he ain re HR vid is Bi ONDAY, JULY 10, 1916. 2 KINGSTON, ONTARIO, AN IPORTANT DISCOVERY MADE AT THE SCHOOL OF SIG- NALLING AT THE OAMP Wireless Receiving Apparatus Found to be Able to Take Independent Messages Sent by Low Tension Ourrent to 4 Buzzer Some Ninety Feet Away--Undoubtedly the Un- discovered System Ul by Ger- mans to Read Allies' Messages, The secret of how the Germans have been able to learn the contents Of the messages sent from the Al- lied headquarters to the front line of trenches of the firing line has been discovered and the discovery was made at Barriefield camp quite accidentally on Saturday, It is re- coguized as one of the most import- ant tions yet obtained since the war began and should without doubt have a great bearing on the case in future if precautions can be taken against it. All messages from the-army head- quarters of the Allied armies are sent to the 'officers in command at the front over wires that are strung for miles and miles along the shell torn ground. This fine wire is be- ~ing constantly broken and repaired by men of the engineers but on the whole the service Is good and with such an extra number of lines there is seldom if ever a lack of communi- cation between those on the firing line and the headquarters staff many niles away. Sergt. Hicks, operator at Barrie- field camp was working at his instru- ment on Saturday afternoon when he heard over his receiving instru- ment a message that he knew could not be sent from any wireless sta- tion within his receiving lim'ts. It was a lesson on the Morse code. Suddenly it dawned that it must be coming from a busser that was work- ing in another tent some ninety feet away. The electricity that was pass- ing along the wires to the buzzer for that lesson in the Morse code was being absorbed and becoming active over the wireless receiving appartus. | This unheard-of thing is undoubt-/ edly what the Germans have long known and used, in some cases, with good advantage against the Allies An order to advance became instant- ly known to them and everything that should not have got to their ears was instantly in their posses- sion. Great importance is attached to the discovery in official circles and it will likely start many more in- quiries of a scientific nature in how this occurred and just the cause of the wireless instrument receiving the impulses from the telegraph wires some ninety feet away with. _ - Whig + BARRIEFIELD CAMP No. Free Bulletin Service at Press Headquarters, Next Y.M.C.A.

Afternoon Music Box For 136th The 156th Battalion has an organ or at least a musical instrument that can be telescoped into a box no larger than a suft-case. The won- derful music box was presented by a Brockville resident to Capt. Hagar, chaplain of the battalion, and it will shortly be installed in the recreation tent of the battalion.

S. A. Thompson, G.8.0., cover more advanced work than that used up to now. The sub- jects will deal more with route marching discipline as this branch of the training is always recognized as very beneficial and will be gone into more deeply. Route marches are planned for every Saturday morning. This takes in the fiting of equipment and also that of move- ments in extended order and the use of the rifle on such occasions, The route marches taken by all the sol- diers in camp under the command of Col. T. D. R. Hemming, camp commandant, will be straight march- ing with occasional rests, but field movements will be carried on as soon as the training has advanced for enough for that work. One subject that will be dealt with in lectures will be that of co- operation, comradeship and disre- gard of self in war. On this topic the lectures will give a complete sur- vey of the personal element in war and how the object of united action rather than' personal efforts of a combined mass must be followed to win success, by the instructors.

This work is becoming more and | more recognized--in fact to such an extent that other camps in Canada | will likely follow the example of Barriefield and organize such a train- ing system in this witally important branch of the work. As in many other moves Barrie- field camp has shown initative in in- stituting a School of Cookery, and through its initial stages and the con- sequent hardships that any new move meets with this School has won out. Its adoption by other camp commandants is now being talked of and the move is a compli- ment to those at Barriefield camp who fought so hard to start and keep this school in existence. cas- Total casualties ... ... .. 84 Leeds and Grenville (exclusive of Brockville) show the following: -- Wounded ... ... «3+ ov. \.. 6 MIBSING ... =. sci aeons Wounded and Missing ...

Many visitors were at the camp on Sunday dfternoon. Among those to the 156th Battalion was "Gus' Por- ter, M.P,, Belleville. He had dinner with the officers of the 155th on Sunday and afterwards made a short address expressing his enthusiasm in what was being done by Lieut.- Col. M, K. Adams and his staff of officers and how the battalion was being remembered by the people at home. Mrs. Porter accompanied him. ' Other visitors to the Battalion over the week-end included Mrs, Stewart, Mrs. Hammond, (wife of the transport officer,) C. Gladney, Marmora, brother of Capt. Gladney, who went overseas with the 80th Battalion and Dr. and Mrs. Potts and son, Sterling. All were given a hearty welcome to the camp and made a thorough inspection of its many interesting points. BENEFICAL ROUTE. MARCH HELD ON SATURDAY WITH SOL- DIERS AT THE CAMP Col. T. D. R. Hemming, Camp Com- mandant, in Command of Huge Parade of 4,000 Soldiers--Route Was to Grass Creek and Total Dis. tance Covered Was Some Twelve Miles, The route march held on Satur- day afternoon under the command of Col. T. D. R. Hemming, camp com- mandant, was the most successful yet carried out. All of the soldiers in the camp that could be spared from their duties were on parade and marched to Grass Creek some five miles down the Gananoque road. Few men had to drop out in spite otf the fact that the weather was very warm. The men are getting into splendid condition and they showed how beneficial the training at the 'Camp is by the way that the march was carried out. The return to the Camp was made with practically 8very man walking erect with head high and shoulders well back. The men were all fully dressed as for divine services, Great importance is attached to route marches. The 21st Battalion became what it has proved itself to be one of the finest of battalions by their many route marches through the city. That and many other sim- Har experiences of training bat- talions has shown the camp com- mandant their value and he is carry- ing out as many as possible so that the men at Barriefield will be made more ready for their work in the firing line trenches, SECOND SECTION 2 of EXCURSIONZTO THE Xe FROM STORMOUNT, DUNDAS AND GLENGARRY COUNTIES Coming to Visit Men of the 154th Battalion--Lieut.-Col. A. G. Mac- Donald and Staff are Planning for a Hearty Welcome to 600 Visitors Coming on July 22nd From Eas- tern District. On Saturday, July 22nd, there will arrive in the city some 500 people who will be coming to visit with their friends in the 154th Stormount, Dundas and. Glengarry counties Battalion. Arrangements are being made for this move at Lancaster and other points in the district where the Scotchman battalion was recruited, and word has been sent to Lieut.- Col. A. G. F. MacDonald, command- ing the 154th that it be arranged for the 22nd of the month. A hearty welcome will be given the visitors at the camp and it is likely that the colonel will make some special ar- rangements to show the appreciation by the battalion of the excursionists' interest in their welfare." When the train arrives it will bel met by a string of automobiles to convey the people directly to the camp. The big recreatiog tent of the battalion will be thrown open for their use and here the people may meet and mix with their friends and relatives in khaki. In the aftermoin it is already planned to have the battalion parade and give examples to the visitors of the work being performed every day. The pipe band will be very much is evidence and add much to the wel- come to the visitors, it should prove to be ome of the biggest events for the men of the 154th Battalion and Col. MacDonald and his staff have decided that if human effort will make a welcome a success it will be accomplished. Hospital Cases At the Field Hospital last week 126 cases were treated or inspected by the medical officers. This shows clearly the excellent sanitary condi- tions prevailing at the camp when so few men have to report sick when the camp's population is well over 5,000. The number entered for each day last week was: Sunday 8, Monday 12, Tuesday 27, Wednesday 21, Thursday 22, Friday 21, Satur- day 15. Lieut, W, H.
