HOW BIG ARMIES WERE CREATED BY GREAT BRITAIN

within the first year of the war the
Oxford university o. T. C. provided
over 1890, three of the smaller north
| ern universities O. T. C.'s over 1000
and the Inns of Court o. T. C.'s over
$500. 1t was found necessary to give
| temporary commissions even to univer,
| sity graduates and the senior boys in
public schools. Practically all pupils OF
the public schools applied for commits
sions as soon as they reached the age
| limit. Excellent material for juniOx
officers was found among the young
men who had gone to the colonies or
foreign countries to take up a life OF
adventure. No young men made better
officers than these, for all had taken
some risks; they had been on their own
responsibility. and generally had men
under them and experienced dangers
by flood and field. The supply of Off
GERS for a technical corps proved sur
prisingly adequate, the war office Sc
leeting according TO the recommended
lions of the heads of the correspond
ing civil professions. In addition TO
these the war office has obtained a
large staff of specialists for work with
the troops, e. G., psychologists, oph
thalmolOgists. aurists, radiOlogists, der
matologists, experts in tropical dis
eases, etc.
For all practical purposes. most OF
the infantry subalterns of the new ar
mics had to train themselves during the
first five months of the war as best
they could in the intervals of training
their men. If the officers were I'M
trained, the noncommissiOned officers
of the new armies were In the main
even less trained. This. presented a
marked contrast to the really good SER
gled humOr and severity, putting a
squad of recruits through their PAGES.
the type of Kipling's Private Mulvaney.
There was some compensation for this.
however; the fact that the necessity OF
doing the noncommissioned officers job
as well as their own gave the officers
greater proficiency and better under
standing of their men.
An experienced British general writ
ing on the training Of some of these
new divisions, said that mass of
civilians had been transformed in less
than eight months into an army which
had more practical training for war
than it had ever been possible to give
to troops in England before. There was,
he added, feeling of confidence in all
ranks, due partly to the organizing
power of short-handed staff, but
chiefly to the keenness of all ranks to
make themselves fit for the front. The
experiences here recorded are highly
suggestive of our own experiences anda
they indicate the methods we shall
have to follow in creating armies to
meet our regular requirements.

NO FAv0RlTISM IN DRAFT
Allows No Latitude to Registra-
tion Officials.


Washington.-A statement has been
issued from the Office of tine provost
marshal general of the United States
army as follows:
The attention of the war department
has been called TO the fact that fear
exists in some parts of the country
that some members of the county and
city registration boards may be infiu-
enced by personal considerations to
discriminate between young men who
are liable for service, and to make
friendship or some other consideration
moving factor in the selection OF
soldiers for the new army.
There is no ground for such fear.
The law is specific and allows no lati-
tude to the officials either in the mat
ter of registration or in the later mat
ter of exemption from service. In
fact, the law is self-executing. Every
man within the age limits fixed by
the selective-service act must register,
and the penalty OF the law for evasion
of registration will fall, not only on
the man who fails to appear, but on
any member of a registration board
who may be shown to be in collision
with the person who attempts to es-
cape his duty.
Further than this, the registration
boards never VIII act as exemption
boards except in certain specific cases
as where young man who has reg
istered shall claim to be employed In
federal state or local Office, and
thereby does come within the exemp-
tion clause of the statute. In case
like this the facts must be entered
officially and attested.
The law provides the penalty of i'm
prisonment with no alternative of a
fine for any official or any registered
man who shall make q false return or
cOnnive at such a practice. The safe
guards against fayoritism or evasion
are ample.
The response to the governments
appeal for volunteer service has been
so prompt and general in its distri-
button that it is assured that In virtu-
ally all the districts there will be of
ficials whose sole moving purpose is
the patriotic one of seeing to il that
the duties of the Office are performed
in strict accordance with the require
ments of the law.
So far as the other reasons for ex,
emptions under the law are concerned,
exemptions for men engaged in pur-
suits in which their work is more val
liable at home than in the service, the
authority win lie with board of high
or jurisdiction. Those who fear that
determinations will be made on
grounds of personal friendship or. on
other grounds may be assured that ev-
cry precaution will be taken TO make
il certain that the registration will he
conducted with exact justice and that
the democracy of the law will dwell
in IT'S spirit as in its letter.
