Hemming, who has returned | from attending a military conference in Ottawa, has called a meeting of the commanding officers of this dis- trict for Wednesday next. The ob- ject of this meeting is to decide on a vigorous reeruiting campaign. The general is inclined to the opinion that conscription is unnecessary at the present time. He is convinced that, with the right kind of recruit- ing methods, the battalions already authorized for this military district can secure the desired number of men. It depends largely, the general thinks, on the officers of the hattal- fons. If they adopt vigorous and tactful recruiting methods they will secure all the men they want. It is understod that another bit- talion will be authorized for the St. Lawrence river counties, and the feeling in military circles is that this, too, can be recruited up to strength without resorting to ¢o- ercive measures.

MYSTERY OF FORGED CHEQUES DEEPENING Trail Leads to Belleville--Do- minion Police Officer Work=- ing on Case. * The mystery concerning the forg- ing of military cheques deepens. "A Dominion police officer has been here working on the case, and it is under- stood that his investigations lead to the conclusion that others than those already mentioned in connection with the case are the guilty persons. The trail again leads to Belleville, and the officer has gome to that city to follow up some rather promising clues. Two or three other military men are under surveillance, and more arrests are not improbable. Q.M. Sergt. Ince, of the 235th Bat- talion, Belleville, who was placed in custody Thursday afternoon, stoutly denies that he had anything to do with forging the cheques, and de- clares that the charge which has been preferred against him is preposter- ous. Ince, who is a handwriting ex- pert, was called in some days ago to examine thre forged-cheques, and as a result of his findings, a young mili- tary clerk, who was released Friday, was detained for two weeks. An- other handwriting expert, T. N. Payne, of Ottawa, subsequently re- examined the cheques, and his inves- tigations resulted in the arrest of Ince, NEW YORK STOCKS.
