Horses auc guns are needed and in .all probability these will be coming in the near future Petawawa camp is supplied with plenty of horses for the training of the batteries there, and it is likely that a shipment will be diverted to this camp.

McKinnon In Com- mand. | The Cobourg Heavy Battery, with headquarters at Cobourg, which is now recruiting its fifth overseas draft, has an enviable record, both past and present. Organized in 1866, its members have seen service in the Fenian Raid, North-West Rebellion, and South African war, and four times have won the Governor-Gene- ral's Cup for general efficiency in big gun competition at Halifax and Que- bec. When war was declared on August 4th, 1914, the Cobourg Heavy Bat- tery was the first volunteer company in Canada to be ordered on active service. It left Cobourg on Thurs- day, August 6th, with a strength 'of 4 officers and 120 men, having been given twenty-four hours to get ready. drafts to Lhe heavy artillery have left Cobourg, and have done splendid work at the front. The fifth draft is now being formed. The promise of getting overseas as son as draft is complete, and the fact that the heavy artillery is one of the most interesting branches of the service, attracts a high class of men. Major J. MeKinnon, Cobourg, is the popu- lar officer commanding, and he will be pleased to give any information desired by those interested. ADJUTANT KYLE ROUSES | -------- The Fury of Iroquois Editor Against the Huns. The following paragraph in the Iroquois Nhws, penned by Editor Pel- ton, is right to the point: "Capt.

Kyle says there is no | use hesitating or humbugging with We are in for it, and | must pay the price of the victory that is sure to come.

GOING TO VALCARTIER -- Major 8. F. Anderson is Being Trans- ferréd to That Camp Major 8. F. Anderson, G.8.0., is transferring to Valcartier and will go on the G.S.0. staff there. Major An- derson wears the medal of the Dis- tinguished Service Order, having won that honor in the present campaign while in command of a company from Calgary. It is hoped that the Major will be returned to duty at the close of Val- cartier Camp, to this district, as he is considered a valuable officer.
