When on New Year's Day Premier Borden made the announcement that 500,000 was to be the strength of the Canadian Expeditionary Force the world was startled, but wise mili- tary people held back and put off a comment by the remark that "time would tell." Time has told and is telling, and if the present rate of progress keeps up in this military district--for it now leads the Domin- jon--it will be only a few months before its part of that half million will have been supplied. 1t is true that recruiting in the last two weeks has nct been as brisk as formerly. Nevertheless, the num- Ler in this districl is high in com- parison with what the Dominion did in the same two weeks up to the is- suing of the report on the 15th. The conditions that caused the falling off in the number of civilians joining the khaki ranks is nation-wide. com- ing as it undoubtedly does with the approach of summer, need of men for farm work and similar reasons depending on the calendar. When the Premier asked for that half of a mililon of men he asked that thirteen men in every hundred be attired in khaki, This percent- age is based on the last census of anada, which gave us a total of 5,- 821,067 males. With a population of 310,235 males in Military District No. 3, the thirteen per cent. asked for totals 40,330. When the half million was asked from Canada, 40,330 were asked for this district. Of that number 32, 673 have already responded. The difference of 7.000 will soon be made up even if the present light flow of recruits continues, which is not likely. There were 558 recruits enlisted in the 3rd Military District in the last two weeks. The nationalities ac- cording to the latest official figures are: Canadians .. English Scotch. . Irish Velo w al Others .. .. .. .. . 42 29 Lieut. J. Bews instructed the 50th (Queen's) Battery in physical drill and bayonet fighting on Wednesday | doing excellent work. Major D. BE.

No. 3 Standing Orders for Bgrriefield in- clude the following: '"Troops should be taught that one of the main char- acteristics of a soldier is his cleanli- ness and neatness. This does not; only refer to outer garments, but extends to underclothing and 'the body itself. There is no excuse whatever for the failure of any man to keep himself clean and neat, and troops should be taught to take pride in their cleanliness and neat appear- ance. Men should acquire the habit of bathing as often as circum- stances will permit, but in no case less than once a week." The dress to be worn outside camp is as follows: Mounted units--Service dress, boots and puttees, spurs, bandolier and whip. Dismounted units---Service dress, boots, puttees, waist belt and cane. The commander of the main guard will not permit any soldier who is not properly and neatly dressed to proceed to town. The wearing of any article of c¢i- vilian clothing is prohibited. The slovenly and unsoldierlike habit of walking and lounging about with hands in pockets is forbidden. Nurse (at medicine time): "Come, you must take this at once. it's twenty to one."

A second prize of $10,000 in addi- tion to the first prize of $20,000, is to-day practically assured for the national transcontinental aeroplane competition, which is scheduled to start at New York on September 2nd. Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero club of America, made the announcement concerning the sec- ond prize following the receipt of let- ters from all over the United States showing interest. The probable route will be | through Baltimore, Washington, St. i Louis, Kansas City, Dallas, Fort | Worth, San Antonlo, Waco, El Paso, Tucson, Yuma and to San Diego and thence up the coast to San Fran- cisco. A second route proposed in the east is through Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Canton, Mansfield, Lima and Fort Wayne. Manager Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia Athletics, blames the high wind which prevailed during the recent Detroit séries for the wildness of the pitchers of the two teams, with the exception of Southpaw Covales- ki. Connie points out that the wind played havoc with the pitchers' fast ball, and the reason why right-hand- ed twirlers had' poor control, while a southpaw got the ball over the pan was that the wind was blowing against the break of the right hand pitcher's fast ball and that the break was larger instead of smaller. With a southpaw whose fast ball was breaking with the wind the ball sailed to the plate faster, and did have a "sail" on it. In three games with Detroit Mack's pitchers gave 39 bases on balls, while the Tigers sent 22 Mackmen to first, including one man hit by a pitched ball. This makes a total of 61 men sent to first base by the pitchers of both teams in the three games, which is a world's record 5 -- a half cents higher than the prices quoted 'at the stock yards, © The m! of war notified the dealers of the rejection of their bids, and publicly made known his reasons for rejecting them | nor league managers and players of] letter tol] Graney] ould ac-| 3 for 25c¢.
