ARMY Of ROCKIES IN
CAMP AT ALDERSHOT
correspondence of the Associated Press.

ALDERSHOT. September 16.-Lieut
Gen. Sir Archibald Hunter is in charge
of 100000 Aldershot rockies" nine
tenths of whom never handled a gun.
When this army goes to the continent,

In ordinary time of peace 10000 men

TENTS" although long rows of wooden
huts are already under construction
and will be completed before this army
or any part of it leaves Aldershot, and
then, If the war lasts, at least 100000
men more will take its place
The camps at Aldershot spread over
the plains th1 oughout an area at least
hve miles square. Almost every branch
of service is represented, even the Ayt-
alton Corps. forty biplanes and mono
planes being in the service at north
camp. In London the cry is for more
recruits At Aldershot the cry is for
more non-commissioned officers to act
as drillmasters. Even those on pension
are receiving regular pay as we'll as
their pension II they will help train the
recruits. There are often 200 new men
under one ''non-com," and the commits
stoned officers apparently do not take
any personal part in the drilling of
recruits.
All Well Cared For.
The recruits at Aldershot are COM
fortably housed and well fed, whatever
complaints to the contrary may appear
In London papers. Each man receives
three-quarters of pound of beef daily
and Of ten men who were personally
asked about the commissary by the
writer every man cordially stated that
he was perfectly satisfied with what he
had to eat.
The only disappointed ones in evil
dence were those who were being sent
away. In the rush of enlistment many
were taken on with rather superficial
examination and are now being weeded
out. For example, an officer with 200
men from Glasgow came to London on
the same train with the writer. The
men had all failed on eye tests, and
the officers assignment was to pilot
the Scotchmen to London and to get
them aboard a train for Scotland-not
an altogether easy job. 1t was jokingly
explained that the Scotch surgeons re-
ceived half a crown for every man
they passed for enlistment.
The recruits are earnest and are
worked very hard. One basic principle
of the training seems to be the order
that every man shah walk at least ff-
teen miles daily. Since large pro-
portion of the recruits come from Of
fees and other indoor employment, this
alone is a weary process. Very few
of the men have any desire to kick
about the foot balls which are provided
for recreation and the six moving pic
ture shows. or "cinemas' as they are
called here. are not all crowded. The
pubs close in Aldershot at each
evening and by 9 o'clock the town is
as quiet as any rural village.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 1S.-What will
England do with the German colonies
If she captures them? Does England
want more possessions? Could Eng
land administer German, African colo
nies more successfully than Germany
has? o.
These questions have been propound-
ed and answered in the English press
since the war extended from Europe
to Africa and the South Seas Some
writer's have stated the German colo
nfes are practically worthless and take
the position that Great Britain needs
no more territory, especially such as
semi-arid German Southwest Africa.
AS the missing link in the Cape-to-
Cairo railroad German East Africa
seems to be regarded more favorably
anti-expansionists. Because Of its
great strategic value Samoa is looked
upon as territory worth having. but
the Kameruns and the German Kongo
are in less favor.

Thousands of those who are now raw

Commenting on reports showing that
Germany has not done we'll with its
African colonies, Mr.. Tilby says the
failure of Germany to get sufficient
colonists into Africa to make the de-
'velopment Of it's extensive territory
possible is not unlike the first expert

believes England would never have
