Work Is Complimented.

The work of the Military Service Le-
gion was highly complimented by Col.
Dapray, who said that for several
months past its members had been de-
voting, from a purely patriotic stand
point, considerable time to the drilling
of not only its members. but men who
are now in the National Army at the
various environments and reserve OFF,
GERS camps. The first men to join the
new National Guard said Col. Dapray
in his address, will be the honor men"
They will be the men who will be pre-
ferred and honored after the organiza-
tion is perfected. He expressed the
desire to see one company of one hum
dred men recruited at an early date,
and then be followed by other compa-
MES of similar strength. He called at
tention to the fact that those who
enlist would eventually be eligible to
be drafted into active service. Col. Da-
pray spoke along patriotic lines and
was loudly applauded at its conclu-
sion.
There were present last night a num-
Der who have seen service in several

ish-American, PHILIPPINE campaign and
the present European war Included
among the recruits last night was a
