There are hundreds of qualified of- ficers in the Canadian Expeditionary Force who will not see the front in the capacity of an appointment un- less the war keeps on to an even greater length of time than Kitchen- er predicted. The lists of officers in the Canadian Reserve battaliofis in England show hundréds of Sieuten- ants, These are practically used for ornaments rather than business through force of unlooked for cir- cumstances. The fact that the Royal School of Artillery on orders from Ottawa has been ordered to suspend operations after the close of the pre. sent course shows that the same con- dition exists in the artillery branch of the service. One cause for this abnormal condi- tion is that the fact that the great army of Canada has been replenish- ed with men from the Reserve Bat- talions and these battalions in turn have been filled up by drafts from units training in Canada. To take the long trip across the ocean, one or more officers are in charge of each detachment or draft. Conditions do not warrant the return of these offi- cers and they are taken on the strength of Reserve Battalions "un- til a vacancy at the front occurs." This vacancy is proving too much nearer a dream than a reality to suit the temperament of most of the offi. cers. The casualties in this trench war-fare are really not heavy and particularly in the official positions the openings do not occur at all near- ly as rapidly as do appointments at home. For this reason Canada has hundreds of qualified officers who ale still waiting for some place to open for them so that they can show what kind of stuff Canada is still turning out. - The following have been taken on the strength of the 146th Battalion: M. C. Ellerbeck, George Heanne, S. Dowdell, A. C. Rhodes, J. J. Nellis, J. H. Orger, J. Kelly, V. G. Swain. Ottawa has now a record number of men if barracks at the present time, there being over 3,000 there. This number is made up of 1,500 in talion 'and 200 in the 207th Battal- ion with the remaining 200 scattered through other units, Lieut. J. L. Williams has posted a notice at Queen's University that all men who wish to enlist in the battery may put their names down now and come in as soon as the examinations are completed. : Lieut, McKim, recruiting here for a platoon of cyclists, hopes to secure fifty-five Queen's students and gra- duates for his squad. The platoon will train in Toronto, where all eye. lists from this division bave been training. The Infantry School of Instrue- week without any new registrations. Lieut.-Col. D. Barrager, Command- ant, is endeavoring to give every man the very best training that the time will allow and for that reason at no time will the capacity of the school be taxed as it might interfere with the splendid results that have been coming to its credit. As some of the probationers will be going back to their units at the end of the week about twenty more will be taken on next Monday. The official announcement that Barriefield camp would be used by the Department this year, though confidently expected for some time, neverthless brought joy to every bat- talion commander and his officers and men in the division. Barriefield camp is one of the best training grounds in Canada and the men, rea- lizing that they can be trained faster and better there, are anxious to come and prepare for their work overseas. The 146th Battalion is taking fre- quent route marches through the streets as they have proved to be of great value to recruiting as well as giving the men a good grounding in the most important parts of a soldier's training. Authority is granted for all Jewish members of the C.E.F. to be granted leave of absence from sunset the 17th April until sunset the 19th April. Such soldiers, if they so de the Engineers, 1,100 in the 77th Bat- sire, may, for the remaining days of tion is carrying on the work this} er | the festival, be permitted to take their meals outside of their camp or quarters, with their co-religionists. The festival in question is celebrat- ed until sunset on the 25th April. The following rate of pay to eivi- lian practitioners for the 'examinas tion wérecruits has been approved from hole April, 1916: viz 50¢ per man examined. Medical officers, not under pay may be paid at the above rates provided the total for one day does' not exceed the pay and allow- ances of their substantive rank. Colonel G. Hunter Ogilvie, return- ed to Kingston on the 9th instant '1and left again on the 10th instant on inspection duty. The results of the Field OMcers examiations held at the Infantry School of Instruction a short while ago have been announced by Lieut.- Col. W. J. Brown, General Staff Offi- cer, as follows: Major A.

"I'm a married man, and if I go to the front there'll be nobody left to do the fighting at home." Toronto Mail-Empire: Memories of such great athletes as Alister MacKenzie, George Richardson} Ross Binkley, Jeff Taylor, Allan Davidson and others make Canadians feel like answering the Olympic president's message of no games until after the war with the declaration that so long as the "baby killers" remain in existence there will never be any Olympic contests, Herbert. Vollmer of the New York Athletic Club made a new world's record in winning the 220-yard Na- | tional A. A. U. swimming champion ship at New York Monday night. The time was 2.23 2-5.

As it} is now, Carrigan's men see visions | of the world's series money slipping | away from them. It 'weuld not be | surprising if "Smoky Joe" Wood, also a hold-out, would follow Tris to | Cleveland. Both Wood and Speak- er have been roomi-mates for years. i The engagement of the N. H.

The battle will be staged by Gabe Kauffman of the Central Athletic Club, Kansas City, | on April 25th. In addition to a $7,500 purse, divided 65 and 35, the winner will be given a diamond belt, emblamatic of the light heavyweight championship. In the American League, at any! rate, the M's have it. The official Hist of players registered with the éight clubs which make up the jun for Major League circuit shows thirty-seven players who write M as the initial letter of their respective 'sur-names.

Tommy Ryan, of Toronto, Ont., of- fered Jess $1,500 to referee a fight between the soldiers at that city, Charlie Murray, of Buffalo, and Wal- ter Duffy, of Boston, went over that price, bidding for a mere half-hour of the champion's time for exhibi- tion purposes.

Ifence the fact that Harvard took in $210,449.59 at the gate during the football season of 1914 should be of | peculiar interest to the masses who have listened often to the cry of "commercialism." These expense figures, too, should prove of great interest.to many. people, including the coaches of other Harvard sports. No itemized account is rendered of the pay given to the Harvard foot- ball mentors; but if the expense bill, just for automobile hire, was made public, what a howl there would be from many Harvard students of economy. Nobody ever sees Coach Donovan, of the track team; Coach Mitchell, of the baseball team or C bile hire, without a doubt, footed be- tween $20 and $30 all through the football season for auto Jj to take Erne's tion for- Haughton and his assistant. It cost Harvard just $35,668.70 to put a team of twenty-five in the Yale Bowl to trounce the Elis 36--0, or about $1,500 a man. For a sea- son of seventy days it cost $500 a day 'to keep Harvard football on the «0. The big receipts for the grid- iron spont is because of the fact that the game with Yale was held in the Bowl. Harvard's share: of this mat- ter was $69,000. Someone asked a boxing fan the other day whether Terry McGovern was ever lightweight champion of the world. "He was and he wasn't," answered the fan. "It was this way: Terry and Frank Erne Tought at 128 pounds. Erne was then lightwelght champion of the world, having won the title from Lavigne. Terry knocked him out, and though they weren't con- testing at the lightweight limit, Terry got the credit for knocking out the chamipon of the class. ' He weighed a great deal less than Erne. Terry went to Erne after the fight and said; 'Frank, I don't want your title. I'm too small a man to de- fend it. They're all good boys in your class and it would be asking too much of a little fellow like me to stand them all off. Keep your title. I don't want it. "S80 you see," remarked the fan, "Terry was never the champion of the lightweights because he refused crown, though he knocked him out, after Erng had weakened himself trying to make the low weight." Baron Pierre de Coubertin, presi: dent of the International Olympic Games' Committee, stated at Paris to the Associated Press that no Olympic games would be held dur- ing the present year or while the war lasted: He also supplemented the announcement with some inter- esting details, "Though there will be no Olympic games in 1916, or during the war," said Baron, "preparations for the games in 1920 are being made so far as possible, Four cities already have expressed a wish to have the 1920 Olympic games held within their precincts -- namely, Antwerp, Lyons, Amsterdam and Havana. "In the last-named capital the ap- plication is about to be made, or has been made, to the Cuban Congress for 5,000,000 francs on account of the preliminary expenses alone, Ant- werp had signified a desire to have the games held there before the war. Since the outbreak of the war the city has repeated the request, and the burgomaster has received a let- ter from King lbert of Belgium congratulating on the fact. "The meeting of the Intemationa) committee planned to be held a Venice has, of course, fallen through, and there will be no meeting of the committee till the war is over. "Baroh de Blonay, the Swiss mem- ber of the committee, to whom I have temporarily delegated exeou- tive authority, lias pointed out in the Swiss newspapers that is sports have been held in Berlin, as stated in the papers, they could not have been of an international character." Asked if he thought it likely that the sportsmen of the Entente Allied countries would be willing to com- pete with Germans and Austro-Hun- garians in 1920, Baron de Coubert- in said: "It i§ impossible to say what the state of international feel- ing will be four years hence. It is that Germans and Austrians possible may not be invited to participate. a. | Sir Robert ~ PEE THE CIGAR THAT MADE THE 5c FAMOUS your carpets are up.

WELLINGTON STREET QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take cablespoonful of Salts Back hurts or Bladder bothers. ir We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with urie acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys .do their utmost to free the blood of. this irritating aeid, but become weak from overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back -or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad wea- ther, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and In a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is mad from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus sadiag 'urinary and bladder disor- ers. Jad Salts is inexpensive and ecan- not injure; makes a delightful ef- fervescent lithia-water drink, and no- body can make a mistake by a little occasionally to keep kidneys clean and active. You will be surprised make an honest attempt ate the things which you it you will to . ought.
