War Office Red Tape.

T>?ckent.'d Circumlocution Office, says a, Rome paper, never produced a mote delightful absurdity thau a document wo print below. A rat damages a nv»n's kit j m a regiment m Ceylon ; a court of : p.r. qairy is solemnly held ; the owner of the kit is examined, and his evidence is corroborated ; there is no appearance for the rat. and the Court finds th>c the dam age, estfm ited ab one shillinj?, was not due lo eareleasnef a and ought to bo charged to the public. Thto document, signed by tha msmbera of th« Court, was no doubt passed thrown the Ac jut ant, tho Colonc-l, the D. i.A.G.. the Brigadier-General, and so on to tho War Office m London, where it would be passed through from the two or three divisions of the military to as many divisions of the financial department, and perhaps have togotoihe treasury after all. Wo wonder how much this shilling cost the country m paper, ink, postage, and time employed. v Proceedingfl of a Board assembled at (Ceylon), on April 25bh, 18-, by order of Lieutenant-Colonel A— B , com manding 2nd Boyal regiment, for the purpose of investigating and report ing upon the cause and extent of damage done to one serge frock and one pair s^rge trousers, belonging to No. 2375, Lance- Corporal C D . President, Cap. tain B F : Members, Lieutenant. G H ; 2nd Lieutenant J — -K ,m attendance. The Board having assembled pursuant to order, proceeded to take evidence. *' First evidence :— No. 2373, Lance- Corporal O D states :— 'At Col ombo, on April 17th. 18 ■-, I took down my kit from the shelf, m order to air it. On examining the kit I found my serge frock and serge trousers damaged by be ing eaten by a rat. The rat jumped off the shelf while I was taking down my kit. Two days before I had taken my kit down, and it was then all right. I reported the damage., "Second evidence :— No* 3076, Lance- Corporal L M states : * About last Tuesday week I saw Lancfl-Corporal 0 D taking his kit down from the shelf. He drew my attention to the foot that the rats had been gnawing his serge frock and trousers Things of mine have been damaged by the rats.' The serge coat and serge trousers are produced before the board. »' Third evidence :— Captiln and Quar termaster H (> states: *Ifc will cost about one shilling (1b) to repair the serge coat and trousers. ' Opinion. *'The Board having carefully con sidered the evidence, and examined the serge frock and trousers, is of opinion that they are damaged by rato, throngh no carelessness on the part of Ho. 2373, Lance-Corporal C D ; that the damage was unavoidable ; that the damaged articles are repairable ; and that the expense for repairing — viz., about Is — should be charged to the public.
