MacKin- non, late chaplain of the 101st, Hur- on, Battalion, who is home on a omission from the front. Major J. W. Shaw, who was med- ical officer of the Hurons and who was, therefore, well acquainted with Capt„ MacKinnon, acted as chair- man. Sn introducing him Major Shaw spoke in the highest terms of Capt. MacKinnon and of the esteem In which he was held by the hien to whom lie. ministered, On rising Capt. MacKinnon ex- pressed Ids regret that his visit to Clinton trust be short as he would have enjoyed very much seeing and becoming acquainted with the fath- ers and mothers of the. Clinton boys whom he had grown to regard so favorably during his connection with the I-Iuron Battalion. Fle spoke of the physical fitness of the members of the 101st saying that they gave the medical officer very little- work, "and they were not only healthy physically but they were good boys, clean -minded, well-behaved and self- respecting," lie added. Ho told of many of the conditions of camp life and also of Conditions at the front, where he had boon sent to introduce the Khaki College move- ment, which had been started among the boys of the 1.01st, to the camps in France, Capt. MacKinnon called" attention to tiie fact that German influences were at work in every country of the Allies and said it was not hard to believe that such influences were at work in Canada. "No one would talk pro -Germanism here, of course," he said, "but little insinuating stor- iesarecirculating. They look innocent perhaps at first sight but if they -are repeated from mouth to mouth they have the ellcct of mustier war -wear- iness." Ile thought the spirit of the Canadian people would have to be pretty good to match that of the boys at the front, Capt. MacKinnon's talk was listen- ed to with great interest, 1 -le has a kindly and winning personality and speaks with a slight accent very pleasing to the ear, One could read- ily conceive of 'hire winning the com- plete regard of the men in the camps, During the evening Mr. Walter Lowe and Mr, .3.
