The plans were formulated with
General Elmaley. the commander. As
already announced the force will con-
sist of 400 Canadians along with a
British battalion, and several other
units which will bring the total up
to six or seven thousand men. This

is the first time that British soldiers

mand of a Canadian-born leader.
While the Canadian force will be
comparatively small, General Mew-

ovory respect and of such a high
character as to maintain the glorious
reputation as lighting nren the Cana-
dians have won upon the fields of
Flaniiers. its organization and train-
ing will necessarily be slow, but it
will be ready -for mobilization and
transportation at a comparatively
early date.
