SCHOOL LETTER. HE EDITOR, whose unfortunate lot it is to have to write this article, was entirely beaten in his attempt to find a suitable beginning, and so, seeing the absurdity of attempting to solve that problem he decided to do without one and at once to turn to School affairs.

Cricket is, of course, the great game this term, and has now got fairly going. The team, as is only natural has been greatly weakened by the best members leaving, but, nevertheless, it is much stronger than we had hoped, and, although the start is such as to be best passed over in silence, we look to the future for great things. The Masters' match has probably been the best played up to now and we must congratulate Mr. Yeld for very sportingly turning out, and making the excellent score of 19. Mr. Toyne is also to be congratulated upon his superb innings.

The O.T.C. has again been to the fore, and much excellent work has been done. We have already had a Field Day with the York Citizen Defence Force, and, although both sides claimed the victory, we are confident that the School really won the day.

Military Sunday, in which the contingent participated for the first time, proved a great success, and the much-rumoured " bombing " of the Minster proved, like most rumours, to be entirely without foundation. But we will not trouble our readers further by recounting these events, but we beg them to turn on to a later page of this magazine, where they will find these matters ably sketched by the pens of our numerous

HOCKEY CHARACTERS.

" war-correspondents." We cannot, however, pass from the account of the O.T.C. work without mentioning the coming inspection by Colonel Robson. That this inspection is not welcome to the N.C.O's. is proved by the fact that people who formerly were gay and light-hearted are now to be seen wandering about with dejected mien or poring over a drill-book, endeavouring to master some such evasive question as musketryinstruction.

In theatrical circles we believe that great events are pending and that before long the performance of the Clifton Grove theatricals will " stagger humanity " by its brilliance.

And now we think that we have exhausted all our material, and so we will close this letter by wishing our readers the best of luck in anything which they may take up.

HOCKEY CHARACTERS. THE XI. Though somewhat disorganised by boys leaving early and illness, the XI. may be said to have had a successful season, having won 6 matches and lost 3. The team showed better combination. The forwards must learn to follow up and shoot quickly.

E. P. PATTINSON. Forward. Showed considerable dash and increased scoring power. His absence disorganised the forward line.

R. A. HARPLEY. Back. Used his feet well, but was inclined to be too gentle in his methods. Left at half-term.

W. G. YEOMAN. Half-Back. Very much better on the wing than in the centre. Can use his stick and is good in attack.

Apt to lose his head at times.

F. L. WADDINGTON. Forward. Too slow for a forward and will probably make a much better back, where he has shown up well in practice games.

K. G. CHILMAN. Half-Back. A sound and clever player. Saved innumerable goals, and always seems to be in the right place.

ROWING CHARACTERS. A. B. RADFORD.

Back.

1113

A fierce player with a vigorous offensive

Slow to get back.

Forward. A clever forward, and a good shot when he has time. Must learn to tackle the backs sooner.

M. JONES. Forward. Does not use his pace as he should. A brilliant shot, but hardly came up to the early expectations at the beginning of the season.

R. G. DELITTLE. Forward. A most improved and improving player, always tries hard.

B. D. TOYNE. Back. A promising young player who uses his head, feet, and stick well.

C. H. S. ELLIOTT. Half-Back. Came on a great deal. Sticks to his opponent manfully.

R. R. RAINFORD. Goal. A plucky player who knows when to run out.

J. C. STAINTHORPE. Forward. Has plenty of pace and should be useful next year.

T. J. WRIGHT.

ROWING CHARACTERS. G. CWEsT. Stroke. A very fair oar who has had bad luck in being unable to race, through illness. Whilst he rowed he kept the rhythm of the stroke well and was quick with his hands. His finish was however weak, owing to the fact that he did not keep his back straight. He possessed a very fair leg-drive.

J. FERGUSON. III. A very plucky oar who has improved considerably during the last term. At first he was a trifle late every stroke, because he did not begin to turn the feather off directly after he had reached the upright. Very unsparing of himself and a hard worker, possessing a fair leg-drive, which howeVer he does no c use at the beginning of the stroke.

J. H. SERGEANT. II. Perhaps the strongest oar in the boat,

CRICKET.

1114

but at the present clumsy. He gets his hands away quickly but in his efforts to do this is inclined to " hoick " with his arms and clip the finish. His finish is in a strong position but not far enough back, so that his stroke is short. He pulls a very strong oar however and is improving rapidly. He possesses the only straight back in the boat.

R. C. CALVERT.

Bow. A willing oar who spoils his work by a very weak finish. He must remember that if the finish of a stroke is weak it is impossible to have a strong beginning.

He is at present slow with his hands and does not get his work on until half-way through the stroke. When he gets over these faults he will be quite good.

THE MILITARY GYMKHANA. This year we did not obey that message to all patriotic Britons • " Business as usual." The Sports were put aside for a Military Gymkhana, without the usual costly prizes. Every man ran his race for the love of running, and to be first at the tape was

his only ambition.

THE MILITARY GYMKHANA.

III9

There was the usual " Tilting the Bucket," with its watery footway and six inches of black mud. The mud is unpleasant, but of course we only laugh with the lookers on, when we start the contest as white men and end it as niggers Having changed our skins in defiance of the Ethiopian we return once more in a clean condition to take part in the " Slow Bicycle Race." This is an unsteady performance, where the competitors give the impression that they are returning home at two o'clock in the morning after dining out somewhat too extensively on the day before. When this is over a very small member of the junior class room rings a very large bell to proclaim the starting point of the next race. This is the " Obstacle." A straight run and then the long wooden forms stop our progress. We dive beneath them bumping and pushing at all around us. Out once more. The Pavilion steps are the next task. This is no easy matter as we are made to climb them feet first on our backs.

Next comes the water jump. With an uncleanly dislike for cold water you leap the mound. A splash and a confused struggle follows. Again you press forward leaving a wet trail behind you. Through the tubs and into the dark folds of a dirty tarpaulin you plunge desperately, gasping, pushing and kicking.

Suddenly a hand seizes hold of your leg. " What in the are you pulling my foot for " is your angry remark. " Foot " repeats a dreamy voice in the darkness. " Yes you silly idiot, my foot r There is a short silence followed by an insane laugh. " Oh ! yes, your foot, soot—did—I say foot or—soot." " Leave go of my foot will you ! " I—I haven't got your beastly foot," answers the voice in a choking whisper." "It must be caught in a rope then "—you reply as you kick violently in hopes of freeing yourself once more. " Don't, don't do that—the soot I'm all over soot " cries the voice again, this time in more pitiful tones than before. At last you manage to get your foot loose and push yourself forward. Immediately the darkness is filled with the strong smell . of soot. Your unknown companion is coughing and blowing behind you. He is not going to win this

race. With all your strength you push back the outer flap of the tarpaulin and emerge blinking and begrimed into the sweet sunshine. The owner of the voice follows you: He is black from head to foot, while his clothes are dripping great drops of dirty water upon the ground. " Who are you," he enquires. " Who are you," is your reply. " Oh er—I believe my name is Hopkins," he answers, and then begins to laugh foolishly.

Without waiting to hear more, you start to run the last 200 yards. No one else is in sight. You are undoubtedly the first this time. Where have the crowd gone ? Cheers are heard coming from the Big Hall, loud and vigorous cheers, which reveal the truth in fearful mockery. They are giving away the prizes: You are alone and an Ethiopian once more.

A LECTURE. On March 1.6th, a lecture entitled " -The Road to Calais," by William le Queux, was read in the Big Hall

by Mr. King. The lecture was accompanied by a large number of very excellent photographic slides, illustrating the lecture.

The lecture fil.st gaVe a resume Of the war from the very beginning, how Belgium had gallantly stood in the breach while England and France were getting up their troops, how the British Army had crossed to France, and completed the difficult feat of transportation without a hitch, and had at once becn thrown into the fight ; and how it had with superb discipline and bravery . .

endurthiblafomMns,ytleprwad with all the more energy when at last the Allies began the advance to the Marne.

The Germans had swept forward like a wave up the beach, but their strength had failed before they had reached Paris.

Then had been the retreat to the Marne, after which Von Kluck had striven to outflank the Allies by extending his line towards the coast and so get round the Allied line. But as quick as h € , the Allies had also extended and the great movement failed.

Then the long battle on the Aisne followed, and the battle began.

O.T.C. NEWS.

to shift gradually until it became the fight for Calais. And all the time the Aisne fighs'.: was proceeding the Belgians had been disputing their t( rritory inch by inch until after the fall of Antwerp they had fallen back and taken up their position in the long line stretching from Belfort and Verdun to Nieu-port. Thus the Allied line was formed which finally defeated the German plan of campaign.

Soon followed the different orders of the Kaiser, " Calais at all costs," and this lessened to " Ypres at all costs." The Germans next attempted to get past the line on the very seashore, but after a long struggle they found their efforts vain, for with the Allies in front and the British fleet shelling them from the flank they were mown down. And thus the efforts to take Calais were in vain.

The lecture was very well illustrated by a large number of very good lantern slides, some of which showed gruesome remains of German charges or retreats and we went away after a very interesting lecture with a strong idea of the huge numbers of German losses.

STAINER'S CRUCIFIXION. A devotional performance of this oratorio was given by the Choir on Wednesday in Holy Week. The principal solo parts were sung by the Rev. R. 0. Hutchinson, Mr. A. E. Long and T. J. Wright. The Service was much appreciated by a large congregation, and the performance reflected great credit on all taking part.

It was also sung by the School Choir at S. Sampson's Church.

0 T.C. NEWS. FIELD DAY AT STRENSALL COMMON. (Taken in extenso from the " Yorkshire Herald.")

Many glances of admiration were cast in the Railway Station, York, yesterday morning, at between three and four hundred sturdy khaki clad youths who paraded on one of the platforms

1122

O.T.C. NEWS.

preparatory to entraining in an orderly and exemplary manner, in a troop special bound for Strensall and Flaxton at a quarterpast ten. They were typical public school boys, and emanated from the Officers' Training Corps of St. Peter's College, York, Ampleforth College, Hymer's College, Hull, and the Leeds Grammar School. The St. Peter's boys, who were played to the station by the O.T.C. band, included an Ambulance section, and were under the command of Lieut. S. M. Toyne and Sec. Lieut. Barnby. The Ampleforth O.T.C. was commanded by Lieut. Mawson, with Lieut. Maddox second in command.

Hymer's were under Lieut. Rand, and a lead was given to the Leeds Grammar School Corps by the Headmaster, Capt. WynnEdwards.. The object of the visit to Strensall and Flaxton was a field day, in which Leeds and Hymer's, constituting a portion of a white army, tried issues with Ampleforth and St. Peter's, who were units of a brown army. Colonel H. T. Hay, of the West Yorkshire Regiment, officiated as umpire, and was assisted

by Major Saulez, of the same regiment.

THE PLAN.

It was assumed for the purposes of the campaign that a White Army was holding a line, Mahon, Kirkham, and Stamford Bridge, while the invading force, the Brown Army, advanced from Scarborough, Filey, and Hornsea. On March 15th an indecisive battle was supposed to have taken place at a spot between MaIton and Kirkham, but the White left showed signs of giving way owing to lack of ammunition and supplies. The headquarters staff of the White Army at Harrogate were made aware of this, and ordered a convoy----Leeds and Hymer's O.T.C.--to work through from Strensall to Harton and Kirkham.

This was naturally foreseen by the General of the Brown Army, who sent a company—Ampleforth and St. Peter's—on March 16th to make a wide detour and attempt to cut the lines of communication between Strensall and Harton and capture the convoy.

A fertile imagination and the North Eastern Railway Company enabled the spectator yesterday morning to see that a considerable advance had been made, for at 10-50 the Whites were ready

O.T.C. NEWS.

1123

to march from Strensall, while twenty minutes previously their adversaries had set out from Flaxton in the direction of Strensall Common. The difference of a third of an hour was probably accounted for by the maturing of a non-committal sentence in the orders, anent the arrival at Strensall, that " probably both Hymer's and Leeds could eat some rations then."

BROWNS SIGHTED.

Out on the common the Browns were first sighted on the brow of a ridge by a " thin " advance party of the opposing army, and fire was opened at a range of some 800 to 90o yards, although the firing party were only ranged for 500 yards. Each side made mistakes in the initial stages the Whites -advanced too far from their second line, and the Browns adopted the always dangerous experiment of having two lines firing simultaneously, the second line over the heads of the first, when there was a considerable distance between the two. The aim of the White attack was apparently to draw the enemy on to the main army.

The enemy, however, had a well-drawn-up plan. They intended their main army to advance on an almost direct route from Strensall to Flaxton and engage the Whites. Subterfuge and the finesse of warfare also had a place in their machinations, for they had arranged that when the main body reached a certain point a false convoy would set out on a mission, while' the real convoy a little later departed on another route. However, " the best laid plans of mice and men oft gang agley," and history repeated itself. Not only did the decoy not deceive, but the real convoy, like a certain stage character, " took the wrong turning," and for all the purposes of the campaign was lost. The Whites tried to rush it through, but Ampleforth was in waiting, with St. Peter's bringing up the rear.

MAIN ARMIES MEET.

The main armies met in close proximity to a wood near the level crossing on the Strensall to Malton Road, where the Browns inflicted a crushing defeat upon the Whites, putting 90 out of action, largely by the good work of the St. Peter's Corps. The. victory was attained at the cost of 30 men who were ambushed, and consequently ruled by the Umpire to be hors de combat.

1124

O.T.C. NEWS.

Firing with blank cartridge, it naturally takes a good deal of persuasion to induce the officer in embryo to see that he is dead, or at any rate ought to be, but the Umpire's decision places him out of action, where in quiet and repose he may carefully consider the pros and cons of the question without having any opportunity of doing damage to his opponents. The Ampleforth and St. Peter's Corps deserved the victory they achieved, and both sides undoubtedly gained valuable experience from the day's engagement. One point that was brought home to all who took part was the absolute necessity for adequate communications.

It was a fault common to each army, and largely accounted for the loss of the convoy. Most of the communications, by reason of dull and hazy weather, had to be made by orderlies, although some effective signalling work was done by Signallers Lofthouse, Wilson, Cutforth and Gray, of the St. Peter's O.T.C. So well were they concealed that for a long time they failed to catch the eye of even the observant Umpire.

CHOICE OF COVER.

A point with which Colonel Hay was pleased was the choice of cover by the respective armies, cover which enabled them at critical points to avert disaster. The officers and non-commissioned officers of each army were supplied with plans of the country over which they were marching and fighting. The plans denoted woods, ponds, metalled roads, and cart-tracks, and had been cleverly executed by a member of the St. Peter's O.T.C., W. A. Pritt.

By three o'clock the bloodless battle was over, and the boys returned home thoroughly tired, but in high spirits, to enjoy the special " brew "—dear to the heart of the British school-boys which is the concluding item of an O.T.C. Field Day. IL ROUTE MARCH. On Thursday, May 13th, the Corps went for a route march to Heslington Common and back, the distance covered being about II miles. The march through York was enlivened by the advice of a passer-by who abjured us to kill the Kaiser, and who went into hysterics over the small size of some of the recruits.

A fter this we marched on for a long time and very unfortunately

O.T.C. NEWS.

t I_L,25 -

got lost; We then made a detour of about two miles (some' of the Corps assert that it was ten) and eventually, after wandering up and down one field about four times, we reached our destination. In this field we also saw a horse which had fallen down, and at first thought that it was the " fiery. charger ". of the C.O., but this.. proved to be false.

There We- practised:some trench work, which, to .most : of us, proved.,very enjoyable and instructive. Unfortunately, ii._ one of our charges we were compelled to man a very narrow trench, and a certain member of the Corps who is of the " all-round " type of soldier stuck fast, and it was only with great difficulty that he was extricated. After this we set out for home, which, after a few minor incidents such as losing a. section, we reached in safety. AN N.C:O. •

III. YORK MILITARY SUNDAY. This year York Military Sunday demanded greater things of us.

The O.T.C. was of course in predominance for we were to march down to the Minster as members of His Majesty's Forces.

Saturday arrived full - of peace and sunshine.' In- , a peaceful and poetical mood you leave the parade ground after an inspection for the great event on the morrow. Near the chapel there is a.small circle of boys in eager conversation. One of their number is a dayboy, who free from the terrible monastic seclusion of a boarder's existence can return homeward at eventide to indulge in the sensational headlines of the half-penny papers. You greet him with a smile and " Well Hopkins, if it is like this tomorrow, we will have a splendid day for the march to the Minster."

This is followed by a fearful silence, then the dayboy member of the community speaks again" Splendid day " he replies, with the utmost sarcasm " Yes it will be for the Germans " "Germans you repeat in a scornful voice, Germans 1" " Haven't you heard the news " enquires a voice, " No Not heard the news." comes the reply. There is a rush and you are surrounded on all sides by a small crowd. " The Minster—gunpowder—blown up--Germans," are the terrible words: you hear from around you, ". Get out I, will tell him " shouts the dayboy. You walk a,little going nCe with him and then he- stops abruptly. "

to be a sort of second Guy Fawkes business " he begins. " Gunpowder, a bang, and then " he waved his hand over his head suggestingly—" you wont know anything more." " But ! " you venture to remark. " The Germans " interrupts your companion " have been caught placing bombs in the Minster."

You smile, " Oh ! laugh away, it will be your last. I'm not going tomorrow and that is certain," he added. Once more you continue on your way, but now the sun appears to shine less brilliantly, and your thoughts grow less poetical. By the time the field is reached, however, you return to your happy state of mind once more.

A gate opens and Thompson walks up to you. " Going to the Minster tomorrow," is his first remark. " Yes " you reply sharply. " I'm not " he answers, and with a laugh he passes on his way. The sun has gone out and the day is plunged into darkness. !

" The platoon will move to the right in fours ; form fours ; right ; quick march ! " With the band before us we pass out of the School gates towards the Minster. Near Coney Street we halt for other regiments to pass. Bands are playing around us, drums are beating. Every musical instrument in York appears to be sounding its particular note. Further down the street the Marseillaise is in noisy combat with five other popular marches, while banana sellers proclaim the excellence of their own bananas compared to all others on the market. To the sound of our drums and the victorious Marseillaise we move forward again, leaving the five inferior marches to bellow their angry protests to the multitude.

The service proceeds as usual until the sermon. Your thoughts which have been interrupted up to this time now turn to other matters. This chair on which you are sitting may soon be lifted skyward. Every man in a civilian's dress has a German appearance. It is, Germans to right of you, Germans to left of von.

Q.T.C. NEWS.

There is silence for a few seconds as the preacher stops in his sermon. A strange sound attracts your attention. There it is again. Tick ! Tick Tick! Tick! Heavens ! it must be a bomb.

Very cautiously you bend down and look beneath your chair.

It is dark at first bat slowly your eyes become accustomed to the change, and there within two feet of your face is a shining black object, while far louder than before comes the steady Tick ! Tick ! Tick ! For a moment you feel like the man in Edgar Alan Poe's story of the beating heart. No time must be lost.

Desperately you seize hold of it and endeavour to draw it forth without attracting attention. There is a grunt and a gruff voice from behind inquires angrily " Ere 'oose a'pawing at me feet." Feeling extremely nervous and hot after these exertions you turn round to find a burly member of the cavalry vigorously brushing his putties after your previous attack on his spurs.

At the end of the service we draw up outside ready for the march. There is a silence once more. Again that strange noise is heard, Tick ! Tick ! Tick ! Tick ! You look down and see the edge of a small strap hanging from your pocket. Placing your hand inside you draw out that old American watch which has been your companion for so many years. Your only remark as you place it back in your pocket is " Well you have made me look a fool ! " Tick ! Tick Tick ! replies the cheap American watch. " The platoon will move to the right in fours ; form fours ! right ; quick march ! " With the drums before us we start on the march. Once more the sun is shining brilliantly and the day is filled vvith light.

NOTES AND ITEMS. The School, as far as its human members are concerned, -has undoubtedly been provided with a thoroughly efficient system of rules. But, as many weird creatures have been seen at parades and cricket matches, we wonder if it would not be advisable to make these rules apply to the canine members of the School as well, and we certainly think that they should be made to obey rule 3o :—" That no dog shall do anything in any way unworthy of a pedigree dog."

The O.T.C. has now advanced to the stage of bayonet-fighting.

One day several members of the Corps hung two sacks filled with straw and sand to the cross-bar of a goal-post and a very illustrious member of the Corps was just going to giN e an exhibition thrust when a terrific report rang out. Everyone started and gazed about, fully convinced that it was a bomb from a German Zeppelin or perhaps a shell from a L000-inch gun which the Germans had mounted at Heligoland. But no ! it turned out to be neither of these things but only the cross-bar which had broken under the weight of the sacks. That the bayoneteers " have not ceased in their endeavours, however, is attested to by the large quantities of straw, sand, and cut-up -here- encountered. sacks -N-N-hich 'are everywhere Cy. Sergt.--Major French we are glad to say - is still all right,

and an extract taken from a letter of his to Mr. Adams will be of interest to our readers. It is as follows : " At night when it is dark we often hold conversations with the Germans by shouting over to each other, as we are only about 8o yards apart. It is alright when the Saxons are in front of us, we talk quite decent to them, but wheri we know the Prussians are there we keep up a hail of the best swear-words that can taunt them."

This term the School possesses a colossal number of monitors of all descriptions. In fact, matters have reached such a pitch that the ordinary person dare not speak in a familiar way to anyone, except a junior, for fear that he is speaking to a monitor.

Many of those slow, stupid, unintelligent, heavy sort of people, who never get beyond the Fourth or Lower Fifth, are now compelled to do impositions for people whom before they were wont to regard as insignificant, but who now blossom forth in the full pride of their monitorship and order about these " aforesaid specimens " in a most ,annoying way.

Congratulations to B. D. Toyne, R. G. Delittle, R. R. Rainford and C. H. S. Elliot, on receiving their School Hockey Colours ; also to J. M. Ferguson, J. H. Sergeant, and R. C. Calvert, on receiving their School Boating Colours.

We wish success to A. B. Radford and K. G. Chilman on being appointed respectively Captain and Secretary of Cricket ; also to W. G. Yeoman and F. L. Waddington on their appointments as respectively Captain and Secretary of Hockey for 1916.

A Confirmation was held in the School Chapel on March 22nd, by the Lord Bishop of Beverley, at which eleven candidates were confirmed.

to keep us out of mischief when we have a minute to spare. We, that is " E " Company, which I grace (! !) with my presence, have had two rewards however, we have been posted in Battalion Orders as a model for the others in tidiness and then there is the humour of the situation, invisible till afterwards.

One morning when we were scrubbing our forms, the only piece of soap was lost. One man kicked up a fuss, how could he make things clean without soap ? Of course he couldn't. That piece of soap was found sticking to the underside of a form he had himself been washing.

Then the confusion of orders is annoying, to say the least of it, but is laughable afterwards. First we are told to fold our sheets in six then three. Next a towel is to be spread over our bedding, that is done away with and renewed the following day.

There is one man who rolls his kit rather badly. He is constantly being dropped on in consequence. His explanation is that once, three weeks ago, he offended the Coy. Sergt.-Major by doing something right when all the rest did it wrong Now he gets up before even the orderlies to make his bed correctly.

To end up with I hear that Sergt.-Major Ryan who was Gym. instructor at School about a year ago, has been promoted on the field for bravery. This news I have from a private who was in the same regiment and has a photo of Sergt. Ryan, so there is less chance of a mistake.

.

DEAR EDITORS, I have often seen in the Peterite invitations to Peterites to express their views, through the medium of that periodical, and as a " constant reader I call it a periodical," advisedly.

For once I feel that I am far enough away to express my views without an immediate reprisal, I am unfortunately one of those much abused and very much underrated men a Censor, and must omit all those interesting " stories " we hear, as I should only have to erase them afterwards in my official capacity.

LIBRARY NOTES.

Having been out here rather less than three weeks I am qualified to give information and advice on any point. I came out as a member of the Army Cyclists' Corps, and I see from your last issue there are other old boys in the same unfortunate position. Up to the present time we have not done more than listen to the guns and watch the aeroplanes, and have spent our time in riding about and trying to read the maps, which with the roads, are numerous and bad, the latter being trying alike to the anatomy and the bicycles. We have learnt never to ride on a first-class road if there is a third-class road going in the same direction (and there are generally several), as the first class roads are either made of Pave, or are cut to pieces by excessive traffic, and in either case are filled with a succession of every known form of conveyance, moving along in a cloud of dust, with Policemen to hold them up at the inconvenient points.

There is one advantage of cycling, it is possible to cover a large area of country, and see the ruins- and graves of our predecessors, without being told we are trespassing on the ground occupied by another army. The catering out here is wonderful ; we get food, drink, fuel, tobacco, cigarettes, and even daily papers with the utmost regularity, supplied by a grateful country, and if it was not for the awful war, life would be very pleasant.

Owing to my privilege as a C.O. of bringing 50 lbs. luggage, I was able to bring the last bulky copy of your paper with me, but I don't carry it about with me, and although I have met many O.P.'s I have not been able to emulate the feat of your correspondent and hand it on.

With best wishes for the success of the School now and at all times, I remain, dear Sirs, Yours, ECOSSAIS. LIBRARY NOTES. REVIEW OF BOOKS. " What every soldier ought to know," published by the Oxford University Press, is a very useful little book, and though small

1132

O.P. NEWS.

it contains all the really necessary information that a soldier requires. It is divided into two parts, the first containing advice and many invaluable hints, is well worth the while of every soldier to study. The second part deals separately with the various parts of a soldier's training and equipment. The article on the care of the rifle is very useful, whilst that about scouting should be known by every soldier, and the following extract should show how useful this book is to the training of a soldier :—" When scouting be careful to avoid exaggerating the strength of the enemy. This is a common fault.

200 Infantry in fours 120 Cavalry at a walk pass a given point 5 Artillery Guns at a walk in one minute."

5 Wagons at a walk " Every Officer's Note Book," published by the same firm is a summary of the commands necessary for squad, section, platoon, company and battalion drill and would be quite advantageous to N.C.O's. and Officers.

The copies of the Peterite are being bound, and the following copies are required to complete the series : Nos. 173, 177, 178, 181, 184, 195, 196, 197, 200, 201, 205, 207.

It would be rendering a great service to the School, if any Old Peterite who has these copies, would send them to th Editors of the Peterite, and we hope in our next issue to be able to acknowledge the receipt of these copies.
