As one enters the main gate to Victeria Barracks he finds the main guard tent at the entrance and the ever watchful ceatry pacing backward and forward, night as well as day to see that no barm befall the camp. This is military. Ono the right as you enter you find a single story bu. liing aod on enquiry you find this is the cook kitchen of the officers mess. This is not military. Then you passthe marquee where the officers mess, the recreation tent, the canteen and the officers quariers all posted in front. This, too, is not military. Farther tothe rear you fied rows of tents closely packed, yes too closely pack- ed together, with the men’s kitchens and other camp requisites in the rear. On this piece of ground there is encamped the 82nd Battalion (full strength) as weil as the Brigade staff, for tt must be remembered this 1s a brigade camp. Then, across tie road, some 600 yards away, the balance of the camp is to befound.

On wy fir-t visitto that portion of the! camp where the Camp Commandant had bad his tent pitched, I asked to be shown the quarters of tne officers commanding the Battalion. It was pointed out to me some fifty yards from the main entrance; but horor Of horrors, it wae raining and the grass was avkledeepandI had no rub- bere! Had there been adoor anywhere near | wouldbave baoged the door and gone home. I went home without banging the door, but not without first finding out that there was an appropriation for the purpose of having the grass cut,—but the work was not done. There is no blame to be attached to the un ilitia department or tothe District Officer Commanding for not making provjsiou tor the camp iw this respect. Io fact I am aware (bal the appropriation has already passtd through the hands of the District Paymaster. But it must be charged straight home on the sholders of the Camp Commandant for not seeing that moneys ‘hich paesed through his bande are expended for the purpoves for which they were intended. How can it be expected that nev Caan rise in Lhe morviog and wade through long wet grass to their regimental! parade ground and feel weil for tue bard day’s work that had been mapped out for them ? At the artillery quarters it is dif- ferent. The grass is cat snort, and in this respect everything looks as if the officers had some regard fur the healih of the camp.

la speaking with one of the company

officers the conversation turned on re- cruite, On being asked why there sre so

macy recruite in camp, he replied that the men donot Ike the treatment they re- ceive in camp. They don’t like having to eat and sleep and Jive in the same quarters, Siting down on one’s bed and eaiing pea soup and “buily-beet,” as the war cor- respondent Stevens would put it, is re~ volting to men possessed of any degree of 19ch century reficement. The matter of eating is the most, perplexiny one that tle wilitia of Caneda bave to meet, and better arrangements should be made, at once or, the Young Canadian will throw patriotism to the dogs and eat his food in decency in in biS Own diningsrcome.

Some fourteen years ago, the then arma of the service belonging to the Province were ordered to drill at “Camp Hunier’s River.” The Charlottetown Engineers were there and enjoyed the roughing of camp life witvout a murmur excep'ing the tood question. They found they could not keep their tents as clean as they wished eo long a8 they ate in the same place in which they slept. The commandant of the camp, Lt.-Col. Beer was appied to, and he granted permission to the Evyineers to erecta booth in which they mizbt mess apart from their sleeping teuts, providing their doing so did not inteifere wih the regular parades. Axes, b ll hooks and gabiou knives were soon brought ioto ser- vice. Ine booth was put together with rope lashings and w:thes and with a rough deal table and seats around made from

boards carried from the “wind mill” pear by, tLe “gallant forty” weie! ensbled to eat there meals like

bnmeau beings. The suggestion for this convenience came from (if I remember rightly) that sterling young officer, Major Davison, of the 4th regiment, who was then & nOn-com, in the engineers, and was readily secouded by that nest of al] com- manding officers, Major George Degherty. Is there any wouder that Mejor Davison io-day commands the best artillery com- pany in Canada and is easily the most popular company officer in the province? Year after year this officer finds it una necessary to enrol recruits, even death itself seemed loath to separate the officer from his men orthe men frow their offi-

| is ended they will shake their fists in the | face of the hard usage they received in

camp sod and return to itnomore. Who can blame them? This is one great rea~ s0n why the Nationa! Army of Canada, as Geners! Hutton is pleased to call it, finds itself largely made up of recruits.

Do not let it be understood that the writer expects the officers to put their hands into their private purses and provide eating compartments for the men. The officers put their hands in often enough in providiag themselves ith uniforms and equipment, etc. If itis worth havinga military force in Canada, the Government should pay more attention to its well-being when in camp, and make the life of the youvg soldier a little pleasanter.

It may be eaid that the soldier should be taugt! ia time: of peace bow to live on the battie-field in sight of the enemy. This is quite trae. Batit does not take a life time to lea’n that, or we should never sliow our soldiers to sit at table in barracks. Then there is anocher trath that must not be lost sight of, viz: That a soldier who is not trea'ed as a rational being in times of peace will be the most likely to behave irrationally and uneoldierly in time of war.
