When I read the 'article I felt that I never Lefore in my life regretted so much that old age bad unfitted me from answering the call of my country. Surely the young men of the city will respond eagerly to such a great cause as ous is, . On Saturday night a friend of mine stated that he and a friend stood ou Princess street and just as a t they decided to count the yopyhg men of military fithess who passed them in the space of ten mi- nutes. The counted 175 fine looking eligible men. And all that Lieut.-Col. Low asks for his new sportsman's platoon is 56 mem Why if the young men were alive to their great oppor- tunity, the platoon would be filled in oue hour. Lieut. Col. Low's remarks as quoted from an "evening paper that "he had during the past two months vainly waited for somebody of citizens to come forward and say: 'this is our war as much as it is yours! and so assist in the recruiting of the 146th Battalion." Is a revela- tion to your readers. Surely the pub- lic menvof Kingston cannot realize just how neglectful in their duty they have been. Lieut.-Col. Low is not organizing a battalion to go ov- erseas to fight his own battles, but the battles of every man women and child in the city of Kingston and the Dowminjon of Canada. Kvidently the good people of Kingston require a great awakening as to Aust what their duties are in the present crisis. Better far better, to give Lieut.-Col Low The assistance he requires now when it is so urgently needed than to turn out at the station to cheer when fhe boys come back home again "ONE OF THE OLD GUARD."
