GOES OPERATION.

Fifty Thousand Now in Train
ing in England to Do
Their Bit
(By F. W. Getty, United Press Staff
Correspondent.)
Wttley, England, April 16 (By Mail;
Canada's part in the great war is
not nearly played. Fifty thousand
brothers of the Canadians "who saved
the day at Ypres," are here today, get
ting ready to carry on the share of
the burden the Dominion has shoul
dered.
Spread out over the rolling hills of
Surrey are the two greatest Canadian
camps in all England. Here, in what
was once a wilderness of pineand
spruce and ivy, Canadian officers are
drilling Canadian men to take their
places in the big offensive, already un
der way on the west front.
Witley, the largest of the camps,
and Bramshot, where the raw recruits
fresh from Saskatchewan or Nova
Scotia are drilled are exclusively;
Canadian organizations. ine iew
units of Americans have moved off,
to the front. Imperial offiC3rs are
here only on visits.
The result is that the spirit of Can
ada and a new-found efficiency, which
the commanders declare is making
the over-seas forces the finest trained

This is the time of year when own
ers of apartment houses sit in front,
f a hie- ornate fireplace, ask the but-;
ler to hand them the phone and call
up the janitors to tell them to put out
all the fires in the furnaces for it
is May, and if it isn't warm it ought
to be. As a result the apartment
house dwellers huddle around the si
lent radiators and shiver. It is a
hard' and fast rule that no heat is to
be furnished after May 1. And yet
people .will live in apartment houses.

These Canadians today are differ-j
ent from the first over-seas contin-'
gent. And those that came, with the
first call have changed, too. In 1914
and 1915 the complaint among the
British officers was that while the
Canadians "fought like the devil"
they were not well-disciplined and
weer apt to run wild. Today the
same old dash and fearlessness is
there, but the Canadians are doing
something even more useful for the
Allied cause. They are making rec
ords as the best-disciplined, best
trained units of the British army.
Canada and Britain and the Allies
can thank Bramshot and Witley for
i this new-found efficiency which has
ing for you.
