Army Desertions on the Increase.
The percentage OF desertions IN the army,
he says, has increased from about 20 l2 per

recommends an increase in the reward Of
fered for apprehension Of dsserters and a
change in the law which will enable all civil
officers OF the government, states and tsrri-

offenders. He also recommends an improve
