THE C 1 CAMP.

A GREAT ' SUCCESS. " , ® Tile Minister of Defence {Son. "SbJtunes Allen) stated in GhristchurclVtllat the Cl Camp was proving highly successful, and was an evidence of what could , be done by the physical training and de- i Velopment of men. , j i L “Wo get over 50 per ;cent. of thevmen .1 who go to the- Cl Camp physically fit service at the front. We cannot help itra if we have t<f take a little risk with, than men. You cannot say that any man will J go through all right. Men who go into'*s camp and are afterwards turned down j / complain that it is ,a waste of money, t That is true, and- we are very sorry. ■ / But they do hot have to run the risk of V going to the front. Because a rt|an hap- i pens to become unfit and is allowed out V, of camp, docs that constitute a grievance r j against the'Government? 'I cannot see i that it does. He escapes service—he escapes with his life. j “The lesson we are learning from the - Cl Camp will have to be implanted in [ our civic life after the war. It is too ; important to lose sight of the fact that ■ we can produce physically fit out of unfit men.”
