that made {o attach to one barrel of the field glass, obtain- able from Leen & Co., 63, Whitworth St. Manchester, price £2, 2s, 0d. A very handy periscope is made to at- tach to a walking stick, and is sold by Bernard & Sons, 45, Jermyn St. | Box peris- | price about 16 shillings. copes should be avoided. Active -operations--The foregoing | and instru-, lists of accoutrements ments refer to trench warfare only For active operations, are required in addition: Saddle bags (Burberry), wire cutters, water bot- tle and cup, fork and spoon, (port- able) Stationery--A small despatch' box, | preferably of vulcanized fibre, should be taken This contains a writing pad, onvelopes, blotting paper, pen- holders and nibs, serew>top ink bot- tle, spare eye-glasses, (if used) pray- er-book, and instruments when fra-| velling. Bedding--Bring the ordinary bed I"¥alise, with triple blanket bag, two good rugs or blankets, .and water- proof sheet. The latter is carried under the sdddle, and the two blan- kets can go under the saddle if neces- sary. A pillow is a great comfort, but is bulky; a Cording air-pillow is recommended. Furniture--This is a matter of the weight you are allowed to bring Most senior officers manage to.bring over the complete set, namely "X" bed, bath, and 'washstaad, chair, ta- ble and lantern, Sulbalterns as a rule can bring no furniture, excepta bath between every two officers, a bath between every two officers, a wr the following | Asm aN of Sport canvas bucket, and a folding lantern.

The pre- | sentalon was made by Sergt. J. T. Reid, A.M.C. Twenty-five 'men, who 'have been recruited for the 51st Battery by Lieut. O'Leary in Ottawa, arrived in the city on Tuesday afternoon. --- The recruiting meeting for, the 146th Battalion held in Harrowsmith {on Monday evening snould 'bring | good results. It was well attended and the audience was enthusiastic. Owing to the fact that the late Lieut. H, Stewart, 2nd Battalion, who was killed at the front came from Har- rowsmith, the recruiting in that viy cinity should be comparatively brisk. | It cost the Government $720,895,- 19 to conduct the 3rd Military Divi- sional Area in: the last two weeks. This three-quarters of a million dol- lors was used exclusively on military work. The amount that is being gi- ven back to the people of Ontarig is three-quarters of this amount, being re-spent by the soldiers and those who benefit.
