Gadsby. | Allison : Official Gravel-Scratcher| 24 ee Ottawa, July 8.--The other day Sir Sam's special train conspired with a. level crossing to kill one mas, injure another and destroy a horse. But Sir Sam must have his special trains when on the country's business, So must Colonel Allison when he is "scratching gravel." And as a gravel scratcher Colonel John Wesley Allison seems to have beaten his best previous record, such was the inspiration he got from Sir Sam's cheerful manner. The words had hardly fallen from Sir Sam's lips when Colonel Allison began to scratch like a poultry farm, He found gravel everywhere he scratch- ed, ten per cent, being the minimum laceration, Nothing was too small to engage Colonel Allison's atten- tion as a gravel scratcher, He turn- ed lightly from a twenty-three mil- lion dollar order for fuses to a five hundred dollar order for bayonets, Canada was his gravel pit wherever he looked, Some people will be Inclined to ask, as Hartley Dewart did, why was It necessary for the 3ritish Admiralty to use Colonel Allison and his erowd as middlemen in its nego- tiations with - the Militia Depart- ment of Canada, for the purchase of three million rounds of "defective" ammunition which was not too de- fective to be used in machine guns, and why it was necessary to pay the Allison group a twenty-five per cent. profit on cartridges that cost them twenty dollars per thousand. The answer is simple enough. Colonel Allison was the official gravel- scratcher for Canada---having been appointed so by Sir Sam. This was part of the gravel he was expected to scratch, Ever since Colonel Allison got his orders to "scratch gravel" he has been 6n the job sixteen hours a day, perhaps more, In fact it is said that he cut down his sleep to keep up with the gravel train and that is why his health broke down. Happily his health is now restored and he can look forward to a serene old age, enlivened by troops of friends who will honor him as the most diligent, the most enterprising, and the most uniformly successful gravel scratcher in the Western Hemisphere, if not in the habitable universe, When Colonel Allison's children gather around his knees and ask: "Daddy, whom did you do in the great war," the Colonel will reply proudly, * It goes saying that it takes financial genius of a high or- der te seratch gravel as extensively Some people may think that it is easy to grab ten per cent. off the top, but just let them Wy. Even Colonel Allison might have found it hard to land orders If Sir Sam hadn't backed him up with kind words. When the Allies saw how much Sir Sam thought of Colonel Allison they na- turally coughed up all they had to the Morrisburg superpatriot. It may be Sir Sam's policy "to drive people like the Duke of Connaught out of the country, but we must remember on the other hand that it is his policy to induce people like Colonel John Wesley Allison to come in and take advantage of us. Meanwhile certain other matters seem to have escaped Sir Sam's EMPIRE FEDERATION SPECTACLE <TC. N. E. Brilliant Assembiage of Troops Representing All Sections of British Domains.

Sir Sam is still the Minister of Militia, his resignation of the of- fice and Premier Borden's alleged tenure of it being strictly for adver- tising purposes. Sir Sam does the work and that being the case it is a wonder that he had not thought be- fore now of appointing a Director of Recruiting. Recruiting is in a bad way in Canada right now. The impression seems to have got abroad that the five hundred thousand fig- ure set by Premier Borden is a bluff and all that is expected of the Mil- itia. Départment is to mark time, This sort of humbug does not please sincere officers who are really afix- iuos to raise new regiments, This indifferent spirit on the part of the Militia Department has filter- ed down to the young men on the street who believe now that the regi- ments are simply going through the motions and have no real desire to Hasten recruiting, Even the reeruit- ing sergeants feel this chill in the official air and when they are not black-guarding the crowd for not en- listing, or assaulting bystanders, be cause they will not "sign up," the are laughing at their own foolishness in kicking a dead horse. Recruit- ing Leagues are disbanding all over Canada, most of them with mutual recriminations, one prominent eiti Z sking the other 'why don't you g ' and similar invidious remarks a movement should re- garded as the highest sacramnet of patriotism has now, as, become a general source of irritation. What's more, it has descended to cheap tricks, such as planting converts in the crowds exhorted at the street corners and luring recruits that way. This apathy toward recruiting which has its Source in the Militia Department at Ottawa, may be ex- pected to continue so long as people think that the Government is not in earnest about it And the way the Government prove th it is in earnest Director of Recruiting, busy on a systematic plan and cut out the vaudeville stunts. Many people in Canada believe that no recruiting at all better than the mock efforts we are making now. The other d Government sus pended the Express for print- ing an editorial against further re cruiting in Canada, but even this in prove that the Gov in earnest about If the Govern more against Edi on the face! be can is by appoint who and gent the It ernment further recruiting ment has nothing tor Sniith than appear of the indictment it looks as if he was being made the goat, It is worth noting that the document which Colonel Chambers, the Chief Censor, produced as his authority for sealing up Editor Smith's prem ises was signed P. E. Blondin, retary of State, a gentleman who in times past publicly favored shooting holes through the Union Jack to let a little more freedom in Mr. Blon- din"s name at the foot of this royal document puts a very sharp edge on the joke. Meanwhile Mr. Bours y paper Devoir continues to pring dition of a kind that makes ~ the Sault Express editorial look like corn meal mush.
