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-

times lower than were paid for the first

cial Temperance &tuati ra.
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

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.

letter written recently to • friend of

appeal for maple products, botharae

filled to the doors with sick and
wounded and everyooe is doing Ids
best to make the moo happy. In con-
oection with tale appeal for maple
syrup and sag r, CoL Dorrell says :-
"We opened a• cam front home the
other day and found • few cakes of
maple sugar in It. The men went
crazy with delight when it was given
to them. It was her sum 1 saw their
great pleasure that 1 am emboldened
to ask you it you will contribute some
of your valuable product to the com-
fort of the sick ani wounded. 1
