MILITARY TRAINING
DEFENCE THE BEST PROTECTION FIELD MARSHAL BIRDWOOD'S ADVICE TO BOYS Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 1. (Received July 2, at 1.30 a.m.) “ The Prince of Wales is absolutely right when he described as cranks those protesting against O.T.C. training. We are not militant, but should be in a position to defend our country; therefore I hope that you boys will do your best,” said Field-Marshal Sir William Birdwood at Clifton College speech In reciting distinctions won during tho year, tho head master said that in Major Hore-Belisha they had the bestknown and most-discussed person in England, though he had been told that Perry, the tennis player, beat him by a short head. . The head master’s allusion to Major Hore-Belisha’s traffic manipulation, including the famous beacons, recalls Low’s recent cartoon dubbing him “ Archbeacon.”
