I do not see how that it is possible with our foreign Army. But for the foreign Army, no doubt we should have had conscription long ago. As it is, we shall probably come to some sort of cader system which will inerra every boy in the country leaming at least the rudi ments of defence.

Because of the perfection to which these devices have been brought and the comparative safety with which mines may now be handled, they are rapidly becoming a part of the equip.. ment of war vessels. Squadrons or single ships now recurs protection from attack in harbours in which refuge is taken by quickly mining the approaches; and, in our navy, this is made a regular drill during the summer manœuvres, and every effort is exerted to do the utmost celerity.
