structures have been personally SUI
pervised by him.

The ruler no longer lives in the an

cestors but has built palace further
away from the city--a fairy land with
its beautiful gardens. And at the same
time, while placing himself in more
modern surroundings, he laid out a
great public garden for his people OPP
posite the old palace. Even zoo has
been placed in this park for the am
usement of the little folk of Bikaner,
and facilities for bathing are provided
in large artificial lake.
His Highness is particularly inter
ested in the education of his subjects
and while he has not yet inaugurated
compulsory education he has by per-
suaston worked wonders in getting
the people to send their children to
school. In the capital two colleges
have been built, one for the public
and the. other for the sons of mobiles.

when we sent the million of half-baked under
trained poorly equipped soldiers against an equally
numerous but fully equipped and trained foe.
In our recent invasion Of Mexico our line of com,
municaton and supplies was several times seriously
threatened and on one occasion actually broken BY
the enemy. Think Of what mess an unprepared
government would make of trying to distribute ra-
tions to a million men covering territory many
miles in extent
Between fighting the enemy, keeping the million
men army in food, and another several millions of
men in reserve and under course of instruction to
ill the places of those killed and wounded, this gov

trigger enthusiasts do not stop to reckon.
But that need not, should not daunt real patriots
