Az the annual public debate of the Uni

evening ia the botanical Theatre OF the college in
Cover street, Sir Garnet WOseley, who presided
over discussion on CONSUMPTION, I'm summing mp the

CONSUMPTION which supplied tho French army down 10

serving three years with the cOlOrs returned to Cy
life There were, however, disadvantages connected
with the system which no one could deny. As far
voluntary enlistment WAS concerned, he did not deny
that It would be- madness 10 attempt the Introduction
Of anything like CONSUMPTION In this country, and he
said that In his experience Of warfare ho had always
found the services OF volunteer 10 be worth those OF
two men who were engaged in what might he called

the whole world has been found bad for employers

further that In THIS country CONSUMPTION was unneC

respect to the men who formed the rank and file OF

the existence Of the volunteer force, TO which lie paid
high tribute. Universal service was Important In
continental nations requiring large standing armies
