C.A. realizes that a soldier besides being prepared to meet the Germans on the battle-fleld must also be pre- pared to meet his God, To aid him in this preparation at Barriefield camp the National Coun- cil bas assigned E. R. Wilson, Gen- eral Secretary of the London Y.M.C. A., and a very large staff. To accomplish their work the Y. M.C.A. men realize that they must meet the men from two angles. They must furnish a place where a man can get refreshments and where he can sit down and write letters to his home, and also ténts to attend to re- ligious services during the evenings. When a Whig representative paid a visit to the camp he was very much surprised at the great work be- ing carried on by Mr. Wilson and his staff. The first large tent the Whig man visited was where the ser- vices were carried on each evening under the direction of Messrs. Mains, McCullough, Hudson and Keeling. here there is seiting accomodation for at least six hundred. On many occasions there have been as many as a couple of thousand soldiers gather- ed around the tent to hear the gospel message. The .outstanding feature is the singing conducted under the direction |, df Reg. Hudson. Although Mr. Hud- | son was the organist of Christ] Chureh, London, he thought that his place was in camp helping the sol- diers to sing. Since coming he has been a great favorite with the men. He is arranging for numerous pro- grammes to be put on in the large chase tickets Things are so arranged that every cent is accounted for. {Adjutant 156th Brockville Hn | | considerable difficulty in getting suitable men to wait on tlhe counter, When the Daughters of the Empire heard of his difficulty they offered to furnish six ladies each day.

McCammon, Sanitary Officer of Barriefield camp, is keep- ing the camp in good condition in spite of the weather conditions. He is very stringent in his method of keeping papers and all disfiguring ob- jects from being strewed on the grounds. The soldiers themselves are co-operating in a satisfactory way. Along the camp roads may be seen the mounds that have been built up by the men. These bear suitable. in- seriptions designating the number and name of the different units. The white washed stones, that form the boundaries for the several areas, add to the appearance, and continual improvement in this way is expected. Rather than wait until ments could be completed by the Engineérs, Lieut.-Col. J, J. H. Fee is having the road in front of his camp fixed. A gang of men, under a sergeant who was for many years engaged in road construction, has been doing the work. A wide ditch has been constructed on either side and as soon as warm weather dries out the mud, this should be a good piece of road. The 130th Battalion lines will also "be improved in the same way. This roadway has never been built and heavy traffic has cut it up, It has been suggested that either the county or the city should loan the authorities a roller for a few days and a permanent highway be built. arrange- COMMENCE RECRUITING Through the District for the Depot Artillery Brigade The Depot Artillery.

The militia authorities evidently beliave that '"'cleanliness is next* to godliness." For this reason, they have arranged that every soldier in training at Barriefield camp will be afforded the privildge of a daily shower-bath. The engineering department has arranged to put shower-baths in every battalion lines. "There will be nine showers for each battalion. These showers will be enclosed in a wooden structure. Although this matter has been in the hands of the Engineering Department for some time, it 'was found impossible to do anything on account of the shortage of water, due to insufficient water be- ing produced from the artesian wells. Now that the electric water pump, which was erected along the shore of; Cartwwright's Point property, has been put in working order, there is an abundant supply. This pump, which is run by electric power furnished by the city, is cap- able of pumping 12,000 gallons of water an hour, To furnish the troops with sufficient drinking water it only requires the pump to be kept running for a period of about six hours, which means there is lots of time to pump the water for other purposes, It is thought that the water which was formerly pumped from the artes- ian wells will be used to supply a portion of the drinking water. The Engineering Department will likely install a series of drinking fountains throughout the 'camp. The material to be used was purchased two years The water being pumped is said to be first class. The intake pipe has been placed 125 feet from shore and is lying in thirteen feet of water. All water is treated with chlorine in the same manner as the water used Kingston, CAMP NOTES Lieut.-Col.

During certain hours of the day it is very dangerous for a citizen to attempt to walk across the struc- ture on account of the number of automobiles carrying soldiers. The men in charge of the bridge have great difficulty in controlling the traffic during the busy hours, During the past week or ten days they have been assisted by a number of military police who are stationed at different places along the struc- ture. The men report that they have counted as many as 3,400 vehicles in twenty-four hours. One of the busi- est places on the bridge is at the swing bridge. To make sure that every man who passes over the bridge gets a square deal the patrolmen nave arranged that a certain number going in the same direction shall pass over before the traffic is opened for those going in the opposite dir- ection, 1A Whig representative, who pass- es over the bridge In an automobile tour or five times each day, once counted sixty-four automobiles be- tween the top of Barriefield hill and the city side of the bridge all going 10 the camp, .
