GENERAL HUTTON’S REPORT

The annual report of the department of militia was presented to parliament on the 1st instant,

General Hutton’s report, which has evidently been edited, is dated Janu ary ist. He recommends that the

every encouranement be given to officers commanding regiments, to carry on the system of a_ regimental mess tent, tables and forms. Com- manding officers should have permis- sion to draw the allowance of $6 per company for the purpose of develop- ing such a system. A special tent, etc, of an autherized pattern, should be adopted as the universal pattern in order to insure uniformity in all camps. The serge frock has been definitely adopted as the universal uniform coat of the active militia. It is very Gesir- able that while retaining the uniferm and the characteristics in dress of the Imperial army with which the Can- adian troops always been have so close- ly identified, some badge er device distinctive of Canadian troops should be superadded. The General recom- mends that the helmet (Imperial _pat- tern) should beadopted as the head- dress of the militia upon which a smal! puggaree of liuen (silk for officers) will be worn. A different arrangement of

adopted for each branch of the service.

A headdress has not, up to the pres- ent, been issued by the gevernment. It has hitherto been left to the gener- erosity or zeal of individual corps to provide themselves with a head-dress other than a field cap, and he recom- mends that in future a helmet, except incases of certain specified corps. shall be issued to the Canadian troops in addition to the field cap. A “tuque”’ for winter use, which can be easily procured in large quantities and at small cost, should be issued when ne- cessary.

The general commends the issue of a fatigue suit of khaki, consisting of a loose jacket with stand and full collar, available for fatigue purpeses in peace or for campaigning and field service in war. This suitcould be washed and put away after each training, and would be undoubtedly popular with all ranks. Each man would thus possess a suit of serge clothing for paradc and ceremon- ial occasions, and a suit of strong khaki for fatigue, for sleeping in or for acampaign. ‘The provisions of such a suit would practically be covered by the present suit of serge clothing being made to last for four years in place of three, so that little if any extra cost would fall upon the public.

In the case of the city corps he re- commends that the issue of the khaki or fatigue suit shali be optional, and that the system now in existence, by which a serge suit is issued every three years or the money granted in lieu, shall be continued. The present tunic, belts, etc., may in this case continue to beworn. ‘The general is confident, however, that all city corps, Highlanc- ers, perhaps, excepted, will ere long adopt the plan now recommended for rural corps.

The generrl recommends the pur- chase of three more batteries of field artillery and 8.5-inch B. L. howitzers for the garrison artillery, besides six pom-poms,

The general also makes suggestions regarding the organization of an army service corps, an ordnance store corps, army medical services, army pay de- partment, corps of engineers, and a veterinary department. The govern- ment cartridge factory turned out over ! three-quarters of a million of 303 cor- dite ball cartridges during the six months, 3,144 R. M. L, g-pounder shrapnel shells, 718 R. M. L. common shells were made up in the same period. A small supply of 6-pounder shells have bcen manufactured and work be- gun on 5-inch howitzer shells. ~ A supply of material required in making up empty silk cloth cartridges was ordered from the War Office; in

the prettiest settlement of any size in South Africa. Inhabited by four thous ‘and whites and as many natives—in time of peace—it can boast, if it should be inclined to do so, of two daily and |two weekly papers, to say nething of | four hocels and the Bloemfontein club. The place. is situated near a plain, | surrounded ‘y low hills, none going to a higher elevation than two hundred feet. On one of these kopjes to the south is a small fort, erected by the British government as a means of de- fence against the Basutos. Near by is a simple monument to keep green the memory of those killed in the Basuto war of 1865-8. Like all South African itowns, Bloemfontein consists of a market square with streets and houses radiating in all directions. The habi- tants are rather pretty asarule, for Bloemfontein is (or was) the seat of | both the Anglican and Roman Catho. | lic bishoprics, as well as being a centre |of Wesleyan activity. And of course ‘civilization has followed in the foot- | steps of the churches.

A CANADIAN FOR THE VICTORIA CROSS. In a letter from Yeomanry Hospital, Bloemfontein, Private Hudon, of ‘“‘E” Company, R. C. R., who was wounded at Paardeberg, says: “You wiil be glad to hear that Surgeon Eugene Fiset, has been recommended for the Victoria Cross, for bravery on the field, and I assure you he deserves it, for he was the only doctor in the firing line at the battles of Paardeberg, Osfontein and Drietfontein. Rev. Father O’ Leary is also mentiened in the despatches to the War Office. This old man of 68 has always followed us en the march, and on Feb. 18th, at Paardeberg, he passed the whele day in the firing line, giving succor to the wounded and dy- ing.” This has not been reported in the official despatches.

BRITISH UNPREPAREDNESS.

The London Daily Chronicle pub- lishes an interview with Rudyard Kip- ling. When asked to what he attribut- ed the British military unpreparedness, he replied: ‘Mainly to the great British public, who have never taken the army seriously, and who have thus unconsciously encouraged the system of playing at soldiers; to people who have objected to rifle ranges, because they made a noise, or were dangerous te individuals who get in the way; te people who made as mueh fuss about a dozen soldiers going through a farm- yard as if a field day were a bean feast, and consequently helped to make pro- per manceuvers for many years an impossibility; and to people whe think an officer a cad if he wears the Queen’s uniform when not on actual duty. For y: ars we have heen preparing the way fur Stoermburg, Magerstontein and the rest. ‘Ihe vesult has been the loss of thousands of lives.

IT’S THE OLD STORY.

A Well-Known Toronto Gentleman tried all the Catarrh cures heard of for years; at last Japanese Catarrh Cure removed every symptom ofthe disease. it cures perma- nently.

Mr. W. B. Williams, 254 Church street, YToropte, writes :-"' I] have used Japanese Catarrb cree for catarrh, and believe it te be an article of superior merit. It has given me immediate relief, und cured me completely of acute catarrh, which had troubled me for years. I believe I have tried every other remedy known for catarrh, but in each instanee my catarrh retorned. It is pow some time since being cured with Japanese Catarrh Cure, and I have since peen free from every symptom of the dis- ease. I can highly recommend this remedy.° Trice, 50 cents, by ali druggists.
