little It is, therefore, not u surprising to find the Secretary of State for War saying that while the Air Force is modern and has everything up to date and a great future, not the least of the Army's difficulties is that it has less romantic appeal thin the other two arms.
We consider Mr. Duff Cooper over-estimates his problem.
Every regimental mess, every sergeants' cantéen, every volun- teers drill hall is a shrine of romantic and vigorous tradition. The rawest recruit, a week or two after he has slouched into the depot, is briskly aware of all Notice is hereby given that the battle-honours which his sixty (60) Debentures of the Above-named Club will be reregiment carriers, and of where

Mr. Chow gave a brief account of the activities of the club, of its with inception three years ago only a handful of Chinese who had

He thanked the public for their support given the club the rast three years at their annual dinner dances, and hoped that they would
