THE DUTY OF ALL MEN.
The wave of apprehension that has passed over the Empire during/the last ten days has, we should hope, made men think more seriously of their . duty Jtowards their country than they have thought since the days of the South African War; We have expressed the opinion, says the ' Chnstchurch "Press," that far more important than the presentation of Dreadnoughts is a thorough overhauling of our defence system, and we hold that the basis of such revision should be universal service. But pending the adoption of a defence system of that character, it is the manifest duty of every man, particularly every young man to ioin a volunteer corps and learn how to defend his country. Financial aid to Great Britaid is all very well but the truest and best help that a man can give to his country and the Empire is personal service.—
