Kidd, M.C,, 21st Battalion chaplain, who was re Th ed as wounded on Thursday, is a temporary major according © al London despatch. Capt. J. D, Grimshaw, formerly pastor of the Union Street Baptist | Church, has been made a temporary major. Capt. H. C. Wotherspoon, of the Royal Military College, has been at- tached to fhe School of Musketry, Camp Borden. a On account of the moonlight 'ex- cursion on Thursday, there was little stir in the sports line at Barriefield camp. Only one game of soft ball took plage, and afterwards the "Y" put on a programme of 'movies' to a fair sized house, This afternoon at 5.30 o'clock the ball teams representing Cyclists and Special Service met in an exhibition game, Oyelists' hardest league game will be Monday with Engineers. The "dope" calls the latter to win. The "Y" refreshment booth got off ta a good start yesterday. The whole plan presents a business like appear- ance helped to n great extent by the addition of complete counters and show cases recently turned out by Anglin & Co. The electric lighting was installed yesterday, as well as a post box, and with the co-operation of the ladies of the 1.O.D.E,, this latest addition to the Y.M.C.A. should fill many needs around the camp. Already many visitors have dropped in and commented on fhe smart appearance of the booth, Lieut. McCarthy of the AMC. who was spiked in Jast week's base- ball game between A.M.C, and En- gineers, is still quite lame. He is one of the stars of the Medicals and will certainly be - required for the final game next week, Catcher Minnick of Specials will not arrive in time for to-days game, s0 a substitute will take his place. The course now in progress at the School of Signalling will be the last at Barriefield Camp. There is to be no more signalling instruction given in Canada, according to a recent or- der; and that means the "finals" to an organization which during its short life has done a tremendous amount of good work. The School of Signalling started over a year and a half ago under Major D. E. Mundell, district sig- nalling officer. He was assisted by Capt. J. C. K. Munsie, who until re- cently was commanding the Special Service Company. The instructors were Sergts. Reid, Redding and Hicks. Other men who have since gone overseas were also engaged in instructional work at various times, This was the first infantry camp in Canada to have a wireless school, and last year dozens of young men received a good insight into this work. During the treks taken by the battalions last year the sehool furnished a means of communication with the camp. Since last fall there has bean very little doing in signalling work. There: have been few soldiers to train, and those have not been sig- nalling specialities. It has now been decided to close the school, and all signalling instruction will be given in England. Capt. C. A. Billings has received no further word as to his hrother Hugh in the Royal Flying Corps be- ing missing. The message received wag vague and more information is being secured. Major Wa=J. McManus has been temporarily detailed for duty with tlie First Eastern Ontario Depot Bat- talion, which is commanded by Lieut.-Col. R. W. Smart. Capt. L.- D. Stevenson has been struck off the C.E.F. and transferred to duty at Queen's Military pital y Lipnt. Harold S. Wilson, who is officially reported .as wounded, is well known here.

Kingston, Aug. 17.--(To the Edi- tor): I was both surprised and dis- tressed upon picking up your .issue of the 16th inst, to find myself cre- dited with having made the state- ment that the farmers were allowing a lot of their hay to rot in the field rather than pay the high wages de- manded by those few available-men who were willing to work on farms, I regret that your reporter should so have misconstructed any remarks I made to him and take the first op- portunity .to right this mistaken im- ppression. The lateness of thé hay harvest is, not the least doubt, due to the poor haying weather during the first part of July, and the scarcity of experi- enced help, and while'some hay may, not be harvested this will not be the farmers' fault, for much credit is due them for the splendid way they have tried to 'make the best of both situ- ations mentioned above, I feel sure that many a city man would do well to follow the farmer's example and peel off his coat and "lend a helping hand in this time of need, as these farmers, who are {through with their own hay, are do- ing service for their neighbors. This to me would seem a true evidence of the spirit of greater production, of which we hear so much about. --A. W.
