By the courtesy of the Government—says The Straits Times-we are enabled to give some further information with reference to volunteers who are in Government service the disposal of military pay received by The basis of the arrangements in following circular issued, ou December force during the first year of war was the 23rd, 1915, by the Colonial Secretary:-- "PAY OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES MOBILISED

Accompanied is usual by his Chief of Staff, General von Ludendorff, who always echoes his sentiments on these occasions, Hindenburg once more proclaimed his passionate Anglophobia. He said that he had been warning people against England for years. England was the real promotor of this war, and the whole Entente was still governed by the spirit of Edward VII. He expressed his pity for the French, who were doomed to certain decay. When the conversation turned to Russia Ludendorf protested against all speculations about a further German ad- vance or a Russian offensive, and Hinden-pay (including separation allowance, if burg and Ludendorff declared in chorus ny), and the salary (including duty that no hopes must be based upon anything allowance, if any) of their substantive. but military success, Hindenburg said that appointments.

In that position the important task fell to him of holding that vastly important fortress.

THE DERBY RECRUITS. The German newspapers are much em- barrassed by the news of the calling up in England of men between 19 and 22 yearS of age. The youth of the recruits upon whom England is just beginning to draw is almost a crime.
