perfect, but problems of many kinds
began to develop in practice. First in
time of need it was seen that COM
pleted and trained division could not
lie idle but invitably would be drawn
into the cmbat troops, thus destroying
the essential replacement reserve.
Then came a question of personel
and morals. A very high per cent
age of wounded soon are able to re-
turn to the front but, under the pro
posed system when they were dis
charged from hospital their original
units were filled and they were sent
to strange commands. Inthis way the
spirit and loyalty that is developed
in each division, making 1t coherant
body with characteristics all its own.
were threatened Offisers and men
returning from hospital were sent in
to the Replacement Division and
then might go where chance sent
them, into new regiments and new di-
visions, even into new corps.
The military authorities soon saw
this was destructive of morals and
were then iaod with an alternate
i've system
A recently issued order prvids fora
Replacement Battalion" for each
corps. This is to be under command
of the corps commander, its strength
is not fixed but will vary as circum-
stances require and has only a small
permanent personnel. AS wounded
officers and men of elias A are eva
cuated from hospital they go to the
Replacement Battalion of their origi-
nal division and eventually find their
way back home to their army family
Only when division commanders
requisition exceeds the number OF
men of proper grade and arm origi-
nally belonging to his division do
new men find their way in.
The plan has been worked out after
careful analysis of British and
French casualties with aview of de-
termining what percentage of cas-
ualties are evacuated from hospital
an class A, that is, man able to re-
turn to combat troops, and the army
authorities believe that for the pres
ent at least it will met the situation
that bod arisen. 1t tends to perpet-
uate the unit personnel as far as pos
sible and there also are provisions

to a certain extent filled by promo

One of the best ways to meet the
scarcity of labor is to enforce the
work or fight laws of the state in
this community. There is hardly
any excuse for an idle man on any
side of town now. 1t is time for all
of them to be at work and if the idle
labor were put to it, we might not
miss-that which has been taken from
us. Let us see how many can be put
to work.
