Peace Manoeuvres Amusing. The latest peace manoeuvres on the part of Germany excite only amusement here, but if any kind of | recognition were given to them by Wilson, the situation would be en- tirely different. A leading article in the Times to-day reflects in a mea- sure these sentiments, "Apparently," says the Times, "Wilson 'draws no distinetion be- tween the parties to the contest -- between the party fighting for dom- | ination and the party fighting to up- hold common law, civilization, and the first principles of common rights. What standards of responsibility were exceeded when Belgian defends herself against aggression, when Russia protests little Serbia, when France repels the invader, or when England joins them in championing the sanctity of treaties and the lib- | better than to indulge occasionally erties of Europe?"

At present there are eighty-seven cadets at the college as follows: Ar- my class, 38; second class, 28; re- cruits, 21. With regard to the superior staff, Col. Perreau says: Major Kilborn Retiring. "I exceedingly regret that at the end of the current term we shall be losing the services of Major R. K. Kilborn, P.A.M.C., the Medical Ofi- cer in charge of the college. Major Kilborn has been in indifferent health for some time past and feels that he is now unable to carry out his duties here. He has been at the college for over sixteen years, and I feel sure I gm voicing the sentiment of the long succession of the staff, and the gentlemen cadets who have passed through his charge, when I say he has carried the esteem and af- fection of the whole college, and it is with the feeling of the greatest regret that I part with him now, "On February 6th, I was appoint- ed Commandant of this college, I very much appreciate the high com- "I am pleased to say that all the college servants, who were fit for ser- vice, have left the college and enlist- ed, showing thereby the right and proper spirit for every able-bodied man at a8 time such as this.

Read- ing rooms, mess room, and library are urgently required, also labora- tory accommodation. All these es- sentials could be combined in a du- plication of the present educational building.
