“ALL TRIBES AND ALL NATIONS.”
Great Britain alone rallies beneath her flag all tribes and nations, and makes their sons the guardians of her Empire. The trim Canadian regimnts are a matter of course, and so are those mighty Centaurs from the South Sea, who year before last set the drill captains of Europe to wondering what would happen some day when the word ’Advance, Australia!” was given. For these are British as truly as the men of Devon or the Gordon Highlanders. But besides these, there are the Sikh and uhurka legions, and the Hausa regiments, and the Uganda riflemen, and the West Indian native forces, all splendid and effective troops ready for triumphant service anywhere on the drum-beat belt of the globe. —“New York Tribune.”
