will obviously be able to go away
in the clothes he came with—in
the event of his being discharged
—so the chief reason
is said to be “as a
against desertion.”

The government is apparently
legitimate picking for agents
and contractors, but when about
2 per cent of the“*men who enlist
—with the full knowledge that the
country’s services may call for
their lives—decide to desert and
take a shirt or pair of govern-
ment socks with them then it is
time to dock ten dollars off every
man in the battalion.
is true, have joined because they
needed a meal-ticket, but by far
the greater majority left good
jobs and comfortable homes in
order to do the right thing by
our country and we intend doing
so to the bitter end, but we at
least expect to be paid what is
coming to us while doing it.

A private soldier is not permit-
ted to ask questions, but we
would like to know whether the
head of the militia thinks that the
oath of Canada’s manhood is of
less security than ten dollars or
whether some of the “higher ups”
need the use of about twelve
thousand dollars for six months.

If you will kindly publish
above it may help a little towards
righting what we econsider a
wrong, and also help the people
of Victoria by having $12,000
spent in the city which the coun-
try would otherwise never see.
