two cents is the cost Of fitting out
one man, and it must be remember
ed that clothing is purchased at the
lowest prices by the quartermaster
corps. There are now in uniform g.
100000 men which will bring the to
tai cost to the above quoted figures
The following is the list of artic-
les Issued and the approximate cost
of each; three suits of underwear at
d cost of 81 per garment; two pairs
of o. d. trousers, $275 each; one O.
D. coat, $4.52; five pairs of socks,
So cents pair; two pairs of shoes,
$3.50 a pair; one overcoat, $3.50;
one slicker, $3S5; one hat, SIPS;
On overcoat which is worn by an
enlisted man would probably retail
at price three times as great as
that which is paid by the quarter
master corps, and the other articles
of clothing would run corresponding
ly high in civilian life.
The above figures apply to enlist
ed men only and not to the 10000
officers OF the American army. 1t is
estimated that each officer has about
$500 invested in clothing, which
brings the total figures of officers
clothing up to s21 100000 mark. The

retail price of an officers uniform
is very high, ranging from $40 to
$50. Almost every officer has two or
more uniforms, which means that
after receiving his commission, 500
to $50 has to be expended for uni
forms. A pair of Logging cost SIS to
$50 and the retail price for boots
and shoes is also high.
With the exception of uniforms,
boots and shoes, there are several
other essential articles which go to
make up the equipment of an officer,
all of which have to come out of his
salary, so it can be seen that an Of
tcer. of a lower rank is compelled
to take two months of his salary to
purchase complete outfit For
some time past officers have been
afforded the privilege of buying their
uniforms from the quartermaster's
CORPS which has saved them a con
siderable amount of money. An en-
listed man is clothed by the govern
nent at a smaller cost than would
be necessary to equip him in civilian
life, but that is not true OF an officer

THE SCHOOL OF GENEROUS
HEROES.

The following striking words of
Archbishop Ullathorne may well be
read by us with an eye single to our
own United States, although they were
written by an English prelate and in
tended for English readers:
Il believe our own future will be
blessed with increase in proportion as
we, with earnest faith, send help to
them who cry to us-as we have cried
to others and received their help. l
believe it, because it is the disposition
of our Heavenly Father greatly to help
those who do such works of faith and
charity. / believe it, because there is
no charity greater or more blessed
than that which co-operates with God
in sending His servants forth to spread
His light and minister His grace to
the nations afar off, who sit in dark
ness and alienation of soul from their
Supreme God. l believe it, because the
mission to the heather is the school of
generous heroes, whose works of faith
and sanctity will bless the country
that supports them. believe it on the
word of our Blessed Lord: Give and
it shall be given unto you again. full

over here that / was too old for the

transport work, and this is somewhat
in my line, although here most of the
transporting is done at night, and it is
noisier than the woods. Besides, one
never can tell at what time shell

He ceased speaking, and from the
distance came the sound of the guns.
He seemed to be thinking, so | waited.
Il often have chance to do other
work." he said. Sometimes in the
morning after | come back, sometimes
in the evening before | leave"
He did not say what the other work
was, but l surmised. After this war
is over there will be many who will
remember gratefully Jim Murray and
his mules.
Some time after that | met the old
portager coming from the stable where
he had been to feed the mules. 1t was
late in the afternoon and / knew that
soon he would be starting out with his
team. We walked along together, and
as we passed the huts where some of
his battalion were billeted, | noticed
little groups of Canadian lads stand
ing along the road. Some were talk
ing and laughing, others were quiet
or low-toned, while others were tight
ening straps of an equipment which
did not seem to need tightening. These
were lads of a new draft who had
lately come to the battalion and they
were going in that night for the first
time. And as we walked along, from
away in the distance came the sound
of guns-there had been heavy bonn
bardment of late. And up in the trees
the birds sang sweetly as though all
the world were at peace.
l did not sleep much that night, for
the air was filled with the noise of the
bombardment. 1t was a beautiful night
the stars were clear; the heavens
seemed intensely peaceful. And as
walked up and down the little path,
behind the little village church,
thought of the old portager and his
Canadian lads, and | thought especi-
ally of the boys who were in the
trenches for the first time.
Early the following morning, when
the transport work was over and the
old portager and his mules should have
gone to rest, saw a strange process
sion coming towards me.
