Cir Sam Hughes Advocates More Wig
orous Policy

LINDSEY, Ont, Dee 26.-As a recruit
ing policy for Canada, Sir Sam Hughes
former minister OF militia in the Cana
dian cabinet. in an address delivered here
yesterday advocated the immediate calling
out of all single men between the ages of Is
and 10, and now exempted under the law
for active service training under the Cana
dian militia act He declared that the
national service commission was more or
less of failure and that it would be a
year before the commission could begin 70
operate with any effect Prompt action
is needed Sir Sam said, and the calling
out OF the single men could be done under
the provisions of the act. In order, how
ever. to remove all doubt regarding com
pulsory service for overseas, he said. the
act should be amended SO that the militia
could be sent abroad for the defense of
the empire. Under this plan, Sir Sam as
serted, he would undertake to have at
least from 100000 to 100000 men ready for
the front within four months.
The former minister of militia praised
the work OF the Canadians at the front
and stated that he had found the British
government and the war Office fully in
accord with his policy Of making promo
tions. as far as possible, from the ranks
on the basis OF merit and efficiency
