British Empire net only astonishes the within reach of the men who have world, but it almost surprises the really done work to deserve their bes
towel. Britishers themselves. Not the least happy feature of this burst of united enthusiasm is the revival at Home of the spirit of Volunteering When set against the cruel system of conscription, the success of the enlightened organiza- tion of Volunteering has clearly demon- strated that the British citizen is more of a Republican than the citizen of suy other civilised state, and yet at the same time a consistent Royalist, The success of the Volunteer movement at Home during the last forty-odd years of ite existence has shown that the materials for defenencan be supplied from the people 2,79 themselves, apart from barracks and 2,83
conscriptions. This movement having been process of evolution for nearly a generation and a half, the number of men who have done their duty and. passed on to comparatively mature years is naturally very great. These 189 men, possessing as they do the know-
ledge and the discipline of their old The volunteering soldering, have been num- bored of late as something like belf a million. The Home papers speak of this reserve as elamorous to come forward in the defence of the old Fleg; and we do not doubt but that it would turn out to- defend the shores of the old country. As an object lesson to those bumptious sovereigns or statesmen who presume upon the absence in England of an im- mense standing army, this demonstra- tion of the Volunteer Reserve is one of the most useful that could possibly have been given. Although Great Britain does not pose us military power, she bas done about as much fighting on land as most powers, and the prospects are that she could do it again." This, how! ever, is somewhat of an aside. The fact ford Beds Cumfried; imleted by the explains why her standing army does not exceed six figures. Any other kind of isolation can be mét as it as has been met before. Which is, being interpreted, that the Aagic-Saxon race, instead of being weaker than it was in the days of old, is stronger, and merely covers more of the earth's sur face than did in former times.
