DUTCH PRESS VIEWS:
An Opinion on the British Army.
Writing on the British army, the Nedor. lander says:-
Like the Franch, " British have in many respecte broken with their military traditions and avoided former mistakes. It had never before happened that jmtie diately upon the breaking cat of war a first-rate British army was in readiness to leave for the frost.

This is quite true but the pro- fessional military in all countrice, including in the first place officers and subalterus, are paid as well, and no one would think of reproaching them for it. Why should not a military man live pay, as well as lawyer or doctor on his fees.

Yet another Who's Who I had this time from Japan! The reader is apt at first to regard it as a curiosity, as a sign that the East has now become Western practically almost to the las detail. But Who's Who In Japan is far more than a curiosity; it is a very sound and useful reference book. It is printed in English And contains brief biographies, on the accepted model of prominent men in Japan. Mr Karita in a skilful editor and has döne his work well
