Webster ig acting as prose- cuting representative for the Militia Department in the matter, NO NEW BATTALIONS TILL NEXT MONTH It is learned om excellent authority that no new battal- fons are to be authorized until SeptémiBer. In this District there will be Lindsay, Belle- ville, Kingston and possibly Brockville districts to be allot- ted battalions for overseas. From this source it is learned that no announcements may be expected for the next four or five weeks at least. The reason may possibly be the revision of the recruiting system which is now being worked out. Sb b bbb bbb err bbb bere Brig.-Gen.

Is Very Representative of the Salva- tion Army of Kingston, and Carries Laurels in Competition With Other Units. A Jetter received from Valcartier says that the 146th Battalion has the best band at the eastern camp. It is a purely brass one, and plays Eng- lish music, thus making it the pride of the camp. The 146th band was organized on January 10th of this year with seventeen bandsmen, the majority of whom are from the Salvation Army of the city. It has grown steadily until now there are thirty- five musicians, and of these twenty- five are Kingstonians, eight are from Ottawa, and one each from Toronto and Montreal. In all the Salvation Army has contributed eighteen of the thirty-five men, while the 14th Regiment has sent three and three came from the 43rd Ottawa Regi- ment, It is indeed creditable to say that in the seven months since organized not one minor or major military crime has ever been recorded against any of its members, and this is one of the reasons why Lieut.-Col. C. A. Low, commanding the battalion, al- lows the men so many privileges. The bandmaster, Sergeant George Granger, is a Kingstonian, having been for eighteen years with the Sal- vation Army Band here. He was deputy bandmaster for eight years, and was bandmaster after Bandmast- er Christmas enlisted in the 59th Battalion for service overseas. Sergt. Granger was a member of the Can- adian S.A. Staff Band, which made quite a reputation by attending Con- gress in London, England, in 1905, Many a man with a good scheme lacks the required nerve to push .it through.

The whole room has been renovated and is now a picture of white paint and aluminum. There are 140 cadets at the college and all their food fis taken care of in this way.

McKinnon Held A Parade Of the 154th Battalion Among the many checks that the Militia Department keeps on every department is that of having an in- spector to call muster, parades to see that the parade states and pay ac- counts are correct, - Lieut. McKinnon who is in charge of the work for Military District No. 3, held a parade of the 154th Battalion' and found everything entirely satisfactory. Lieut.

"Ten officers and thirty N.C.0's. of battalions in various training camps will report te Lieut. V, €. Kerrison at Barriefield Camp on Saturday for a course in the School of Cookery. . The officers will be in attendance for 'a week, while the N.C.O's. will take a course of thirty working days, beginning on Monday. Object of the plans that will be changed will be that of bringing into the course a knowledge of interior economy and its relation to the mess- ing of a company. ¢-The school will be conducted as a unit with sections of a compihy. There will be a duty roster with an orderly sergeant by detail as in a company of a Lieut. V. €, Kerrison will command the school and Sergt.-Major Rolfe will be regimental sergeant-major. Each day an officer will be detatled to take command of the company. Another part that will be emphas- ised will be the out-door work ae complished by the school, On every possible occasion the class will cook their meals in the field, so that those in attendance may gain an insight into 'what conditions face the active service volunteers. Thrown From Motor Cycle. While coming down Princess street on Thursday, Lieut. V. C. Kerrison, C staff, had thrown off the motor cyétle he was riding and dashed to the pavement. He was fortunately not seriously in- jured, although his clothes were torn. The cause of the accident was the wet pavement, and one wheel of the motor cycle eatehing in the groove of the street oar rail. ---- Pictures were taken on Thursday morning of Lieut, B. A.
