14 PAGES BE-------- YEAR 83, NO. 214 FOR DFFERENT REASONS MEN: ARE IN THE SPECIAL SER- VICE COMPANY. Capt. W. J. Thorne Has Now 400 0Of- ficers, N. 0, 0.'s and Men in His "Company" Training for Various Objects, The Special Service Company, un- der Capt. W. J. Thorne and Lieut, J. H. Potts, seems to have found fits place in the camp and is filling a new and much needed position. There are now some 400 N. C. 0.'s and men in the company, and they are there for many different pur- poses. For certain reasons the Bay- onet Fighting and Physical Training company were taken from the three battalions and attached to this com- pany. There are also the officers who are going overseas with the next draft, and in the rank and file of the company is another mixed lot of men, There are men who have transferred to get overseas quickly, deserters who were arrested and brought back to the camp, men who are too young or too old to go and are content to *'do their bit" by taking guard duties. It'is a complete change from the uniform and regular formation of a battalion, but Capt. Thorne seems to be handling things nicely. There have been eight deserters from the 109th Battalion despatched overseas. Several men who were unfit have been discharged, and there are others who are carrying on guard duty. All men who are under the sge limit are put into the Special Service Company, and will be kept there until fit to stand the grind of a campaign. Seven men were transferred from the 154th to the 8B. 8. Company on Tuesday. In connection with the work that the Special Service Company is 'car- rying on there are now several mem- bers attending the Infantry School to qualify as instructors. They will be used during the winter months In training recruits in 'the mysteries of military work. Capt. MacGregor, was in Prescott in Tuesday. Ca Cannot be Cured with LOC.

Some very interesting addresses werp heard in Montreal by Capt. J. M. Wilson, Assistant Director of Den- tal Se , and Capt. 8. H. Simpson, of th fleld Camp clinic. The addresses re given by prominent dentists at the conference of the Can- adian Dental Association, and <dealt with many subjects of i{ntérest to the profession. One of the most~dnteresting was given by a French dental officer who lately returned from the front, and brought back with him much infor mation applicable to the Canadian Expeditionary Force men. He gave a lecture on repairing broken jaw- bones among other things, and this lecture proved particularly interest- ing. Sone work of the dentists in Canada had taken on new energy since the incorporation of the Canadian Army Dental Corps, and the wonderful work of the dentists was brought out at the conference. There are dental officers with many of the troops over- seas, and all have been filling, a valu- able place, and those at home were also doing their bit by putting the tnen's teeth in proper state of repair before leaving for England. There is an inspection of the teeth of the men on the firing line at least once a month, and great care is taken there to keep the men's chewing ap- paratus in perfect working order. \HE'S A FIGHTER And a Member of the Fighting 156th Battalion, Brockville.

There is one officer at the camp who deserves credit for being able fo meet an emergency, and it is Lieut.- Col. W. J. Brown, the popular Gen- eral Staff officer. When the message was received that Major-General F. L. Lessard was to arrive for an in- spection, the first thought was to see who would be the temporary succes- sor to Brig.-Gen. T. D. R. Hemming, Camp Commandant, who was called to Ottawa. Col. G. Hunter Oglivie Was on the sick list, and the task came on the shoulders of Col. Brown, who had to fill three positions. Lieut.- Col. H. R. Wilson, D. A. A. and Q. M. G., could have taken over the duties of 'Col. Oglivie had not he been away also, and for that reason Col. Brown had to temporarily fill three positions. . Needless to say he was able to meet the call. ---- CERTIFICATES GRANTED. Graduates and Probationers Lists Are Announced. The following certificates as ser- geants have been granted: A. Forbes, H.

Certain Merchants Cannot Compete in Selling Clothing to Discharged Soldiers. Kingston, Sept. 13.-- (To the Edi- tor): As a merchant of the city of Kingston and éne who has always heard the cry that "politics do not in- terfer with military matters," I would like to ask why the patronage list is being worked so extensively. Four your information I might say that the Government allows a credit of $10 to the soldiers who are dis- charged from the different battalions, or have returned from the front. These men then go.to any store they wish to name and buy a suit of clothes. The deal, however, is now working out that the men have to patronize only those merchants who are on the patronage list, and others are positively excluded. In consider- ation of the faet that it is the peo- ple's money thats being used, I can- not see why political influence is used to prohibit men from patroniz- ing any store they wish, as the origin- al order read. I have reason to be- lieve that a local politician had or- ders issued to the military authori- ties prohibiting them, from allowing the soldiers to trade at a certain store.--A Kingston Merchant.

The Message Received by Lieut. J. H. Z Potts, 8. 8. Company. Lieut. J. H. Potts, adjutant and quartermaster of the Special Service Company, received a telegram on Wednesday to leave at once for To- ronto, as his five-year-old daughter was dying. The little girl has n visiting in Toronto with Mrs. Potts, and the party was staying at a house of a relative. About a week ago the child took sick and had to be oper- ated on for appendicitis.

EXAMINE EVERY MAN MUSY UNDERGO A STRIOT EXAMINATION Capt. Hicks and Capt, MacGregor Are Now Engaged In Testing the Phy- sical Fitness of the 156th Battal ion Men. fe art * Capt. Hicks and Capt. MacGregor of the Queen's. Field 'Ambulance Corps, are now making an inspection | of the men of the 156th Battalion to determine how many men in Brockville unit, must be . rejected. These two offiters have almost con- cluded the inspection of the 154th and 155th which means that practi- cally every man has had to strip and be examined for the third time since enlistment, This last test is the most severe and on the finding of this medical board lies the fate of many men who wish to bo overseas. In connection with "the examination it might be said that the largest number of re- jections® comes from men who are under age. This very prevalent _cause is not being overlooked unless nature has endowed the man with a particularly strong constitution. Some of the rejections were heart- rending. The men who have been drilling for months and months now find that it i§ impossible for them to get overseas. In some. cases resort is made to political influence, but as far as the medical board 1s concerned none but the very best men physical- ly are to leave Barriefleld Camp an carry a reputation that would effect adversely Military District No. 3. MOVIES FOR 154th MEN Six Reels Are Shown on Tuesday and Friday Nights. The moving pictures for the men of the 154th Battalion are certainly proving a successful innovation. The officers of the battalion have arrang- ed for a regular service of six reels | twice a week from the Mutual Film| Company, and these are shown on Tuesday and Friday nights. The men | crowd the big reception tent on these | nights and have a splendid entertain. ment without leaving the camp lines. Capt. Robinson, adjutant, has a well organized orchestra in the bat talion, but pressure of work on him- self and other members of the orches- tra' bas stopped practices for the time being. They will resume, how- ever, when circumstances permit. The big reception tent is used on Monday, afin ay and Friday nights for lectures the officers of the batfalion, and is therefore almost always crowed. Undoubtedly it is one of the t investments made with battalion money. rE [MILITARY DEMONSTRATION TO | BE PUT ON FOR BIG EVENT. | Band of 155th Battalion to Be in At | tendance, and There Will Be a Dis- | play of Bayonet Fighting, etc. | Major G.

He will be in Kingston for |the week of the Industrial Exhibi- [ tion, and attend to the details of a big recruiting campaign to be. con | ducted at that time. For the exhibition arrangements are now being made to have a big | demonstration of military work to arouse keener interest in the train- ing the soldiers get before they are sent overseas. There will be bayonet and physical training demonstrations, and the work may be extended to the use of machine guns with live ammunition. The 155th Battalion ' band, through the kindness of Lieut.- Col. M. K. Adams, will be in attend- ance and give selections. For the recruiting addresses some | of the most prominent men of the | country are to be secured. THERESA -DIFFERENCE | | between the Zam-Buk method | of healing and that of ordinary ointments.
