J. H. Smith, '18, tells of the "Mili-
tary System of Canada" in the second
article of a series of eight about Can-
ada.
Owing to certain fallacies regard-
ing the military situation in Canada, it
is the intention of the writer of this
article to give a correct description
of the military position of Canada both
before and after the declaration of
war in Europe.
Canada is a self governing dominion
although she is part of the English
Empire. As such she controls all her
fedral affairs, chief among which are
military operations. Previous to this
war there was a very small standing
army, being only sufficient in number
to afford protection from an econom-
ical stand point.
The western provinces had a body
of mounted police whose sole purpose
was to patrol the prairies mucn in the
same way as a local policeman. On
top of this, however, there had always
existed a volunteer system whereby
a man more than 18 years of age could
voluntarily offer himself to the volun-
teer army.
This volunteer army was controlled
by the Dominion government. Each
province held a training camp of about
three weeks each year much in the
same manner as that conducted at
Plattsburg, and here they were given
a course in the rudiments of war. Per-
haps the total volunteer army of'Can-
ada at any time never exceeded 75,000
men. The only stipulation in joining
the volunteer army was that in case
Canada was invaded by a foreign foe
the volunteer army could be called
out, but they were under no obliga-
tions to serve abroad.
Non-commissioned officerships were
granted according to ability and not
by appointment. The officers for the
small standing army were derived
either by appointment or drafted from
the military college at Kingston, On-
tario. This college corresponds to
West Point and here men intending'
to become officers in the army are giv-1
en a four year course.
Canada' boasts of practically no
navy. She owns one small auxilliary
cruiser, the Niobe, and a still smalleri
coast patrol boat, the Rainbow. Her1
fortified naval base is at Esquimault4
on the Pacific Coast, while Halifax
and St. Johns on the Atlantic Coast
serve the purpose of ship-building
yards for her commerce. The city
of Quebec which is on the St. Law-
rence river, is recognized as the sec-
tend strongest fortress in the world.
When war broke out in Europe,
Canada was not prepared in any way
except industrially. England asked
none of her colonies for assistance,
but Canada came forward and offered
it of her own free will.
Sir Sam Hughes was the minister of
war and he immediately started to get
together an army of recruits. At first
the call went out for only 50,000 and
the rush was so great to enlist that
in less than a week the total number
was gathered from all parts of the
Dominion.
These raw soldiers were then sent
to Valcartier and there they were put
through a stiff training to condition
them. In six weeks they were suc-
cessfully landed in England without
the loss of a single soldier. This
transportation was the largest body of
soldiers that was ever taken across
the Atlantic ocean. Since that time
the call for volunteers has increased
and today Canada has actively and
inactively recruited 400,000 soldiers.
In no manner is the service compul-
sory. The recruit joins through his
own good will. Their pay is substan-
tial and in case the recruit is married
his wife gets a separation allowance
of so much a month and besides this
if he is a man with a family there is
a patriotic fund which gives still more.
The wives of many privates are re-
ceiving in all about $60 a month. The
officers pay is of course much higher.
In order to supply this vast army
with munition Canada has had to do
some manipulation of industries.
Foundries, machine shops, bridge
works, and factories, both old and new,
have been turned into munition man-
ufacturing plants. Every town
of any size boasts of a factory of some
sort for the manufacture of shells.
These are all government supervised,
but are in most cases under private
contract.
Canada has always been a self gov-
erned and free thinking country and
in no way has her 'military training
been obligatory or compulsoiy. It is
given free.

Thriving Organization Plans to Have
Permanent Clubhouse
At the annual meeting held in
Keen's Old English chop house in
New York city a short time ago, the
University of Michigan club of New
York terminated a successful year.
About 150 men gathered to hear re-
ports of last year's business and the
plans for the future.
The present membership roll totals
454 active members, an increase of 17
over last year. The club has not yet
permanent club rooms, but the officials
are seriously considering making the
establishment of a clubhouse the big
issue for the coming year. They are
anxious to have a definite home for the
club as well as a place to entertain
guests from Michigan when they go
to New York. The club now keeps a
list of good rooming and boarding
places for the inspection of Michigan
men when they are in the metropolis.
