Plan- projected by the general .-iaff for ore.ling a general rcplacov ont system to handle nearly a 1 uarter of a million men this year ;."e founded on acceptance of the fact teat localization cannot be maintained. Eventually it is believed that end-ted men of the regulars, national ; -'iny and national guard will bo inter 1 ;aixod throughout all divisions at the I 'e ont.

The facts promise to bear out that view, it is said, and with the reT' acememt of casualties, the welding ( the expeditionary forces into one homogeneous unit- is already begun. 1 In an- opinion rendered last Sep tear. } btT, Acting*1 Judge' Advocate General Ansell sustained absolutely the lega' right of the department to transfer : ?

Men who had been under train dg six months would be available f u* I assignment to replacement detach; ents bound abroad. Their places v ould be taken by new drafted men by voluteers gathered through the i ? cruiting service. That would ex < nd the replacement system back to i he civilian popuation in orderly, workable fashion, it is argued. ?-? .1 Catarrhal Deafness Cannot He Cured ' hy local applications, as they cannot j < ach the diseased portion of the ear..
