A GRUMBLING CONTINGENT Much dissatisfaction, it seems, ex- isM among the Canadian coronation contingent because of the arranges meats for their accommodation and use made by the War Office authori- ties, Hardly anything, indeed, that was done was done to suit the taste of the aggregation. It was intended that the officers and. men should oc- cupy separate quarters, and this was objected to and a change made. It was part of the programme that the infantry of the contingent should line part of the route, where they would see the great procession.instead of being part of the procession and being seen; and this, too, was a cause of displeasure. Then the-. mounted men were to act as a guard' for the colonial premiers, whicla spine might think it very fitting, arrangement, and they were to be under command of Lieut-Ool. Turner, V. C., who did such creditable work in the Belfast fight, which others again might deem to be both appropriate and an honor. But neither arrangement suited, and there was talk ot the contingent re- fusing to parade. Indeed, so general has been the dissatisfaction that the lot is coming home in a huff. They will have an eight-day. sea voyage, which may reduce the swelling of their heads. If it does not, What they discover of the thoughts of the Cana - tan people when they get home will surely have the desired effect. The country is not particularly proud of the contingent or of, the manner ha -which. its units wete selected. The presence in it of some tried and good officers and men does not save it from reproach. The idea in sending it was that it would represent Canada in counection with the coronatiors cere- monies in the way which those who had charge of the arrangements thought best. If the arrangements did not please the men when they fouled out what they were, there should have been sense enough among. t them eoxecognize that they were but part of' it great show and to have quietly aceepted what was intended for and was a compliment. -Montreal Gazette, lin HER Screen Doors Screen Windows Screen Wire Cloth 1111 SILCS St061C Gasoline and.
