They have the enthusiasm, but realized that it was no use being under Scottish auspices for doing good as a whole. It was later that I was told of the Overseas League.

Those who may have feared that he had lost some of the ability he showed during the war are now convinced. The general tightening- up of administrative machinery and the introduction of the latest scientific methods in the detection of crime show that the hero of Vimy Ridge is thoroughly alive to his job.
