CORRESPONDENCE.

[Our correspondents' opinions art their own; the responsibility oi editorial oiie.s makes sufficient ballast for the editor's shoulders.] COMPULSORY MILITARY TRATXIXG. (To tlio Editor.) fciir,—H doesn't concern the merit whether 1 sign myself "Game Cock" or Bill .Smith, the argument is the thing to be considered, and Mr Leger ■ knows it. Let me sny it onco again : the man who does not believe \n training to defend himself and his family from possible invaders—Japanese, Chinese, or any other—he's a moulter and a poor citizen. Mr Leger is against compulsory military training, but I wager he enforces compulsory fowl exercises in his fowi yards and compulsory carbolic if necessary. Any fowl who gets too fat because she regards the necessity of scratching for her wheat in the straw J litter as "interference with the liberty of tho subject" is sure to lose the linmbor of her ring, I wager.— ! Yours truly, GAME COCK. Kimbcrley road, May 25th, 1913.
