"EFFICIENT."
"ALL RANKS RAN TO COVER." . The Victorian military commandant, Colonel Stanley, went to Queenscliff the other day to inspect companies of the Royal Australian Engineers and Royal Australian Artillery at the fortresses. The inspection, was greatly ■ interfered with by the unpleasant, weather. The artillery were inspected inside the fort walls instead of on the recreation, reserve. As soon as tho commandant had been received with the general salute a heavy rain squall caused all ranks to run for cover. That is all the "Argus" tells its readers about the inspection, but it adds, without any hint of sarcasm:/' Colonel Stanley returned to town thoroughly satisfied that the permanent men garrisoning tho forts at the Hacds were efficient."
