ANOTHER UNIVERSITIES’ COMPANY BEING FORMED The Universities’ Companies are now well known throughout Canada. A fresh company is equipped and _ partially trained about every two months, jand it is unnecessary to advertise for recruits inasmuch as each conepany is made up of brothers those rr relatives or friends of who have joined previous Ccam- jpanies. ¢ The first company, under the command of Captain Gregor Bar- clay, has joined the Princess Pa- itricia’s Canadian Light Infantry jand has been for some time in the trenches. The second company, under the command of Gaptain George Mc- Donald and Captain Percy Molson, is also on the Continent. The third Company went over-. seas about 330 strong, and has gained a golden reputation at Shorneliffe. The’ fourth company is at full strength and has now embarked. In quality it is in no respect in- ferior to its predeceSsors. A fifih company has been au- thorized, a large number of ap- plications are on the waiting list, and recruits will be welcomed at Montreal. Those who wish to join must receive a rigorous medical ex- amination locally by an army medical officer. Those who are not medically and physically fit are not wanted, so there is a sub- sequent examination on reaching Montreal be attested . The recruit saould also before the nearest justice of the peace,’ and locally transportation to Montreal ean be speedily obtained by sending a night lettergram to Gaptain A, 8.
