property. Tfoe cause of the fire, it is
said, was due to the chimney- catching

setting fire in. the next instance to
some woodwork.
The Minister for Defence is -considering
the best means of letting Lord
Kitchener judge the condition and efficiency
of the citizen forces. The suggestion
is that big training camps shall
be held in each State, so that Lord
•Kitchener may have an opportunity of
seeing fairly large bodies of Australian
soldiers at concerted work. This plan,
if it is finally adopted, will involve
some of the biggest military camps
that have been held in Australia. No
effort will be spared to bring everyavailable
man into camp, and it is expected
. that there will be a ready re-,
sponse to the call by all cou^eri^d
