c.eet newspapers aciossitlie border to talk- ingof "war with England," which is a very unpleasant topic for the Christmas

er day, ‘this would mean the loss of

Canada at once." A correspondent resents

this and tells the Record that after being

in Canada many times, noting the loyalty of the people and studying the cam- paigns of 1776 and 181:! he concludes that all the forces of the United States could

nat conquer Canada in three years. “The

Virginia campaigns in the civil VVa,r would he a more imgatelle to it." Another correspondent tells the Record there are 123,000 Canadians in and within 10 miles

of Boston; that they are by far the best foreigh population that comes to the States: that they attend striclly to busi- ness. are enterprising, honest and indus-

trious, that they are not perpetually look-

absolute loss to the army has been l~i..l7<':`» oflleers and men. Of these Iill officers

and 3,113 men were killed in action, 93 ofiicers and 952 men died of wounds and

6,53G<lied of disease. Though there has

been agood deal of sickness, the deaths

from disease have been small compared with many previous campaigns. Andin no previous British campaign has so iarge a numberof the wounded made a

satisfactory recovery. This is due' in

p rt- to the nature of the wounds made by the Mauser ritie and to the comparative excellence of the medical and liosp-ital service.

It is just about as hard to induce a confimied invalid, especially one sulfer- ing with weakness of the lungs, to take the first step to health.
