I OTTAWA. Close to 100,000 armed men rep- resents Canada’: first reaction to Great Britain’: declaration of war against Nazi Germany. A swift change came over the face of Canada’s defence situation during the past week, and the Dominion has swung into ecton with a speed and e smoothness that are in striking contrast to the confusion of 1914. The military forces tell the most eloquent story. Even prior to the crisis which preceded the war, enlistrments in the militia had received I powerful stimulus from the visit: of the King and Queen. A non—permanent militia force of 6.200 officers and 41.000 men—-corresponding to the British Territorial Army and the United States National Guard-—had been boosted to approximately 55,000 all ranks. 3 With fullrein flven bspecified units to recruitup tofull strength ‘however. in view of the intemat- lional situation. this figure has ]already been doubled-and re- cruiting is only beginning. Within ithe framework of the militia there is room for an establishment running close to 250,000 men. »These would be distributed a- ‘mong 88 infantry and 20 cavalry regiments. 87 batteries of field artillery. 24 field Howitzer bab- teries, 20 heavy batteries, 18 med- ium batteries and four anti-aircraft batteries. These figures apply to the nan-permanent militia only. Permanent Force On top of that, the permanent force, which has received an ac- ce;s of strength within the past few days and now numbers around 5,000. is represented by three in- fantry regiments, two of cavalry, three field batteries of artillery, one medium, three heavy and one anti-aircraft battery. In both the permanent and non-permanent; force consider- ation has to be taken also of the “admlnistratlve" units. such as Army Service Corps. Engineers. signal Corps and numerous branches not ordinarily classified with the “active fighting" units. Canada's two destroyer flotlllas, four on the Pacific and two on the Atlantic coasts. were to have been reinforced this year by e. flotilla leader. scheduled for pur- chase from the British navy. The advent of war has. however, put that out of the picture. Four ininesweepers distributed evenly between each coast. completes the fighting wing of the Royal Canad- ian Navy. its present personnel is in the neighborhood of 2.200 rank; and ratings. with possible LOND_0N.
