In the first place the Premier was reckoning on half a million from Canada. Half a million must be taken as a round number. It is the authokbized limit, but the ac- tual enlistment is something ove: four hundred.and one thousand. Likewise it is poetic license to say that the whole four hundred and one thousand are in arms. "Many of them wear pens behind their ears instead states won.

It is saving the world from German "Kultur" -- curbing their savage sub- marines--and keeping open thefood lanes for neutrals as well as Allies. Auch a task needs thousands more men for the hundreds of new naval craft, and Britannia calls for Canadians to come over and help out.

There are twenty-five hundred of these khaki non-combatants in the Pay & Rec- ords Office alone. There are another two thousand Canadian officers un- attached galumphing around the south of England. Most of them had a chance to smell gunpowder if they would revert to the ranks, but they preferred to be live colonels and ma. jors rather than dead heroes. Then there are the "organizing" brigadiers on thid side of the water and the various non-combatant ser: vices here and overseas that will 'never see fighting. These men are in uniform, but not in arms. Alto gether perhaps a hundred thousand ought to be subtracted from Prem- ier Borden's generous metaphor te come anywhere near the real figures of fighting men at the front, either now or in the near future. Premier Borden should keep these figures of speech within bounds. He 'is doing in England what he has frequently done here--counting the unfits, the 'I non-combatants, the clerks, the cooks, the bottlewashers, thit make up this padded list of four hundred and one thousand. To make good what we understand was his promise ~--namely, five hundred thousand fighting men at the front---nearly two hundred thousand men will have to be enlisted yet. Meanjwhile the Hon.
