Wednesday February 16, 1916, STRATEGIC STUNTS BY SIR SAM HUGHES Continued from Page two.) whelt perhaps twenty per cent, of the honorary colonels turned up most of them late, though punctu- ality is the first virtue of a soldier. of course Sam told the colonels what he thought of them—and jet me remark right that some of Sam's thoughts wilf fry eges—but that didn’t increase th, number of those present: The Major General was puzzled to ac- count fop the change of heart in the warlike colonels. Looking about he espied two shorthand here reporters. “What are you here for?” he asked sharply, “To take down the General,” one of them replied. So that’s it,” said Sir Sam, his eyes snapping. “You fellows get out of here! This isn’t a blue book getting up. It’s a training course, If those blankety blank blighters up on the Hill want to come here and lecture, we're learn they'll listen.” The Major General’s eagle eye had penetrated the ruse.

Still view Major General Sam takes of there is something jin the it—namely that an honorary col- onel should be taught how to avoid falling over himself, The main reason for the lack of interest in General Sam's training course of parliamentary colonels is to be found in W.

The Canadian generals would come to the council board with a fund of common sense uncompli- cated by the little red rule books which ball British strategy up.
