And yet we are going on blindly in the same direction. “We are without a mobile army which could be used in case of a sudden war. We could not train the citizen soldiery, which would have to be recruited, short of a year. No one doubts the ability to make soldiers out of the citi- zens of the country, but it can~ not be done in a month. m- as? ml‘diers: they have to be trained to discipline and a soldier’s lifo: they have to learn to shoot, and “We were beaten in every bat- tle in 1812, with two exceptions, one of them {ought alter the war closed, and our capital and public buildings were burned.

Our’ fighting in those wars was pitiablel and the conduct of the raw and; untrained troops, with one or, two exceptions, was disgraceful. I The absurd American idea that we “can lick all creation” finds no favor with Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, in command of the army post at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. He brands the idea as absolutely false and blames our school histories for its spread. Al amen am sum The following article, clipped Irom a leading American paper. is of more than passing interest to Canadians, who have becomel sick 0! the idle American boasting. ,so common in days gone by. It shows that there is at least one man in the United States, who while believing that Americans are as good a people as there are on the face of the earth, does not think they are the superhuman class many boasting Yankees try to make the world believe they are. The opinions below, coming as they do, from an American} army officer, high up in the ser-;' vice of his country, are worthy of perusal: 1V DURHAM. MARCH 20th, 1913. '0 SG I.
