The British government disclosedto Sir Robert what had been previously dis-' closed to Sir Wilfrid about the imminence of a crisis, and supported its information by a memorantltiin from the admiralty which could be made public and another which coiitaiiicd secret information as to the state of .Europe and thc extreme danger of war pre- sumably which was cnnimunicated by consent to Sir \Vilfriil Laurier and the mcnibcrs of his late Cabinet. The effective clause upon which the action of the Bor' den governinent was taken is as follows:

urgent appeal by iiitroduciiig a bill to provide $35,000, ooo for three Dreiirlnoiiglits to be loiuied to the Bri- ti-_li government, and Sir \-Vilfrid Laurier iii the face of the secret information conveyed in the memoran- duiii :ibout the emergency, opposed the bill and ileifuiii il it in the Senate. _

And that is the kind of navy Sir Robert offered to
provide, but was baulked by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

departure from home of the different units:
viorking number.)
The nearest anniversary is that of the 98th, No-
vember 26th when` they will have been a year away from home. There should be some fitting recognition of the day. livcrybotly knows a number of 'l'.c boys and a letter from home to show them that not only is the annivcrsary dtily observed but that they iheinscl- ves are kindly remembered by their friends at home, would cert.'1inly be appreciated.
On the 13th of this month the Island’s largest unit
the 105th Battalion, will have been absent five montlis. A “io5th Day” on that date with letters and reineiir brances from the home friends -would be a worthy tri- bute and a heartening one to our boys.
Letters froni_ the boys both in England and. at thc
front tell always of the gnawing hunger for news from home. Every newspaper sent is eagerly read, advertisements :uid all, while the scrapbooks from the diifirent schools and the letters from friends aic veritable treasures.
And there is onething that should not be forgotten
especially at the Christmas season. It is this: ,There are some boys in all the units who receive little if any- thing from their own homes, possibly some who have no homes and no home friends. These, aswell as those more happily situated, are doing their duty, -scr- viiig their King and Country and are in every way worthy to be remembered, worthy of otir respect, worthy of our gifts, and any such would be even more greatly :ipprecirited probably than are the regular con- tributions from homes to loved ones. There are lonely boys in all the units and certainly the lonelicst are those who have no homes and no friends.
In writing letters to those whom we know these
others should be enquired after, their names and ad- dresses secured and this followed by a kindly letter and at Christmas ‘especially by a gift, be it ever so small. The boys, those who have homes and friends and those \vho have not, need all the en-

How Government intervened.
By anorder in Council, da-ted June
.'i0, 1915, the Canadian Governnment formed, at the instance of Sir Robert Borden, a Military Hospitals and Con- valescent Homes Coinmlssiion, “to deal with the provision of hospital ac- commodation and' mllltai‘y convales- cent homes in Canada for ofllccfrii, non-commissioned officers and men of -the Canadian Expedltlonary Force who return invalldetl' from the front.” The very able president of the Com- mission is Sir James A. Lougheed, and it has an efiloleut and enterpris- ing secretary in Mi: E. ll. Scainmell. The Commission has learned much by experience, and is today undoubtedly workliig on right lines. At first, tlile general idea was that convalescent. homes, where dlscliitrgeil' soltlllers would' spend' a short time for rest and refreshment, would* be the chief re- quirement, unil scores ot’ houses and hundreds of workers were placed at the disposal of the Commission. But this idea was soon dlspelled when lt. was found' that the treufnieii-t of the disabled soldiers wus`n. more serlioiis and lengthy business. Months or even weeks spent. in the atmosphere of such i1 home would tend' to injure ra- thei' than strengthen the physical and moral libre. Let us hear what Mr. J. S. McLennan, a member. of -the Com- mission, has to say on this subject in his introduction to she Cominisislon's special bulletin:-
The supply of coniforts whlcfil in
many cases were luxurious, the. relax- ation of discipline-, the treating ot’ men as one treats a civilian pilitlont in the interval between illness and' the resuming of ordinary occupation, which might do no harm if the ex- perience wiis to be couiiiteil in days, are most seriously d‘etrlmeiitiil to the best interests of the men whfen ex- t/ended over the prolonged periods which have been found' unavoidable. The first conception of the liomos was thu/t they were places of relaxa- tion; the right one which experience has taught us to rcnlize ls that they are places of rehabilitation. In other words. we are changing as rapidly as may be our convalescent homes into hospitals where. ln tlte interests of the men, their time will be fully occu- pied, their physical restoration mad'e as perfect as possible, and, from the beginning, the had effects of idleness
obvlated by employment.
These are golden words whioli those
who are responsible for our wounded
veterans will do well to remember.

If he belongs to Class Il or III., that ls, if lte has to receive i'urth):r treatment as a. convalescent, or has a permanent disability of any kind. he is Passedou to the appropri- ate institutions. If he is an ordinary convalescent he will be sent to the hospital nearest to his homo, but if he requires special, such as orthopae- d'lc treatment, he will go where that is supplied.
The Educational Feature. '
What I wish especially to emphasize
ls that at all theseihosplitals, schools are held where training of an elemen- tary and non-vocational character is given in English, French; mechanical drawing, arithmetic, wood-carving. &c. These classes are"opgn to all iminntos, whether they are able to return to their former occupations or not. But, from these homes and hospitals, the men who are not so able can bewiis- charged. to technical lustltutlions, ag- ricultural colleges, schools of telegra- phy, &c., where _they can he taught nevitwccupatlons which their disable- ment does not prevent. them from fol- lowing. And that is not all. for em- ployinerrrt ls practically assured to them hy the Provincial Commissions (under tide Federal Military Hospitals Commission) which have charged themselves with the duty of finding work and wages for the retumlng vet- erans. _ _
I should' add, that the men in the
homes and hpaplitals are fully maln- talned and that their pay continues
.for
as military illness is concerned, and'
to take up his former occupation, hc-
miirnblo, und fully roiilizcs the object. of thc Miliiui-y llospltiils tioiiiiiilssloii which. Mr. McLoiinini dclliics in these words:--

The aim of the Commission is to do i
its best for tho phyiilciil and' econoiniic woll~belng or ithe men, and to bring to bein' on lilm such liitluoiicos thiit he muy pnrforin for his country ia. service not less important. tlniii thoso of the firing line, namely, that, instead of beting nn idlo ward' of the Stiite, he becomes it shining exaiiiple to the young, of sell'~dcpenile~iico, of courage, and perseverance ln overcoinlug dis- abilities.
