AN IMPORTANT POINT.

January 10, 7.55 p.m. In the House of Commons, Mr. R. J. H. Neville (Conservative Nev M. P. for Wigan) saked whether the rule that subalterns and Cap Cordillere txins in the Indian and Egyptian Armies must serve nine year in Nikko Marn those ranks before being eligible for promotion was still being enforced, with the result that junior officers of the British Begular}< and Territorial Armine--many of whom were ignorant of native language were being promoted over the heads of the Indian and Egyptian officers, who were their seniors and familiar with native languages. Mr. Aurten Chamberlain said an appropriate remedy for the disparity resulting from the exceptional conditions of the war was unsary to davise, but the suggestions made by the Raj had been examined by a committee of the War Office and Ledia Office.

"I await their recommendations,” he said.
