THE SCHL OF NEARY RECENT AMENDMENTS TO MILI TIA ORDER ARE GIVEN. There Has Been Some Misunder- standing in Connection With the Attendance of Officers and N.C.O's. Camp orders contain the follow- Ing about the infantry course of in- struction: As there appears to be some mis- understanding in connection with the attendance of officers and N.C.'s. at schools of infantry instrue- tion, the following amendments to militia order No. 31, 1916, are pub- lished for the information of all con- cerned: -- (1) With reference to infantry schools of instruction, M.0. No. 31, 1916, members of C.E.F. referred to in para. 2, included those who in the expeditionary force for the puropse of attending such schools and who are considered by the com- mandant of the school as suitable 2) Provinelal officers of militia who have expressed in writing their willingness to serve overseas may be permitted to attend schools of in- struction in the same manner as members of the C.E.F. Qualified of- ficers of the active militia may also be permitted to attend on the same conditions regarding overseas ser- vice, but without expense to the pub- lie (3) Officers and N.C.0's, re- gularly appointed to C.E.F. units will be permitted to draw the pay and allowances of the rank they actu- ally hold while attending schools of Instruction instead of only receiving pay and allowances of a private sol- dier as provided in paragraph 9 #chools of instruction, page 16, or- ganization and administration. This amendment, however, does not apply to supernumerary or attached offi- cers nor N.C.O's., in cases of the au- thorized establishment of a C.E.F. 'unit. These rates of pay will take _ effect from the 1st instant and such officers and N.C.O's as may come un- der the pay and allowance of their rank on pay lists of their own units and will only receive at the school itself such subsistance allowance as they may be entitled to on account of no Government quarters being available, Care must be taken by battalion paymastérs fo ensure that enlist | Which Is BARRIEFIELD CAMP No. 1909 Free Bulletin Service at Press Headquarters, Next Y.M.C.A. be only pay and field allowance is a ra the units pay lists and that neither rations nor subsistence is paid through that source. (4) All applications to attend a school of infantry must be accom- panied by G.8.0. form No. 50. (5) Officers already qualified that are attending the school for higher qualification will be permitted to wear their own uniform while in at- tendance at the school, minus badges of rank. . All other officers and N.C.O's. wil be required to wear the uniform provided at the school. (6) A probationer will rejoin his unit on the termination of the course in the rank which he held when ad- mitted at the school, regardless of what rank he may have qualified for while in attendance.

At.Barriefield Camp--A Good Pro. gramme of Sports Being Arranged By the Soldiers. Barriefield camp will be opened to © public on Monday, when the sol- ers will observe the city's holiday celebrating Confederation. The Do- minion Day event at the camp will be one of the biggest ever planned for this part of the country, and an im- mense crowd of people from all parts of the province will probably be pres- ent. Dominion y rates are pre- * vailing over iroads, and this ought to induce rangers to come to the city and visit their friends and relatives in the overseas battalions, who will be leaving for the front in the near future. It will furnish them an opporturity of getting a practical insight into the way the soldiers work, live and play. This camp ig their home, and through the ndness.of Col. T. D. R. Hemming, Commandant, their relatives and friends will be able to visit in that home for the day. Every facility for them to inspect the work being carried on will be granted.

THINK CARP SATIS Bat SHOULD BE STARTED AT BAR- RIEFIELD FOR SOLDIERS, -- Who Carry a Total of $200,000 jn Cash Around in their Pockets--No Place to Put It. The chaplaing at Barriérield camp have interested themselves in a gub- ject that should prove of great in- terest to every soldier at the camp. It is the establishment of a saving programme, 6,000 men | ussed plans for the . bank. Every two weeks at Barrie- field some $200,000 in cash is paid out in the cash'ng of cheques for the men. This money fs distributed in $5, $10, $20, or lesser amounts throughout 6,000 men, and carried by them unti] sent to their homes or put into banks. 'Some time before the ed, the proposition advan Torrance, of the city, to have a "penny bank" installed was turned down by the Bank of Montreal. This idea was to have a bank as simply a place where money could be deposit- ed without interest. This would give the bank operating the branch the use of at least $100,000 a month, which amount would probably keep increasing. No interest was to be paid, but the men were to be allow- ed to deposit or withdraw as they wished + ently thinking that camp open- ced by Mrs. The bank, evid not enough profit could be made, | H turned down the scheme. of any bank would be imposed, and the regular rate of Interest would be paid on all ac- counts. Unofficially as far as can be learned, the bank does not want anything to do with this idea either. Something should be done for a number of reasons can be given on the advantage that a savings bank would be to the boys in khaki. These men are in the camp during the time that the city banks are open. They are then engaged with their drilling, ete, in the meanwhile carrying the money around in their Dockets.

In the battle of Ypres his hand was wounded, and by careful work he was able to deceive the medical officers to the extent of making them think that paralysis had set in and the whole side of his body was use- less. This ruse was successful, and he wag exchanged. In England, careful nursing brought the arm around until only a slight defect in his hand is noticeable. He is a splendid. ctor, and will be a valuable addition to the Machine Gun School. -- Heavy Mail at Camp, The camp post office staff suppos- ed that the mail would become lg. | er by the battalions leaving for val-| cartier, but such has not been the | case, The soldiers at Barrietield | have a regular mania for writing to | their friends and fully 8,000 letters are handled every day at the post offic.

Stand Heavy Traffio-Vehicles Should Keep to the Right, Barriefield temporary bridge fs now well able to stand the increased traffic caused by the number of sol- diers at Barriefield eamp. Along the Water edge of the bridge a steel rail, as used on the ratiroad, has been laid, and this, it is claimed, gives an added strength to the crossing. A footpath is being constructed on northern side for pedestrians, will allow more room with to vehicles. At present, unlesssa man crossing the bridge climbs up the side or flattens himself out along the railing, he runs a big risk of be- ing struck. With the this danger will be eliminated. One suggestion advanced by an of. ficial who crosses the bridge often in a car is that ns righansd side rule of the road . strictly enforced by the military police, - Some heavy trucks of the Army Service Corps and of eco firms run from one end to the other of the bridge ki Ng a8 Dear as possible to the ti of the road- way.
