THE ARMY

London, Dec. 14. Field-Marshal Sir Philly Chet- wode arrives at Marseilles to- morrow in the P. & O, steamship Viceroy of India, on his way home. His last engagement before rella quishing command in India was to lunch with the cadets at the Indian Military Academy. Addressing them. he said:-

This is the last time I shall visit the academy before I finish my active, career. I was responsible for the inception of the college and sur satisfied that it is a success. But there is nothing like enough competition to get in, and if In- dianization of the Army is to be a success the competition among sultable candidates must be truble what it is now.".

Syfret, from the command of De vonport Gunnery School, relieves him. His lasat service afloat was in command of the cruiser Suffolk. in China in 1931-33. As Assistant

the Chief of Staff in the Medi- terranean he took part in the armistice negotiations with Turkey in October, 1918.
