CHANGE OF GUARD
SYSTEM AT LOGAN
Colonel John Y. Qinnin Re-Organized
Policing Methods.
'
Divided Csmp Into Three Zonei and
Revised Flan for Signalling: for
. Officer of Guard Which
Eliniinatei Confusion.
Aa an organizer and administrator Col-
cnei jonn v. uiinnin commanaing ins
trafns of the 33d division has demonstrat-
ed hla ability consistently alnca tha or-
- ' ganliatlOD of the Prairie division. Of tba
duties which he haa efficiently performed
t ' tha reorganisation of the guard at Camp
'-Logan la among tha most recent.
atatlon waa subject to more or Iesa confu-
7 aion. owing to the duplication of numbers
designating' the varloua sentry posts and
guard stations.
. A call for the corporal of the guard from
a post located in the outer confines of the
. Camp waa sometimes tbe cause of irrltat-
'.' ' ing delay arising from misunderstanding
aa to the precise looatlou of the post send-
ing: out the call.
For some time plans were under consid-
eration to simplify the guard system but
Owing to the pressure ot multitudinous
. details demanding quick solution the
rhnn.. In tha i'i i si rrl vstAm was neces
sarily delayed.
' ." mediate relief became imperative. The
V natter was put up to Colonel Clinnln who
was considered the best man for the Job
and who worked the problem out to the
aatiaraction 01 uenerai xoaa ana 10 (ne
ifcS resulting Increased efficiency of the aerv- I
Vtpi at CarotlXogaii general lr.r ; rs A
. tnrae sonea doing away witn uia lormer
system of duplication of numbers and re-
ducing to the simplest terms tha theory
0( efficient guard service.
Now a call received from any one of
the numerous posts within tho three zones
automatically Informs tne officers on duty
t guard headquarters of the exact loca-
tlon of the sentry sending In the call. It
also informs the sub-guard posts within
tha zone what particular sentry is asking
for the officer of the guard.
The working of the system Is obviously
a matter concerning tho military admin-
istration of the eaniD alone and is. there
fore not a matter for detailed description.
So efficient hns the new system proven
that the camp fire department nas adopt-
ed the system with resultant increased ef-
ficiency. The system ns adopted has been
accurately mapped and blue-printed and
officially recognised as the most efficient
sample of organising skill as applied to a
complex guard system or a nig camp that
baa occurred at this particular station.

Appeal From British
- Recruiting Mission
The British and Cangdlan recruiting
mission with its headquarters in tho Do
George Hotel building at HIS Preston
avenue publish the following strong .ap
peal to aU Britishers for Immediate n
llattnent:
"Britishers yon are needed nowl Tho
time 'has come for you to decide this mo-
mentous question for yourself; you can
not hold back any longer. Your country
' Is righting with its back to the wall
you ought to give' your last drop of blood.
lit necessary for your mother land.
. That the need Is great for manpower
Is evidenced by the fact that both Premier
Lloyd George and Earl Curson In recent
speeches stress the fact that a straka
greater than any heretofore 1s about to
. ua iuiu on me onitBii huh d rcnuil ui-
fenslve and the premier says "I bavd
just returned from hYance where tho gen-
erals lell -me that silent preparations are
' going on for perhaps the biggest blow of
the war. These things are happening
. now. They are asking me for help. : I
nave Drougm nome a list or tne things
they want done and I beg of you for
our common cause; the fate of which Is
In the balance now and will be for an
Indeterminate time to come."
i Said Earl Curzon: "Grave tlmea are
ahead and British soldiers may have to
give ground.' There is encouragement to
be found In the unity of command In
America's effort and in the resolute in-
domitable spirit of the British people
nevertheless it behooves us to be pre-
. pared to meet every exigency there is
.' only one thing we can not afford to lose
and that Is the war."
Britishers how can you hesitate any
. longer? Enlist and now In the Canadian
1 .overseas service. There la no long walt-
. lug. In not more than six weeks after
you reach Canada you will be on ybur way
'"over there." Tho secretary of the British-Canadian
recruiting mission at the
Do George Hotel building wlU gladly give
you all desired Information.

All Commissioned Officers Appoint-
de Except Thoie of Field Bank.
Troop Officers to Be
Examined.
The 1st brigade Texas cavalry hi
reached the 3000 mark In enlistments.
With only about 1(00 men yet to be
recruited it Is believed the entire out
fit will be ready soon to be mustered In
as s brigade. .'
All the commissioned officers have
been appolnfJed except those of field
rank. These probably will not be ap
pointed until the entire brigade has been
recruited up to war strength.- Then each
will take an examination to determine
his fltnesa for the rank he holds. It
likely the examination will be conducted
by a board of officers appointed by the
war department.
In regard to applicants for commis
slons General J. r'. Woiters command
ing said:
"While It Is true that all line com
missions have been filled the competent
man who' enters the ranks will if he
'soldiers' stand a splendid opportunity
for advancement.
"The mere fact that an officer now
holds a commission does not mean that
he will always hold it.
"There will be an examination board
for line officers lust the same as the
one for field officers. The troOD officer
who doesn't make good will nave to
make war-for vne who will.
' ' "Thewar brigade is not-an organisation
for drones and shirkers. Officers will
be required to really work harder than
the men they command. In fact they
will work Harder. Besides troop duties
they wni be required td take a course
of Instruction similar to tne courses of
the officers - training camps.
"Tha roan who wears spurs in this
brigade must not only win them but must
work continuously to continue to wear
them."
General Woiters left Saturday night
ror camp -Howie where h goes on mat
ters of both personal and ofllclal bual
ness.
It Is understood that severs! tentative
captains who obtained permission to
raise troops are not getting along us
well as they were expected to. Several
have already been notified that unless
they make itood in recruiting within
specified time their commissions will be
taken awny. In some of tlie sparsely
settled sections oi the state this is espe
chilly true.
While It Is generally conceded that
men from these sections are among the
best that ' could be recruited for any
army there are not enough to recruit a
troop to war strength and General Wol-

The five troops at Houston are being
rapidly filled. The Rotary club Young
Men's Business league and other com-
mercial organisations are working hard
in -conjunction wiin ine recruiting olll
cers. i
The Very Rev. J. M. Klrwln of Gal
reston is devoting considerable time to
recruiting. He nas averaged two speeches
a week in Houston and three a week
In Galveston since authority waa obtained
to raise the brigade. Every speech he
haa made has been a telling one. He
does not mince words. "If you don't
want Texas to become the Belgium of
