f Q ¢ BEING CONSTRUCTED * TO THOSE AT THE FRONT. Overseas Officers Giving Instruction in Their Use and Construction-- Class of Bombers Doing the Work. A camp that is used for the train- ing of soldiers for service in France and Flanders in the present cam- paign should be as near as possible | patterned after the conditiohs met at | the front. Barriefield camp is near- er that ideal than many other camps and is getting nearer all the time. The training is being varied without regard to precedent, so that when the soldiers leave here for England they will be fully trained n all the essential things that would make; them valuable after reaching the fir- ing line, ' The finest of details that | will make the camp resemble actual | war conditions are attended to and the results are apparent at a glance. ara amy 18'0he instituting of a bombing and grenade school at which overseas soldiers may receive that very important part of the work they wil be called on to do after reaching France, Working on messages authoritative advices from the front, Lieut.-Col., W. J. Brown, G.8.0,, last year had several sections of trenches constructed near the loca- tion of the old butts south of the Gananoque road directly opposite to camp headquarters. Taking advant- age of every opportunity this year the services of men who have been at the front were used. The trenches, during the winter, were somewhat washed away. .

All is being done exactly as would be the case at the front.

The floors of the trenches are lined with "mats," 'which keep the feet of the men using them out of the water which might be draining down into them. It is a great advantage to have of- ficers instructing who have actually seen service at the front" FIELD DAY AT PETAWAWA. Two Thousand Men Contest Prizes at Celebration. Over two thousand artillerymen took part in and watched the events al the inuepseatbleUcdg!d day held one of the biggest, most complete and successful events of its kind ever held under such circumstances, with only one arm of the militia units to call from. Brilliant sunshine prevailed, the men entered the contests with en- thusiasm, and the various heats were vigorously contested. The cards were arranged by the Y. M. C. A. staff under the direction of I. E. Mun- ger, General Secretary of the Otta- wa branch, but battery and staff offi- cers acted as judges. During the evening three thousand soldiers watched the boxing and wrestling contests, while the horse- back wrestling was the most popular feature of the afternoon events. The R. C. H. A. band rendered musical se- lections during the running off of the for classes attending the school of bomb- ing are at work at repairing the dam- | age done, | Lectures have been given in the | construction and using of bombs and grenades and now the class is build- ing up trenches in a way that they would be called on to do under the conditions which those in charge have lately left in France. Capt. Anderson, D.S.0., is in charge of the school, and the others on the staff are Capt. Sharpe, Lieut. Migney and Lieut. Macnee. All have been at the front and are using the knowledge gained there in their work here. The class of officers, N.C.0's. and men to the number of about 100. are taking this course, and their first five days of work has resulted in quite a section of trenches being completed. Here one gains a splen- did idea of the actual conditions at. the front. Like a huge snake winding across the field the fromt line of trenches runs from the road far down into the Dhollow, Every few feet is the "hay, and in this bay is the firing platform. Then there is the communicating trench to the one behind. The plan that will be carried out will make the | whole scheme look like a spider's For Summer Camp | Hemming, afternoon and evening programmes. OVER 200 JITNEYS Are Now Carrying Soldiers To and From Camp. There are now well over 200 jit- neys carrying passengers from the camp to the city. It was at first thought that the work would fall flat on the removal of some of the battal- ions, but there-seems to be no differ- ence in the number on the road. The cars have certainly made mo- ney this year, although at the end of the season due to the condition of the road there will bé a big bill of depre- ciation in the value of some of the cars. { Constant running at a high rate of {speed over such a road tears the best {of cars to pieces, 'and only the most careful drivers will be able to keep this at a minimum. The trafic has been constant, however, and the cost of running will be more than over- come by the income from the trade. THE HEADQUARTERS STAFF Are Active Inspecting Officers At the Big Camp. The headquarters staff at Barrie field are certainly not only efficient office men, but also keep a close check on the work being carried on. One of the most familiar faces on all sides of the parade grounds is that of the Camp Commandant, Col. T. D. R. with his orderly, Capt. Kidd. At least twice a day, at 6 a.m., and about 10 a.m., these two of- ficers make a complete round of every battalion in camp. The General Staff officers and the others all have work which occasions them being through the lines several times each day, which brings them in close con- tact with the actual conditions. Three Hundred Pounds of Dripping. The dripping which comes from the meat cooked for the men always has caused a lot of argument in military circles as to how it should be disposed of. The dripping, according to or- ders, should be sold for the best ob- tainable prices, and the money put to extra messing for the men. It usu- ally sells for about ten cents a p d; and a battalion has about 300 pounds a month, : ; urtiss, Millbrook; Lance- Corpl. W, McIntosh, Peterboro; Pte. F. C. Simpson, Dr, Sarrazin, 8.
