Wonder is still felt in meny quar ters why the Canadian contingent, of whose valor and efficiency there have been no two opinions, should still be lying on the Plains of Salisbury in- st of in the trenches of Flanders. It ia beginning to be understood through various channels that the real reason is lack of discipline, It may disappoint many Canadians to hear ;this, but there is no reason why Canadians should not know what people in England are aps in formed" about. Valor, drill, physique and other virtues are all valueless without the cardinal virtue of disci pline.
