METHODS OF ENGLISH WAR

RECRUITS SHIVER
lRv Associated Press. J

London, Oct. 15.-Signs of dissat-
isfaction at war office methods are
| beginning to appear in the British
press, involving the historic charges
of red tape and incompetency As IN
example of cut and dried regulations
standing in the way OF common
sense, one correspondent, who hal
read of the shivering recruits, com
plains that gift of blankets was re-
fused because the size fell a few
inches short of the prescribed. But
wider discomfort or mistrust is
caused by the fact that the war o.
flee devotes its energies to work that
in view of the crisis, should propec-
ly go to civilian organizations.
The task of looking after the forces
in France, transferring colonial
troops and getting up supplies means
heavy tax on the war office or
ganiZation. The training of terri-i
torials, or militia, who are now in.
encampments, is an additional ou:-
den. But to assume on the top Fl
this the entire work OF recruit ig
Lord Kitchener's new army OF a
million, billeting and feeding them,
besides the inspection of supplies, is
regarded by some of the critics rs a
useless diversion of energy.
THE country is honeycombed with
administrative machinery, public an
private" says one writer, and it is
needless to improyise or expand war
office arrangements to do work viii IN
civilians can do efficiently. The
state does not attempt to impro Use
railway or shipping organization. it
simply co-ordinates and uses the
civilian machinery and capacities
which exist.
Local administrative officers, the
writer adds, could well take charge
of raising the quota of troops for
each district and arrange for their
camps and provisioning. Local mel
ical men might also physically ey-
anime applicants who are now sent
from the country on long train
journeys to military stations. Local
doctors, 1t is assumed, ought to be
capable of judging the fitness Of
teeth, eyesight and vital organs.
The advantage of cooperation re-
tween the war office and civilials
and civil authorities would be the
freeing OF large force of officers |
and men for purely military work.
Recruits, according to some of the
