It has been demonstrated by the
British Government in the nueen
months since August 1. 1914. that
II Is possible 10 raise a volunteer
army OF several million men where
the organization Is based upon a
standing army Of 25O.O and a ma
tional guard showing a paper
strength OF 100000 and an enor-
nous supply Of trained
officers. the product Of previous
regular service and wars.
II has been proved in the same
time that II takes al least a year
to secure such an army and over
SIX months TO make a soldier out
OF a citizen volunteer. The dem
onstratlon Is also complete as 10

more important the unfairness TO

DO not fire. We are yours
However similar strategisms had
been employed before and the yigi-

by this maneuver of the Geramns and
we directed against them a destruc

and We've met by heavy shrapnel
fire. Two of the raiders were brought
down, one outside the town and the
other twenty miles away
In spite Of the long ordeal, the
populace displayed no paniic The
bombs included some of the incen-

was done. Six persons We're killed at

We're killed at St Pol and Adinkerke,
