ROUND ABOUT THE

KHYBER.

THE CHINA

The Khyber Pass is one of the historic spots of the world, one of those unhappy places which, like Belgium, have had too much history. From the beginning of man's era upon earth it has been the main avenue of inrush upon India; it has seen so much of slaughter that the! very stones which speckle its arid men. There are many men to hom India has meant just the Khyber, the

xities, and there are men, servants of the Empire, living hard and perilous lives, to whom it is so even yet.

Having acquired the art of com mand," said an ex-captain of the .G.A.," we are now reduced to the humiliation of begging for jobs. I am not condemning employers.

London is full of young officers seeking employment.. sald another ex-officer. So long as they can cling to their uniform they retain their self-respect, but once they get into mufti they lose heart.

"I have a horror of meeting, some of my men, said an unwanted captain of infantry. The very gifts that made us valuable in the Army are useless now. Out there youth and quick decision counted as virtues now they are defects. The cry is for experience, knowledge, restraint, and it was easier to storm.

One of the problems of India has that is to say, a frontier consistent with all the complexities of strategy, ethnography, and polity. In part it has solved itself along natural lines in part it has evolved itself along the lines of a definite policy. It is best, perhaps, that it should always retain some degree of elasticity, for. naturally, the demands made upon it vary very considerably. Akbar the is the British Raj of to-day, and it fighting before he could reduce it to a semblance of order.
