COMPULSORY TRAINING.

A QUAKER CAMPAIGN. United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Sydney, October 3. An emissary of the anti-militarist movement, Mr T. Brown, a quakef, arrived in. Melbourne from England last week to organise a campaign against the compulsory training system. He is going |to New Zealand first, and then will endeavour to stir things there. On the other hand, there are, according to information which has reached the Defence Department, two delegates in Australia from the United Service Dengue of Great Britain, especially sent but to report on the success of the Australian system, with a view to its adoption in strengthened form in Great Britain. Archbishop Wright told the Anglican Synod in Sydney yesterday that lie; welcomed the compulsory drilling ■of the cadets. He upheld the law as a. moral asset. It constituted discipline, and helped to teach self-con-trol as a habit. He was aware of the danger that lay £in the intermingling of the good and the bad boy at darill, but that intermixture was not as pernicious as the mixed society of the warehouse or tne workshop.
