THE WAR OFFICE AND THE
VOLUNTEERS.

At a meeting of Volunteer officers, held in Glasgow on
Tuesday, Mr. Anderson, M.P., read a letter from th s
Minister for War, giving further particulars of the new
proposals with regard to the Volunteers. Mr. Cardwell
stated that it would be less troublesome to
earn thirty shillings a year as an efficient
volunteer than heretofore ; and further, that a portion of
the force will be given every year an opportunity of
goin,,c, into camps of exercise, towards the expenses of
which Government would give a moderate contribu-
tion, besides arranging for obtaining rations at contract
prices. The meeting passed resolutions to the effect that
they wished to do nothing which would embarrass the
Government.
