Children under 17 will travel free for the whole distance from the port of embarkation to the end of the railway journey in Canada. Tho scheme is meant to apply to the wives and chil dren of men who sailed from the Unit ed Kingdom before 6th Juno this year, and are satisfactorily settled in the Dominion.
