100000 CANADIANS AT
THE FRONT BY next fall

Toronto, Nov. 1S.-The second Cana
dian contingent will comprise 1920
officers and men, 4,765 horses, So
guns and 16 machine guns, and will be
ready to sail from Canada in January.
A third Canadian contingent of ap-
proximately 20, 200 men will be ready
to leave fer England early in March.
Including the first contingent of 49,
600 men, the Dominion BY spring will
have sent more than 10000 men TO the
firing line.
The military authorities also have
decided to keep 10000 men under
arms in Canada to serve as base of
supply for the contingents at the front.
As the British War Office has informed
the Dominion that reinforcements
should be provided for at the rate of
% per cent. per month, instead of on
the smaller basis of 20 per cent. per
annum, as at first was anticipated, it
will mean drain on the numbers re-
cruited for reinforcing purposes of from
5000 to 5000 a month, with increases
in proportion as the strength of the
Canadian forces in the field is enlarged
With contingent being sent to Eng
land every two months, together with
reinforcements, Canada expects to have
placed between 100000 and 100000
men at the disposal of Great Britain by
next autumn.
