The training of troops from tho
Northeast and Eastern Departments in
this department is, as l understand It,
in order to give an opportunity for
intensive training during the winter.
the sort OF training which would not
be possible in States further North. -.
The conditions for winter training
in this part of the country are ideal;
summer training also is practicable
throughout the year The concentra.
ton OF troops in the Southeastern De-
partment will permit practical intep-
sive training on every day in the year.
III we were training troops in
routine way with an outdoor and in.

an important fact: where training is
to be continuous. IL is vitality inn
portant to have camp sites so situated
that men can work throughout the

character, and will include advance
work necessary to meet the conditions
OF modern war"
Speaking OF camp locations In his

declared the world is in grave danger
OF reverting to the pagan practice of
the black arts. He said: -S
We are Obliged to admit toeday
beyond all possibility Of doubt the
fact that messages are being received
| from tho unseen world. and that they
arc due to external intelligence
that neither telepathy nor thought
transference nor hypnotism can ex-
plain. Experiment has shown them
to be inadequate to explain these phe-
nomena.
Therefore. strictly speaking, the
question before science to-day is.
What is the nature OF the intelligence
communicated?
THE attitude of some scientific
men is that the intelligence is that
OF the souls OF the dead. Sir~Oliver
Lodge claims he is constantly receiv-
ing messages from his deceased son.

But l deny on well-founded facts
that spirit identity has been estab-

these spirits obtain the better part. Of
the information which they give out
as their own from the minds OF TIE
living while in condition OF pas
sivity. The physical, mental and moral
effects attending these experiments
| moreover. go to show that the phe-
nomena cannot be due to 4 heneficent
! cause, but that a grave evil turks be-
| hind them.
| 1T is my opinion, more fully ex-
pressed In my books and lectures, that
q great moral evil turks hehind--tte
