??'..- :ri?on has now produce.!

told the House Committee on Military Af?

of the regular army ought to be to give

hausts its function? when it tutors cor.ti

for training two months in each year.
That is a ven.* narrow and mistaken
notion of the usos o? a regular establish?

regular army at nil we ought to taK*

in war with a military power itrong
enough to invade our territory and attack

But it is probably justified by the recent

their minimum sentence, and so are elig??

There has been raised the question
whether non-payment of the fines u*
