Of thee 112.000 are -overseas, either in Great Britain or at the front, while in traloing in Canada there are ap- proximately 134,000, counting those on guard duty, on Headquarters staff. These were among the interesting facts given to the Commems Thurs- day by Sir Robert Borden in reply to. a series of questions by Hon. Charles Mardi. In ,regard to Mr. Mareil's question as to whether the, Govern - meet had deckled to enlist 500,000 Canadians for overseas service, after consulting the British authorities, the Prime Minister said that the Govern- ment always took pains to ascertain the views of the Imperial authorities, pastieularly the War Office, with re- gard to these matters before coming to any decisien. Nothing had hime poned :since that decision, he added, to imiace the Goveimment to change its mind as tothe munber to be en- listed. With regatd to the question as to how long it took the Canadian troops to be ready for the Trent front the, date of erdistreents the Premier said that the period 'varied. -Six menthe Might be taken as a minim= for in- fantry, but other arnIS of bhe eerviee required a longersperiod before they' were ready to go to the front. • The total expenditure by Canada for war purposes ISP to the end of ,Februery, Sir Robert said, has aggre- gated $187,000,000, hot taking into aceotint the millions of dollars which Great Britainhas spent on behalf of Canada fax 'nitrations ,of redone kinds supplied to the Canadian forces at the front through the War Office., The accounting for these will not be made until the war is over. In reply to Mr. Belsky, the Pre- mier said that the members of the Militavy Hospitals Commission served without salary, but that they were al- lowed $10 per day and 'railway fare while engaged on the business of the Commission.
