Clifton College Cadet Inspection.

Yesterday afternoon the annual inspection of the Clifton College Cadets took place but the clemency of the weather proved somewhat a drawback, although the work was -- smartly, and in a manner that called for a complimentary comment from the inspecting officer, Brigadier F.C. Heath, Inspector-General of Engineering.

The cadets paraded 263 strong, a larger force than usual - and went through various movements in the College Close. Companies were afterwards formed,and subsequently the cadets devoted themselves to various engineering works, including the construction of a barrel pier bridge on the lake by the Zoo, trestle bridge, single lock bridge, brashwood, derrick, gyn,and sbeers,high -- entanglement trench traversed and loopholes and trench traversed and recessed. - - -

C.L.B. Addressed by General Heath.

The Basingstoke Company of the C.L.B. paraded at the Rectory on Monday evening, and had the privilege of hearing an address from Brigadier-General Heath. The general, who was accompanied by Mrs Heath, arrived at the Rectory from West Ham, where he resides, at half-past eight, and was welcomed by the Rev. Dr. Boustead, Chaplain to the Company, in uniform, and found the Company drawn up on the lawn under the command of their popular captain, the Rev. E.C. Summers. 

The hymn "Fight the good fight" was sung in unison and after prayers the Chaplain introduced General Heath, who, he said, had kindly consented to come and speak a few words to them on this Empire Day.

Standing on the terrace facing the boys drawn up in front of him the General said; I have come here to help you celebrate this great Empire Day. It is a very fine thing, when you think of it, that at this moment perhaps - at any raite during the last few hours - there are something like fourteen million boys keeping this day. In Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, and dozens of other places, everybody is looking to their flag. This is a great thing to be proud of. I am proud of it and of course you are. What are we come here for? We have come here, I think, to show other nations that we intend to remain a great nation, a united nation. 

You boys have not had the chance to go about the world as I have. I have been toi a good many countries, both our own and foreign countries, and I see wherever we go how well we are ruled and what pleasures we have in our own country. I see how different it is in other countries and I thank God always that I was born an Englishman. There are things which make us proud of being a great nation. We have done a great deal for the world in the past and I hope we shall continue to do in the future. 

You have no doubt read in your books about the slave dealers; how they pounced down upon a village, slaughtered the old men, burnt the village and took away the small boys and girls to sell them as slaves. 

They were taken through the burning desert, and as I have been in the desert I can fully understand the misery of those poor people. 

Who put a stop to that? Your fathers and grandfathers. Take Napoleon. He was an ambitious and cruel man who kept the whole of Europe in arms. There was war, from east to west and misery everywhere. Who put a stop to that? The foreigners could not. We did it. We stopped that great tyrant from going on and brought peace to the world in consequence. 

There are the things to be proud of, and you are proud of them, I know. There are oither nations who want to be great too. They may be jealous of us and that gives us danger. They want or they may want, to take from us what we have got. We must be ready for them, ready to protect our own homes. 

It is my business to know what is going on in foreign lands, and I know what preparations are made, not necessarily to attack us, but to seize an opportunity one of these days to attack us. 

I think that before you boys are grown up we may have trouble of that kind. Then think of the shame of having a foreign mayor, foreign policemen and foreign schoolmasters to order you about. Yet that might happen.. Here you are doing something for your country. When you grow up join rifle clubs, and help the territorial army.

Remember that you are Englishmen and have got to behave as such. And remember that our country was made great not by slacksters, but by men who knew their duty and did it."

The Chaplain added a few words appropriate to the occasion. He said he was very glad indeed that they had been able to welcome General Heath here tonight. General Heath had spoken of travelling about the world and seeing something of the British Empire,. Looking this morning at a map of the world on which the part belonging to Britain was painted red, one realised how vast was the Empire to which one belonged; and when one looked at the tiny little spot called England on the map one feared dreadfully lest those who were safe at home should become narrow-minded because they forgot to look out on the great Empire to which they belonged.

Then followed the ceremony of saluting the flag, the Union Jack being brought to the front, while the bugles sounded and the boys and the officers stood at the salute. Then a verse of God Save the King was sung, after which General Heath called for three cheers for the King, which were lustily given and echoed by the boys in the street. 

The Vicar then called for three cheers for the General, which were heartily accorded. "Thank you, boys," responded the gallant officer, and the proceedings then came to an end.

My dear Heath,

The honours were done after I left the War Office. and I cannot say why your name was omitted, but of this I am perfectly sure that there is no such thing as a black mark against your name.

Possibly they thought that (Devine?) has lost seniority by not getting a Brevet for the war. I do not know.

I myself am much surprised now that you tell me of your claims.

My advice to you is to do and say nothing, but to leave it to me and SIr John to see to next year. I think we shall see you put right. Write to see me (melling?) next, early in the month.

I think it would be a false step if you made any protest now. (Pacer?) Corps and all of us know your value, and that you were specially selected for your present post.

Yours very sincerely,

C.W. Douglas

Dublin Day by Day.

The hills and dales of beautiful Wicklow resound once more to the shock of war. In the far-off centuries when the septs of the O'Byrnes and O'Tooles combined to harry the English pale, the hardy Irishry extended their raids from the Wicklow hills to the gates of Dublin. Again during the troubles of '96, the same picturesque hills were the refuge of the rebels and the scene of stirring deeds. 

At the present the soldiers of the King are actively engaged among them in practising the art of war. That brilliant cavalry leader, General Sir John French, is there with a critical eye to see how they do it. The directing staff comprises Major-General Sir G. Ferguson Bart., M.V.O., D.S.O., Brigadier-General E.S. May C.B., C.M.G.; Brigadier-General D. Henderson D.S.O.; Brigadier-General F.C. Heath, Colonel J.P. Du Cane,  - - -

Smiling in the vales of the garden of Ireland, the hillsides are richly wooded and now in the glory of summer foliage. From the landscape rises the aptly named Great Sugar Loaf and the Little Sugar Loaf. See  - - - -

The annual sale of work, Christmas tree, and tea party, in connection with St.Saviour's Church, Talke, took place on Thursday, and was a decided success.

The rooms had been tastefully decorated for the occasion and presented a smart and attractive appearance. The opening ceremony took place at 4.30pm. and there was a large attendance, including Mr and MRs Gilbert Nugent of Madeley Manor, Miss Rosamond Marsh-Caldwell of Linley Hall, the Rev. J.L. Edwards B.A. (rector), and Mrs Edwards,  - - -

The Rector introduced Miss Marsh-Caldwell who had kindly consented to perform the opening ceremony, and in doing so Miss Marsh-Caldwell expressed her great pleasure at seeing so large a company present and in declaring the sale open said she hoped their efforts would meet with every success.

At the conclusion Mr Robert Naylor proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Miss Marsh-Caldwell for her presence and support. The Rev. Harold Smith seconded the proposition.
