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

"This is the first ovenston on which I have had the honour of in- specting you and I must Co- gratulate you on your appearanen | and movement.

However good a driver a 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 bost to get the potential poor in the Colony to join up. i have it on good authority that at the moment there are 1,000 available men in the Colony who are not taking any part in Its protection: Untrained, they will be unfit to go into your ranks
