THE THREE KINDS OF SOLDIERS.
There are three genera. divisions Of the army
The first is the regular and permanent army, ready
for any and all duty anywhere and at any time. and

serve his country at call These are the men OF the
First Category. Then there Is the Second Category

is the territorial militia which is sub1ec, tc call in
