Dr. Borden replied, to the statement
Meths by Mr. McCleary, thet when a.
tenupane of milttia. were called out at.
Thorold recently there was no am-
munition, that in fain the battalion
had 110 ammunition. If there was no
ammunition, tbe commanding office
of the baetalion wits alum, to blame,
By
it general order, issued in 1$98,
each commanding offieer Was requiree
to keep in reserve at regimental head,
quarters fifty rounds per Nettie°, or
rifle, of their establishuleut for use in
service in aid of the eivitpower, Del for
active service. Headquarters Was
not in any 'may responsible in this
case,
Mr. ik.feCleary said that( he had also
said in the House that there was no
ainatunition in Hamilton, Loudon or
Toronto, reading an article in The St.
Catharines Star in suppert uf Iiis
statement.
Dr. Borden replied that auyone who
made such a statement did not know
what he e as talking about. As a mat-
ter of fact, the officer commanding
this partieular battalion had this day
sent forward s requisition for the am-
munition whieh he should have had in
store constantly. Be explained that
there is an ample supply of ammuni-
tion at Toronto and London, and it sup-
ply at Hamilton. Owing to the fact
that the a,mmunit ion for the 12 -pound
guns was cordite and high explosive it
was kept al Kingston and Quebec,
where there was good magazine ae-
eommodation. The• batteries were
allowed to take ammunition home
from camp with them. •

forts be made to obtain information
ot the. men of the Co nedian contig-
ents who; were report e,i utiSSing Some

ference to Primate Morris of the first
conting,ent, reported, missiog four
weeks since, and whose parents were

news.
Dr. Bordereeenie there were fifteen
men reported missing some time :mice,
and Colonel Otter, who was asked for
a report afterwards reported they had
subsequently rejoined the regiment,
having been detained at Cape Town
owing to some improprieties. .How-
ever, he woad make further inquiries
ia reference to Private Morris, and
would be glad te giiie any information
he timid obtain.
Mr. Borden explained that the young
man in question fell out exhausted on
