Der originally provided for, all of whom

battalions, and so forth. corresponding
to the units of the original force.
Other units are also being raised.
Two Different Armies.
To understand" he said. the sig
nifcance of the voluntary system in
time Of war you have to realize the
difference between the new armies and
the regular army which has so bril-
iiantly, upheld it's splendid traditions,
and which Is and will remain the back
bone of the British expeditionary force.
In peace time the regular army com
petes with other forms of employment
on what may be called the ordinary
plane Of industry. Its men are drawn
work, and which. If It does not go to
the army, will go into one or other of
the trades. The moment war was de-
clared an entirely different section OF
the population was tapped.
You must have read in newspapers
and seen jokes in Eunch about recruits
whose wives get separation allowances,
but who actually have incomes of sew
eral thousands q year and keep motor
absolutely true. The new armies are
a cross-section of the population. They
contain the best men from every STRAIT
um, from the laborer to those who used
to be called the idle rich.
Il had q man in here to see me the
other day; he was home on short leave
from the trenches. He has to my
knowledge private means of 10000, a
year. yet his wife draws her separa-
ton allowance each week. like the wife
other nr1v2fe these
have gone In voluntarily. and, because
of that. because from each layer of the
population we have got educated men.
and men who have enlisted because
they are enthusiastic for the vindica-
tin Of our cause, these armies have
been trained much more rapidly than
would otherwise have been possible.
Benefit of Training.
And. you know. we give them the
benefit in their training of the ex-
perience gained at the front There is
an official issue to officers of the new
armies OF notes from the front-pam-
phlets written describing the charac-
teristics OF the warfare which the
troops will have to take part in, warn
ing them against mistakes. and giving
them a careful account of the kind OF
things wich the enemy is likely to do
These notes are supplemented by lee
lures which are given to the battalions
OF the new armies by officers at home
on leave or. wounded. They are con-
stantly sending over for a few days at
a time officers who are training in this
country in order that they may take
a spell in the trenches and go back and
find fresh meaning for their work.

the front where he had been for fort

Some Good Record.
My mileage yesterday was 1872.
Still, I'm not Dragging about
miles-remember this Is not a con-
test; It's simply to show every
man in every kind of business I'm
just as much a utility car as / am
a pleasure car, and I'm the kind
OF car for the sensible owner-the
owner who needs me without hav-
ing to brag about cost of main
tenance. l did those li2.2 miles
yesterday on seven gallons of gas,
or go.2 miles per gallon.
Still Mechanically Right.
Ny electric starter is working
perfectly, no mechanical trouble at
all; in fact, I haven't changed a
spark plug or adjusted the car
bureter or valves in over 5000
miles. I'm st!ll running on my
original supply of oil-no indication
of needing any more as yet; in
fact, that one mean little puncture
on Wednesday is the only thing
that rObs me of a perfect mechani-
cal record
My total of five DAYS run so far
is 696.3 miles on 332! gallons of
gas in five different kinds of daily
business use
