Pciice Force That Kept Order Over
Vast Territory Enlists as a Body
For Duty Overseas.
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

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

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

wonder that the fame of the "Moun-

"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-

there are many who will follow with a

CHEWING CORDITE.
A Habit That Is increasing Among
British Munition Workers..
Not long since' when a boy of six -
00n working on munitions was taken

rinithig, says an English newspaper.
'The suggestion was (tented,- however,
and It was proved that the lad neve
touched alcohol; but the cause of th,?4
mistake lay in the fact that he had the
habit of chewing cordite—the smolce-
ess explosive so largely used 111 the
manufacture of small ems,

Pciice Force That Kept Order Over

For Duty Overseas.
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

"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

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

wonder that the fame of the "Moun-

"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

CHEWING CORDITE.
A Habit That Is increasing Among
British Munition Workers..
Not long since' when a boy of six -
00n working on munitions was taken
11, it was thought that he had been
rinithig, says an English newspaper.
'The suggestion was (tented,- however,
and It was proved that the lad neve
touched alcohol; but the cause of th,?4
mistake lay in the fact that he had the
habit of chewing cordite—the smolce-
ess explosive so largely used 111 the
manufacture of small ems,

Versailles with the best pictures his
taste suggested, Philip was ready to
die in debt to tate tune of 45 million
pesetas. For that is the sum which
