your Yours very sincerely Rye Lee Cop Can Ball What the shrewdest critics complain of is not the slackness of the Govern ment In recruiting but the wasteful and inefficient methods It employs Common sense and an eye- to economy are the two things most needed at now The post humous Kitchener tributes to Major General Sir Sam Hughes are a pale substitute for real ideas on the part of the Minister of Militia The General opinion Is that If Sir Sam did less prancing and more hard work things might get along better It goes without saying that no Cana dian could favor compulsory service of Canadians In a war three thousand miles distant Our assistance to the Mother Country in this great world war is a true gift of the spirit and how eager that spirit is may be seen by the measure of our help already To co erce thai spirit by compulsory service would he to wrench if not to sever the strongest tie that binds the British Empire together It is a safe prophecy that there will never conscription in Canada except in defence of our own shores and the chances are that it will not be needed Not to put loo fine a point on it the Militia Act covers the ground already and no further leg islation would be needed Meanwhile there is no valid reason why the Government should not in augurate a system of registration which would serve the purpose of providing a list of eligible recruits and protect workers who are needed at home from the indiscriminate of the What the recruiters need above- everything else is a definite statement of those who can be approached without detriment to the industry welfare of the country If the five hundred thousand mark set by the Borden Government is to be any thing more than stage thunder for the Germans to hear it must be arrived at in a reasonable way The out the Idlers the young men with no responsibilities and the woods are full of them- are the to be reached The present methods reach too few of this sort and too many others whose real duty and highest usefulness is at home Many invidious comparisons have been made as to what this province or that province Is doing in the way of recruiting It has been said for ex ample that the West Is more loyal the because proportionately it has furnished more menhir the war This Is only a half truth which disap pears when we consider that the West is- largely made up from young men of the whom the hazard of new fortunes took to that part of the coun try As a matter of fact all the pro vinces are doing Iheir duty The fault lies in the system of recruiting which overworks some parts of Canada and underworks others For example one great recruiting iiy In Ontario Is at present the centre for nine regiments in process of formation if two regiments instead of nine were recruited at a time the results would work out much better Not only would two regiments fill up more quickly but the expense of main taining a skeleton organization for the other seen would be cut out until their turn came As mailers stand now the best method has been chosen to kill time and keep Canadian regi ments from the front as long as pos sible Under this plan some regl- nients have been recruiting ever since the war taxied others have got as far as When reflects that nothing chafes an eager soldier like Inaction one can easily see what a depressing effect these stupid de lays must he In recruiting Another discouragement is the way In which trained regiments from Can ada are broken up after they reach At St at the bloody salient of Urn have earned a name for themselves and by the same token they have earned the right to keep that name for Iheir own glory and Inscribe It on their own banners recruited Canada should receive some assurance they will be kept together when they reach the firing line and that chums who nihil together will not be drafted to dif ferent parts of the field The Canad ians have Shown their mettle They need no British bat talions are as good soldiers as any In the world Whats more their officers lately at least have been thoroughly well trained as well train ed at all events as the officers Eng land IB now providing for her citizen army and should be allowed to retain their commands after reaching the front We have yet lo see the hoy who Is good enough to supplant a husky young Canadian lieutenant who knows his book The next time Major General Sir gam Hughes lo he should discus this mat ter with the War Office It Is far more Important to Canada than his views on the salient or his high opinion of Colonel John Wesley Another leak that can be stopped Is the matter of double pay to p colonels are supposed to be rais ing regiments who are raising wind The difficulty can be solv ed very easily A man Is an M P or a colonel according to the duty or which he Is actively engaged If his duty calls him to the House of Com pons pay him his sessional Indemnity as a Member of Parliament If duty keeps him at the head of his I merit pay him as a colonel of Expeditionary Force refuse to bleed their country by taking the separation allowance to which they are fully entitled But all the people In Canada are not poor proud Quite a few of them are rich and greedy and believe In taking all thats coming to them In one case that I have In mindand it is only one of many- the mother of a Cana dian officer who la in receipt of his full civil salary of a year while he Is on duty at Shorncilffe draws his full separation allowance and applies it to the rent of an expensive apart ment which she keeps locked up while she Is in England to be near her son The Militia Department could save this country a lot of money by paying separation allowances only where separation allowances are need ed to keep want from the door Peo ple who regard the separation allow ance as extra pocket money handed out by a generous country should be given to understand that they are nothing more than spongers HO TIME8AVER8 whole A Toronto News Reporter visited the York County Council while in ses sion last week and gives the ratepay ers of the County a glimpse of the Council Chamber and what he thinks of the methods business It says Persons who are dissatisfied with the way in which the Toronto City Council transacts business would find It interesting to pay a visit to the old gray stone County Buildings on Ade laide Street East and attend a meet ing of the York County Council Perhaps the decorations of the Council Chamber have something to do with the lack of energy exhibited- by the County Councillors There Is absolutely no doubt that the wallpaper was hung no earlier than the TOs Or the early The draplngs of the Wardens are blue a very appro priate color especially when Council meets on a rainy day The canopy Is surmounted by a crown which from the standpoint of age might be a relic of the coronation of Henry VIII The whole chamber has a dilapidated pearance which would hardly lead one to believe that the County of York Is one of the wealthiest rural munici palities In the banner Province of the Dominion Their Dellberatloni The proceedings of the County are described as deliberations Consequently when the Deputy Reeve of or the First Deputy Reeve of Scarboro or any but a few of Ihe older members are asked to take the chair the pro- ceedlrigs dp not run as smoothly as similar proceedings at the City Hall when Aid McBride sets himself out to make a record for Yesterday afternoons session was marked by only one spirited speech was delivered by Reeve Jona than Nigh of Markham The ques tion under discussion was the making of a grant towards the Goods Roads scheme The people are getting tired of Ihe way In which the whole thing has dragged along declared the Reeve If Government cannot finance the scheme let them say bo Any further discussion asked the chair man a slight pause then If It is your pleasure Ill report the bill adopt ed Not All Work Either Yesterday was the ninth day the Council had been in session Of was not all work and no play On Tuesday members were the guests of the Warden to Niagara Today they are with Bat talion at Weston A sidetrip was also taken to the Humber to Inspect a pro posed bridge These relaxations break the monotony of the hours spent In the dingy Council Chamber For their services to the municipality the members receive the sum of per day together with mileage to and from their homes each night and morning Teh cents per mile Is allowed for the latter expense Last year there was a total of 23 days sessions for which the majority of the members received The mileage ranged from to making a total cost to Ihe county for attendance and mileage of The Importance of speed at the meeting is therefore apparent Altogether may safely be said that York- County Council has discovered no methods of limesaving which the Toronto City Council could profitably adopt YEARS AGO I- From Era July year of her age Mary Millard wife of Mr John Millard of Whit church She was married In Pine

look The most frequent criticism of the Toronto City Council Is that the mem bers talk too much Not so York County Councillors They spend too much time getting ready talk Of course in fairness to the re presenting the other municipalities In cluded In the County it Is hardly to be expected that any great amount of en thusiasm should be aroused oyer such questions as whether or not new rails shall be laid on the southeast approach to Tooles Creek bridge or whether or not culvert he repair ed this year These are not what might be termed excitable subjects for discussion yet they form lib small proportion of the business of the Coun cil The appointment of a Fire Chief or the patriotism of Alderman are questions which supply much greater material for a spirited debate so that the York County Council is un doubtedly handicapped when compared with the body which meets at the City every two weeks But the old copybook motto Put off Is not done with might well be framed and hung up In York

the afternoon sun streamed through the dusty windows Hour arid a Half Late At exactly lhe Warden counted heads and found that were sixteen out of a possible thirtysix members present He therefore mounted the dlas and rang the bell But It was hardly to be ex pected and the members would con sent to be hurried The Warden himself evidently thought that he had been hasty for he vacated the seat of authority and took a stroll around among the members Seven or eight minutes Inter he again mounted the steps of the dlas and deferentially touched the bell This time papers were aside feet were lowered to the floor and council got down to business Work pons Thoroughly York County Council In doing its work thoroughly There Is no talking It as read- When a Bill Is read three times It Is read
