One good thing that the japanese
war scare has bought about is the
reorganization or the artillery Of this
country. Formerly coast artillery and
field artillery were classified together
and officers we're transferred indis'
criminately from one branch to an
other just aSfrom one regiment TO
another 10 lnfan try. Recent investi-
cation, caused by the possibility Of
war, have shown that a number Of
our coast defences are entirely in
adquate and that field ARTILLERY is no
more like coast artillery than like
cavalry. So from now on there will
be two distinct branches of artillery
in the army.

Purple and gold may deck the king,
Jewels most rare adorn him;
His armies trophies to him may bring,
The rights Of others scorning;
But cloth of gold and jewels rare,
And the crown that the slave ap-

These for the worlds veal we could
spare,
But not the Overalls.
Long live the king!" Who is the

Whose cannons make the welkin ring
While nations stand astounded?
Or he who works on the lofty wall
Or ever where duty calls?
