FROM CAMP BORDEN TO THE BR'USSRLS POST, BRUSSELS, ONTARIO. DRAB SIR As so many of the readers of your paper are interested in Huron's Bat- talion, I feel that the fact of their hav- ing come through the General Inspec- tion so creditably should be given general ppublicity. This inspection is very thorough and exacting, every Officer, Non- commissioned officer and man is ex- amined, and the inspection is con- ducted by Lt. -Col. Campbell, Assist- ant 0. Atthecon lusion o the G. c f inspection to -da he made these P Y, observations : "I am well pleased with what I have seen to -day. You have a fine soldierly body of men. With only three exceptions, they were in splen- did condition. Your officers are a splendld body of men and know their work well. Your non-commissioned officer's are exceptionally bright and efficient and yon are to be congratu-' lared on having such a creditable battalion." I beg to remain, Yours truly, H. B.

DEAR SIR :—I feel constrained to say a word of praise regarding the conduct of your Battalion while they have been on our trains for weekend leave or otherwise. I think I can safely say without danger of being suspected of undue flattery that the .161st Battalion has conducted itself at all tines in such a manner that It could not be considered otherwise than highly- creditable. Theirrespect for their Officers, for their Battalion and for themselves has certainly taught others to respect them. I am sure that such conduct will bring its own reward. The way in which they got on and orf trains puts them in a class by themselves. Yours truly, (Signed) R. W. Piro., General Agt., Camp Borden. Barrister Howell's Opinion The following statement was made by N. W. Rowell, K. 0„ M. P.

The Liberal Lendr sailed from Liver- pool on September the 9th :— "September teinber 10th marksa a e era in the industrial and social life of the' Province," said N. W. Rowell, K. 0., Leader of the Liberal Opposition in Ontario in speaking to The Globe to -day with reference to the coming into operation of the new Ontario Temperance Act. Thousands of our • fellow -citizens have given years of un- selfish service to secure the cooing of this day ; others have cheerfully given up for the public good that which they claimed to be their right ; and the bill which passed the Legis- lature, without a dissenting voice. comes into operation ae an expression of deep well conviction as e l as of the patriotic s the people of the spirit of Province, Al]l Iav e learned from Russians of the effect ofhe prohibi- tion roliibi- tion of the sale of liquor in Russia, and. all I have seen and learned in Fi.'auee and GI eat Britain, eonflrm the wl.- door and patriotism of the course pur- sued in closing all drinking places in Ontario during the war. When the war is aver, and our gal- lent soldiers who survive the conflict have returned to their hones, and normal conditions have been re- established, the people of the Pro- vincell have ave the opportunity of sayingeaying whetherthey Y wish the law to continu or to reverti e to former con- ditions. 'I am convinced Lhat if the law is•f t ell enforced r, o and it will be as per- manent as our lode] optPion laws Lave proved to be, and the benefits to the whole Province will be as great as or greater than those which have ac- crned to citizens in local option com- munities, The passing of the law removes from those engaged, in the hotel business the civil and medal disabilities from which they have hitherto suffered by reason of the bar, and I tun persuaded that if law is well unforced the timewillyet conte when e n ve those a who most; eta'ongly oppose the present act will acknowledge that the closing of the drinking places during the wan was a wise and patriotic course t0 puretic,"
