WHY CANADIAN SOLDIERS ARE NP HOME "Up to Wednesday last the Britiih had repatriated one and a half million soldiers and391300t erffieeri. The United States figures were practically the same. Canada had returned be- tween 59,000 and 55,000 in all. "Our men are coming to England at the rate of 1,000 per day, and our whole army is on the march from the Rhine. Everything was stopped on ,Thursday last, and alI our men held up bec.ause Ottawa imperatively called the aiitherities- here not to send big batches of men," "In other words the military au- thorities here are not to use sillies carrying oVer 2,000 soldiers,thecatise our Ottawa civilians ate unwilling or unable to handle the men when they reach Canada. , "Appirently they will not build a landing camp at Halifax or St. -John. Because of these orders from Ottawa it is impossible for us to use the Olympic and -Aquitania, which the Itritish had, alloted to. us, and these' vessels have been turned over to the Melted States. Our meet, muse now take the small vedsels and endure the discomfort and decided danger of yvinter trivelling on the North At- lantic in vessels of the Scotian, North- land, Scandinavian type. "The whole thing is the gravest possible wrong to our fighting men, and not only may we expect further trouble of• the Northland class, but we will be exceedingly fortunate if• some of these smell steamers are not loSt with all on board. "Ottawa is open to grave criticism for theinsignificant number so far demobilized. They deserve unmitigated censure for lack of demobilization plans and adequate preparation to handle every man that all ships could land. Nothing can excuse the orders frime Ottawa that turned, the Olympic and Aquitania to the help of the United States at the cost of additional banishment of thousands of our home- siek boys for many months." 'If Sir Robert Borden, Sir Edward Kemp, Sir George Periey, and probably our Quertermaster-General in London.. cotild be immediately repatriated, I fancy the army over here would suf- .fer no material lose. Borden is neer heard of over here en connection with the peace conference, and is useless there. He has taken no decided stand for Canada, and is looked upon here as • weak and lacking aggresive decision. Hughes; of Australia, on the contrary, is everywhere admired, and already 360,000 .Britishers have made appli- cation to emigrate to his far dominion. None are rushing to get to Canada. Thus does the individuality of a lea& er affect this country. • "I have carefully investigated els the above, and what I am- writing are hatd, cold facts. It eeems to me that you may be able to help our soldiers over here by your usual vigorous pol- icy, 1 am not anxious to be quoted unless you think it necessary. Sincer- ely your, • Arthur C. Pratt. , The above letter which appeared in the Toronto Telegram, was written from London , England -• on February and, by Lieut. Col. A. C. Pratt, Con- servative M. P. P. for Norfolk County and is a most illuminating document. It shows why our Canadian boys, some • of whom have' been overseas since almost the beginning of the war, are not being returned home and demob- . ilized as they should be or as Amer- ican and English soldiers are being E 4 I returned. It also shows clearly the • cause of the fatal roit at Kimnel Camp 1. although written before that occurr- ence, and it ie sad and unfortunate that any punishment meted out as a result of a forced enquiry into this riot, will fall almost entirely on the private seldier instead of an incoMpet- ent and even worse government where it belongs. That Canadian troops in England, and they are, nearly all in England now, should be kept there, in unsanitary camps, because an un- co•mpetent Government has not made and is not now making the necessary provision for them after their return is unspeakable. The people of Cana: da during the past two years and more have been hearing almost incredible statements about what, to say the least, could be called Government incompetence in the management of Canada's overseas troops, and when they are brought face to face with such exposures as the above backed by the sighature of a Cana.dien soldier and member of Parliament they must soon come to the conclusion that they are only too true, CROMARTY Notes. -A tea meeting will be held in the Presbyterian church at Crom- arty on Monday next, March 24th, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid A good programme is expected. -Rev.
