conducted since Brig. Gen. W. A.
White started his campaign in the
United States, there is a spiendid
opportunity for 200,000 Canadians
and Britishers In this country to join
their bravo kinsmen in th British
and Canadian armies. In one week
recently over 800 men joined the
ealers men who felt that it was not
sly a dnty but a prlriiega to fight
far this war's issues side by side
with the soldiers of Krmce, Italy,
Belgium and the United States.
In Kngland there are a dozen
fuapi where regulars and tcrritor-
' lata are trained as officers for the
artillery, engineers, cavalry, in
fantry, tank and flying corps. Regu
lars are instructed at the lioyal Mili
tary College, Sandhurst, the West
Point of Great Britain. Many of
them are volunteers and they put in
a strenuous year of work before they
become leaders of men. The Boyal
Military Academy, Woolwich, is an
other great officers' training Institu
tion, and other ranpa are advan

The Red Cross takes charge of these kits of smoking material and dia

cent United States stamp and admitB the tobacco free of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Cross Society and as pre
occupied offieials as those of the French government will do these things to
see that our soldiers get a chance .to smoke, it isn't asking much to ask you
to set aside one cent a day for the purpose. . . , -
