Zee is confronted with a most serious
condition Of affairs Its call for volun-

'6any high officials, will bankrupt

20 the new rules every regiment must

and The government grant will be re-
iuced in proportion to the number OF

70 get mere than 40 per cent Of the

In addition the war office refuses
