attention to the fact that 20, civil
ians were afforded training this sum-
mer, compared with 1900, last year.

to pass without word of felicitation
and congratulation. You have afford
ed us this morning, those who were in
review and those who carried on the
review, a most impressive and reas-
surfing spectacle. You are citizens of a
republic wholly devoted to peace.

armed warfare. There is not a design
on the part of your country to carry
on an armed campaign in any direc-
ton. -, ,..'01 :,
