The Corps was formed up in Mobile Column which paraded un- five companies excluding the der the command of Major H. B.

A stirring appeal for more re- eruits, backed by a convincing statement on the defence position of the British Empire, with parti- cular reference to the Colony, was made by His Excellency the Gen- cral Officer Commanding the Troops in China: Major-General.

On arrival of the General Of feer Commanding, he was accord- ed the General's Salute, after which he inspected the various Companies, belag escorted by Colonel I. G Bird, D.S.O., O.B.E. Commandant of the Corps and the following members of the General Staff Col. F. Nos worthy, D.SO., M.C., G.S.O. Col. R. B. Cousens, D.S.O. A.A. & Q.M.G., and Capt. F.R.L.

General's Remarks.

After the inspection and march-

past, the Corps formed up to a hollow square, and addressing the troops, His Excellency the Gen cral said:

"This is the first occasion on which I have had the honour of in- specting you and I must CON- gratulate you on your appearance and movement.

"It is always a pleasure, as well as an honour, to be connected even in a small way with a patrio. tie body of men like yourselves who are willing to give up a great deal of time to fit yourselves for what is the most important. duty of any män-defence of his country.

.

"As you all know, ever since the War the fighting forces of the Empire have been reduced again. and again, and as the profes- sionals are reduced, by so much more is reliance on the territorials and Volunteers increased." The part the Defence Corps has to this Inlay in the protection of

Colony is one of great importance and is one that cannot be played by a man who joins up only at the moment of crisis.

"It takes a considerable time. to get a working knowledge of machine guns; or to become pro- ficient in working search-lights. and in performing many other duties you are undertaking. Al- though on the face of it there' ap- pear too many units and sub-units already in the Corps, yet there are other duties I should ask you to "undertake if only you could enlist the available man-power which exista in the Colony, such as tak- ing over part of the anti-kireraft defence, guns and lights.

Appeal for Recruits. "Because the Empire is up- posed to have its face set steadily towards Peace, that does not make armed forces a luxury. The idea was exploded long ago in the motoring world. However good a driver man may be he always insures himself against the other man. Even if we have good drivers at the head of the Empire they cannot prevent the other man running into us, and I there- fore appeal to you, all to do your best to get the potential power in the Colony to join up. I have it on good authority that ut the moment there are 1,000 available men in the Colony who are not taking any part in its protection: Untrained, they will be unit to go into your ranks
