GADSsYbt)4404HS Ottawa, March IT.—Apoarently the Bordeu Government's rues is never to wood true dollar too the war where two duUars will du as well. Every• thing costs about twloe as touch es it should. lu caw ut doubt throw another million to tbesblyd•—euch is the policy. Only now the wasteful methods of recruiting are transpiring. Acerrd- ing to i.eaevidence of the Deputy Adjutant -General, Colonel Charles Maclnois—who has no particular wish to hurt the Borden Government, be- cauee he is one of It.. appointees—the Canadian army was loaded up with ally thousand unfits who were kept on the payroll fora year pr more and were then dropped as incapable. Howe of there were kept, on even longer then that. But Wittig their average duration ou the payroll at a year fifty thousand unfits run'auto a tremendous lot of money. It has been estiutated that t. re- cruit, equip, train and pay a sol ver for one year coats oue thqsssand d lar.. 11 ti therefore • simille proble In multiplication to figure out how much fifty thousand unfits cost. Fifty million dollars—about one -ninth of the mono we have bot rowed for the war. Eleven pt t• tout. waste. The Finance Minister is continually preaching thrift and economy. "Says your money and give it to me " One wonders wbet Sir Thomas bas to say in reference to hie eleven per cent. leakage which goes on right under hie nose. De.pite Mr. Flrvelle'e assurances that this country is drunk with pros- perity, simply because Mr. Flavell. feels proem 1%/118. nobody believes that the average citizen is eulfering from too much money. It is not the salaried man's wife, nor the workingman's wife, that is spending her money on fancy shoes, short skirts, sealskin eau -mite and passionate hats. She hee enough to do paying the good man'e lgood money out for the necesearies of .fe which are controlled by Mr. Fla- velle and his food baron Ir,ends. ho matter what Mr. FIavelle says, the country to not lousy with stoney. though a favored few may be afflicted that way. Canada realizes that now is the time for thrift. There will be hard times after the war and most Cana- dian families are putting by some- thing against s rainy day. But the Borden Government does not act ou it.. own advice. It suit insists on spending two dollare wbere one dollar would 00, simply because the spending id good. Sometimes the money that flows in from * forty per cent. tariff plus the borrowings at home an wales tb—sto Teel io .Telt that they look about for wa). to blow in another million or two. Camp Borden was that kind of experiment. Another little trick is to announce that money will be spent on one thing and then spend it tat another. Such was the National Registration move- ment, which many people thought was intended to lead to national e. r• vise of a military character. irartead, so far ail we con judge front the vague utrerauPew of bire.;tor Bennett and others, it was • sots of industrial re- view sod not a pattilul*tly spirited one at that. The cards still dribble in and the time has teen extended W Mar!h alst, with fair promise that it will be. rttoadeet again and perhaps again After that, if the Government needs to liras the time. Extending the time t. one of the things the Bor- den Government does. It even talks of extending iia term another year from October, 1917, not with the con- sent of the British Parliament, but by means of its majority in the Commons and Senate. Thus does the Govern- ment lift itself by its own bootstrap.. On this theory of extensible existence the Borden Government could go on forever, simply by sentencing itself for life to Ottawa. No doubt registration costs money, but what are a few hundred thousand dollars to a Government tbat is spend- ing a million dollars a day ? The reg- istration may help the profiteers by in- dicating reserve sources of labor, but, so far, it has been no help to recruit- iug except indirectly. Lista ot names, we are informed. are sent to the var- ious recruiting centres with the sug- gestion that these might be good torn o see. This is a rather oblique and timid, not to say sneaking, way of us- ing a registration that wee profeesed- iy undertaken to build up the army. Director Bennett evidently believes in not allowing the right side of his six - hundred -Words -a -minute face know what the left side of his face is wink- ing at.

On the theory that actions speak oder thah word., shrewd observer* re argue that registration was east primarily to sestet the profit- te, seeing that Director Bennett has (lowed up his fleet move with an cremation's' mit ye)," which. will ow Jura where, when and in what tubers workmen are needed or to dispensed with.

They imme- diately sought rhe refuge of shell hones, and from there fired a round of shots at the wood. Evidently the fire proved effective, for three Ger- mans emerged from the wood with their hands held up In token of sur- render. The chaplain advanced to meet the trio. and informed them that one of their number could return to the wood and give the remaining Ger- mans the assurance that their lives would be spared if they surrendered. The German who had been deputed to give the mesoage to his compo- feints promptly left, but failed to re - taro. The chaplain decided to enter the wood and see the officer in charge of the enemy. He did so, and the result of his enterprise was that_45Q Germans offered to surrender. They emerged from the thicket, but When confronted with only IA Fuaillers—and not an eptire bat- talion. as they probably surmised— & number of thein sought to return to the wood, with the obvious Inten- tion of renewing the combat- The "Dubs," however, sent a bullet or two In the direction of the retreating sol- diers and soon dispelled all notions of retaliation. It Is stated that ono of the German officers approached the priest and asked that he might be spared the horrors of torturo. At the same time he significantly pointed to a bundle of banknotes which he held in his extended hand. He re- ceived the apt retort "We are British soldiers, sir, not thieves."
