THE Recruiting Office used
to be a sort of tube through which the waste-matter of the nation was drained off into the Bad Lands of the Empire.
The regular private soldier was despised. It was assumed-not with- out reason that no man capable of honest living and earning an shouldering the common responsi→ biles of the average citizen would ever join the Army.
ed
Since the turn of the century. however, it has been demonstrat-
that
good citizen can be a sound soldier-and, conversely, that a Regular soldier can be a good
citizen.

The simple fact of the matter in that before you ate a good soldier you must learn to be a good neigh- bour.
Soldiering, now, is by way of being a highly skilled trodo. It takes n high type of individual to practise n skilled trade.

NOTES ON THE NEW ARMY by GERALD KERSH
Author of "They Die with Their Boots Clean", of whom it has been written in the Evening Standard: "He knows what barracks smell like, how their inmates think, feel, talk."

"The War Office has arrived at the attract conclusion that it wants to the sort of men that may make formidable txxly of self-reliant, civi- lised Individuals serious professional soldiers-intelligent men of war.
Hence, the New Army.
The Now Army is to have cur- tains at His windows. "Lights out" will be abolished. Sick parades and pay parades will cease to exist.
This is all very well, I am entire- ly in favour of improved condi- tions in the Army.

But no. The entire issue is con- fused. For what do they take the potential British fighting man, that they try to attract him with chiniz curtains and sprung beds and little Jampa?
These are extremely pretty things to have; but a soldier wants, funda- mentally, certain things that ho regards as infinitely more important.
