PAGE TWELVE WHAT CLASS ARE You No MAJOR G GIVES INTERESTING FACTS He States That He Sees in Conscr ip- tion the Only Salvation of the Country--Preseuts Some Figures. Major CG. 1. Campbell, cruiting officer, was interviewed by the Whig on his opinion of conscrip- tion and as to conditions in the dis- trict He sald: "This war has produced a tre- mendous change. Four years ago the whole Dominfon would have re- sented the idea of conscription. My own opinfon was that the whole number of men necessary might have been secured by the voluntary system. I have done my utmost to secure those results. 1 never was a conscriptionist, but I must confess that after my recruiting experience and after consultation with busi- ness wen in Boards of Trade, City Councils. and in various walks of life I have become a conscriptionist. I feel and have felt for some time that the only rational way to carry on a great war such as this 1s by the con- scription of men and money, I am strongly in favor of national control of both men, nrunitions and food. "There lag been a great stimulus to recruiting since the Premier's conscription announcement, and we have been making plans to have a recruiting officer in every town and village for.all branches of service. To register recruits is an order that we are now urging more than ever. "The results of the national ser- vice show that there are 3,687 men in class 1A. These represent young men, 18 to 30 yeary of age, unmar ried, without dependents and not on a farm Class 2A numbers 4412, and represents those of the same age but married and with dependents and live on a farm. Class 3A totals 2,421 in number, and these are un- married and not on a farm but have dependents. Class 3B totals 5,780, and are those who, working on farms are gnarried and have depend- ents. The grand otal of eligible men is therefore 12,410, according to the National Service records. "These names have been card-in- dexed and a large number of the men personally interviewed. The re- sults have not been great. In view of these facts I 'heartily welcome conscription. It is the only method of securing sufficient men to keep up the rapidly depleting "ranks." "However," said the major, "mili- tary district No. 3 has much to be proud of. Considering the fact that it is largely rural--Ottawa is the only city of over 100,000 within its boundaries--the résults of the vol- untary system have been most grati- fying. We have recruited 47,213 men' of a population of about 630,- 000.

CAMPBELL, (.R.0,} A JAPANESE MODERNIST. - Urged to Dropping of Quaint Na- tional Customs, Mr. Saito Man, a* Japanese essay- ist, picked up recently, in Tokio, a block-printed vernacular book, pub- lished January, 1873, entitled, ""Civ- lization and Enlightenment," laud- ing the "western" ways then newly popular in Japan, and quotes liter- ally frm it to show how marvellous has been the advamece in Japanese ways in thaf\less than half a cen- tury. The chapters inelure: Why we should abandon queue. Why we should wear such clothes as are fit for work, Why we should always hats. : Why we should put on boots. Why we should build strong houses. Wby we should not dislike eating meat. Why we should revere the gods. Why we should not believe miracles, Why there are no ghosts world. Why foxes and badgers do not be- witch human beings. Why we should not worship every worthless man as a god. On the matter of 'wearing hats, the author says: "The peoples of various nations wear various kinds of hats on their heads. That is a good and proper custom. The only people in. the world who do not wear hats are the Japanese, and we should be ashamed before the rest of mankind. But this is only a modern habit, for till two or three hundred years back the Jap- anese of*all ranks, farmers, me- chanics and tradesmen, had worn eboshi (head gear like a coronet), but later on the lower class people of various vocations were forbidden to wear eboshi, s0 that they might be differentiated from those of higher classes. . Japan is the only country whose people wear nothing to cover the nakedness of their heads. . The one thing we do not understand about the for- eigners wearing bats is that they take them off when they salute one another. It seems to us that they should keep their hats on their heads when they salute. Suppose you are naked and a riend enters your room, then you will surely wear clothes before greeting. However, the for- eigners are a reasoning people and must have a good reason for taking their bats off when they meet one another." In the matter of reasons for eating meat he is just as cogent. "Many people," he says, 'eat meat 'o brag of it, though they dislike it sheart. Such people are secre iy of visiting temples and shrineficafter eating meat."--East and West, '¢ Central Powers' Money / The announcement im. a 'Swiss journal that Austria-Hunga!
