But everybody knew whose work it was, just as King George did when he said “Arise Sir Sam" or words to that effect. Still Looks Ahead Everybody knows it. Even the ene- mies of the Minister of Militiaâ€"and he has themâ€"admit that to his tireless energy, his unremitting labor and his extraordinary foresight, the remark- able military achievement of Canada is largely due. He has worked night and day; he has made other people work night and day. He is charged with having made mistakes, which charge is proof of his industry, because the only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything at all. But the mistakes, if mistakes they were, have little weight when meas- ured against the tremendous success which has crowned his work in the main object for which he has striven. Not that he has finished, either. He is still working day and night, still planning, organizing and arranging, still looking ahead and preparing for what is yet to come. A Peculiar Fitness It is of course perfectly true that the thousands of Canadians who have enlisted for overseas service, have done so of their own free will, and of their own desire and determination to fight for the safety of the Empire against the onrush of the Hun, but it is equally true that they got their opportunity from Sir Sam Hughes. The Prime Minister’s offer of a Cana- dian force, and the readiness of Cana- dians to enrol themselves in that force, could not have been given eifective expression without the practical abil- ity of the Minister of Militia to set things in motion and keep them going. Another man in the office of Minister of Militia would have done some of it, but not all, nor nearly all. Sam Hughes had advantages which fitted him peculiarly for the quick perform- ance of the task entrusted to him. He is a born soldier. He is familiar with the book. He has seen active service. He has travelled over most of the ground in northern France and Bel- gium, where the western fighting has been done. He knew the sort of a country it was, what sort of soldiers the Germans were, and what sort of soldiers the French were. He knew the British Tommy and the British generals, knew the members of the British Government, or most of them, and what manner of men they were. He knew his own country like a book and he knew his own countrymen from one ocean to the other. In other words he knew the players and all about the game. Could there have been a better man to do what the Ger- mans said could not be done, to “im- provise an army?" How We got Shell Orders . General Sir Sam talked to the Otta- wa Canadian Club on “The War and Our Duty.” He said that Canada had done well in her commercial duty and in her military duty. He said that Canadian manufacturers had risen nobly to the occasion in the manufac- ture of munitions. Soon after the war began, the British Government asked him if he could secure 200,000 shells in the United States, and although the order was somewhat small he had thought that Canadian establishments could carry out the work, not only to keep the factories going, but to do something in the way of providing work for Canadians at home. The manufacturers of the country were in- duced to take on the shellanakiys in- ...a ago, and became General Sir Sam Hughes, K.C.B., he only got what was coming to him. If there is anything to wonder at about it, it is that he wasn’t given his golden spurs before. When General Sam Hughes was knighted by the King a few weeks He Has Accomplished Wonders and Is Still At It Letter from Sir J. S. Hen‘drie ap - pealing for help for British Red Cross.

To-day they were producing in Can- ada tens of thousands of tons of steel. Open hearth steel was being used and this possesses all the essential qual- ities of crucible steel. Canada was producing her own zinc, and for the first time in Canada trinitrotolurine was being made. Gun cotton was be- ing manufactured, and in fact the en- tire shell, including the fuses, were be- ing made in Canada to-day. Modest About Himself Sir Sam did not tell his audience as he might truthfully have done, that it was he who persuaded the manufac- turers to go into the making of shells, but he did point out the difliculties which were faced by the manufactur- ers themselves. These difficulties were by no means small. No one knew how long the war would last, 'nor what the requirements in muni- tions would be. It was not till within 'the last few months that they had come to realize how necessary was the production of war munitions, and the manufacturers of Canada were ready to turn out whatever quantity the British Government asked them to produce. The Minister pointed out that shell orders were not issued by the Shell Committee on their own \res- ponsibility, but under direction of the War Office. Sir Sam briefly outlined the work of the first Canadian division. On the outbreak of war Canada had about 60,- 000 cadets in the country, and of that number 20,000 had done duty for King and country. He recalled the early days of the conflict, and the days at Valcartier. War was declared on Aug- ust 4th. On the morning of the 8th Valcartier was ready for occupation. Some thought that discipline would not be secured. Discipline, said the Hon. Minister of Militia, according to his views, did not mean, nor ever would mean, repression. By discipline he meant culture, polish and self-cone trol, and no finer example of this sort of discipline had been afforded than the behavior of the rough and ready soldiers of Canada in the historic bat. tle of St. Julien. They had held them~ selves against the most disciplined soldiers in the world. The Battle of St. Julien The Minister gave the Club a de« tailed explanation of the Canadian position at St. Julien, a description which is well worth repeating. The Turcos were on the Canadians’ left. It was the first time in civilized war- fare, in any kind of warfare, that an enemy had resorted to gas, and the Turcos, totally unaccustomed to gas, as indeed were the Canadians, but lacking the Canadian resourcefulness, fell back. 'i’nis left a gap of 7,000 or 8,000 yards in the line. The Cana- dians’ left was standing out in the air. For five days and five nights, the Can- adians, ably assisted by their British comrades later, held the front against five and ten times their numbers who had the best long range artillery in the world. Yet with all that the Ger- mansoniy succeeded in retiring the Canadian line one mile and an eighth. Sir Sam announced that whenever the call came for larger forces, steps would be taken to provide for a force up to whatever number was required. Canada, he believed, would not fail in her duty when the time came for the overseas army to be increased. There had been no failure in the past. On the contrary, when the first call went forth for 20,000 they got 33,000; when they asked for 50,000 they se« cured 75.000. and since authority had been given to recruit 150,000 they had over that number. A Fight to 3 Finish Canada. declared Sir Sam, would never be content with less than a fight to a finish. “The peace-loving nations of the world have long enough been terrified by the clanging of the sabres of the Hohenzollern family. The day has arrived in human progress and civilization when the thing will not be tolerated any longer. I express the sentiments of every man and every woman (God bless them) in Canada when I say that if it takes two, the number already at the front. four or forty divisions, Canada de mands the war shall be fought to a Turnbullâ€"Peartâ€"Thzat in msâ€" ponse to the appeal of the Red Cross through Lieutenant-Govern- or Sir J.

He banished the wet canteen from the military camps in Canada, but he made the regulation applicable to all ran :2. The highest military omcer has no more license than has the private. Sir Sam is himself a water drinker. Recent restrictions on the sale of liquor, applicable to \‘V.iians as well as to soldiers, are the growth of his dry canteen regulation. In other words, General Sir Sam Hughes is a practical temperance reformer, without being intemperate about it. ter of Agriculture, has now issued a statement, conveying the information that the War Office has accepted ten- ders from the packers for six million and a quarter pounds of canned corn- ed beef for delivery before the close of the current year. This contract is of particular interest to Eastern Can- ada. as it will provide a market forf the large surplus of canned cattle that § are now finding their way to the Tor- onto and Montreal Stock Yards. ‘i'ne . outlet, which the Minister has been' striving to obtain, at least in regard; to a considerable proportion of thisf class of cattle, has now been found.i How It Was Done It will be remembered that Mr. Burrell has not undertaken to purw chase the meat for the War Office. but through the Acting High Com- missioner, Sir George Perley, has cony veyed to the Imperial Government; the tenders of the packers, this repre~ senting the aggregate of the ofler of‘ those engaged in the tinned meati business.
