The march will be taken on the same pleasant way as béfore and the only regret over the last one, which was to LeMoine's Point, was the fact that it was too shoft, Perhaps the General Staff Officer may change the present plans and lot: the men stay until Sunday but there are many considerations to be made and all cai not be met if the personal feelings of the men are all There is on thing sure, however, it will be Just as pleasant for the length of tinie it does last as the last one and for this reason every man in khaki want te be there, Before the last .scheme was carried out some men ---and officers, too---thought they were "putting one over" by dodging out of the way for the time being.

Filling "Holes With Coarse Sharp Pointed Stones That Cause Ex- _ tensive Damage to Tires. d The road to Barriefield is being fixed, but "fixed" seems to be the right word. It is a crime in the opinion of those who have daily travel over this short piece road to have it in its present condition. The patching. that is being done is useless, and while those in "chirge are doing the best possible under the circumstances, the Militia De- partment deserves the greatest cen- sure for allowing the present condi- tions to exist. A paltry sum of $2,- 000 has been appropriated "for re- pairing this roadway. From the top uf the hill to the end of the village the condition remains as ever, and from there to the headquarters road of the camp it is worse. There was oil once put on this road of holes and jagged rocks. Now there is a! complete coating of coarsely cruslied stones that simply "eats" automobile tires. There is on way to avoid them and no remedy "has yet been applied. Theré was some small stone spread, but it was lost in the wilderness of the coarser kind. Opposite the lines of the 154th Bat- talion the stone has been laid about four inches deep in the holes, and as these are numerous it is an im- possibility to get away over this piece without another lot of tire damage. The roller that was loaned by the city is being usgd on the camp roads, and it is doing good work. . Capt.

Two Soldiers Protect It With Rifles Ready and Bayonets Fixed Branch of Bank of Montreal. h the customary flourish of having two guards with fixed bayo- nets, the automobile carrying cash for the paying of the soldiers was in camp on Wednesday. The 'custom is to have the bat- talion paymaster issue cheques twice a month to the soldiers of their bat- tallions. These cheques are then cashed any place that the soldier wishes, but the Bank of Montreal does most of this work. It has es. tablished a branch on. the grounds that is opey for four days a month, and the only business transacted is the cashing - of the Government cheques. No deposits are accepted, and nothing else is handled. The money is brought up in an automobile, and beside the bank lerks are two soldiers with rifles ready with fixed bayonets.

This manoe- uvre naturally headed the pluggers off and deprived the boasted Tory organization of a great deal of its raw material. Outside the personal merits of the candidate the election was won on three positive issues--nickel, hydro- radial and the pernicious activities of Sir Sam Hughes. Mr. Dewart expos- ed. the operations of the nickel trust, its chief protagonist, the Hon. Frank Cochrane, his puppet premier Mr. Hearst, and his private lieutenants, Messrs. Ferguson and McGarry, The arguments are too recent to 'meed repeating. Suffice is to say that the International Nickel Company is tax- ed only $40,00 year on an output of thirty-sevenfmillion dollars worth of nickel matt§, which is handled by an American refinery and therefore leaves not a dollar resulting from one of our greatest natural resources in the country. What's more, the Inter- national selling our nickel for years 'to the Germans and has actually sent fifteen million pounds of it to>Germany since the war has®been on. There is a "gentleman's agreement" be- tween the Borden Government and fthe Nickel Trust that no nickel will 80 to Germany while the war is in progress, but how effective : that agreement is may be inferred from the fact that the submarine Deutch- land had no difficulty in getting all it could carry in "open market." sues, the manufacture of our own nickel. on our own coil, the control of the output so far as refusing to 'sell it to the 'enemies of the British Empire and adequate taxation of its side ot it.

The following anecdote illustrates how the people took it up. "Last year." said ap old man at one of Mr. Dewart"s meetings, "Lieut- cnant Blank went to the front. He weighed one hundred and twenty pounds whep he went away. He came home, the other day, dead of course, and be weighed one hunderd and nincty pounds. There ' was seventy pounds of Frank Cochrane's nickel in him." It was a parable of course, that the old man was relat- ing, but it states the case better than a much longer argument, Then there was Hydro-Radial. Mr. Dewart fell in behigd Sir Adam Beck on his great public \ywnership enter- prise. Sir Adam has to find his friends outside the party now because both the Borden Government and the Hearst Government are opposed to the project and do their best-to- clip his wings and curtail his power... The Hearst, Government incidentally seems to have caught a habit from the late, Roblin government--namely dating back orders-in-council, with a view to covering up their machina- tions against the public welfare.
