EMPIRE GENERAL STAFF.
Great War School Being Formed:
The official announcement that źlɑ" now title of Chief of the Imperial General Staf has been taken into use is practically the beginning of the formation of a General Staff The for the Empire in military defence. discussion of the creation of sich a staff hag been going forward for several years, and in February last a White-paper was issued Announcing some general principles. Previously the Chief of the General Staff” has been the designation of the past of the stratagiu director of defouce, but now that each Dominion is to have membership on a common staff with the Regular Army the word "Imperial" is added to the design- alion.
Bow
Some interesting particulars as available concerning this new Imperial: General Stad. The headquarters are to be in London, and each Dominion will have a braneb. under a local chief. It is desired to train officers for staff work on a common curriculum, so that when the forces of the Empire aro thrown together for war there will be no confusion of ideas. All will

have the same strategic military education, FIRE
and the leadship of troops will thereford be simplified. The ideal to be aimed at is that all divisions of the Empire force should be capable of acting in war as parts of a whole. This can only be realised when all the parts are trained by one brain -the General Staff. This staff must, thero- fore, be an entity in touch with the whole Empire, and to make it so all mem |bers will belong to one school of war. In a great war, Oversna troops will have staff officers selected from the local I.G.S. 900- Those attached to the Commander. tion.

In order to effect this, staff colleges, on the model of those at Cambadoy and Quetta, will be established in South Africa, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. Officers will be exchanged between all the various parts of the Empire, so that a very broad knowledge of Imperial requirements can be obtained by all.
As a beginning, Australia has dominated several officers to servo on the Indian staff and gain a knowledge of the frontier problems, which may sume day need the presence of Australisa troops, Major
