TWO CITIZENS INTERFERE WITH THE siarar? * MACHIN- ERY OF THIS DISTRICT One Is a Politician, the Other a Jack- of-All-Trades--They Alm to Get Votes, But Théir Game May be Spoiled. A pewspaper man who recently re- turhed from overseas, said to the Whig "Take it from me, the kicks that are being made by people in Canada mow in the name of réturned soldiers, seldom, if ever, originate with men who have seen the firing ine 'Its the man who never reach- ed Krance, probably not England, or even Halifax, who is doing the kick- ing." This surprising statement certain- ly is borne out by recent'facts that have come to light locally. Certain changes have been made and these it it well understood originated not by returned soldiers, but through two civilians, one a politician dhe other, a cosmopolitan character. They seem to be amount of work presumably for the returned heroes. In one case they forced the resignation of a lieutenant who was selected by his officer com- manding for an overseas draft. The officer commanding is a man who has been through many months of French warfare, but who, on his de- turn is not allowed to make his own selection of officers because of the in-! terference of two civilians. The public seems to grasp 'the ex- tent to which civilian Interference is working into the military machin- ery of this district. Only recently a conference between the military authorities and these two eivilians was held. It resulted in the resigna- tions of two of the most experienced officers. Both have tried to go over- seas, but have failed. Now their ser- vices are lost to the country. The Whig is quite sure that the re- turned soldiers will be able to think for themselves and will certainly spoil the plané of those who think their votes may be coralled.
