HE'S SOME IMPERSONATOR 156th BATTALION MAN IS FORM- ER ACTOR-AND CAUSES FUN. Dressed as a Woman He Visited Sev- eral Officers and Was Invited to Come Back. "Would you be kind enough to please tell me where I might find your chaplain," was a message given in a sweet female voice to a certain officer at the camp, who is now being joked over the incident. The voice came from a strikingly dressed young lady (?), who in a modest manner wanted the chaplain. With every re- gard to her comfort and convenience the officers--as officers usually do-- put himself out to bring the chap- lain to his visitor. The developments were rapid, particularly as both af- terwards realized that they had been taken in by a former actor, who now wears the uniform of the 166th Bat- talon. Pte. Lalonde has a whole outfit of clothes at the camp with him, and a few days ago he started in to have some amusement. His make-up was perfect and his actions are still caus- ing much laughter. There are still a lot of officers and men at Barriefield who, in spite of this warning, will be "taken in" by this accomplished actor and imper- sonator.

McCormick Is Doing Good Work There, And Will En- large On Accomodation--Six Men Join "C" Battery. It was reported at Tete du Pont Barracks, on Monday morning, that a local club of six men, who are eligible for overseas service, have decided to get into uniform by join- ing "C" 'Battery Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. The opinion at the barracks is frankly given that there are probably a hundred Kingstonians who will answer the call in the next few weeks and join this unit. The recruiting for the last few days has slackened somewhat there being only twelve coming up from the eastern city in the last week. This is simply a lull, however, as many more men who have first to transfer their business interests, will be coming this week. The recruiting office there has been beéseiged by the very best class of men who have come to make inquiries and find out various matters about the service. Many of these will likely return after considering the matter and will be in the city in the next' tew days.

At an enthusiastic meeting held at Ottawa the Overseas Rugby Football League became a reality. Four clubs entered, and it was de- cided to play seqtional games in the east and west, with a play-off at the close of the season. Kingston did not enter, but it is understood that the Barriefield team, which is being coached by Nick Balf, will meet the Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto and Mont- real clubs in exhibition matches. - It was decided to proceed with the organization. of ia. league, and _the following officers were elected: Hon. orary presidents, Lieut.Col.

The final game in each series must be played on or before Saturday, No- vember 11th. The Ottawa team has practically arranged a game against the Queen's University team for Saturday, Oct. 7, and will play the final match of their home-and-home series against Montreal here on Monday, October 9. Thanksgiving Day. The turn game will likely take place at Montreal the following Saturday. The following week the clubs will arrange for a home-and-home series between the winners of the western and eastern districts, On the latter, expenses will be borne equally and the proceeds divided on a fifty-fifty basis. All the teams have already begun practices, and it is expected that the khaki league, with a generous share of pub- lie support, will prove a decided suc- A CAP RUGBY TEN MAJOR PONTON WILL SUGGEST CLUB AT MEETING OF OFFICERS, Last year at Barriefield a rugby team was organized and went to To- ronto, and in a game with a team from Niagara camp secured over $3,- 000, part of which went to the bat- tery funds and the remainder into buying a piano and other things for the Elmhurst Convalescent Home. With such a magnificent body of men in training, 'there should be ample material for another team that would be more than equal the 1915 aggregation. A movement was start- ed some time ago to organize one, but Capt. N. Baw, who was father- ing the movement, was called to Cornwall on recruiting duty. The matter has again been revived, and Major R. D. Ponton has been reguest- ed to broach the matter at a meeting of officers called for Wednesday night. There is great enthusiasm for such a team to be organized, and it would bring credit to the camp in a way that nothing else would do. The boys are anxious for some one to start the movement, and there would not be the slightest trouble in getting any number out to practice. The Whig after being approached on a number of occasions gives pub- licity to the idea, and hopes with many others that it will be taken up and carried to a successful conclu- sion. 8 To REORGINZE BAND 156th BATTALION WILL HAVE A MUSICAL ORGANIZATION.

The bandsmen went into the ranks and are still with the bat- talion. The other officers and men of the battalion are very anxious for a reorganized band to be established, and as soon as a successful and satis- factory one is organised the colonel will likely reissue the lustruments, which are among the finest in the country. 4 SHORTAGE OF RAILS IN CANADA REAL PROBLEM, Situation Due to Utilization of Plants for of Munitions.
