Head of 198th Battalion a Man
Who Has Always Had a Hobby
Soldiering His Pet.
20 YEARS OF SERVICE
Has Been a Successful Journalist
—Organizirg Ability One of
His Strong Points,
(Toronto Star)
If you find a man who loves a con-
troversy, and who will see it through to.
the end, then you have discovered a
soldier. lDoubtlesa that is the qualifica-
tion of which Sir Sam Hughes, Minister
of Militia, was thinking when he chose
Lieut. -Col. John A. Cooper to head the
195th Battalion, whose or anizati
n is
already under full swing at the battalion
headquarters on University avenue. In
this crisis of recruiting, when strong men
must: be chosen to lead battalions, men
who possess a natural bent for organiza-
tion and who may be relied upon to
think out new wrinkles for getting
soldiers, Canada's \Var Lord cannot ars
toedto make 'mistakes. Ile hasn't, done
it this time, if a successful journalistic
career may be accepted as any criterion
of the merits of a man.
The recruit of to -day }e a reasoning
man. The time is long gone since the
hot -head and the first -emotionalist enlist-
ed. Those left are the workers, men
Lt,•Col, J. A, Cooper an Old Clintonian
who must make sacrifices to go to the
front; and when they.dotake the
final
plunge they want to be shown that the
man who takes them into battle knows
his busness. Lieut.ut. Col, Cooperer does.
As a matter of fact, he has made a study
of soldering for years. That is because.
he has always been known among his
friends as a man with a number of
hobbies. And the pet hobby of his
hobbies was soldiering. While friends
were golfing Col, Cooper, then a captain
was soldiering, and though acquaintances
laughed at him for his dabbling in the
military, he kept it up,
Began Twenty Years Ago.
It is twenty-six years since he enlisted
as a private in the Queen's Own Rifles,
He was then a student at Varsity, and
"K Co." was still a University company.
He rose to be color -sergeant of his com-
pany, and in 1590 was given a commis-
sion of lieutenant, When he decided to
retire to private life in 1911, he was
transferred to the reserve of officers with
the rank of captain, Then came the
call to . -arms. Captain Cooper's name
remained on the list of reserve officers,
and when Loaerogg Gen. e eaten that there
