has the required militia service for two
examinations, secure commission in
the regular service. The officers ap-
pointed in this way average close to
100 year.
When England called for volunteers
with which to prosecute the war in
South Africa there was the same rush
of applicants that characterized the call
for volunteers BY this country at the
breaking out of the war with Spain.
In the militia of England are many'sons
of noblemen, and even Of royalty, and
these were among the first TO place
their names on the long lists OF ap
plicants. H8 they were forced to take
their chances with other applicants.
While title may carry with it a GER
tain amount of influence, yet political
pull" as we know it, is not so eifec-
tive in England as it is in this coun-
try, and from the majority of the
young noblemen, whether they went as
officers or in the ranks, whom England
has sent to the front she has every rea-
son to expect efficient service. The
majority of them are not battle-tried
veterans, but they have secured their
military training as our volunteer Off
GERS did in the militia service.
AS in our service. there were many
exceptions to this rule, for many of
the officers of all classes had no previ-
Gus military training. Among this class
is the young duke of Marlborough, at
whom practically all America is laugh

England by the dukes ancestors Oh her
fields Of battle for two centuries en-
titled him to the opportunity, just as
many of our officers secured thei~ p
pointments because they were s,:n:
