chimes at Is per cent below the price you
have quoted You can have the order on
those terms.
A particularly despicable form of hon
est graft is being practiced on the young
British officers who have just received
their commissions, and who have to buy
their own kit from an allowance given
them for that purpose by the war office.
Most of the young men who are receiv-
ing commissions now are from the middle
class, and are not men of any wealth.
The dealers in kit and equipment have
sent the prices szy-high One of the most
glaring instances of this was the case
of the service pattern revolver This
weapon in ordinary times costs about $40,
and is made by only two or three firms.
After the war broke out the prices of the
service pattern revolver suddenly jumped
to $25 and even more. 1t was clearly a
case of squeeze, for there seemed to be
an ample supply of the weapons when a
man was able to produce the price. How
serious this was is shown by the story
told in London Truth a couple of weeks
ago, of young officer who could not af-
ford to pay the price asked and provided
himself with an equally efficient weapon
not of the regulation pattern He was
taken prisoner by the Germans who, find
ing this irregular weapon on him, shot
him as a franc tireur.
Another part of the officers equipment
which has gone sky-high in price. but
in this case with reason, is the sword.
Before the war there WAS only one sword
cutler in England, and the great major
ity of the swords worn by British Off
GERS had been made in Germany. The old
English sword makers had been driven
out of business by the Solingen firms. and
there was real shortage. number of
Sheffield firms turned to at once and be-
gan to make swords. but they have not
yet caught up with the demand. and
many an officer is carrying a precious
heirloom which belonged to an ancestor,
or sword borrowed from some retired
military friend. More difficult still is the
lot of officers of those regiments which
carry a special type of weapon. / met a
young friend the other day who had just
received commission in the Gordon
Highlanders. He looked very fine in his
kit and complimented him on his APP
