Canada's scarlet riders are off to the war. 'With them is lost one of the few remaining links with the romantic pest of the Oanadlan, West. The Royal Northwest Mounted Police have been permitted to enlist as a body to "get the kaiser," and It is unlikely that the Old organization will be revived after the war, For "the old order•changeth, giving place to new," and there is no longer the old imperative need for the services of this wonderfully capable body of men. The Canadian West has grown up. "They always get their mint." For more than forty years this has been said in the CanadianWest of the Cana- dian "Mounties." , Not by the Hien themselves for they have the proverb- ial modesty of tete really brave. Not in the dry and laconic official reports which give scarcely a hint of the stir- ring romantic stories of which they are the uninteresting graveyard. But, it has been said by the early settlers who owed to the Mounted Police their immunity from raids by Indians. and bad nlen. It has. been tie unwilling tribute oP the Indians and the lawbreaking ele- ment among the whites. 11. not liter- ally 'true it has for so long been so nearly true that the saying many years ago became a proverb among Cana- dians, "They always get .their man." Therefore if there be any truth in proverbs, let the Raiser beware! The "Mounties" are on his trail! Enlisted as a Body. It was not until the spring of this year that permission was given the "Mounties" to enlist for overseas. The Canadian. Government was loath to lose their services at home; and more- over, there were little demand for cav- alry In France. But many a scarlet rider deserted that he might join an Infantry battalion, and in most in- stances the authorities winked at the offence, Officers and men felt that the his- toric force had passed its years of use- fulness in Canada, that nothing more than the provincial police was needed now, and constant pressure was exert- ed at Ottawa to secure permission for the Riders of the Plains to enlist as a body for service in the Great Adven- ture,overseas, In April that permis- sion was given. As there were less than 600 men on the roll of the force, permission w115 also given to recruit to the full strength of a battalion. So the call t went forth for men who eo;4c1 shoot i and ride. and within a few days ap- e plications had to be refused. Such is the glamour of bonnection with this famous force that a cavalry brigade of "Mounties" could be recrbited'in the Canadian West in a month. And talo, may yet be done, - 1 ' Thrilling History Might Be Written, No adequate history of this famous force will ever be written.

' Beek of.'the meagre official des- patch anneuneing -the award by the Itellan-govel'nment of its silver moral for valor, virtually the highest mili- tary recognition that can eome to an Italian soldier, is one of the most thrilling and roomette episodes of the entire war; ope which, in fact, may, ,be said to• have lead a diatlnet and definite bearing upon the sueceaa of the Italian arms, Th'e .cable message announcing the award read: "Awarded to First Lieu- tenant (he later received his cap- • taincy) Francesco Mario Guardabxss1 of Perugia, while on thg staff of the. commander of division.

At l'i'st they were only 150 strong; for a short period they had slightly, more than 1,000 men: , but for the greater part of their history they num- Wed less than 600 men.' The State of Montana is immeasurably -smaller than the tori•ltal'y under the; care of the "Mounties It had about the same number of Indians, belonging to the sante tribes, as in the Canadian Northwest, Yet .the smallest number of troops that the American Govgrn- rent thought it safe to keep in that State in those days was 3;500. Small wonder that the fame of the "Moun- ties" has gone round the world. "They Always Get Their Man." There is some doubt whether the Mounted Police will be permitted, when they go overseas, to retain their identity. It is said they are to be broken up and used as reinforcement drafts for other bodies of Canadian cavalry on the western front. Such a fate, would be a sad anti -climax to thef' long and gloriously romantic career. The force has a history all its own. It has a reputation as a band of won- derful horsemen unsurpassed in any part of the world. If the military authorities have a spark of sentiment or imagination they will permit those men to remain together that they may add 1n France and Flanders to the laurels of their romantic and glorious force. The whole North American Conti- nent -knows something of the repl;ta- tion and history of the Royal North- west Mounted Police. Oltt both'sides of the international boundary line there are many who will follow with a special interest their exploits of the great war'.

Canada's scarlet riders are off to the war. 'With them is lost one of the few remaining links with the romantic pest of the Oanadlan, West. The Royal Northwest Mounted Police have been permitted to enlist as a body to "get the kaiser," and It is unlikely that the Old organization will be revived after the war, For "the old order•changeth, giving place to new," and there is no longer the old imperative need for the services of this wonderfully capable body of men. The Canadian West has grown up. "They always get their mint." For more than forty years this has been said in the CanadianWest of the Cana- dian "Mounties." , Not by the Hien themselves for they have the proverb- ial modesty of tete really brave. Not in the dry and laconic official reports which give scarcely a hint of the stir- ring romantic stories of which they are the uninteresting graveyard. But, it has been said by the early settlers who owed to the Mounted Police their immunity from raids by Indians. and bad nlen. It has. been tie unwilling tribute oP the Indians and the lawbreaking ele- ment among the whites. 11. not liter- ally 'true it has for so long been so nearly true that the saying many years ago became a proverb among Cana- dians, "They always get .their man." Therefore if there be any truth in proverbs, let the Raiser beware! The "Mounties" are on his trail! Enlisted as a Body. It was not until the spring of this year that permission was given the "Mounties" to enlist for overseas. The Canadian. Government was loath to lose their services at home; and more- over, there were little demand for cav- alry In France. But many a scarlet rider deserted that he might join an Infantry battalion, and in most in- stances the authorities winked at the offence, Officers and men felt that the his- toric force had passed its years of use- fulness in Canada, that nothing more than the provincial police was needed now, and constant pressure was exert- ed at Ottawa to secure permission for the Riders of the Plains to enlist as a body for service in the Great Adven- ture,overseas, In April that permis- sion was given. As there were less than 600 men on the roll of the force, permission w115 also given to recruit to the full strength of a battalion. So the call t went forth for men who eo;4c1 shoot i and ride. and within a few days ap- e plications had to be refused. Such is the glamour of bonnection with this famous force that a cavalry brigade of "Mounties" could be recrbited'in the Canadian West in a month. And talo, may yet be done, - 1 ' Thrilling History Might Be Written, No adequate history of this famous force will ever be written.

The State of Montana is immeasurably -smaller than the tori•ltal'y under the; care of the "Mounties It had about the same number of Indians, belonging to the sante tribes, as in the Canadian Northwest, Yet .the smallest number of troops that the American Govgrn- rent thought it safe to keep in that State in those days was 3;500. Small wonder that the fame of the "Moun- ties" has gone round the world. "They Always Get Their Man." There is some doubt whether the Mounted Police will be permitted, when they go overseas, to retain their identity. It is said they are to be broken up and used as reinforcement drafts for other bodies of Canadian cavalry on the western front. Such a fate, would be a sad anti -climax to thef' long and gloriously romantic career. The force has a history all its own. It has a reputation as a band of won- derful horsemen unsurpassed in any part of the world. If the military authorities have a spark of sentiment or imagination they will permit those men to remain together that they may add 1n France and Flanders to the laurels of their romantic and glorious force. The whole North American Conti- nent -knows something of the repl;ta- tion and history of the Royal North- west Mounted Police. Oltt both'sides of the international boundary line there are many who will follow with a special interest their exploits of the great war'.
