COLLECTIVE DISCIPLINE

THE MEANS TO AN END. Picas Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 4. (Received Jan. 5, at 7.45 p.m.) General Monasli, writing in the .Sunday Times, says: "There has been much stupid comment regarding the disciplino of tlio Australians, becauso the purpose of discipline was misunderstood. It is the only meahs to tho end of securing coordinated action for the achievement of a delinite purpose. It does riot mean ' lip service,' obsequious homage to superiors, servile obedience to forms and customs, nor the suppression of individuality. Modern war makes high demands upon tho intelligence and initiative of tho private soldier, and any method of training which suppresses individuality will rcduce efficiency. Tho Australian army is a proof that individualism is tho best, and not the worst, foundation on which (o build collective discipline."—A. and N.Z. Cable.
