Foster furnished the informati to the House of Comons that the popula-|uw tion of Canada was 7,206,643. The total number of males is 3,821,005, 'and the total number of males be. tween the ages of 19 years to 40 years was 1,344,563. He added that it 500,000 meff were taken out of the cduntry for military purposes there would be left 62 per cent. of the men of military age. if comparing the work of the 3rd Military Divisional Area with what has been done and what is being done in ¢ther divisions, Col: T. D. R. Hem- ming"s "acreage" stands up highly, The population of the division is ap- 'préximately 670,000 people. Of this number, on the percentage of the Do- minion statistics given out by Sir George Foster, the number of males; in' the division would be 382,200 and the number of males of military age (between 19 years and 40 years) would be about 125,000. When the whole of Canada is asked for 500,-| 000 men for the battle front this di-| vision is being asked to supply 47.- In an interview Col. T. D. R. Hem- | ming announced that the 3rd Divi- sion had already secured 26,000 re- cruits for the Canadian Expedition- ary Force. This means that whereas all over Canada people are putting up their hands and erying that it can't be done, this division has al- ready secured over half of the re- quired number. The big cities have received much publicity because they are sending men to the front in large numbers. Proportionately, the cities are now doing as well as they should. It is absolutely imposisble to sel cure the exact number of Kingston men who have volunteered for over- seas service. There is no doubt, however, that*as much as places like Montreal and Toronto may shout as to what they are doing, the smooth- 'running methods of the 3rd Division and of the military authorities of Kingston are doing more than their | i { The orderly officer is he who daily | sces that there ig order everywhere. No position carries with it so many opportunities for unpopularity.

This regi- , ment was commanded by a genial old colonel, who was also a politician. The ladies, having received no re- ply of their getting them, sent a ca- ble to the colonel, saying: "Anxious to know if you got pyjamas last month? Answer." The colonel had never heard of py- jamas. The old-fashioned nightie had always done duty for him. He cabled back: "Story is a lie made out by enemies to injure me politically. Admit I am not a teetotaler, but ne- ver had pyjamas last month, or any other time."
