With 21500 mex, every one of whom is in the very best of physical condition, there are large numbers who know the game and a very su- perior team could be formed. Last year it will be remembered there was $6,000 raised for patriotic purposes through the game in To- ronto, and though the 'locals got the | short end of the score, $2,600 was brought down to the Limestone City and much of it remains, in the way | of a plano at the Elmhurst Conval- escent Home and equipment in that and other places com- enter- officers' The or- Lieut.-Gol. - M.

A PRISONER IN GERMANY ARTHUR SLOANE WRITES VERY CHERRY LETTER TO MOTHER Mentions Need of Food, and Is Very Thankful for Parcels Sent to Him --Says There: Are Many More Kitcheners in England. A former Kingstonian, who was born and raised In this city, but who moved to Toronto, is now a prisoner of war in Germany. He is Arthur Sloane, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Langemarch. He is twenty- six years old, and previous to his en- listment with the 43rd Battalion, Q. O R., First Contingent, he was in the employ of Keen's Manufacturing Company. 2 Pte. Sloane has written a letter to his mother in which he says:, "I'am not s6 fussy about my diet as 1 used to be. Can eat anything now, from straw to snakes. I germer- ally get a cravifg for something nice just when there is nothing in the lar- der, especially cake, but we manage to get along. Four of us mess to- gether.

SECRETARY RETURNING TO LONDON HOME, LE EE EE EER Has Completed a' Satisfactory Season of Work at Barriefield Camp--His Successor is George W. Fisher. Sixty-seven years ago the Yohng Men's, Christian Association was started for the intellectual, mental and moral improvement of the young men of this country. Twenty-five years ago Thomas Wilkie, now an old man in California, conceived the idea of carrying the work into military fields, and he laid the foundation for a system that new extends not only over Canada, but to the field of France and Flanders, even to the first line of trenches. The branch of that wonderful or- garttZzation has been carrying on very satisfactorily at Barriefield under the able management of F. R. Wilson, secretary of the London, Ont., in- stitute. He leaves on Tuesday with the satisfaction of having accom- plished much. His successor is to be George W. Fisher, who is on the list for overseas service The. work at the London institute has been calling Mr. Fisher for some time, but it was only lately that it was known that Mr. Fishef would be in Canada long enough to take over his work at Barriefield. The camp is indeed fortunate in securing such an able successor, and while many will regret the departure of Mr. Wilson, they can be satisfied'that the work will be well carried on in his absence bbb tdd id tilssssa - OVERSEAS NEXT MOVE, + he Major-General F.

Though winter is still a long way off, the Militia Department has com- menced making the necessary ar- rangements. The department has al- réady asked for and received infor- mation as to where supplies wijl be delivered. The latest request was for/information as to the accomoda- tion this district was able to furnish. To give the latter information, Capt. Palmer, camp engineer, sent a circular letter to the reeves of the various municipalities a%¥ing : what room would be given for quatering soldiers through the winter. The an- swers came back thick and fast; and it was soon learned that probably 10,000 soldiers could be taken care of. As It is not expected that this dis- trict can raise quite that many dur- ing the winter; all of the places will not be taxed to capacity. As mentioned in a message pub- lished in Friday's issue from Ottawa, the department does not intend to follow the experiences of, last year, which for sanitary reasons proved very bad. The larger places will be called on to furnish quarters. An added requirement this year will be the necessary room for physi- cal training and bayonet fighting. i This demands a large shed or armouy- | ies of some description, in which the | muscles of .the recruits may be de- | veloped, even if the weather outside is not mild As far as Kingston {s concerned |there is a great possibility of there being one battalion and five batter- les again stationed here, The Fron fenac County Battalion, or Queen's University Battalion, or whatever is authorized, will be stationed in the city. The various departments of thig district have baen asked to suh mit recommendations for the eon- duet of their departments during the winter months, and are now facing the questions before them.
