ARMS AND HONOUR.
Speaking in reference to tho compulsory training system at the Millions Club dinner in Sydney, 0110 of those who addressed the gathering said lie had remarked to a young fellow whom ho had met, "I am pleased to see you wearing the khaku." "Are vou? I'm not," was the reply. "I think it's .a. clown's job." The speaker said he bad pointed out that it was a privilege for a youth to wear the uniform of the country, with the result that, apparently, a new view of the matter had presented itself to the lad. In another case, young; fellows had objected to wear the uniform at work, and had asked for extra time off to go .home and change. He had told them that they were as much at work on parade >;is in tho office, and he had thus «ueoeeded in giving them some conception of the honour attached to training for the defence of their country.
