Rughes at Valeartier Addressing Officers Says Strength Will Be Raised to Sixteen Battalions In, stead of Twelve --•Only 22,000 of Their Will Be Sent to Europe Just Now. VALCARTIER CAMP, Que., Sept, 1, — From his charger, Col. Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia,address- ed about 1,000 officers of the mobili- zation camp yesterday afternoon. The officers formed three sides of a hol- low square northwest of the head- quarters, and from an elevated posi- tion the Minister told them of some of the plans of the Government in connection with the first contingent and othercontingents that may be formed. He said that therewere now over 29,000 soldiers encamped, and only about 22,000 would comprise the first division. If they could not go at once they must not be altogether disappointed. There would be use. for them, and they would all have their chance some time: He stated that a part of the Cana- dialr force would be used to garrison Bermuda and other places, and other regiments would be used in Canada as. line of communication or to act as protective force: here: Col. Williams, camp commandant, had been author- ized to raise sixteen- battalions in- stead of twelve, because of the great number of volunteers. He said that the present -23,000 men in camp were the best ever gathered in Can- ada. They had to get down to ser- ious business and learn to shoot straight. "I can excuse a man for almost anything if he can pick his man," said the colonel. "Incompetent officers are worse than baggage, because they must be fed," he concluded. The arrivals in camp yesterday were as follows: 6th Regt., Yaneon- ver, 352; 6th Field Company Engi- neers, Vancouver, 124; 19th Com- pany, C. A. S. C. 105; 103rd Regt., Calgary, 512,• other Calgary man, 10. Five hundred Edmonton noon ar- rived late last night and remained in the cars until the morning. An official statement was given out by Col: Williams, camp comman- dant, last night, that the entire Damp was being organized into four bri- gades, instead of three. Up to the present there have been twelve bat- talions; but, as. Col. Hughes announc- ed in his speech to the officers in the afternoon, four additional battalions are to be formed. • This means the appointment of four battalion com- manders and another brigadier, the present brigadier .commanders being Col. Turner, V.C., D.S.O., and Lt, -Col. Mercer and 'Lt. -Co]. Rattan. ` Two men entered camp last even- ing without permits. They turned out to be whisky runners and were promptly placed under arrest and will be dealt with by the authorities to- day. Militia Will Be Mobilized. OTTAWA, Sept. 1. — Probably all of the Canadian .militia, but certainly the greater portion of it will shortly be mobilized. This was the statement made at the Militia Department yes- terday. The object of the Department is twofold -to drill the militia and to increase the efficiency of the fusee in case -it is required, also to stironlate recruiting. There are many more cameo at Valcartier than are required, but it is probable thatmany of. the yrs will go as privates. Many .atoms did so when the Canadian cont fogent went to South Africa. CHECKED .HUGE FOBS& Britons Numbering 70,000 . Men Fought 200,000 Germane. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. — Seventy thousand British troops for is last three days held in check. 99{1,000 German troops, until relieved by French reinforcements, aecordtag to information here to -day through neu- tral diplomats. The advices did not give the place of the battle. Although the German forces broke through the British lines in many places, the English held their own until French reinforcements arrived, and then retired in good order. Mili- tary experts of the allied forces 'were reported to have been greatly en- couraged by the manner in whlcai the British forces withstood the eaperior forces of the enemy. ' The informa- tion came from Paris through diplo- matic sources. Dead Soldier's Comrade Arrested. ST.
