BRITISH OFFICERS' NEW RULES
LONDON. Every young officer in the British army, upon joining a certain unit, is issued with a sheet of "notes for junior officers." And among all these, he finds the fol- lowing ten commandments.”
1. Do not be sarcastic, lose your temper or swear at a man
2. Neither condemn a man un- heard nor show partiality.
3. Do not order a man to do that which you are not prepared to do yourself, and see that you know how to do it better than he can.
4 Keep your men busy and in. terested at all times.
5. Take an active part in your men's recreation.

That was understandable. However satisfactory the results in the pro duction of fine soldiers and keeping a steady line between the Army and the district's from which recruits came, the Indian Army found its interests concentrated in a comparatively few areas in civil life.
Proceeding, he said:
