THE FINAL EXAMINATION MAKES (IT EMBARRASING FOR THOSH WHO ARE DISCHARGED It Causes Loss Of Good Positions, and Leaves Brand Of "Unfit" On Good Citizens--Large Batch Of Disappointed Men, . The Whig has been asked on sev- eral occasions what circumstances can justify men being trained as -ol- diers for months and then discharg- ed. The answer given officially, is that they are medically unfit, but no answer is made to the suggestion that the unpleasant action should have been taken at the time of en- listment, There are to-day, at (Barriefield Camp, and on leave in the city, prob- ably 200 men who for over three months were under the impression that they could go overseas, After three (in many cases mora) months, a medical board decided that they were not fit. During the time that the men were allowed to drill as a member of "am 'overseas unit, many closed thelr places of business, re- signed their fons, and successors were appointed. The final medical baord puts them into a most un- pleasant position, Their friends, who for months, saw them as soldiers, find that they have been branded as medically unfit. After many inquiries, on the part of the men themselves the whole question comes to the case of whether or not sufficient primary precautions are jaken, Every recruit should be made to pass his final medical. examination, before putting on the uniform. This would end what has so far proved to result in very embarrasing positions for some of our best citizens. PF.

Ah, gentlemen remember that. it is not on England that Germany throws her forces, it is on France and Belgium. If England had refused to.give her aid, those who say we should not fight for England would be the first to accuse England. "Gentlemen, for my part, I want to fight for England, and also France.

The result of the course in equi- tation, recently conducted for some of the officers of the units at Barrie- field, reflect the greatest credit on Sergt.-Major Inst. Bramah, of the R.C.H.A. who was 'instructor in the work. The course was held at the Riding School, on Bagot street, and the results showed that in spite of the fact that green horses were in use, the officers did splendidly. ' On Friday morning, Lieut.-Col. W, J. Brown, G.8.0., and Major J. Ham- ilton, A.D. of 8. and T., and Lieut, Grange, A.8.C,, conducted the exam- inations, and were more than pleased with the well-know instructors' work. Although horse-riding is not 'es- sential for the present kind of war- fare, there is a great amount of it to be dome by the senior officers, while discharging their duties and for this reason a course in equitatio: is very necessary. : Big Week At Y.M.C.A.

As far as possible the school will be conducted in such a way that the men will be agle to return to their units thoroughly qualified in all branches of the culinary art for col- diers on active service.
