Physical Standards
"FIGHTING FOR
VOLUNTARY
SYSTEM"
The urgency of the need for recruits for the Regular Army, the Territorial Army, and the Supple mentary Reserve was emphasized by Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Knox, Adjutant-General to the Forces, at an informal conference recently at the War Office, states "The Times." ..
At the same time it was announ- ced that from December 1 the physical standards for the Army are to be made more elastic to allow of the admission of men who could be used for rearward services.

by the Irish Sweep- stake authorities to the owner- ship of the aeroplane Miss Doro- thy, in which Mr. James Molll- sou dew the Atlantic was men- tioned recently to Mr. Justice Bennett in the Chancery Division:
Mr. K. E Shelley applied on be- half of the Irish Hospitals Trust for leave to serve "short notice of motion for an action by Trust against Mr. Mol- Istoa and Rollason Aircraft Services Ltd., of Croydon Air-

An injunction was sought restrain Mr. Mollision and Roll- son Alrcraft Services from using the aeroplane Mias Dorothy, an which the plaintify claimed ownership, and which was ́origin- ally registered under the mark «E1-AAZ" formerly known the "Irish Swoop."
The Adjutant-General discussed several of the problems with which the Army is faced in getting recruits the fact that the Army is not a popular profession at the moment; the attractions of other branches ol the Services; "the change in social conditions; im- proved trade; and the physical

"The persons we say blame," he continued, "are the Bellanca Aeroplane Company, who purported to sell the machine to Mr. Mollison, having previously sold it to. They are in Ame- rica."
Mr. Justice Bennett; I suppose you could take some steps there to establish the plaintiffs' right to the aeroplane?
Mr. Shelley: We could have Kone to America and take pro- ceedings in the American courts.
"Neither Mr. Mollison nor Rol Jason" Aircraft Services, who have the custody of the machine, are outside the jurisdiction," added Mr. Shelley. "and I am in a posl- ton to bring an action against them."

The shortage of recruits was not altogether a question of pay. Armypitals Trust, and an injunction to pay did not compare unfavourably with the average wage rate for men of 18 to 20 in 36 of the lesa- skilled trades at age 18, and at age 20 there was still a sight balance in favour of the Army. The other side of the picture was service abroad. Many men spent three- quarters of their serving time abroad, and they returned to find themselves out of touch with con- ditions at home and faced with the dimculty of getting employ- ment. In a good unit discipline was not irksome. India was un-
popular because of the heat and the tedium, but a lot was being done to improve the Hfe of the British soldier there. He had heard from one divisional, commander that 400 men went trekking into the hills, and six men of The East Burrey Regiment climbed moun- taina and glaciers to the source of the Ganges and were feasted and garlanded by the beadman of the village there.
Mr. Justice Bennett: How long have the plaintifs been out of possession of this aeroplane?
Mr. Shelley; Something like 18 months.

Ultimately Mr. Justice Bennett granted leave to serve short notice of motion.
CLAIM GIVEN UP
It was announced that the Irish Hospitals Trust's claim to the aeroplane. Miss Dorothy had been settled. The statement was sign- ed by Capt. Spencer Freeman, on behalf of the Trust, by Mr. Molli- son, and by Mr. W. A. Rollasori.
The Trust is satisfied, it stated, thats Mr Mollison is an innocent party, and therefore it relinquis- hea any claim to the "piane.
This "gesture to a fine sports- man" is made promptly. It was added, in order that Mr. Mollison's night to the Cape might not be hindered.

Mr. Mollison recognises that the Trust took, action to protect its legal interests, and not for any reason inimical to himself.
No further claim will be made: against Rollason Aircraft Services
