 New Recruits Make Rapid Progress.
 Would one know that these men and their fellow camp workers started in only few days previous to learn about guns and drills and things like that ? The answer is that you wouldn't possi- bly, know 1t unless you had been told or unless you had witnessed the tax ing, never ceasing, constant drill. drill, drill under the eye of company com manders and the practice, practice, practice that each man put himself through of his own accord at every in terval when he was not in company or squad formation or at mess.

unusual progress. for this unfailing attention, for this almost pathetic ea- gerness to learn and willingness to un- dergo anything in order to learn. The answer strikes at the very root or the reason for the existence of the camp itself. It is that every man there. without one solitary exception, had written in his mind and in his heart his unfailing belief in the gospel of military preparedness.
 And so, at the very start, any one wishing to get an estimate of the pur- pose and scope of this camp must dis miss from his mind all thought that those enrolled in it went there with the idea of having a good time, more or less of picnic and a little soldering. If any of the men did have such an idea it has been knocked out of their minds-on the afternoon, in fact. of their first day under arms.
 Speak to any one of the men you will and you will find that each tells you the same purpose actuated him in en- rolling. Although differently express ed. the prime thought of every man would sum into this-that, by their

The seventh earl was sent to the scaffold in conse- quence of his loyalty to Charles I. The fourteenth earl was suggested as the king of Greece ninety years ago, but declined the honor. The present earl was lieutenant colonel in the Gren- adler guards, served as chief censor in the Boer war and was later private secretary to Lord Roberts in South Africa. He has also held govern tai offices and had a seat in parlia- ment before he succeeded to the earl dom, serving from 1892 to 1906.
