The Globe had to print a correction today -- instead of the previously reported eighteen thousand volunteers, to date at least eighty thousand men have come forward to volunteer for the Canadian overseas forces.

News from Europe isn't promising as fifty-five of the seventy miles to the Belgian frontier has been taken by the Germans already. Still some resistance at key points (Liege, Antwerp, etc.), but no reports of either French or British troops in Belgium to help check the German advance.

Another note of interest tucked away at the bottom of page two -- The New England Fat Man's Club had their annual trip to Montreal scheduled and a number of people backed out because they were worried that they'd find themselves in the middle of an armed conflict once they entered Canada! Or at least that's what some of the 125 brave souls (both members and their wives) who made the trip reported to the Canada Press. Tongue in cheek reporting perhaps?
