Advance Dear Sit :—Please grant me the space to reply to the questions of "Curious" in your last issue. Taking them in the order asked my anBwere are, or I suppose the ques- tions are directed to the writer, as follows: - 1 The necessary drilling for the Expeditionary Force, the only branch of the Canadian Militia now being trained, is being conducted In London for this division by the officers of the overseas unite. .Any wishing to take it up may do so after the necessary formalities have been passed, As for drilling in the Armoury, when the Government gives me the authority and equipment 1 shall be only too glad to sacrifice my time and convenience to this end, 2 No, not solely for the purposes mentioned, especially "etc." 3 I do not know why it is necessary to take such a long time as mentioned by "Curious" to attest a man for an overseas Battalion, in fact such a lengthy period is not at all necessary. About two hours fast work will clean up the whole job, The ease mentioned however even took somewhat longer tbau stated by "Curious". I under- stand Private Brock did not leave Wingham until 0:35 a.m. on the 14th. of October. This makes it look still worse, doesn't it "Curious?" For the benefit of "Curious" and that portion of the public about whom he is so solicitous, I am at liberty to state that r Private Brock was not ready to go away until Thursday morning, the 14th, inst., and had his attestation papers post-dated for that reason. Thanking you Sir, and assuring "Curious" that he is only too welcome to the answers. I am Sir, Yours faithfully, N. T.

Stories are being circulated that the Canadian Red Cross Society is selling articles contributed to the organiza- tion for distribution among the sol- diers, For instance, it is said that a lumberman in Winnipeg found a oard from the donor of a pair of socks which he bought. So many stories of such a wicked diameter have been circulated by certain people, that Mr. Neol Marshall, Toronto, chairman of the Canadian Red Cross, has person- ally offered a reward of $100 for the conviction of" any person repeating this libel upon the society. The following cable received from General Rodgette, ©peaks of itself, It was addressed to Mr. Marshall—"Re- port that Canadian Red Cross Society selling any supplies whatever abso- lutely preposterous." Mr. Marshall not only vigorously denies these stories about the selling of supplies, but also declares that no salary whatever is paid to any officer of the organization, but merely to the necessary staff in handling the enormous quantities of supplies re- ceived daily.
