BE PROUD OF THEN
CANADA’S FRONTIERSMEN
MADE THE BEST SOLDIERS
ON THE FRONT
Perhaps as never before has the
old saying “That great things from
small beginnings rise” been so ful
ly emphasized as in the case of the
Canadian Legion of Frontiersmen,
the only fighting body of men
that were really ready when Can
ada offered its services to the mo
ther country in the European war.
Twelve years ag0 away up at
the lonely little mounted police
post of Lac St. Anne, in northern
Alberta far from a railroad line,
Roger Pocock, an officer of this
fanibus body of riders of the
plains, conceived a great plan a
body of men composed of all dar
ing spirits throughout the wide
domains of the British Empire.
Everywhere in the budding colonies
of Great Britain were daring souls
cowboys, ex-mounted policemen,
men of the cape mounted rifles, old
army and navy men, and a thous
and other kindred spirits. What a
wonderful power for defense or in
vasion these men could be made
into if united! thought Pocock. A
flame with his plan he resigned
from the command to form an or
ganization of his dreams which is
today known as “The Canadian Le
gion of Frontiersmen," though it
has members all over the other co
lonies of Great Britain.
Men who had seen active service
in any land, cowboys of the genui
ne kind with experience on the
plains and ability to ride like cen
taurs, and men of the army and
navy wh0 had served at least three
years were those chiefly accepted in
the Legion. In addition to this,
however, men capable of acting as
transport riders, tellegraph opera
tors, motorists, sappers, engineers
and miners, and a few typists and
men of trades who would prove an
a>d to a fighting body on active
service, were also enrolled. But
the Legion was no corps of easy
entrance. To be admiteed, a man
bad to have goods and thousands of
applications have been turned down
in twelve years of the organizati
on’s existence.
Like almost any plan of its kind,
the founder had no easy road. Men
m high places sneered at the idea.
Called it impracticable. But Po
cock persisted and after several
years of endeavor received the san
ction of the English army office.
In fact his plan was viewed with
much high favor that famous men
formed themselves into an assist
, mg Council.
When the war broke 0ut there
; were 98,000 men enrolled in Canada
; alone. Owing to the war office at
I first not accepting any separate
; individual units the offer of this
troop in a body could not be accept
ed, but the men quickly attached
themselves to various battalions,
that these were wonderful fighters
jis now evident, for in the Princess
Patricias alone were three hundred
: frontiersmen, and who is there to
1 day that has not read with fast
beating heart of the record of this
heroic little band of men only a
few hundred of whom today remain
alive out of an original band of
some two thousand men ?
So, this idea, originated away
,up ,n the lonely bare stretches of
the Canadian north by a single
mounted policeman, is today show
mg that stuff of dreams occasian
aliy lives and blossoms into great
things.
Swans according to the law of
England, are crown property. Who
ever steals or destroys swans' eggs
forfeits 5s. for every egg, and who
soever steals a marked swan of
the crown commits felony.

WEARS A MASK WHILE
SHE IS AX WORK
If each one of the men, women
and children in New York city
took a book under each arm and
aided in the removal, it would re
quire the entire population of the
great city to carry the books thnt
are under the care of one woman.
There are more than 8,000,000 books
of the city’s free library confided
to the hands of Miss Rose Murray.
She has the most unusual task
that has ever fallen to the lot of
a woman.
She is the chief surgeon, ambul
ance corps arid first aid to the in
jured for this vast army of books.
Her task is dangerous. As the
books go tc various parts of New
York they circulate in many dis
tricts where infectious disease is
prevalent. They pick Up germs
and microbes with alarming persis
tence. Miss Murray not only
wants to reduce the microbe indust
ry to its minimum of activity, but
she wishes to protect herself from
a chance meeting with a malignant
little colony of predatory germs.
She wears a cheese cloth mask
while at work. The cheese cloth
catches the dust and germs and
she pursues her task without fear.
All books that require new binding
come to her. So do tom and mu
tilated. volumes. She examines
them, prescribes the sort of treat
ment they are to get and thereby
saves a large amount by the lives
of her charges.

RIFLES WITH WHICH THE AR
MIES ARE FIGHTING
Rifles used in the present war
are known as “repeaters.” Their
calibers vary between 6.5 and 8
millimeters. All of the gun bar
rels are “rifled” to give the bullet
a whirling motion and greater pre
cision.
The principle types of rifles now
used are the German Mauser, which
has also been adopted with varia
tions by Belgium, Turkey, Spain,
Portugal, Serbia and Japan. The
Austrian Mannlicher is used in Ru
mania, Holland, Bulgaria, Greece
and Italy.
France has the Lebel rifle with
a caliber of 8 millimeters. The
magazine, which runs along the
barrel, holds eight cartridges, as
a reserve. The initial velocity of
a bullet fired from this rifle is
720 yards per second. The ex
treme range is 4500 pards.
The Russia infantry is armed
with the repeating Mossiner, cali
ber 7.62 millimeters. The maga
zine is loaded by a single charge
of five cartridges.
British soldiers cary the Lee-En
field rifle, which is much like the
Mauser. This English rifle holds
10 cartridges in two loads, and the
initial velocity is 671 yards per se
cond.
the Austrian Mannlicher is the I
oldest of the present army rifles,
dating from 1888. It has a cal
iber of 8 millimeters, and holds
five cartridges at a load.
The types of sights and bayon
ets of the various army rifles dif
fer, but all have proved effective
weapons in the terrific struggle
that is flooding all of Europe with
rivers of blood.
