An incident happened during the visit which shows how far afield the Canadian army is dfawn from. A Canadian High- lander appearing before the officer in charge of this hospital, was asked: “From ['what part of Canada do you come?" “Omaha, Nebraska,” was the reply. #But Omaha, Nebraska, Is not in Canada!" to Minne | “Don’t blame me—'taint my fault,”" said Lusa by this kind of advertising, have |the Highland soldier. bought lots.

I'd give my kilts for a copy; 3 would like to see what the boys are doing at home.” This was when he was offered a Toronto Globe, which was circulated amongst the Cana dlans.
