When war broke out in August last it found Great Britain a long way short on point alta, mark 7 ammuni- tion and an S. 0. el. call wen sent out to Mayor -General Sam Hughes to get all he could at the best price possible. In other words. the War Office ap- pointed the Canadian Minister of Mil- itia itsagent for the purchase of small - arms aututunition in North America, and that job Major-lieneral Saw holds to this day. The Major -General's first or.',er was for seventy-five million rounds, and they were laid down in Canada for 113 t.50 per thousand. Since that time many hundreds of millions of rounds have been pur- chased in the'United States and Can- ada at prices sometimes higher. some- times lower than were paid for the first order.

A meeting of the Citizeni Socid Ser- vice League was held in Temperance Hall on Monday evening and was well attended. about forty representative business men of the town being pres- ent. Reports were presented by the delegates to the county and Provin- cial temperance conventions. Mr. J. H. Colborne presented tbe former and Mr. G. M. Elliott the latter. A motion was passed endorsing the action of the delegates to the county convention in appointing Rev. E. G. Powell organ- izer and field secretary for auotber term of one year. A considerable di.cumion followed as to ways and means of raising the salary of the field secretary and it was decided to have • repreeeptative in each congregation canvass the mem- bers of the church to which he belongs and endeavor to raise the amount apportioned by the ezerutive com- mittee by personal contributions. it was stated that since August last twenty-three convictions bad been registered at the police court for in - heel ion of the liquor laws and about $700 had been Laken in fines ; one-half of these c ssrbad been directly the result of Mr. Pellow's efforts. The ponce magistrate had given ju.t ice on the whole and considering tbe little remuneration he received it w:tr rug• gested that he receive all the support possible by this cur ..nization. Reeve Rohr. Elliott was present and Was asked why the town count it had turned drawn the,equest of the tem- perance delegation which recently waited upon dwith the request that Crown Attorney Seeger be appointed W prosecute all liquor cases. He said he had voted troth in committee and in open council to grant the request. but had been told in committee that he talked too much. and at the council meeting be could not get a seconder to his motion, although one of the coun- cillors had promised to support it. In the matter of setting aside one-third of the amount collected in fines for the prosecution of liquor cases be under- stood that it wan the law and would be adhered to in the future. At the close of the meeting the fol- lowing resolutions were unanimously tarried : That a resolution of com- mendation of the work of Mr. W. T. Petiole be drafted and that he be amured of the wholehearted support of the organization That • resolution be drafted and published in the press pretesting against the decision 111 the magistrates in the reeent charge against the bar- tender of the Bedford hotel and the danger incurred in making such a pre- cedent.

Let's pot one in for your while yna are renovating your Fred Hunt dence of the British Government. At all events Dr. Pugsley wants to know something about this purchasing board which operates from New York under tbe authority- of the Minister of Militia for Canada. The Major-Gen- eral will not produce his corteepood- enoe with the British War Office? No? Very well, will be answer • few questions? To be sure. The facts cotne out one at • time. the way King John drew tbe-Jews' teeth. The stony with the gaps filled in is that the pur- chasing board consists of s Colonel Mor- gan, formerly a British officer : Major Thomas, another British officer, • motor expert who has eherged the I)omiolon of Canada 110.1100 for two utonths' patriotic services in cleaning up the chaos in the transportation de - pertinent; Honorary Colonel John Wesley Allison, and -the Major-Gen- eral. Dr. Pugsley is rather pressing in the matter of Colonel John Wesley Alli- son. Who is this gentleman with the evangelical name, so evangelical that it almost looks likean ambush? It tran- spires that he is secretary of a sleepiug car company and has been interested in Caoadlan power franchteea before now. He is & native son who found Canada too small for his abilities. "He is a man of honor," says Major- General `Jam, "and a patriot. He i, • friend of mine. 1 have known him for thirty-five years.' A brave little speech which reveals the defects of Malor-General Sam's qualities. Witb hint friendship is almost • vice. He believes nobody can go wrong who bas ever come under his good influence. The conse- quence is that he is entirely sur- rounded by patriot. who offer to put. fat contracts through purer for ld long sync. not caring a purely for profits. Naturally Dr. Pugsley shows solici- tude for a Minister of Militia who is so trustful of old friends that they may be tempted to put something over on,. him. It lends point to his next remark. which le the final shot in this battle of wits. "Major McQuar•rie ars your friend, too Silence greets this remark. McQoarrie is a sore touch with the Major-General . The Major, who has had a variegated career since he was one of Sam's pupils at the high school In Lindsay. swore in the public accounts committee the other day that he had acnepted twelve hundred dollars for his influence with the Min- ister of Militia. Of course, the Major- General was unaware of his influence. but McQuarrie got paid Inc it just the same. He showed the receipt. However. all's well that ends well. The House ia greatly relieved to ftnd that the Major -General's only weak- ness is friendship. His al.eolute dentals put an end to an simnel rumor that the New York purchasing board had failed to figure aa close ea might be in its contracts for the British and other Governments. H. F. GA DRAY.
