All Rally Round for War Effort

Auvucust 1914

LOYAL RESPONSE
PROM THE NORTH
SHORE

At a time when the
young men of Canada are
rallying in every part cf
the Dominion to the
assistance of the mother
eountry in time of
national peril, it is most
Gcatifying to note that the
North Shore is not
behind other communi-
ties in discharging its
full share of duty to the
Empire.

Since orders were
received from Ottawa
that volunteers be enlist-
ed for service in foreign
countries, in Great
Britain, in Eastern
Canada, and at home, the
officers of the Sixth Field
Company Canadian
Engineeis, which is the
only military organiza-
tion on the North Shore

have been busy receiving
appiications for enlist-
ment and dealing with
the same.

Mobilization is not
proceeding by regiments
but on a volunteer basis.
Owing to the financial
depression, many mem-
bers of the company have
left the city and are now
scattered throughout the
Dominion. Beyond being
notified of the volunteer
movement, these mem-
bers have not received
any orders to join the
colours, although some
of them have responded
from a distance to the
call for volunteers.

Applications for
enlistment have been
received in such large
numbers that notwith-
standing the absence of
numbers of the regular
men of the company and
notwithstanding the fail-
ure of some applicants to
pass the necessary
examination, the

stvength of the company
is now over 150, and it is
confidently expected that
when the returns of this
evening’s applications
are complete the compa-
ny will muster at its fuil
Strength, namely 176
men.

When the time comes
for the volunteer compa2-

nies to embark for their
journey across the conti-
nent or to Europe, the
citizens of the North
Shore will be able to
assure themselves that
this community has
responded as nobly as
others have throughout
Canada. to the Empire's
