("Hong Kong Daily Press" Special)
Moscow, Aug. 12.
A new decree just issued by the Soviet Government will have the effect of increasing the men under colours by 59 per cent. This will be fected by lowering the age at which military service begins from
to 19. The system will come into force forthwith, and erected in the way that the recruits who come up for training this year un- der the old system will be supple mented by recruits from under the
system.

This will cach year untti all those of 19 years of age will immediately be called for training.
The reason for this step is not stated, but cannot be a measure to all the gap suffered from the world war years, as Russia suffered in other this respect far less than countries.

It is conceivable that two formations of bombers, one from each side, may pass each other in midair and pay not the slightest attention to each other.
In auch a campaign the part played by the Aghter aeroplane will be purely defensiver It will be designed for speed, climb, and weight of fire. Range will hardly be considered.

Consequently the fighters are hard- ly likely to cross a frontier, and the idea of a dog-fight between op- posing fighters may he ruled out as almost impossible to happen. Incidentally, it may be noted that there are no fighter squadrons i any of the overseas command of the Royal Air Force.
