Volanteer Corps should both by its numbers It is my earnest desire that the Hongkong and by its efficiency be worthy to rank as an in; tegral part of the defensive force of this Colony With regard to numbers the total strength stands at only 285, and I take this opportunity this Colony to do their utmost both directly as of appealing to the loading British citizens in regards themselves and their employers, and their opinion to endeavour to increase this indirectly by their influence and the weight of number to a figere mere in proportion to the British mashood of the Colony. I hapa that steps recently taken may result in a increase of the number of Government officials who are Volunteers.

it and upon their employers. The exigencies of the time demand a real sacrifice, zed I am my artificial incentives to effort in the shape sell inclined to deprecate the multiplication of
of cups and prizes. A limited number of expert "marksmen is not sufficient; we require in addition a body of serious men imbued with the vital necessity of defending this place on
the outbreak of war and efficiently trained by a prolonged sacrifice of well earned leisure in peace times so that they may take their place in the fighting ranks when necessity may arise. We are all aware that in modern conditions but little time for preparation will be allowed when the crisis comes, and that the crisis itself will in all probability be sudden and unexpected. Those who have most stake in the Colony will be those who will lose, most in case of a raid by hostile forces and it is a mensure of self- interest to do all that is possible to strengthen the defences.
