CANADIAN FORCE
HIGH QUALITY TROOPS EFFICIENT TRAINING (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 18. According to an Ottawa agency message, the commander of the Canadian active service force, on his return from a 10,000-mile inspection tour of the first overseas division, stated it was hardly possible to imagine a higher quality personnel. They were, said Major-General McNaughton, men who were seriously anxious to volunteer for service in the crusade to clear away the totalitarian threat to democracy. Their training would ensure the great possible efficiency before enduring trial by battle, and the reinforcement depots already established would ensure no delay in filling the ranks when the division entered the front line.
