Still another well-known Ottawa athlete has decided to don the khaki. Martin Kilt has been gazetted a lieut- enant and will take a course in the school of artillery at Kingston. He was one of the best all round foot- ballers Ottawa ever turned out, play- ing with equal success at quarter, outside or middle wing. The 230th Battalion, about 500 strong, arrived in Brockville on Fri- day from Ottawa, and went into win- ter quarters, The soldiers were given a most enthusiastic welcome. The advance party reached Brockville Wednesday night. Capt. Walter K. Macnee is at present doing duty at the Rockeliffe ranges, Ottawa. Now, what about that $1,500 or so that the council, business men and Qirls' Patriotic Society contributed to the funds of the 235th Battalion on the understanding that Bowman- ville was the headquarters? asks the Bownmanville Statesman. The po- jiticians who used their influence to keep '"'our" battalion at Belleville may well chuckle over their success, but recruiting will not be helped by such political intriguing. - KINGSTON [8 "DRY" - BUT SUPPLY COMES IN William MoGrath, Arrested for Drunkenness, Had a Case of Liquor.
