ARMY OFFICERS TO CARRY RECORDS OF THEIR SERVICES.
The report of the committes ap pointed to inquire into the system of promoting officers in the Special Reserve, New Armics and Toritorial Feres, with "specint regard to anomalies which may have arisen, was issued recently.
The committee point out the immonse dithenities of officering now battalions in the first emergency of war.
The fact that the British armies of today were brough
brought into existence while all the time an ever-broadening front was successfully held against the enemy, constitutes an achievement unexampled in military records. That there should at the same time be an enormans inund- ber of inequalities. Inconsistencies and anomalies in the fortunes of individuals is in no way remarkable."
It may be stated in the m positive manner that no subject whatever exceply promotes to lieutenants after is Frisoner questions was discussed as the Hague. The Conference dealt with 遽 variety of such questions, and it may be stated with some confidence than autis Inetory agents wery arrived at with Towal, Single and Double Bed Sheets, pet to thers.
