ed to show clearly that there will be
4 big deficiency for the II National

there will be available at the l6 can
tonments quarters for an additional
regiment at each post and at some for
a fun brigade of two regiments.
The strength of the new regimental
order is $500 men. With a regiment
lacking at each cantonment this alone
would mean a shortage of about $4,000
men.
The shortage is due partly to the ne
Cossity Of taking ont Of the National
