The school of cookery is carrying on a splendid work at the camp in teaching not only N.C.0.'s to cook the army rations to the best advant- age, but of giving this valuable in- struction to officers. At almost regular intervals there comes up in almost every battalion some trouble over the cooking. As in a home, when the housewife is out visiting and returns late, the hus- band gets a meal that often starts a family row. In a battalion, when through a little inattention on the part of those in charge the regular routine works out in such a way that the soldier coming off the hot dry pa- rade grounds does not receive all Include Those As Machine Gunners, Sergeants.

MacDonell is a graduate in Arts of Queen's University and broke out and has since been either at the front with No. 6 Field Com- pany, Canadian Engineers, or in hos- pital in England, recovering from a wound in the right knee. Lieut. MacDonell enlisted original- ly in No. 5, FL.C.E., and went to Quebec with that unit. Later a call was made for men and he enlisted for overseas, going with a contingent to Ottawa where, after training No. f Company was formed. No. - Company of the C.E.¥. was turned into a French company though la- ter it reverted into being an lish company. one day caught Lieut. MacDonell with a bullet in the knee, and he had the firing line. He was recalled to Canada and granted a commission in the 154th Battalion While in England he met several Queen's boys and re- ports that all are doing splendidly. Army and Navy.

It is in the clay belt and on the border of the mining country, and it is no wonder to one who has been over the country that its representative Lieut.
