Willlam G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, in a telegram sent to- day to Health Commissioner Emer- son, stated that the burean of im- migration, which Is a part of the treasury department, had giten in- structions to its agents at Montreal to permit the entrance into the United States of the nurses .

The call is made for funds with which to purchase colors for the 146th Battalion. Practically every battalion is presented with colors before going overseas. Of the three battalions now at Barrie- {| field Camp, the 155th Baltalion has already been presented: with colors, and the 154th and the 156th aré to receive theirs in the course of a few days. We are satisfied that the people of Kings- ton and Frontenac are just as ready to homor their home battalion as other centres have shown themselves ready to honor battalions recruited within their bounddries. Colors mean much to a: bat- , talion. They are a tangible expression of a people's confidence. They are a constant source of inspiration to officers and men, in- spiring them to so conduct themselves on and off the field of battle that they w:ll ever shed lustre on their colors and show themselves © worthy of the trust reposed in them. The 146th Battalion, in its bulldog tenacity, in its aims and its accomplishments, in its moral and physical stamina, has proven itself 'worthy of colors. The people of the city and the county have been good to the Frontenacs, and their generosity has not-been wasted . on 'the desert air. A fitting climax to all 'this goodness would be the presentation of colors to the battalion, which would cause its cup * of joy to overflow.
