ABHORRENCE OF WAR.
. PRINCE OF WALES’ STATEMENT CONTROVERSY IN ENGLAND. LONDON, June 17. The Prince of Wales has raised a controversy by describing as cranks those who 'felt that the only way to express abhorrence of war was liy objecting to the healthy training and discipline which boys received in officers' training corps. The Daily Mail says: "Public opinion will heartily welcome tlie''vindleatlon of the oft-assailed officers’ training corps. It is time such assailants were rebuked. Tho training corps has done magnificent work in keeping alive Iho spirit of discipline and stimulating the patriotic feeling without, which there would be neither present safety nor future progress." The News Chronicle expresses the opinion that tho Prince of Wales has shown less than his visual tact and good sense by tipholding to public derision opponents of tho training corps.
"Why must the zeal for physical training and discipline express itself in contempt for people who think they can lie better secured than by learning to shoot, presumably for the ultimate purpose of killing other Europeans?’’ asks the paper.
