Dctnocrntio Lender Underwood,
come of tlio members of tlio nnvnl
committees nnd others in congress,
having in mind tlio Europcnu war's

SAMSlll'IiY, England, Doc. 7.- -Canadian
troops encamped at Salis
bury plain have hud n rough experi
ence since they landed in England. It
has rained nearly every day since the
Canadian'" entered into camp here,
nnd the tint grounds are a sea of
mud.
All brunches of tho service have
been greatly handicapped by tho mud
and rain. Drill hns been very trying.
However, the Canadian organisations
hre showing the best of pirit and pa
tiently uudergoin- the training neces
sary to qunlifv them for service at
the front.
A complete reorganization in the
Canadian troops is taking place to
make them uniform with the llritish
nrmy. Instead of having each coin
pany net as n separate unit, two
companies nrc combined, one captain
acting ns the senior officer, the
other ns his assistant, and each lieu
tenant commanding one of four plat
oons, with about sixtv men each. Thi.
plan makes it possible for the senior
captain to be relieved of nil routine
duties so he can give his time to the
bronder administrative nnd military
problems. Tho Canadians have taken
very kindlv to the change, the lieu-
truants being especially fond of the
plan, ns it plnccs great responsibility
nnd independence upon them thnu the
old single company system.
Humors are circulated in camp nl-
most' daily that the Cnnndinn conting
ent will be sent to tcypt ns soon ns
it is whipped into shnpe. The Cnn
ndinns nre quite willing to pi any
where where thero is fighting. A"
much excitement U promised in
Egypt, the Canadian, nrc anxious to
go there, hoping t Tie transferred
Inter to France, so they can have a
chance nt the German".
