II Is considered likely that his

HEIGHT IN THE ARMY.
Good Points of Soldiers Bear No Re-
EntiOn to stature

(Erom the Chicago NcuS.)
Some British service papers cannot see
the wisdom OF maintaining a standard Of
height for applicants for the army except
IN so far as IL may be necessary 20 exclude
positive dwarfs. This opinion is called
out by the recent statement BY the au-
tho-ities % the War Office that recruits
for the artillery are now permitted to be
two inches shorter than before the WAT
but the candidates for the line and for the
army service corps get remission Of only
a half inch
midas Civil and Military Gazette
protests against the exclusion from the
British army OF short men. Few men. IL
points out. are shorter than the Ghoorkas
or taller than the Highlanders. yet il SAYS
that out OF these two come some Of the
best fighting material that the British
Empire can produce. If we exclude from
the army" IL declares. men built on the
short GhOOrka pattern 10 would be Just as
reasonable 10 keep out the taller High
LANDER
Experience Of all nations and all wars
has shown that mans muscular strength
and capacity for enduring fatigue have no
relation whatever 10 his height. and. in
deed. there are many close s.udents of
physiology who insist that short men are
on the whole, stronger than their taller
brothers Such are fond Of citing the case
OF the bluejacket who, as rule CT
height is not so strict in the navy as in
the army. is often comparatively short:
and yet It would be rash person. indeed
who would consider the jack tars as
weaklings.
There IS no denying that the rnixiny Of
tall and short men in regiments tends to
produce grotesque appearances. but this
does not say that their fighting qualities
would IN any way be affected disastrously
says the Army and Navy Journal" If
the advocates Of harmony in line, like
Frederick the Great. who was not happy

by Lord Roberts.

London, July THE War Office today
issued the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:
pretoria, July 7.-General Butler ar
rived this morning. He looked very we'll,
and is apparently none the worse for the
hard work he has gone through during
the past eight months.
"The inhabitants of Potchefstroom are
much interested in hospital accommoda-
tions for the British troops. A concert
there realized forty pounds [$2OO], which
was handed over to the medical officer in
charge for the Krugersdorp station. The
managers of some of the local mines have
placed several houses at the disposition OF
the medical officers in charge, and large
hall has been set apart as reading room
for the troops"
Another dispatch has been received by
the War office from Lord Roberts as fol-
lows
"Pretoria, July THE general COM

British prisoners belonging to the Yeo
manry and Derbyshires have been put

Reitzs party, and have reached Actor

Lord Roberts also transmits the follow
ing:
"Vlakfontein, July IA convoy passet

croft's men occupied the hills to the righ
of the narrow pass, keeping the Boer

artillery occupied a position under tn
ridge. The Boers worked their guns rap
idly but the Howitzers replied with el
feet and drove back the Beers over tn
ridge. The convoy passed safely, an

again advanced with gun on the ridge
The British left field battery replied. Tn
