IL coming nearer and nearer to us

utter grief that you will bitterly re-

"It is a perfect marvel to me how
anybody can see what Is going on
around us In Europe, and be content
with the condition of our army. No
country in the world would attempt
to defend itself with the paucity of
men, and with the unframed men We
have got.
"Yon will never have a real army

but you are not. Be frank, and tell
the nation what is before them.

Stronq MonosyIIabIes,

Instructors in the art of literary
composition usually condemn a string
Of monosyllables, but in the well
known hymn LEAD, Kindly Light"
written by a master Of the English
language, you may count thirty con-
secutive words of one syllable only.
They offend neither the eye nor the
ear.
Milton often uses a series of mono
syllables. In the second book of "Par-
adise LOST we have:
The fiend
Ger bog or steep, through strait, rough,
dense OF rare,
With head, hands, wings or feet pursues
his way
And swi1ns or sinks or wades or creeps
or flies.
Such lines are not uncommon in the
book:
Rocks caves. lakes, fens, boys, dens and
shades of death.
And again:
OF neither sea nor shore nor air nor fire.
