We have a good Inspector and Chief of iPolice who arge lives wires and who are live wires and who wWill see to it that the letter of the law is lived up to in every particular." Touching upon the argument about the manufacture of the munitions of war, Mr. Kingstone said, "of course we are making them. We are only Gdoing our duty. But there has bgen ro request from â€" the marufacturers of these munitionsy presented here to stop the sale of liquor." "Do the employers of labor desire it;’” asked the licensee‘s counsel,. "They are in a better position to judge if it is interâ€" ing with their employees. â€" But they have not forwarded a petition against it.". I Chairman‘s Warning Chairman Flaysile putâ€" it plainly and very emphatically up to the 1liâ€" cense hbholders what would happen if they ‘broke the law. He pointed out that the policy of â€" the government and commission vas restriction. He Gefined clearly the powers of the Board which are far reaching. â€" He was glad to receive the survey raport and said that Mr. Kingstone was quite correct, he should have a copy and he would be given ample opporâ€" tunity to meet the charges contained therein‘. The Board hoped .to vigit every hotel in the city and county when they would get a more intelliâ€" gent idea of the prevailing conditions Mr. Flavelle said he was much imâ€" pressed with what Mr. Hara had said and would look irto conditions _ at Merritton. He complimented Mr. Wiley on his eloquent appeal, his &râ€" guments would weigh very strongly with the Board. "Hotels that have no registers asâ€" sume the responsibility that they are simply saloons and not hotels and it will tell markedly against â€" them," slowly declared the chairman. Continuing( he said the Board had listened with interest to Dr. McArâ€" thur. He personally and on behalf of the commission was gratified that the experiment at. Niagara had been such a decided success, which. even some of the hotel keeners themselves admitted,. The commission have a duty to perform, "We must use 1good common sense. It might be . too drastic a measure to adopt in cutting off Niagara for good, he continued. "We have to consider all shapes â€" of opinion." Touching upon the seven o‘clock closing proposition, Mr. Flavelle stat ed that the suggestion was receiving great consideraticn by both the govâ€" ernment and the commission. It was possible that at â€"the present stage gnd during the war some restrictions would be made. Chairmian Flavelle rext raised the point of the close proximity of hatels to public works and said the commisâ€" sion would be largely influenced by Trequests from â€" supnerintendents of public works or other factories. It was imperative that a petition should come from the employers â€" of labor Mr. Gardinier ‘and Mr. Lawson of Welland also spoke. ~For the Licensees Mr. A,. C. Kingstone on behalft â€" of the licensses said that some serious charges had been made against some Oof his clients which they had received no notice of â€"and which he was not i na position to immeet at present. He thought it would be only fair to have a copy of the specific charges and he would meet them at a later stage. He was sorry that his clerical friends had been carried away. They only stated half facts, not whole ones, in their angling after total prohibition. They know full well that the camp breaks up this month, There will not even be a battalion here, said Mr. Kingstone. Referring to the serving of soldiers in uniform, Mr. Kingstone said that his clients without any pres sure from the Government, but _ on their own free will had decided not to serve soldiers,. : And he‘ remarked that the license men were Oobserving that. The soldiers found under the inâ€" fluence of liquor at Niagara _ Camp don‘t get it in St. Catharines, â€" but come over from Toronto the Good,. on the boat. He touched upon the acâ€" ] tion of the liquor â€" stores in closing down on.the occasion of the 35th batâ€" talion‘s visit to St. Catharines. He Tidiculed the signing of petitions. "They don‘t know â€" what they are signing," he declared, and raised much merriment when he said . he could go around and get a petition to hang every man in the room, Rev. Mr. Brand referred to the con ditions at Homer. He said the people of Homer were Jdelighted with the re moval of the licecuse at Homer. He said the granting of the appplication next May would be a great disappoint ment to the people of Homer. Dr. McArthur of Niagaraâ€"onâ€"theâ€" Lake said the people were much deâ€" lighted with conditions during the last few months and they desire it to ‘be continued. He pointed out that during the past few months there had been very few people seen drunk on the streets. He asked that the same conditions prevail after the breaking up of the military camp. The withâ€" drawal of licenses did not affect the business of the town. The visitors _ to the city were grarter thigs year than ever before. Mr. Wiley, of Jordan, made an eloâ€" quent appeal for the closing down of the Jordan hotel. He said if it was closed it would ns no cutrage against plblic opinion. The population did not exceed 200 vadâ€" there were only 58 houses. The hotel is no longer â€" a Lotel, it is only a â€"drinking place, said Mr. Wiley. was being violatea. Liquor was sold after hours; Indiarâ€"listersg were sery ed and liquor was sold in bottles were the accusations made by Mr. Hara.

The Board were prepared to receive any reasonable request from the military authorities which would have the best and most favorable consideraâ€" tion..

You bet, can you keep it up ? f Thorold never started anything yet she couldn‘t keep up, even a scrap. f Good! we‘rs planning to keep the Thorold boys together so hurry them along. Good bye. 44th Regiment Headquarters Temple Building, Welland, Ont. This is Thorold. Yes,â€" Go ahead, Thorold. Hello! 44th Regiment ? "GOD SAVE THE KING" THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO ENLIST NOW! Donald Alex Wilson These lines were not untidy. Even the sentry who talked out of the corâ€" ner of his mouth and was never ’brought up at St. Margaret‘s College, or at Moulton, either, was as neat and smart as a professor of social deportâ€" ment. If this was the untidiest porâ€" tion of the camp the country could rest easy. In some other section, it is true the men had whitewashed all the uttle stones in that neighborhood, laid them down in alluring patterns and even produced signs of direction â€" by this means. One regimentol surgeon‘s tent had a doorstep made of white and red stones, forming, if you please, a superlatively saucy Red Cross. And yet, one hates to tell it, there were TWO pieces of waste paper descried blowing through the lines of â€" these Pargons of Regimental Purity. The fact is mentioned merely to cheer the souls of the hardy boys who had no whitewashed pebblesâ€"the boys whose lines were "the most untidy." Serious ly, no lines at Niagara are untidy. The men have a fine pride in the: appearâ€" ance of the camp and it is plain â€" to the visitor at every step. â€" _ One great improvement over the camp of last year at Valcartier is found in the new cook houses. The regulations provide a tent for cookâ€" ing. Flies became an annoyance after a month of sweet savors. So, "Which regiment has the most unâ€" tidy lines?" inquired The Daily News. The answer is nobody‘s business, but it cameâ€"and not without vigorâ€"from a dashing subaltern something less than ten feet high and three feet thick. Those were the lines best suitedâ€" for critical observation. After ten minâ€" utes of walking they were reached. It was the morning for â€" sunning the board floors of the tents. They had been brought out in their half circles and stood on edge to be. aired. All blankets were folded with neatness and piled with painful accuracy outâ€" sgside the door of each tent. Kit bags, great coats and all small _ property were arranged for inspection Down the long lines between the tents not a scrap of paper could be seer. From officers‘ tents to cook tents, bath enâ€" closures and latrines there was â€" no litter. .All was proper and soldierly. Members of the 5§th battalion have a song revilling the 35th and â€" with sportive humor declaring that the war is to be won by some other unit. Moâ€" desty does not forbid the singers menâ€" tioning the name of this otherâ€"the 58th. <It may be understood from this fact that there is a healthy, half huâ€" morous and half serious emulation beâ€" tween the battalions in camp. Brigade drill and a review took place on Saturday morning. The batâ€" talion swept past the reviewing point with the swing of perfected soldiers. No one can imagine how well â€" wide straw hats look until he sees 12,000 Canadian soldiers wearing them. The men were clad in khaki trousers, grey flannel.shirts and these "cowâ€"breakâ€" fasts‘"â€"a suitable and _ comfortable drill costumeâ€"indicating at least some gleams of common sense in the officers of high rank who are enrollâ€" ing, equipping and training our expeâ€" ditionary force. vain talk. Reoughly, such a statement does not even approach the truth. Commissioner Fred Dane remarked briefly that the hotel keepers knew row where they stood. It rested with them to keep the law. Referring to the three hotel keepâ€" ers who were up before the Board Tuesday at Toronto, he said the Board had not arrived at a decision, but he would say that the punishment will not be nearly as severe as it will after this warning, "Any breach of the law is tantamount to suspenâ€" sionâ€" on the cancellation of the liâ€" cense," said Mr. Flavelle in closing. instead of the police." (Continued from page 1) MOST CRITICISM One great fact about the Niagara camp is the superb earnestness of the men. No matter where one might go every soldier is seen fully abâ€" sorbed with the work in hand. Signai lersâ€" labored solemnly with bags and heliographs as if they â€" had reached the summum bonum of human activâ€" ity. Subalterns drilling small squads shot forth sharp admonitary comâ€" ment. Recruits were all ears and_ all eyes. The platoon of men practising trench warfare cheered like demonâ€" iacs when they got the order to charge the Teutonic sand bags a hunâ€" dred yards away. This last was an uncanny business and made one fealâ€" ize the devilish seriousness of the whole â€" affair. Regulation trenclies khave been aug, shoulder high, should er wide and protected with a sod par apet. On the side towards the enemy small footâ€"rests of board are arrangâ€" ed step fashion. Sturdy hand pegs bave been driven into the ground at the top of the tranch, so that the men can hop out of _ their concetalments in a moment. The "enemy trenches," three in number, have sand bags in the bottom and in rear of these is a row of rough ‘scaffolding supporting swinging sand bags. One moment the boys are utterly invisible in â€" their trench, The next they are over the parapet with rifle and bayonet, cheer ing, plunging forward over obstacles, leaping a little ditch which intervenâ€" es, and going into the "enemy" trench s with bayonet, butt, teeth, nails and knees. It is stimulating but a soberâ€" ing sight. Off duty the men are an army of skylarkers. â€" It was an illuminating experience to hear some hundreds of them, on leave, singing on the way to Toronto, Annie l.aurie was a favorite, so were the Tulip Song and "A Lorg, Long Way From Home.‘" A group of viriles and _ unconventional parodies made cheerful entertainment, but the most striking of all was the supreme example of mournful sentiment, "The Bonnie Bonnie Banks 0o‘ Lochk Loâ€" mond." The last two lines wrung the hearts of the norâ€"military folk,. Men Eeyond age, men with families, mek with physical disabilities, looked _ at that cabin of splendid manhood, that crowd of singing soldiers and were not ashamed of tears which could not be restrained. It was too terribly probable! It seemed a strange song for soldiers, and yet, not strange. They found no pathos. no terror in that raven‘s prophesy. They merely regarded it in a detached, impersonal way. They have made the sacrifice. The issue is as God â€"wills. So they can afford to be sentimental and even to sing with great power and fervor "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight.‘"‘ In Flandâ€" ers or in camp! Both honorable and fitting places for British gentlemen to be. God save all there! "And I and my true love will never â€" â€"meet again On the bonaie, bonnie kanks o0‘ Loech § Lomond," Some appendiciltis has appeared. At the stationary hospital on Saturâ€" day the officer in command was operâ€" ating, with nurses and with all â€" the aids ‘and accessories found in a perâ€" manent hospital. Other cases have keen treated and the recoveries have keen normal Convalescents in the hospital tents seemed happy and conâ€" tentedâ€"even under such unfortunate conditions. __‘"We get it," the said,;, ‘"from the river. It‘ is chlorinated and then subâ€" jected to the germicide action of the ultraâ€"viqlet ray. It comes to _ the camp absolutely sterile." All garâ€" bage is burned and all latrines have airect connection with the sewerage system of Niagaraâ€"onâ€"theâ€"Lake. They are spotless and odorless. One satirâ€" ist said to the writer that sanitary requiremenis in the camp were so strict that one could _ not lace his hoots without first â€" brushing his teeth! Since June, when the camp was established, an average of 5,000 men hasg been there daily, So far nrot a case of typhoid fever has occurred. There have been no meningitis. One regimental officer reported that he had hadâ€" no commun:cable dissase cases under treatment, and â€" at one time out of some 1,300 men _ under hig charge he had only four in hospiâ€" tal, one with a scalded foot and the others with minor and unimportant ailments. ; The fly problem being solved, other sanitary precautions came unâ€" der examination; "What about your water supply?" we asked a regimenâ€" tal medical officer. on?" If the soldiers get as hungry on that pleasing plain as some Peripateâ€" tic visitors do, the safety of the cloths is by no means assured. This brought to mind the tale of an English woman who left a pudding for her husband to eat when he came home from work. On her return she said "Did you like the pudding?" ‘"‘Yes," was the answer. "Where did you put the cloth?‘ The husband, puzzled, replied, ‘"Was there a cloth "Jim," he shouted, "show the lady that other kettle!" Jim took off the lid and displayed a boiling pile of pudâ€" dings, each enclosed in a cloth _ and bubbling away like mad. huts of rough framed scantling enâ€" tirely covered with wire fly screen have been erected and the cooks work theré with comfort and under most sanitary conditions. Out of an oven at noon on Saturday â€" one smiling khaki cook brought a magnificent roast of beef weighing perhaps 25 pounds. It nestled in a half bushel of brown potatoes, and a few gallons of brown gravy. With a big fork the cook turned that roast over, tested the potatoes and thrust ‘the pan back in the oven for another ten minutes. _ To a passing lady; he â€"said "You see, others besgides the. women folks can cook!" "That is apparent," she said, her mouth watering.‘ 'fl%«m{éfié\ s( 7 2 1915 )2 * » e‘ FOF.
