There are many things taught to the civilian who enlists in the Cana- dian Expeditionary force. The re- cruit is first shown how to carry him- self erect, this by means of physical exercise every morning. His con- duct on the street is corrected if not satisfactory. This all happens be- is commenced, Now the 146th Battalion, as an even better foundation for the sol- dier"s work, will teach the English the classes, People in the eity of stances the residents of the back of the country have not all received the education that a person ought to have dt this stage of civilization. Merchants will testify that hundreds of well-to-do farmers from the north Frontenac and in fact residents close to the city are unable to sign their own name. The 146th Battalion has been able to secure for its ranks a number of farmers but not all of them have been well educated. For physique | they more than equal the recruits of the larger places. For use in the ranks these soldiers are equal to any but they are of little value in special- ist work. For scouts, signalling and similar purposes their lack of knowl- Sse of the English language debars them. To remedy this drawback and to have a battalion with every man fit for any position, classes of instruc- tion in the English language have language to all who care to attend] i come a n part of the military organization of every country is gen-; erally conceded, but in addition to this it is pointed out that after fhe war it would be desirable to have as many qualified aviators in Canada as possible, since the commercidl va- Jug of the flying machine will then be more fully developed in all coun- tries. 'It is sincerely hoped that the Canadian Militia Department will re- consider its decision with a view to finding it possible to establish one or more aviation schools in the Domin- In militia circles here the dpinion is expressed that if the matter was laid before the Government a school of aviation could be established at Barriefield camp. Between the new causeway and the Country Club there is a level plain of quite half a mile wide and long. This borders on the water below the bridge sheltered from the winds of the lake. The ground is owned by the Government and is convenient to the city for the transportation of supplies but far en- ough away that the operators would Jat be bothered by trespassing civi- ians. - This ground has already been used for aviation purposes. When the late F. S. Luckey flew here after spending several days looking for the best ground possible he told the Whig at the time that it was ideal for the purpose, Recruiting in Ottawa has been more active during the past two been started.

A schedule was drawn up so that even | the man who has never before re. ceived any schooling will in a very | short time by the sacrifice of a aw) of his evenings be able to read and write English. ; 'The classes are being given in the Sergeants' Mess at the Armouries | and a black-board has been put up | for the purpose. The books and all| necessary articles for the classes are| being purchased with regimental! funds so that the classes can be made | absolutely free to every soldier. | There is not a little dissatisfaction | amongst young men in Toronto and| in other parts of the Dominion who are desirous of taking a cours Nin aviation. in order to qualify for the British flying squadron that the Mili- tia Department is apparently taking! no interest in this important depart- | ment of military service.

Toronto Riversides have not reached any decision regarding the Allan Cup trip. Some of the play- ers want to go, and others are not very anxious for such a long trip. yet J. C. Broderick, formerly of the Cornwall! lacrosse team and who went to England with the Olympic team, has enlisted with the 154th Overgeas Battalion, with the rank of quartermaster-sergeant.

The in- fantry battalions recruiting at Otta- wa are 136th, 139th, 146th, 156th, 156th, 207th and 224th. In addition a few men are needed for the 80th and the 77th. Tradesmen are being enlisted for the Engineers and bak- ers for the Army Service Corps. The artillery recruiting office continues to send large detachments every week to the 51st Battery here. Lieut.-Col. W. G. Hurdman, com- mander of the 3rd Divisional Ammu- nition Column has taken a splendid unit to England. Capt. J. H, Stoth- ers is adjutant of the column. He was formerly recruiting officer for the artillery in Ottawa. He is succee- ded in that position by Lieut. Em- mett O'Leary. Lieut.-Col. D. A, Whitton is medi- cal officer of the column.

Foyston and Holmes, late of the Seattle hockey team of the Pacific Coast League, are back home and will probably figure in the Toronto team in the final game with the Can- adiens at Toronto Saturday night. Both players were well satisfied with the treatment they received at the hands of the Patricks and expect to return west next winter if they are not in khaki. Can you figure, asks the Toronto Telegram, that proposed amateur hockey league with Montreal, Otta- wa, Pittsburg, Cleveland and the northwest (Sco, St. Paul, ete)? They ought to get along like so many Kilkenny cats. The eastern- ers have been putting it on one an- other's eye all winter and perhaps it is as well to get other eyes to gouge out. Friday night's soldiers' game at the Toronto Arena should be worth while. The Peterboro khaki outfit number nearly all of the north coun- try players who were not allowed to figure on the town team in the O. H. A., and "Billy" Breen's sportsmeén's seven need not look for a walkover. Lieut. Applegath, of the Riversides, will play with the Sportsmen's team against Peterboro. «Q .

Low if he would care to give an address from the stage appealing for recruits when the play is mut on here March 24th and 25th. Col. Low will likely ac- cept the offer and forty men of the 146th Battalion will be used in the battle scene. Capt. Charles E. Sutcliffe, 77th Ottawa Battalion, was at 'headquar- ters on Wednesday. Capt. James T. Sutherland, quar- termaster of the 146th Battalion, left on Tuesday night for Toronto to attend a meeting of the O.H.A,, to decide the case of Hillman, the Sar- nia player whose standing is disput- ed by Belleville.

Applications for both courses have been pouring in for se- veral days and large classes are ex- pected. 3 Arrangements have been made by Lieut.-Col. E. M.
