NEW RESERVE REGIMENTS

As Astounding Stobv.

The enrolment of the new reserve regments has proved that oar soldier* possess many merits that; have not been saepecbed, even in these days, when '* M>, Atkins" it so; much prai&ed — and so. much needed. The men ot one of thm new regiments were ordered to join ad » . certain camp, and on the -appointed d»y over a thousand of them presented them* aelves. A f e.w day* later a retired officer, whom we will call Captain Smith .receive* orders to join at once. He went to the camp, and saw, standing at the door of a hnt, a man who waß not in uniform, uniforms not having yet arrived. The following dialogue ensued: — Capfcain (in mufti) - Where shall I find thefcommanding o nicer 1 Man (carelessly) — There ain't no commanding officer here, Bir. There ain't no bloom'm' officers at all.

I C.—What do you mean ? f M.—Well eleven hundred of ns have I been here a week, and we ain't seen no officers yet O._Well, I am Oaptoin Smith, and hare just been appointed to the regiment. M.~(assnmlmg the pose required by military etiquette) — Then, sir, you're commanding officer, for you're the first officer as we've seen. O — What are yon doing here ? M.—rWell, sir, I'm canteen sergeant. O.—-Canteen sergeant. Who appointed yonj ML— No one, Bir, but I was eanteaa sergeant in my last; regiment,so I thought I would just set things » going right till further orders. O — Good, Keep on for the preaent. Where is the orderly room. Captain Smith finds another man at the orderly room door. C—Ko officers have Joined yet. Second M (taking pipe out of his month) No, sir; we ain't got no officers yet.

C.—Well, lam captain in this regiment. What are you doing here Second M (saluting)—l'm acting order ly sergeant, sir. I was orderly sergeant in my old tf giment,and thought some one had better get thiogs into order till the officers came.

O.—-Very good. Keep .on until the commanding officer arrives. But what have the men done without officers.

Second M.—Well, sir, they've settled down pretty comfortably .They are a steady lot, and they have taken the orders of us as had been sergents ard attended to them almost as if we had been officers.

And so it was. These hundreds of men had sorted themselves out and settled down comfortably, and, respecting those who had been non commlsioned officers,

bad conducted themselves, while awaiting their superiors, with a disclpine ■ and steadiness which filled Captain Smith with some misgivings as to whether he m his capacity of commissioned officer, was not a costly superfluity. Other officers, arms, and uniforms presently followed Captain Smith, and everything Is now in perfect order. Everybody is delighted with the fme physique of these veteran soldiers, and their conduct Is a surprise to their officers, there being pruetk* ly no "crime/ As only retired officers of a certain standing are appointed to these regiments, (here are few, if any,officers in them below the rank of captain. The Queen may Indeed congratulate herself on having tapped a new source of the very beat material of national defence, and we

owe her a debt of gratitude and more.-* "St James Gsßette."

The Reservists Grievance

The officers called back to regimental employment from the Reserve have • grievance, which M»jor Hermon Hodge, M P bai been engaged for some weeks past in bringing to the notice of the War Office. There axe two classes of Reserve officers, let it be understood First, those who have a retired gratuity of from £1,200 to £2,000, according to length of service ap to twenty years and secondly, those who have retired on a pension of varying amount according to length of service, of over twenty years It may reasonably be considered that the officerß who retired on a gratuity received a capitalised pension. Officers in this category recalled for duty receive very properly, the Army pay of any appointment, regimental or otherwise the dutke of which they are ordered to perform, without deductions being made. Not so officers wbo have retired on a pension after twenty years service They are docked the whole of such pen sion, not a part of it, like those holding civil employment under the Government. To take a case. A major who hag retired on a pension of £200 a year loses his pension, but receives 16a a day pay or £292 a year. The Government thug gets hisservices for £92 a year.regwrdlewi of the expense to which he.will be put if, ts is most probable, he is •married man with a family and fixed abode. The case of an officer who has longer serf ice and is in receipt of £250 a year is ewn harder, for his services will ooit the Government £42 a year only, and so on Ihe officer who haj received his gratuity of £2,000 draws the same amount of pay £2 92 a year, in addition to the interest on his £2000. He is thus in a better position than one who with longer ser vice has been awarded a pension of £200. This Major Hermon Hodge holds to be wrong.
