I agree with those who think that it is cheaper to pay high wages and have efficient soldiers though comparatively few, than to have multi- tudes on small pay who cannot shoot straight, maroh fast and far, or keep out of military hospitals and prisons. A soldier who could hit De Wet, Botha, or any other leader of an army opposed to ne would be worth his weight in gold.

Belong as the social position of soldiers remains what it is we shall never got an army of the best, and may bo vary thankful if we escape having an army of the worst. When a non-commissioned officer of good character tells me that he is taking his discharge from the army I often ask him why he does so, and he nearly always answere, "Because civilians despise os, und do not ears to walk with us in uniform If a high class of meu were induced to join the army by being allowed to live out of barracks the uniform would be more respected. For the game reason offcars and warrant officers should be obliged to always wear uniform oxcept when playing games, heating, or doing something of this kind. As it is, the higher non-commis sioned offers think that it is a great privilege to be allowed to dress in muiti, and they get into badly-tting, vulgar-looking clothes. By their example, ufficers should teach them that-it- is of a privilege to get out of uniform but to remain in it--Chambers Journal,
