TIRED OF WAR.
Twelve Hundred British Army Officers
Have RESIGNED.

The war office is face to face with a
d!thcult problem, for fully 1900 officers Of
all grades have either rendered their res
ignatlon from the service or have signi-
ned their intention of sending in their pa
perS.
This does not imply that there is a
strike Of officers. It is merely due to the
fact that for nearly three years-sincc
the beginning of the late war in South
Afrlca-none Of the officers Of the regu-
lar army who were physically and men,
tally ut were permitted to resign their
commissions. But even in times Of peace
it is not usual for 400 officers THAT is the
proportion per year in this easel to tire
OF the service yearly, and in many in
stances forfeit well-earned gratuities and
pensions.
The unofficial explanation for the large
number OF retirements is that many
militia and yeomanry officers who in the
ordinary course would have passed into
the army have had quite enough Of ac-
tual soldering to prevent them having
any further desire to shine as disciples
OF Mars, while many other are stated to
be dissatisfied with the chances Of pro-
motion now that period of peace stag
nation is about to set in.
Again, there are many officers in the
higher ranks, from long-service captains
upward, who prefer now to take their
sum. Many of these would probably
have resigned during the past three years
if there had been peace, and it is now
unfortunate for the service that they
should all seek retirement at once.
In the cavalry in particular the .defec-
tons will be keenly felt, for it has been
exceedingly hard to find young officers
with Sufficient means to take commissions
in the mounted regiments.
A good many regular officers who have
been attached to volunteer regiments at
home, and whose five years time has ex-
PRED, have had unasked-for extensions
awarded to them owing to the fact that
there were no officers available to take
their places. It was hoped that the
gradually returning army from South
Africa would be able to supply the neces-
sary reliefs, but in view of the heavy list
Of designations it is likely that the volun-
teer adjutants will find their terms of
service still further extended.
The Duke Of Westminster, it will be
remembered, was one of the few officers
who were allowed to resign during the
war: He sent in his papers when he sue
ceeded to the dukedom. Ex-

Some people used to blame the bankers
for bringing the shin plasters in order
to work the silver dollars out OF circula-
ton but Mr.. Russell said they are
brought into the country mostly by the
eastern people who come west. He told
story about the one and two dollar
bills that may be new TO good many
people.
Nearly all gamblers have a supersti-
ton that aces and deuCes are a Jonah, .
said the assistant cashier. When they
are sitting in n game of poker and draw
q pair of aces and deuces they think their
luck has failed and the fellow on the
other side of the table could run a sue
cessfLI bluff on them with pair Of
trays This superstition about the aces
and deuces applies to the one and two
dollar bills. The gamblers call them
aces and deuces and they think the man
with one in his pocket will certainly have
some bad luck.
Whenever a gambler gets held of one
and two dollar bills he brings them to
the bank and gets other money for them.
