Major Norton de Mattos, the Port
uguese minister of war, has gone TO
France to visit the Portuguese troops
serving there. After visiting the
French front, he intends to 60 to
London for conferences concerning
Portugal's active participation in the
war. His post is filled during his abb
sence by DIR. Alfonso Costa, premier
and minister Of finance.
The letters published in the Portu-
guese press from soldiers to their
families are all most significant, and
sull of courage and faith in the VIC
)r1 of the Entente IAllies. In let
-r received here from an English
officer, whose residence is in Lisbon
and who is now acting as Interpreter
with the Portuguese troops, the fol-
lowing words occur:
~ have been several times to the
front with Portuguese troops, sent
there with English for practice, so
that they may be trained IN the
methods of war. I am glad to be able
to say that the Portuguese soldiers
are not 'funks' and all that is neces-
sary is strict discipline and organi-
cation"
According to the military conven-
ton between the English and Por-
tuguese governments, fixed number
of troops will be sent out every
month. A decree has just been pub
lished calling upon all classes with
a certain degree of education between
20 and 45 years of age to attend
military schools for eight hours day
during three months.
