...charts of the range scores of the second battalion of the University Reserve Officers' Training Corps, which returned from Wakefield last Saturday, show a considerable improvement over those of the first battalion. Not only was the general average somewhat higher, but five experts were produced from these four companies. Their scores were as follows: J. Perrin '20, 222; C. T. Prindeville '18, 216; J. Clark '18, 214; T. Nelson '18, 213; F. W. Hatch '19, 210. Perrin's score of 222 is the highest yet obtained in the Regiment...

The flintlock has been superceded by breech loading machine guns which fire four hundred shots at a clip. To defend his home a man may have to defend a trench some four thousand miles away, over seas and foreign soil.

The home guards might well...
