cut and potted flowers and made a
fine showing. The Clinton lovers of

Last week Contractor T, McLean
had a steam roller come from Hanover
to aid in street work now in progress,
•It weighed between 14 and 10 ton, too
heavy to fetch across the stringers of
the iron bridge and the alternative
was to take it through the river by
the old flax mill property. The Thuell
traction engine hauled it to the Mait-
land and the heavier traction, belong-
ing to Wm. Cooper, with Pope & Son
in command, took charge in the after-
noon. River was too deep to permit
of fire in the furnace of the roller and
it pulled a dead weight to be sure. By
6 p.m. it was on Ttt berry St., the
scene of its operationor some time to
come. It made the trip from the
M&tland under its own steam after
the grade was reale from the river.
Nearly everybody and his cousin were
on hand to see that the hf avy machine
made the crossing of the In aitland
properly, some of the l ar y p nding
most of the day on the scene. It would
take a big book to contain the thou-
sands of suggestions as, to how the
work ehould be done as steam power,
horse power and man power was lent
to accomplish the none too easy task
with the swollen river. The incident
afforded a good safety valve for the
pent up wisdom on the science of
"How to do it,"—Brussels. Post.
NEW REGIMENTS
TO GO TO ENGLAND
New Regiments go to England
It has beep decided to send to
England as complete units twelve in-
fantry battalions now in training in
Canada. Two from the Maritime
Provinces, one from Quebec, five
from Ontario, two from Manitoba and
Saskatchewan, and one each from
Alberta and British Columbia. On
the arrival of these troops in Eng-
land, Canada's overseas force will
number about one hundred thousand.
THE SOLDIERS' LIFE
As Lived at old Niagara in Historic 1915
[Written by a soldier who ie taking an
officers course at the 1?rovlsional
School of Infantry, Niagara, Some
features of camp life.]
Ever since the stirring days of 1812-
13 and 14, when the men of Canada
fought for and held lov-
edd the land they
against the foreign invaders, old
Niagara has been an interesting and
historic spot, Every foot of ground
from Fort George, near the mouth of
Niagara River, to Queenston, where
General Brock and many of his brave
followers fell, while striking for liber-
ty and freedom; could tell a story of
the brave deeds enacted there over a
century ago, Even in those days of
old, though, it is doubtful if the scenes
presented were one whit more inter-
esting than the spectacle presented on
these historic grounds to -day, viz., the
training of a Canadian army of 10,000
men --:for overseas service.
The work is a gigantic one, but day
by day the men grow more and more
efficient and from time to time, drafts
are made and sent to England, while
their places are filled by the new re-
cruits who keep coming in continually.
Never has Canada seen a military
camp like the present one at Niagara.
Many of the old theories of war have
been exploded by the present struggle
in Europe and the British military
leaders are learning in the school of
experience, many things that have
never entered into warfare between
nations before. The men of Niagara
are therefore being trained only in then
things that will be useful to them(
when they take the field against the
Kaiser's hordes, while certain forms of
drill that were formerly part of a sol-
dier's training have been discarded.
The experiences of men who have been
at the front within the past year, are
now being utilized in the training of
Canada's overseas forces.
Physically, mentally and morally,
the drill books say, a soldier must be
trained so that he is a better man
than his adversary on the field of bat-
tle and this principle is being put into
effect in every part of the training of
the soldiers at Niagara Camp to -day.
No detail is omitted to bring these men
to a high state of efficiency, and when
they go to the trenches. they will go,
not as raw troops, bub as seasoned
veterans, for every condition they �viIl
meet when they reach the trenches,
will have been experienced by them
during their course of training here,
Training in trench digging, in bayo-
net work, in tactical manoeuvres, in
shooting, in charging enemies''trench-
es, in route marching, all this they
get, but first of all special attention is
paid to bringing every man to a high
state of physical fitness. A man might
know his drill thoroughly, he might
be able to shoot accurately, but if his
muscles were not trained and his wind
not good, his shooting and perfect
drill would be of little avail. Every
man then is given a thorough course
in physical exercise, a course which
makes him an athelete. In o t h e r
words, every man who goes cut from
Niagara Camp is a trained athelete,
The men have a portion of each day
devoted to this work and every muscle
is exercised, while every day they
run a certain distance, which give
them wind and increased lung power.
The idea of this is thai; when they
reach the front and have to charge
with the bayonet, they will be able to
run from fifty to one hundred yards to
the enemy's trenches and when they
reach them, will not be so fatigued
that they cannot use the bayonet, but
will still be fresh and strong, while the
muscular excercise they have received
will enable them to use their bayonets
with deadly effect when'; the time
comes. So much for their phyeical
training.
Each man is taught self reliance. He
is taught to think for himself, not
wait blindly for orders when he is in a
tight corner, as so many of the sold-
iers of the Imperial Army have been
in times past, viz., the Boer war,prone
to do. Ho is taught bow to take ad-
vantage of every available cover and
how to use his entrenching tools. He
is also taught how to shoot and bow
to take care of his rifle, his best friend
when he reaches the battle front, The
rifle ranges at Niagara are splendidly
equipped and are in charge of the very
best musketry instructors, All this
and more is a part of our soldier's
mental training.
Now about the moral training of
these splendid men who are fitting
themselves in order to strike a blow
in defence of liberty when their op-
portunity comes, It strikes one who
has been at the camp for some time,
that, in one sense, these men need very
little moral training. There is a
splendid esprit de corps in every unit

The Atlantic SMg r Refineries Lislted
about the camp. The peen are here,
not because they love the restraint
and discipline, the inconveniences and
hardships of military life, but they are
here, every man of them, because they
feel it there duty to be here,. This may
or may not have been the case wltW1.
the then of the First Contingent.
While giving all honor to them, there
is no doubt that many of them did not
realize what was before them. This
cannot be said however of the men
at Niagara Camp today, Every man
has a thorough appreciation of the
task ahead of him and in the camp
there is a spirit of determination that
is very evident among the different
units, Every man is anxious to learn,
anxious to do anything be is asked to
do, for he knows that everything is
being done for his own good and
for the purpose of bringing him to
the highest state of efficiency possible
before he orosees the ocean to battle
with the German barbarians. Anoth-
er thing noticeable is that every man
is keen to go. Last week, drafts of
three hundred each were made from
three of the battalions in camp, and as
the departing troops waved farewell
to their.conerades left behind, some of
the latter shed. tears of disappoint-
ment that they had to remain a while
longer.
In connection with the moral side
of the soldier's life in camp here,
might be mentioned too, the absence
of intoxicating liquors, both in the
camp and in the town of Niagara -on -
the -lake. Not a drop of liquor is
allowed on this whole great camp and
woe betide the offender who risks
ringing booze within the camp lim-
-a. The result of this prohibition is
a clean, orderly, well -disciplined camp,
such as has never before been seen
here, A vast change from the military
camps of former years. Thus the
work of training Canada's overseas
army goes on day after day. The
Y. M. C. A., as usual, is doing a splen-
did work and the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew has also a large tent on the
grounds. The men take advantage of
the opportunities for writing and read-
ing provided by these organizations.
In the evenings football, baseball,
lacrosse, road races, quoits and other
forms of recreation occupy the time
of the soldiers who care for these
sports.
Absolute cleanlinese is one prevail-
ing characteristic of the camp. Not
a paper, not a cigarette stub, refuse
of any kind, is allowed to be thrown
in the lines. Shower baths are pro-
vided for the men of every battalion.
The water for drinking purposes is
taken from the Niagara river and
thoroughly sterlized by an ultra -violet
ray process, before it is used, and the
men are forbidden to drink any other
water. The result of all this is that
the sanitary conditions of the camp
are excellent and there is very little
sickness. Every recruit when he
reaches camp, is innoculated for
typhoid and is also vaccinated for
smallpox,
When one considers that before the
.men come here, they have to pass a
strict medical examination, it is evi-
dent that those who come are in good
conditions physically, right from the
start, Then, with the sanitary pre-
cautions taken, the course of training
the men undergo and the debarring of
anything, such as liquor, that tends to
lessen their physical standard, is it any
wonder that Canada has here a body
of troops to be proud of and one which
will bring honor to their country when
they reach the firing line? The camp
and the surrounding country, especial-
ly the Chautauqua grounds, tract
comprising several hundred acres,
three or four miles out, are splendidly
adapted for the training of the troops
in field operations. Trenches, exact
duplicates of those in which the Brit.
ish soldiers are now lighting in Fland-
ers, have been dug and•are being dug
on the camp grounds to give the men
practice in this work, which enters
largely into the actual lighting.
Including the eighth infantry bat-
talions and other trite such as the
cavolry, engineers, artillery,• officer's
training corps, ambulance and hospit -
al and Army Service Corps, there are
about ten thousand inen in camp.
The 37th. Battalion, which includes a
number of Owen Sound men, is camp-
ed on the bank of the Niagara river
near old Fort George. Farther up the
river, near Paradise Grove is camped
the 58th and the 76th, of interest to

men in both these battalion. The
74th. is also over there. Farther west
nearer the town, the 75th. is located
and nut near old Gort Mississauga,
west of the town, are the 83rd. and the
81th. The battalions that do not go
to the front before winter will likely
go to Toronto to complete their train-
ing,
ALL EQUIPMENT
FROM GOVERNMENT
It has been brought to the atten-
tion of the Department that units
organized for overseas service are
soliciting subscriptions from the pub-
lic for the purchase of articles of
equipment, band instruments, and for'
the creation of a regimental fund,
and it has been reported. that some
units have charged an admission fee
to witness parades, eta, for a similar
purpose. It should be borne in mind
that units of the Overseas Pones are
supplied by the 1)enartmrut with
everything necessary for their equip -
merit, and it should not be necessary
to appeal to the public for assistance,
especially as there aro many objects
of a patriotic and philanthropic Char-
acter to which the Canadian public
have contributed moat liberally, The
practice above referred to does not
commend itself to the 1`iilitia, Connell,
and steps will be taken to prevent a
continuance of tate same, and no such
thing as appeals subscriptions
will be permitted except by express
� permission obtained beloreband frons
