GREAT NATIONAL SYSTEM.
The Moncton Times is recognized
as one of the best informed newspa-
pers on railway matters in the Mar-
itime Provinces. Its fair, judicious
and well informed criticisms have
been in marked contrast to the tir-
hdes of abuse on the part of many
of the Laurierits journals during the
recent agitation. Discussing the Ica-
tnrc of the controversy it remarks:

This, Lord Roberts argues, is a
false security that portends the
gravest danger, for a combination of
mischances might wipe out a whole
squadron in a few lninutes, and it is
in this connection he makes his plea
for universal military training.
Should the navy by any chance fail,
the country would he nt the mercy
of the invaders, unless there be s.
strong second line of defence, nnmer-'
ous and mobile and in thorouglr

The territorials, Lord Roberts as-
sures us, are inadequate for the pur-
pose of effectively opposing an invad-
ing army of trained regulars from
some European country, the available
terrltorials numbering about 255,000,
40,000 of whom are under nineteen
years of age. Of these 50,000 failed
to pass a very modest test in musk-
etry, and 35,000 did not attend the
summer camps for their annual in-
struction and review. The late of
