LONDON. Aug. 25.-The question OF
how best TO utilize some portion Of
the two years which every Frenchman
has TO spend in the army Ia teaching
him something which viii be useful to
him in after life. has been for some
time occupying the attention OF the
French minister Of war.
In a circular addressed TO the military
governors Of Paris and Lyons and the
commanders of all army corps. NJ.
Etlenne sets out his views on the sub
ject at length. He recognizes that
during the first six months Of service
with the cOlors. young soldiers should
be taught soldering, and that they
should not be asked 10 give up any
time to other lessons. He IS also Of
the opinion that technical instruction
can only follow general lines. and that
men cannot be taught the details Of
a score of different trades in the few
months they are in the army. even If
accommodation for the purpose could be
found in barracks.
He says that men who have TO work
for their living are IN most cases. when
they Join the army, already fairly skull

leaving; and that therefore. all that IS
necessary Is 10 keep up their interest.
