He had treated almost all of the
young officers under him as his chill

into their welfare and work. 1t was
the most trying moment of his career.

think that the army would obey the
mandate. The army UP to that time
had never been famous for Its gentle
docility to the wordy orders of the

whole country, the army authorities
have done everything in their power

The first step of the reduction was
