THE NECESSITY OF sRRYfLITY

One Of our Major-G Generals recently remarked
that "no nation can be great which docs not have

the camp about this neat bit Of solemn To-
quacity. 1t could have come only from one
who believes that the whole duty of man con-
sists either in drilling or being drilled. The
philosophical warrior who emitted. should GER
talnly have enlarged this observation. He
should have said; "No nation can be great
without wars Of aggression aud conquest
without a ropaciOus aristocracy aud down
