It will be remembered that the general returned only a short time ago from the front, and has since then been engaged inspecting troops about to go over. He went to Valk cartier, and the best soldiers there "got their's" in a way that made them work harder in an.effort to make a better name for themselves. Though harsh, the general showed his broadmindedness, however, and was just as free with congratulations as with censure. His visit to Barriefield Camp has been hourly expected for the last two been cancelled repeatedly, until there was almost a feeling of discontent raging, It was quieted 'by the wise action of Gen. Hemming in allowing the regular leaves to be granted. eral was to arrive to-day a call was sent out and all the officers on leave were recalled, and informed to call in the men who were not absent on sick leave. This brought many into the camp, and befofé Gen. Lessard leaves on Thursday night he should be well acquainted with what the battalions are made up of. It will be a grilling test, but no one worries as to the final outcome when the con- dition of the troops is taken into consideration. Barrie battalion | officers have Valeartier's experience before them, and will not try to "put anything over" on Gen. Lessard, for it cannot be done. "Returned to England.

The favorite fall sport seems to be association foot-ball but there are many who would like to have rugby boosted. The reason that rugby has not al- ready taken a strong hold is the lack of time in which the men may be trained. 'It is claimed that men may the asseciation game quicker, but there are still hopes for a second Barriefield rugby team. Last year it will be remembered | that a team from the camp drew a largh crowd at the Stadium in To- against the team from Niagara Camp. With more men here there is mo reason why a second team could not be brought together and if the proper spirit was introduced into pushing the projeet another excursion might be arranged to bring renown to the old camp grounds. Camp Notes | The troops will leave the camp for Gananoque at 8.30 a.m., Saturday. Capt. H, Blair, C.F.A., has return- ed from a trip to 'Ameriod, Sask. visiting relatives.

As one man said, "There will be some- thing doing every minute," and the plans point to the truth of the state- ment, " On Wednesday and Thursday of this week Major-General F. L. Les- sard, Inspector-General of the East- ern Canadian Forces, occupies the centre of the stage, and is giving the soldiers a thorough inspection. On Friday there will be an exhibi- tion of bayonet fighting and physical training, at which, in all probability, Major-General Hodgins, Adjutant- General of Canada, will be in attend- ance; On Saturday morning at 8.30 o'clock the troops leave for Ganano- que, and will be in that place or on. the road to and from it during the whole of Saturday, Sunday and Mon- day.

Lieuts. McPhee amd Allen. will be the' officers for the trip and thirty trained soldiers will be taken. "The men are being drilled every day and should certainly bring credit on themselves for their work, which on the parade ground is certainly good: This will be one of the very few opportunities that the people of that district will ever have of seeing a machine gun in actual operation, and thousands of residents are expected to take advantage of the chance. The demonstration as at present planned will consist of a display of machine gun work and bayonet fight- ing, as would be the case under actual service" conditions. # Certificates Granted. Certificates of qualification as ser- geants have been granted to the fol- lowing sergeants of the 156th Bat- talion: A. J. Whithall, oo. W. 0. Sturgeon, Lemmon, A. J. Burchill, H. Flucher, W.

WRELESS I TO BE USED MAJOR MUNDELL, COMMANDANT SOHOOL OF SIGNALLING Has Authorized Its Uso on the Gan- anoque Trek an Thore Is a Possi- bility of It Going To Baockville, . It has been decided that the wire- less apparatus will be taken on the trek to Gananoque and if it can be used successfully as at Parrott's Bay --about the same distance away-- it should be valuable in keeping up communication between the troops and the camp. It will be remember- ed that at Parrott's Bay, Gen. Hem- ming was able to send several mes- sages to Col. Oglivie and it is hoped that the same success will be met with on the eastern trip. . There is a possibility of the ap-' paratus being taken on the trek to Belleville to see exactly what range can be secured. It is not definitely known what the limits to ita sending and receiving areas are but if they are less than (fty-thrée miles they may be determined when the battal- tons leave -for-BeHewllerw min So far, great success has been made with the wireless outfit at Bar- riefield. Sergt. Inst. Hicks is in con- stant communication with the port- able station when it is erected at some distant point and on several occasions long tries have been made. In 'every case messages could be ex- changed however without difficulty. In view of the way the apparatus is working, there is no reason why It should not be used even when the soldiers march to Belleville, Brig.-General T. D. R. Hemming, G.0.C.; Capt. T. A, Kidd, A.DC.; and Lieut.<Col, 8. A. Thompson, G.8.0., left on Tuegday night for Ot- tawa to inspect the 207th and 230th Battalions and attend a garden party being given by the Duke of Con- naught. 3 Rev, Mr. Horsfield, evangelist of Coney: Island, is giving interesting addresses at the camp. He spoke to the men of the 154th on Monday night and in the military Y.M.C.A. on Tuesday night. Bring Smiles ec New Post Toasties were perfected to overcome 'the defects of old-style corn flakes.
