Since the war broke out in August, 1914, Kingston has had a military history that is in keeping with its military reputation of many years. With the closing of Barriefield camp another chapter will be added, and a winter's campaign for recruits to its next battalion is already being planned. Since the war started there have been all branches of the service rais- ed here and sent overseas. Th first, of course, was out contribution to the battalions and artillery brigade at Valeartier, and in this way Kingston is still represented in the 2nd Bat- talion. The next was the 21st, which spent a memorable winter here, Then followed the 59th, which was at Bar- riéfield camp with the 38th and 80th Brigade. The artillery was followed by three batteries, 32nd, 83rd and 34th, which gradually grew into the establishment of the 45th and 46th, 50th, 51st, 52nd, 53rd, and again the 72nd, 73rd, 74th and 75th--a long list. : 2 The 59th went overseas, and then in the district there was authorized the 93rd, 108th, 130th, 136th, 139th, 146th, 154th, 156th and 156th, and now a Queen's University Battalion.

The verdict is fatal enough right now. up hope that a great victory by the Allies will cause the Canadian people to forget its long list of sins, because it realizes that no victory, however great, could do that. Even if the Allies could show a victory for every sin the Borden Government has com- mitted, the people would not forget their grievance. It has been accumu- lating ever since the Borden Govern- ment took office five years ago. It didn't take the people long to see which way the Borden Government was headed. All the war did was to grease the skids. Howevér, the Gov- ernment will hesitate as long as pos- sible before taking the plunge next April. Yes, and then some, of the Govern- ment can bring it about. It will ask for another extension that goes without saying.

The mil- lennium won't get a fair start until the Borden outfit of listless lingerers is out of the way. However, that won't prevent the Borden Goverp- ment asl for another year's re- prieve, the idea being to put the onus on the Liberals for refusing. Truth to tell, this onus is only a bogey, Nobody takes any stock in it. The citizens of Canada, the honest patriots on both sides of politics, are ready and willing to assume any onus that will put the Borden Government on the blink., One onus is a good as another, sh long as it does the trick.

That was fol- lowed by the Bob Rogers omen, which is the most dreadful of ail. Circum- stances and the evidence closed in on the Honourable Bob to the extent of obscuring his judgement and shatter- ing his temper, with the result that he started out to purify the Mani- toba bench, which was quizzing him too hard. Bob purified it to the ex- tent of getting four newspaper men put in jail, two of whom were fined in such amounts that they will prob- ably have to issue debentures to pay them. That's Bob's way--he doesn't care how many newspapermen go to jail so long as he gets the right kind of Judge to run the show. And the right kind of Judge is a Judge that will stick by Bob, right or wrong, Patticularly wrong, because who needs a Judge to stick to him when he is right and everybody kn it? The Honourable Bob's predicament of kindness can get a man in He telephoned to Contractor that he wasn't getting enough $8,700 for the new powef Rousé the Agricultural College.

Capt. C. Turner, Camp Paymaster, Has One Which Should be Semt to All Paymasters in the Country. In 'all probability the Militia De- partment Will soon make an order absolutely prohibiting hand-written cheques, and will issue non-raising cheque typewriters to every unit mo- bilized, and such should have been done long ago. Capt. C. urner, camp paymaster, has just received a new machine which perforates the paper, being written on in such a way that a forgery or attempt at raising the amount on the cheque is an absolute failure. Fortunately there have been few cases of tampering with cheques here. When there are thousands of cheques being issued every pay-day, some men with doubtful morals are bound to be found, and it is to pre- Br | pening in the future thai the chines will be issued. 235 TO BELLEVILLE.
