This means OF course that even

London, July 2.-The Army Coun-
Gil is being severely criticised for let

Woolwich in order to relieve the SER
ious chortage of officers in the army.
Sandhurst and Woolwich are Eng

examinations have generally been SO
severe that only about 10 percent of
the candidates succeeded in getting
in.

coming daily more unattractive to the
youth of England, and the shortage
Of officers became serious question,
the army council admitted between
two and three hundred candidates to
Sandhurst and Woolwich this year
without competition examination OF
any kind.

army circles, after severely criticising
this action of the council. gives sever
al reasons for the army's unpopular.
