couraged, as much by their own good sense as by orders, to keep as close to the ground as possible and to eliminate all unnecessary and betraying sound and movement. Their object then is to kill without being killed. On the parade ground men are taught to respond to the loudly shouted commands of one man. In battle or in battle manoeuvres they learn to issue orders, to pass them on, and to obey them as quietly as possible. The measure of their ability to do this is largely the measure of their capacity as fighting soldiers. Sunday’s parade in Christchurch will provide an engaging spectacle of little military value. On Banks Peninsula an instructive and useful day will be spent.
