E It appears to me that if war is ev- er to break out again, that Van- .couver and Victoria must be forti- ‘fied for protection’s sake, as today they are practically nseiess. The cities of the west haw teen boomed beyond an reason, and it would make your ire rise to see how the people of the east have been de- luded. CONTRIBUTED DAY'S PROCEEDS While at Vancouver the cruiser Rainbow had been in the harbor keeping an eye on the Komatu Karu, the vessel laden with Hindus desir- ing to land on Canadian soil. Im- IvIcNeillie had a very plehsanfc trip, and he had attended a politiCul meeting where Redmond Roblin had spoken and other noted'men.‘ The speeches were of a very high order, and were very interesting. In Saskat- chewan there were a great many well settled farms, while farther on were the mighty Rockies, snow capp- ed in the middle of summer. The scenery was so beautiful that we n.-. so beautiful that we re- Major J. Bobcay‘geou Falls, and days’ trip iitary offici s'ton. Recruiting for the second Cana- dian contingent in Quebec is going on swiftly and already out of the four companies that are to be mobilized from this district, one company is fglly manned from volunteers of the 9th Regiment of Fusiliers, wholly composed of French-Canadian mem- bers. {Svecml to The Poet.) QUEBEC, Oct. 28.â€"-A letter re- ceived here yesterday from one of the Quebec volunteers in the first Cans:- dian contingent, says that out at sea. r. German spy was caught on one of the transports. The letter says that the man was disguised as a. Canadian soldier, hav- ing been at the Valcartier camp throughout the whole length of the 111311081“ res. The letter comes from George Matte, a local constable, who wrote the news to his wife here. Ottawa, U-nt., Oct. 27.â€"-According to advices received at the Militia.- Deâ€" 1 partmeut, Major-General HugheS. i Minister of Miiitia, win be back in g Ottawa about November 10. As no} word has been received from the Bri~§ tish War Office as to the composit- f ion of the second force it is taken; for granted now that Major-Genera“ Hughes, who has been in ~consultation with Lord Kitchener, will bring back} these details himself.

Eustace Hopkins: for the wed- ding of his brother, Mr: Richard The Canadian Patriétic Fund is a- vailable for the wives. children and dependent re‘latives ‘_of residents of Canada on active service with the ar- mies of the British Empire and of the Allies. If a Belgian reservist liv- ed in Canada and went to the front his family could receive benefits from the Fund. No contributions can. how- ever, be made directly from the Pa- triotic Fund to the Belgian Relief Fund or for the benefit of any par- ties other than those I have inen- tioned. SOD 1 The following, letter, recei‘i'ied 'by Mr. J. D. Flavelle, from Hon.’ W. 'T. White, Minister of Finance, proves the wisdom of not identifying the local Patriotic Furid with the Cana- dian Patriotic Fund, as was suggest- ed by some. As will be seen by the communication, the local fund would not be flexible enough ’to permit of sending aid to the Belgians if aided to Canadian Fund. '4 J. D. Flavelle, Esq., Lindsay, 'O'nt. Dear Mr. Flavelle:â€"-Replying t1: yours of the 24th inst, the cheque which you expect to forward for aid to the Belgians should be mades'pay- able to the Treasurer of the Belgian Relief Fund and forWarded to Mr. Maurice Goor, Belgian Consul here. You might also write or wire him reâ€" specting any prOViSiom-l, which the people of your district desire to for' ward. The Government is not dealing with this matter.

I the correspondent of the Havas 1 Agency says: I “Despatches received here say that German troops have forcibly in- vaded the Portuguese province of i Angola, West Africa. People nowadays as _a lot of stop- ping WLere they am avited to shop. Angola lies north of German Southwest Africa. and borders on the Congo State, which, of ‘course, be- longs to Belgium. By traversing An- gola. and the Congo State the Ger- mans would establish communication between their East and West Afri- can possessions. Recent despatches recorded the sending of. 10.000 Por- tuguese troops to Angola under the escort of British warships.‘ “Preparations are being made to despatch immediately warships and troops from Portugal to Angola." Ottawa, Oct. 27.â€"â€"-Unless somethingi unforseen happens which will compel? ~an emergenar meeting of Parliament, I the House 5'31 not be summoned un- til 386%. It is understood that- this was mcided by the Cabinet be-§ fore Sir Robert Borden left for his holiday in Virginia. There ‘was suffi- cient at the emergency session to carry the Government OVer the New! Year and it was decided that it was not necessary to summon Parliament until January.
