Much has appeared in our newspapers recently to the effect that the belligerent Allies are getting thoroughly tired of the war. Correspondents who are supposedly expert diagnosticians of national and international ailments attribute this symptom to the state of affairs in Russia.

F. Cosby, of the Military Training Camps Association. Men who were eligible, but were not selected for any of the first camps will have an opportunity to make application for the new series of corps. It will not be necessary for those who contemplate attendance at the second camps to send in their applications now, as due announcement will be given regarding when the new reserve corps...
