It was at first estimated that Wellington'district would be called Upon to sapply 400 mounted fnen and ISoO”lnfantry for the, 10th Reinforcements,/in addition to finding men for Various special branches. Now, however, it appears that the slackening in recruiting which wa* for, a time noticed has tended, to reduce the number fin ally allotted to the, district as its quota. The position •now 'is that instead, of finding 1600 men 'for the two branches, tamed, Wellington district is called upon to supply , 137* for all 'branches. The teal allotments of the numbers to be furnished by' Wellington for the 10th Reinforcements have now been made, and the following table show* the men in. the several brancht« which each group area has been asked to furnish:—

CANADIANS DETECT CLEVER SPY TRICK.

How nn apparently innocent, ahaggycoated dog proved to be a German spy is told by a wounded Canadian soldier who has just returned from the front in northern France. Near the firing lisa them stood a coffee-house inhabited by five person}, including a little boy. On their way to the trenches the soldiers often stopped for refreshments. Singularly, the Canadians observed that their \every< move was known to the Germans.' In one instance a regiment of Canadian troops moved unexpectedly to relieve,a. regiment of Scottish Camerons. Even the Scottish officers were* unaware .of the coining of the 1 Canadians. No sooner,' however, had the Canadians taken their places when the Gormans shouted across to them, "Helloa, Canadians I Come out and fight.” The, coffee-house yras. immediately susuoctedV.' ! i widV fbdtfd ’ ifofjpg. Later, however? a'Canadian-Roldier, loitering in the neigh boor hood, heard a„ conversation in German! He quickly informed some comrades, and a seppnd raid was made. Finally, one of the soldiers resorted to bluff. * Tie little boy then gave up the secret. The dog had been conveying messages to the German An investigation proved that the animal wore a false coat of shaggy hair. Under this the messages went placed by the spies in the coffee-house, and the dog trotted calmly off to the German trenches.
