COPIED AFTER AMERICA
New Army Regulations Pro-
posed by Mr.. Brodrick.
TO INCREASE MEN'SPAY
MAJOR ARTHUR LEE MAKES SIG
NIFICANT COMMENTS.
He Would Be Willing to Go Furthey
In Adopting American
Army Methods.
TO INCREASE MEMS PAY

LONDON. March S.-The new army regu-
lations proposed by the war secretary. Mr..
Brodrick. providing for increased pay and
other reforms. which have created much
comment, appear to have been directly
copied from the United States. Major
Arthur Lee, NJ. p, formerly British mill
tary attache at Washington, said to a
representative of the Associated Press:
AT last we have taken out a leaf from
your excellent book, though / do not be-
lieve we have gone quite SO far In that
direction we might, or hope we may.
Under Mr.. Brodrick's proposed changes a
private In the British infantry now receives
almost much a private in the United
States army. With this change. which
frequently advocated while military at
tache at Washington. we hope to get
class Of recruits similar to those secured
in America. Under the old pay We were
gradually lowering the physical standard,
yet still finding it hard to get men, While
our desertion percentage was increasing at
a rate which showed there was something
radically wrong with the system.
American Army Model.
"The American army was the only other
voluntarily enlisted body in the world with
which we could make serviceable COMPARE
sons the continental armies. owing to con-
scription and other causes, being perfectly
worthless as examples.
"A year ago Mr.. Brodrick pooh-poohed the
idea of copying the United States. Now
he has changed his mind and has done what
the majority of the members OF the mouse,
regardlesS of party. believe to be the very
best thing that could have happened to the
army since Mr.. Cardwell tn 1872 effected
his sweeping reforms. For the first time
Tommy with everything found and higher
pay, will be in a better position than his
agricultural brother, and from that class
we ought now to get the best instead OF
the worst. Yes, it may hurt the agrlcui-
tural interests, or what is left OF IT III Eng
land but, do not believe that this damage
will be as serious the evils which the
change will correct. Not only is II inter-
esting to note the influence of the Ameri.
can system in these sweeping changes. but
they will have a tremendous negative i'm.
portance.
Fear of Resort to CONSUMPTION.
Last year the government clearly indi-
Gated it's fears that it might have to resort
to conscription. The present move BAN
ishes all possibility of this, for understand
Mr.. Brodrick is willing to go even further
in copying the United States excellent
treatment Of enlisted men, and by liberal
finance build up the standard of the army,
The increase in pay me ans an additional
annual cost of about t2 100000, but main
tain that 1t will be direct saving OF
money, for the better Class of men secured
will mean fewer men in the hospitals and
prisons, as well as obviating other forms OF
wastage, and will quickly make up for the
additional initial outlay. Some day, per-
haps we may be able to adopt the sensible
listed men Of all arms at the same rate.
But traditions here die hard"
