CANADA WILL SEND
20,000 MORE HEN
Prime Minister Borden Gives
Out News of Another Army
for Great Britain.
I TOTAL WILL BE 55,000
Seven Thousand Horses Are Also
Provided and Organizations Are
Thoroughly Equipped to
Engage in Warfare.
OTTAWA. Out., Oct. 6. Canada will
raise immediately and send to the front
a second expeditionary force of 20.000
men with a first reinforcement of 10
per cent, making 22,000 in all. This
decision was reached at today's Cabinet
Council. The second contingent will
bring the total of Canada's force at
the front up to more than 60,000 men.
Sir Robert Borden. the Canadian
premier, made public tonight the action
taken by the Council. In a statement
regarding the situation he said:
"The government proposes forthwith
to organize and train- a second ex
peditionary force of 20,000 men with
first reinforcements of 10 per cent,
making 22.000 in all. This force will
be organized as expeditiously as pos
sible and the. arrangements for pro
viding the necessary ammunition
and equipment are already in prog
ress. The government is also mak
ing prepartions to organize and train
the necessary further reinforcements
for the first and second expeditionary
forces.
As to the disposition of the forces
already dispatched the Prime Minister
said:
"According to the report of the chief
embarkation officer the total force era
barked at Quebec amounted to nearly
33,000 men besides 7000 horses and a
proper complement of guns and ve
hicles, with full equipment for men and
horses. The transportation of this
force required no fewer than 31 large
steamships. It is probable that on ar
rival in England the force will be or
ganized as follows:
"Field troops, including a first rein
forcement of 10 per cent, 26,400; line
of communication troops, 2100; total
force at the front 28,600.
"That will leave about 4500 men for
training in Great Britain who will con
stitute a regiment of nearly 20 per cent
for the men at the front.

a more or less official statement is ex

the extirpation of the German naval
base there, will . either be vacated by
th Japanese or turned over to the
British, their future to be decided in the
conference which must terminate the

Japanese Embassy Explains.
Late today, after receiving an official
cablegram from Tokio, confirming the
destruction of the German base at
Jaluit, the Japanese embassy issued the
following statement:
"In this connection it may be recalled
that the German men-of-war have been
making appearances in the Pacific and
the South Seas and have been disturb
ing Ihe shipping ever since the out
break of the present war, and that this
fact at last compelled the allied fleets
of Japan and Great Britain to decide
on expeditionary measures to keep the
routes clear, as was recently reported
in the press.
"In the light of this fact, it may be
safely concluded that the action taken
by a portion of the Japanese squadron
above referred to is nothing but a step
for the fulfillment of the expeditionary
mission."

Northern Pacific Sleeting Resolves en
Direct Campaign in Hope of m
Speedy Conclusion.
NEW YORK. Oct. . The necessity
for higher passenger and freight rates
was urged at the annual meeting of
the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany in this city today. The principal
argument was maae by G. A. Buder,
of St. Louis, owner of a substantial
amount of Northern Pacific stock, and
spokesman for other Missouri share
holders. Mr. Buder advocated that the ques
tion be taken up not with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, but with
the individual Btate commissions,
which, he believed, would insure more
speedy action-- These . commissions
would be askea ro restore the 3-cent
passenger ratedfcnd an increase of 10
per cent in freight rates.
Resolutions empowering the direc
tors to take action along the lines
suggested by Mr. Buder were unan
imously adopted. The proposed cam
paign will include the states traversed
by the Chicago, Burlington & Qunlcy
road, in which the Northern Pacific
has a half interest.
