"0! course we none ot tu liked the
dange hom cavalry to said al clear ot the Canadian Haunted llill in 5009013. speaking to a re- -peaantative ot the Canadian Gazette. 'hat-though the men grutnhled a bit at lint, they picked up their new work quickly. They had come over to iight. they said. and lf they could not iight aa cavalry they were ‘Nile rmdy to ight as infantry. Colonel Harry Boker, of Sherbrooke, who hendod the Sth C.M.R., deserved much credit. His regiment has been highly commended, and it is spoken’ of aa one of the best battalions in the -- Canadian Division. Colonel Baker, like other commanders. went on the excellent principle that you
must look after the men and let the oilican look after themselves. lt is a sound idea, and the men were de- voted to him."
Another officer of the C 3-l.l~t_ spoke
also of the change from being cavalry to infantry. The only Canadian cavalry left, he said. were the two permanent regiments, the RC Djs and Str-athcona's Horse, and also the Fort. Garry Horse. He went on to speak of the difficulties and confusion caused at tirst by the i-liatige. The men did not understand infantry drill, and at first it seemed as if not only was their cavalry equipment wasted. but also their year of training liut that year of training stood them in good stead, and they rapidly learned their new duties. indeed, the regi-
ments were already earning good reputations as excellent iniaxitry lint- tallons.
FRENCH CANADAAND WAR
Her Leaders Det:lare_Pu1-pose of Allies
and Canada’s Duty
¥\'riting of recruiting efforts in
.French Canada Sir Max Aitken says: Nor was the support of the French- Canadian politician: to the recruiting movement lacking. .\lr_ Oliver Asse- lin, one of the coacljutors of Mr. Henri Bourassa of the Nationalist journal, Le Devoir, declared that the cause of the Allies must be supported. and him- self offered to raise a further regiment for overseas service, appealing to the memory "Of the France of Joan of Arc, the immortal France of our an- cestors France that the world can lever forget." His offer was accepted and the late nialoontent, as ".\laj'or" Assolin, set about raising the li)2id Battalion. '
“lt is the pride and the privilege of
French Cal’ ada," declared Hon. Mr. Casgrain. “that in this great cause we shall assume our full share of the burdens imposed on our common Empire." “We come to this House,” said Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in January." 1916, “with one aim only; to contri- -iute, as lar as may be in our power. J the nnal and complete victory of ne .Allies over Germany. Our su- -reme aspiration is that Belgium shall again be free, and as prosperous as she was»-if that be possible in view of the awful rlestructioii she has suf- fered. It is our aint, also. that France shall have her lost territory and her natur1.l boundaries restored to her and that old England shall retain, unim- pairsd and undlnzuinished as ever, her pretlige and her power in the world."
