GENERAL HAMILTON SAYS THE GOUNTRY 1S “CUTE” Is Struck With Keenness of Men Who Constitute Canada’s Defence Forces On This Island. Ottawa, July 15.— The minister of mil- ita, Colonel Hughes, and General Sir Ian Hamilton, accompanied by Adjutant- General Williams, returned to Ottawa yesterday, Referring to the coast to coast inspec- tion journey, Sir Ian Hamilton said:— “I have seen ten times more of the country and the people travelling with the minister of defencethan if 1had trav- elled alone, as did General French. I have had an opportunity to meet all the leading men, both in civil and mailitary | life—not forgetting the ladies. What have Ito say about Canada? Well, to to use one of the expressions of your people, I think it isa ‘mighty cute coun- try—yes, mighty cute.’ “I have been struck with the splendid spirit and keeness of the men who con- stitute Canada’s defence wherever I have visited. It is especially gratifying to realize that every one of the thousands of militia I have inspected are making a Sacrifice—giving up something. They must either give up some of their salar- ies or else their employers are doing so. It shows that their heart isin the work. I have also been struck with the remark- able keeness of the officers as indicated whenever a conference has been held after review ormanoeuver. Suggestions on tactics, ete., have always been receiv- ed with keen interest by them. I have not seen any exception to this. “J must have met several hundred of the old soldiers,” he remarked, “mostly South African veterans, who had been with me in the late Boer war. I also met two who had been with meat Ma- juba and several who had been in the expedition to Khartoum for the relief of Gordon. Severalalso wha had served in India and Atghanistan. It was like meet- ing old friends. And I found them all satisfied with their new country.” STEFANSSON BUSY PURCHASING DOGS Canadian Arctic Expedition Will Leave Nome Within a Week in Search of Unknown Polar Continent, Nome, Alaska, July 11.—Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Polar explorer, and head of the Canadian Arctic Expedi- tion, plans to leave here within a week aboard the D.G.S. Karluk for Point Barrow. Since his arrival here from Victoria, the explorer has been busily engaged in selecting suitable “huskies” for the trip into the Arctic. Over one hundred dogs will be taken along by the expedition. The Karluk party must complete its dog teams before the expedition sets search of the Polar continent, for if land is discovered it will contain no human no dogs. The southern party attached to the expedition, under the command of Dr. Anderson, out in inhabitants, and, therefore, will be in contact nearly all the time with Eskimo tribes that have an abundance of dogs.
