"CADET CORPS TRAINING . WILL EVENTUALLY ALLY MAKE FANTRY UNNECESSARY IN- In Canadian Militia Scheme--The | View Expressed by a Cobourg Mi- litary Man at Barriefield Camp, Onlooker in Cobourg World. On that historic spot, Barriefield, there assembled for a week's train- ing---July 6-11---nearly 2000 cadets, 'their ages ranging from 12 to 18. They were a bright and as fine look- ing a 'crowd as one wofild wish to see, Tnostly ull being public and high school pupils in uniform; and If such a contingent is a fair indication of the type of man that will control the destines of our beloved Canada a féw yeurs hence, then our 'place among the greatest nations is more assured than ever before: For the most part, the boys were in charge of competent officers and =faithfu guardians who sacrificed a week of their own pleasure for the welfare o this new movement. The parents whobe sons were under canvas should not forget this fact. A number of teachers, ministers ol the gospel and public school inspec tors were also present to learn at first hand something of cadet train ing, and one and all, after a care ful study of its every department for five days, expressed their approval of this plan to train boys in al manly habits. It may be said here that over fif ty teachers were in attendance for the week, taking their preliminary 'training in a six weeks' course for cadet instructors. They left on Sat urday for Ottawa where they will fitish the work outlined for them. The camp was favored, in no smal measure, with patriotic musie and Other classics. 'The Man from Glen garry' was there with his bagpipes -and the juvenile brass band fron Pembroke with its negro leader was always a centre of attraction. Thi band was organized by Lieut. (Judge) Fisher, who is deeply inter | Tested mn boys. Their uniforms were of light blue serge and looked very pretty and becoming trimmed with yellow braid, We had besides a splen did bugle band that stirred the blooc about as much as did the gkirl o the pipes. Each day's programme was syste matically made up of work and play and the orders issued were not irk some. The work embraced physica culture, company, battalion and bri gade drill as well as a target shoot ing and*wignalling and talks on sa nitation and health. All manly trait , were inculcated and the discipline, i! strict, was always kind. Competi tions were held in company drill anc rifle shooting for which valuable cups were presented. The march-past be fore the cadet commissioner and the commandant was an inspiring spectacle and worthy of much older poldiers bearing arms, The play embraced all kinds of le gitimate sports, the prevailing one being baseball and the evenings were given up to entertainments, bonfires and moving pictures. On Friday af- ternoon about six hundred were tak en down the river to see the pic turesque "1000 Islands' mhile others were entertained at Ontario Park The "Safety-First" principle was ev er kept in mind and no boy was al lowed to leave the camp ground wi thout first receiving a written pas: gigned by his battalion commander and countersigned by the camp com mandant. The sanitary arrangements of the camp were excellent and, in conse quence, the health of the cadets was good. Every care was given the boys throughout the week. There were few slight accidents such as would occur at home and it speaks volumes 10c. TRADEY via ni 'N.Gr PATE JAN, + 1800 ny KILLER. 10c.

And the minister f militia whose pet scheme the novement is, has the proper idea when he seeks to fix certain right principlés in the boys' mind when it is the most impressionable, The or- ganization is not as yet perfected. This is not to be expected as it has been in existence only three years. But changes will take place from time to time with perfection as its ultimate goal for the man at its head, who has had the moral fore of character to give the canteen of the old organization such a knock- out blow, may be depended on to so deal with this newer organization as to get out of it for our young Ca- nadian- manhood, the maximum of mental, moral and physical good. It does not require a great deal of prescience to=¢ State just exactly what will be the outcome of this new movement. Very shortly, if this movement 'grows, as grow it must, for its basic principles are sound, the infantry as we have it to-day will be discontinued as being unnec- cessary for the boys will have had a splendid training before they at tain their majority. At the best, the infantry is a very expensive depart ment of the militia and therefrom are not at all commensu rate with the outlay. In faet, it would be an act of wise economy .0 put it out of ex 'nce at once Moreover, with the cadet movement, compwdsory training which now ex ists in Australia and which to us is quite repellent, would quite un necessary, The encampmént is entir- ely voluntary and is therefore, so much the more popular.

This known as the Kapellbruecke, or "Chapel bridge," ¢rosses the river Reuss at its junction with Lake Lu- cerne. It was constructed so long ago as 1333, and for nearly 600 years has formed the chief avenue of traffic across the broad but sluggish stream. In other days the bridge extended its zigzig shape to nearly twice its present length, and reach- ed as far as the hofkirsher, or ca- thedral, whence its name In the centre of thiz wooden bridge stands ti famous octagonal "'wasserthuii," or water tower, where in oldeli times the mu- nicipal treasure'was stored.
