The men of the Ninth Royal Scots (Highlanders) have been untiring in their training, and it is by no means light work charging up the hill sides, and seeking cover in the natural fastnesses. The photograph shows a charge in the true Scottish style.

THE SCOTTISH BANTAMS BEING TAUGHT JU-JUTSU. Lord Rosebery suggested that the regiment of the new army training in Edinburgh, and known locally as the Scottish Bantams, should be taught ju-jit&u, so that they might Lave something in reserve in the event of a hand-to-hand conflict with bigger opponents. This recommendation the authorities have adopted, and the above photograph shows men being taught the essential exercises.
