Hongkong, 4th October, 1910, to use the words of Mr. Haldane, the officers have scffered a great deal of hardship. Is the right honourable gentlemas content to merely allow natɗte to lakariis course?
· The Japan Ch onle's, i ha Tuesday's issue, says: It seems that about midnight, about two miles after passing Wada Point, a red light was seen absal ten degrees bu this arbaard baw. The Siberia's course: Was mais cised attil a green light be came visible, and then again a red light, Thereupon the Siberia'e course, was altered slightly to sarboard, the lights then, showing red to red. Suddenly, the op-coming steamer's course was again changed, showing' a green light, and she blew iww blasts. At this junc ture, to avoid a collisina the Sibera's engines welo reversed, and three blas's sounded, tha of her vosuil still showing a green light,
On leaving port the Siborio had paised the Tomashim-mary, also outward,bound, and while this was occorrlagshe was fallowing the Siberta a short distance bebiad, on the star board side. The Captain of the Siberia, seeing that a cullition was inevitable, stopped the sagines to lessen the force of the impact. The
Tomashim vmarù however, continued to come straight on, apparently without even on- deavouring to turn aside, and struck the Biberta amidships, twelve feet befies the en gine-room balkhead, opening ore plate its foll width, and deating a plate above and below, besides backling three deck beams. Fortunate ly the damage was just above the water line, ard as an immediate lospection showed that on, serious consequences were to be feared, and the Temukimaandru appeared to be in no danger, Siberia it back to port and -anchored of Wida Paint The Tomashimo eriru also put back to port, with eleven of her plates badly, buckled At the time of the ac cident Cipiain Bischof, toland Fea pilot, was on the bridge of the Siberds and with him were Caprain Zeder, and the third and fourth officers,"

There are now over two hundrad lieutenanta | in the Royal Garrison Artillery with over ten years' service. Thaly outlay for uniform was considerable, and their pay is that of the ordin: MSSRS, HUGHES & HOUGH bava ary miner. In spite of Mr. Haldane's attention, that there is no reason to suppose that these, two hundred young officers will conticoo sub-
items all their lives, it is safe to say that until the they are disposed of the block will remain. Ar- saming promotion were to commence forth- with, the most favourable normal flow could not result in more than the promotion of more than some tou to twenty annually. As a mat-known as Nos. 4, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14 and 13, LI
ter of fact, there has band no promotion since May, 1908, so that there is every probability of the majority of the present soba teros conti sulog in their present rank till they die. It is useles Mr. Halding contending that the block is only teriparary, and will soon pase away; there is a justification for the right honourable gealle: man's admirably singu'ne temperament. The block has only just began, and cannot possibly pass away uotit removed by means which it is Ph his power alose to promole.
THE REMEDY.
Exceptional diseases demand exceptional remedies; and to our opialon the case of the Royal Garison #rtillery, calls for immediate consideration, with a view to the speedy amelioration of the present untenable state, of affair. It is the bounden duy of Mr. Haldane to do something to improve the posi
tesiga wholesale. Is the right hours gentlemas going to disavow the, promises de has made? is be going to take no steps (0) redeem the pledge gives by the War Cfice to the officers of the Royal Garilion Attillery
To the spicion of the pilot, if the Tomaskimation of these officers unless he wishes them to nt 11, had posted when the saw the Silerin porting, the collision might easily have bead Avoided, as the Tontashima-mara had plents, of room from sharo(about our and a half miles), making the.cvalotion possible. The accident is atributed solely to the confusing marner in which the steamer ahead changed her course; hoin part to starboard, and verse, 'not giving any definite indications of the direction she desired to proceed until too

THE R. G. A.
PROMOTIO I GRILVAnçes of ¿fficers.
THE POSITION WORSE."
Some time age, the military correspondent of the Globe, called attention to the question of promotion in the commissioned ranks of the Royal Carrison Artillery. The matter has not brea left there, for the same corresponent writes another very strong article to the soma paper, in which, referring to the first ventilation of the subject, he remarks:-It was hoped ibat. Mr. Haldane and his responsible advisers would Lave been able to see their way to an early con sideration of what is admikedly a genuine grievance; a griovacce that bears hardly on the
officers of a branch of the service whors superior educational attainments and professional quali Gestions entitle them to every possibls con. sideration and one that is fraught with no little daeger to the efficiency of the Army."

There are several remedies, of which we suggest one-extend to the Royal, Garrison Artillery the same privileges which have been conceded to the fodian Army and the Royal Engineers, and great automatic pro- mation or brevet to lieutenants, captains, and murs of a certain length of service. Some thing, however, requires to be done, and that without delay.

Despite the so called "sympathetic" cen sideration given to the mater by Mr. Haldane, the writer says the position of R.G.A. officer bas become woxes, and he proceeds:~There are no officers in the British Army batter educated in a general sense better equipped professionally, or more earnest and salons in the performance of thalt duties than those of the Royal Garison stillery. There is no branch of the service in which a higher fandard on entry maintains than in the Royal Regi ment; and is might hava kéta thought that the dictates of ordinary wisdom, let aisee.

THE BLOCK IN PROMOTION.
It if no exaggeration to say that at the pre- sent omert there is an absolute block in promotios in the comm'ssioned racks of the Royal Garrison Artillery. It is not, due to normal fluctuation, but to a variely of circum- stupces over,which the officers of the corps themiclves have had no sort of control. These causes include the large influx of officers due In the increase in the regiment brought about by the exigencies of the South African War, dorlog whith many fresh balleries and kmmusitlog columus were ralarti.
