Our gaten of military adminis tration has been growing more and more civilian in character since the days of Wol lington.

Then, the supply of guns, arme, ammunition, and of all sorts of military 'materials was in the bands of no oficer se. lected ou
on account of great experience in war. He was a member of the government, and often a cabinet minister. He was, in fact, the adviser of the government on ali military matters. That office was abolished, and at present all this duty of supply, which requirea great technical training and miti:- tary experience, is relegated to a civilian member of Parliament.
