LIEUT.-COL. VAN WAGNER.

Mr. HUGHES (Victoria)-by Mr. Taylor-asked : Lieut.-Col. Van Wagner's name is on the list of ' retired officers ' in the Militia List. Why I is not the name found in the ' Reserve of Officers ' list?
?

The MINISTER OF MILITIA AND DEFENCE (Hon. F. W. Borden).

Because he was not transferred to the reserve of officers when retired. In explanation of that further, I have this note :

On the 8th May, 1899, Lt.-Col. Wagner i was notified that the general officer com-i manding the militia refused to recommend i an extension of his tenure of command, i and he was also informed that it was the intention of the general officer commanding to recommend that he be transferred to the reserve of officers.

Lt.-Col. Wagner did not resign, and afterwards the general officer commanding recommended that he be retired and his name placed on the retired list. No reasons were given for so doing.
