late for Belgium, too late for Serbia,
too late it Will be, too, for You and

Example OF England
For II half century England has
been preaching preparedness. Rob-
erts and Kitchener preached, pleaded
for organization. They saw the dan
ger and proclaimed it; but the peo-
pie of England did not believe, could
not understand; and today, after loa-
ing their best scvcnty-five thousand
men of so-called the regular army,
after sacrificing their best troops from
the colonies in the Dardanelles---a
hundred and twenty-five thousand
men Of the best and bravest--they are
rctreatlng before the Turk, despiscd
and the laughing stock OF Europe
My friends, what lesson. They are
calling today for volunteers, and the
volunteers are not forthcoming. Lack
of patriotism No; they are patriotic
like you are; but the civilian VIII not
enlist when he knows that his Officers
are going to lead him to defeat and
slaughter You may doubt that dis !
cipline is the secret of success in this .
world. But ii Is, in the bank and on |
the farm, in the college in your |
games, and on the battlefield; and I
this brings me to my subject.
"As | stated before the reason for I
artillery is its ability to assist other I
arms on the battlefield. The only as
which can be given by the ar
tillery is through delivering an oper-
fire. The only way this fire /
will be delivered is through fire dis
cipline," which means that condition
resulting from training and practice
which insures an orderly and effic-
lent working OF the personnel in the
delivery of fire"
Plea for National Guard.
After addressing the cadets for
more than an hour, Captain DeBre-
mond in closing brought wildly be- {,
fore his audience the necessity of the
young men of the country entering the
national guard. He especially request
ed the support of the young men of
this locality in maintaining Battery
A, an organization which has for
number of years been ranked high, in
fact among the very best volunteer
OF the United States
Captain DeBremond feels that a great
pr interest should be taken in artil-
Iery at this time on account of the
of a number of new
batteries. most notable among which
are four which have been organized
md which are diligently working at
Yale university. Captain DeBremonds
losing remarks were as follows:
