Copyright Ealtern Press An°ciation lll\l.`ll"AX. February 25th. --From the Ilort c-I -Halifax over 260.000 Cun- ndian soldiers have been dispatched overseas to the scene ot’ war. Of the great host, no nlall has been killed by accident llurlllgcnlbarkation or by attack of the enemy ell rollte. 'file nlen of' the "Silent Service" have brought their ships in and taken tileln out of this port in all sorts of weath- cr from thu zero of mid-winter to the torrid heat of nlidsunlmer, wltllc~ut s single “scare” to lossoll the monotony of illc operations. 'l'hcir work had beell greatly facili- tated by the business-like methods c-f the Elllbnrkatioll Stall Oiilcers. Col._ Lindsay and his sssistollts. Practice- llss brought the system rcnsollllbly ucar perfection. No nlnttcr how long troop trains are de-layed by snow and other troubles up thc line, zllld the storms have been a serious handicap during: the winter- tile men on their arrlvul in Halifax, never lniss ll meal. The officials want to send contented trot-ps on board the transports and a good lnenl ulakcs easy cmllnrkation. l-loyollti the Farewell. the operation is shnpic and expeditions. if the troop trains arrive closely enough to gclllcr. two or tilrec thousand men can bv, put aboard in n couple of hours, and at the end of that time tho onlllurkstlon pier will look almost as described as a Coney island landing l.talirc at tho close oi’ the season. A couple oi solltrles at the foot of the gtlllglvsy and one or two representa- tives of the transport are the only visible sign of-supervision. Bllt let no unauthorized person endeavour to not on hoard a transport- or, having not on board. attempt tc- get off. and :l bayonet promptly bars the way. Second thoughts are not encouraged. , tfold feet-that ls, mental cold feet, -are strictly taboo. The men who go un aboard ure counted and recounted. what would happen if a thousand men nt liailfax should shrlllk to 999 at the port of dellarkntlon is spr.-kell oi lritll hated llrentll. Perhaps the truns- llort would be sell( out again to hunt the Atlantic tiii the thousandth nlnll turllcd up. ' PAss!s. EVERYWHERE.

Even for working parties on llle lic-ck passes are- required. "SPEC- |.\L TOWN LEAVE" _is for the few who can convince the emberkatlon utlicer in charge that there is no danger and no delay ln selling will result. There are no family gather- ill5s at the enlbarkatlon pier, nor are the it-nd fareweils of yolltilflli lovers 1‘“00\lrHl!od; Tens of thousands of ‘"0" bliss from the trains to the pier “iid ilu out upon the transports with- out seeing any more of the city than 'hit l100ks and the grim grey citadel "'°°W“lll8 the town. As a port for Wal' DurDOBos, Halifax is specially “'¢ll adapted.

'rho great Wal' has once nlore demonstrated what tllo wars of the Revolution and "f Eilzhteen Twelve made plain. tllat whatsoever holds.
