War Officer's Plans Are Very Sharply Criticised--New De- partment of Director General Objected to. London, May 1S.--Intenso excite ment has been created among- volun: teers by the statemont that large re- duetions of the volunteer, militia and yeomanry branches of the auxiliary forces of the army are in contempla- tion. ; Despite reassuring contradictions, there is a eral disposition to re- gard the report, as having a certain basis of fact. The hope is expressed by service of M.P's and by represen- tative members of the volunteer force that the statement is at least exag- gerated, but the fear is widely heid that Mr. Arnold-Foster and his ad- visers contemplate a wholesale sup- pression of volunteers, militia and Yeomanry, preparatory to the intro- duction of a modified scheme of com- pulsory service. The service members, and especially those of them whose concern is with the volunteers, militia and yeomanry, are genuinely alarmed at the pros- pect. They profess to see in the new war office reorganization scheme the prospect of a great blow being deliv- ered at the volunteers, which may re- sult in a dissolution of Great Brit- ain's citizen army. In their criticisms of the trend of policy at the war office they urge spe cial objection to retention of the auxiliary forces under the adjutant- eu. als control. : They state that the new department of the director general of auxiliary forces is nothing more than a branck of the war office for the performance of clerical labor, and that under its constitucion the auxiliary forces are likely to fail in the eves of the na tion for want of adequate depart- mental organization. The members hold that the future of the auxiliaries hangs upcn the creation of a separate administrative office. Without this independent or- 0 ganization, they say, the forees are doomed. Sir C. Howard Vincent, M.P., who was for many vears é&olonel of the Queen's Westminsters, champions the cause of the fashion. In said : "Four years have clapsed since the auxiliary forces saved the nation in South Africa. Instead of things be ing better for them, they have be- come worse. The govirnment led us to believe that the auxiliary forces were at lust to have sympathetic treatment and proper organization Mr. Arnold-Forster himseld said at Liverpool that it was nunpossibl> think that we could not get enormous value out of the 250,000 young men available. "The war office also stated that, pending the report of the royal com mission on the militia and volunteers, the branch of the inspector general of auxiliary forces was to be considered & detached department, reporting di- rect to the army council. This has all been upset, and the department, representing 350,000 men, is now ab- sorbed by the adjutant general, ana forms one of the twenty-eight branch es dealing with 200 other subjects. "For forty years concessions to the volunteers have only beem wrung at the point of the bayonet; adjutant: generals have regarded ilie aaxiliaries through™ regulars' eyes. What we want is proper organization under of- ficers who understand the conditions of the service. "It is true," volunteers in vigorous an interview to-day he added Sir Howard Vincent, "that a new director of euxiliary forces has been appointed, but the only executive duties he has to perform are of a routine character, and are quiescent for a portion of the vear. He has no real authority under the new scheme. "The adjutent-general's branches, have repeatedly interfered with the auxiliary i« 3 In 191 the new camping regulations were approved, printed, and issued. and the first in timation of them that the inspector general had was from the newspapers, "From these ill-advised regulations has sprung all the trouble of the past few years. 1 can undertake to say that out of the whole force not a dozen men will be found to take an- other view. . 'At a meeting of the Council of the Institute oi Commanding Officers, held on April 20th, with Lord Clifford pre siding, the proposal to make the de- partment of the auxiliary forces part of the adjufant-general's branch whs condemned, and a separate branch di rectly under the army council was stated .to be essential." Sir Howard Vincent, in support of his contention for adequate organiza- tion for the volunteers as a national defence force, asserted that the Queen's Westminsters are an example of how battalions ¢an be mai: com plete in themselves to a hoot lace and ready for-mobilization within twenty four hours. He drew attention to the {act that the Esher committee, in its report, declared that the parliamentary un der-secretary had littl to do. Sir Howard Vincent su od that this minister should be given the srions work of orgenizing a national ariny of defence. 8. e------ A woman swindler is' going about the country pretending to be a can vasser for a monthly paper which giving a set of dishes with every bi] subscription.
