PAGE FOUH SPEND MORE ON CANADA DEFENCE THO NEW II.KillT.s OF MILITARY I'l.lNEft ASI lCUF..SKI CHANT NIK X.tVV, ('AIIKTS ANII NON-PKK.MAN'K.NT MII.ITIA OTTAWA, March 17. (Canadian Press )For the first time since the war the parliament of Canada is asked to In crease Its expenditures for National Defence. The estimates for the fiscal year 1927-23 total $15,900,000 which. Is an Increase of more than 13.000.000 over last year. The amount to be spent on Canada's permanent Force remains unchanged but the mllltla services, the Cadet services. the Naval Service and the Royal Cana dian Air Force will all receive more money this year If the estimates pass parliament. The Air Force, which has only come Into existence since the war, has for several years been consolidating its position by active work with civil government departments. It has been utilized for extensive forest fire protec tlon work, for surveying and photog raphy and for the detection of smug tiling- along the coasts. The Royal Canadian Force has also complete control over the testing and licensing of civilian pilots and other matters relating to civilian flying. With -the natural Increase In flying activities the Air Force work has grown until this year It will require $3,800,000 to carry out Its program Instead of $1,800,000 voted last year. DOMINION' NUtVKY The 1028 program of the Air Force calls for a nation wide survey of possible municipal airdromes and the construction of two flights of strictly military planes. In the past the Force has had to' select planes with a view to civilian work but the present plans are for one flight of fast single seater 'scout planes. The Royal Canadian Navy since the war has been maintained only as a skeleton force. There have been two de stroyers and some mine sweepers .kept In active service and the remainder of the million and a half dollars devoted to this branch has been spent on the training of naval reservists In various Canadian cities. This year the navy gets $1,723,000 which is an Increase of $225,000. For the training of cadets In the schools of Canada an extra $100,000 Is set aside In the 1027-28 estimates, making the - total amount for this purpose $500,000. The cadet services are Invariably the subject of sharp debate In the House of Commons where the Progressives, farmer ,group, never faJl to express their opposition to military preparations as a whole and to the training of boys In particular. Miss Agnes MacPhall. the only woman member of the. Commons, t-i usually one of the most outspoken in the Progressive attack oh the defence department estimates. Usually 110,000 to 115.000 cadets receive a few days' training In Canada each year. MILITIA The non-permanent mllltla also receives an Increase In the estimates for the coming fiscal year. Since the war. about a million and a half dollars have bten spent annually for mllltla training but this year over $2,000,000 Is to be voted for these part-time military units. The paper strength of the mllltla la about 125 000 though, the number trained annually Is far below that number. Many of the historic regiments are maintained partly through the private contribution of their officers. Canada's permanent Force of hardly 4.000 of all ranks will remain unchanged, at a cost of $4,800,000 during 1927-28. Tills force includes 340 officers, who are highly trained and capable of undertaking commands In several branches of military work. The permanent Force In Canada Is regarded by the Defence headquarters' as a highly specialized body maintained chiefly for training purposes. FAITHFUL HORSE BEING REWARDED "OI.ll I1KIT" OF WIN M WO TO I.I VI! IX (OMIOKT IOK HKST Of HIS HAYS WINNIPEO. Mar. 17.-For meritorious service during fourteen years as a delivery horse of a local business estab lishment, "Old Brit" has been retired to a life of ease and comfort for ihe remainder of his days. They love "Old Brit" at the stable. Every morning the manager of' the store stops at his box-stall with sugar, while during the day busy stablemen find time to pull his gentle white ears and slip the old horse a little tobacco, which he loves. Perhaps they regard the home with so much affection because they can re mem ber the days when "Brit" was a prsn elng, proud-necked dappled grey, the finest show horse In western Canada of his type. "Brit," during his younger days was given a cnoice route to hotels and rail way stations. He also took a large num ber of prize winning .ribbons In show throughout'?' the prairies and In the United States. , For fourteen years he pranced proudly through the city streets, but when his hair turned white, and his legs began to weaken, he was replaced. , But, "Brit" was proud. He hated to be loft behind when the other horses set briskly out on delivery. He, too, wanted to earn bis keep. I "If; ever a horse worried about th trsgtdy of old diys, it was 'Brit,' tlis BRINGING UP FATHER I maccie- i expect a mam hej?e- VWO MAS BtEN RECOMMEriDEO BY SOME MEN AT WASHINGTON TO BE MY SECRETARY-HE. &PEAKS ALt-LAMCOACEb-HIS NAME IS phqfeo poor-u J 7 work, and he never frets now," OLD DOBBIN IS Alarm Clocks X75 to $5.50 GOING STRONG HAS NOT IJKEN HKI'LU KI UV MOItll.K HY ANY .MKANS YET Manitoba show that old dobbin Is hold ing his own against this menacing com petition. There are more than 260.000 horses in th eprovlnce today, representing an Increase of several thousand since last year. Contrary to general belief there is no sign of the horse disappearing from the streets of Winnipeg. It Is estimated that there are more than 700 light de livery and 800 dray horses earning their oats" In the Manitoba capital. Because horses do not require a dose of antl-freeze before they can be left to the exposure of the elements In winter, nor need to be towed out of mud holes in the spring, they still retain a large measure of popularity among con cerns whose businesses demand deliveries Into the suburbs of the city.

He simply makes the suggestion, freely, frankly and without strings attached, to all press agents, propagandists, poster designers and cartoonists who are fed up with their present Jobs and want to see the world. "Miles ahead of the advancing Cantonese forces for months past their publicity agents have been plastering the towns and villages with printed bills, and posters depleting the advantages that will accrue to the country under Cantonese rule." said Captain Quinn. Consequently, when a forward move was made, the Cantonese troops were usually met with open arms. Publicity broadsides had done the trick usually left to shells and gunpowder.
