Sam Hughes, Canada's minister of war, who cele- brates his sixty- first birthday to- day, is one of the niost con- spicubus men of the day. Always in' the limelight, he 'first gained notoriety by his strictures in par- Hament on Gen- eral Hutton when the latter was chief of staff of the Canadian militia. This led to his being re- fused a commise sion in the first South African contingent, des- pite the wishes of the govern- ment. However, the colonel was ir- repressible and went to the front without the commission. Arrived at the scene of war he soon obtained employment in the intelligence de- partment. organized a useful corps of bicycle scouts. Later he commanded a mounted brigade. Though his ser- vices were ridiculed at home, on ac- count of the publication of some ae letters, yet it only needed the Tora Milner to. indeed distinguished little returns. But times : mendation of to his fellow- 5 are changing, and the dairy farmer is changing with them.
