This patriotic old oity would give him a welcome befitting his position as commander of the Canadian Army at the front. The Brockville Recorder and Times suggests that the H.C.L. needs a charge of TNT. As that explosive usually has the effect of sending things up in the air, we hardly think it would be the proper thing to use. Why net let Lieut.-Col.
