That is, when con- venjent, the War Office uses a certala set of stores like a stage-army, and lets it pass round and round the scene. Of course all this may be the merest gossip, but that the gossip should. exist is not a picasant fact.

We are not enemies of the Reserve systems, but instead have a strong belief in its value ; but we cannot believe it safe sever to look
