Women Replace Men as Servants in London -- Automobiles Rather Than Trains, Carry First Class Passengers. London, Felr 1.--The weakness of the: British army, alike as regards numbers and organization, is being criticized both from the Japanese and French standpoints. Japan evidently, is the most concerned, for if report be true, Gen. Terauchi, minister of war, intends, in view of the Anglo-Japan- ese alliance, to urge upon Great Brit ian the necessity of army re-organiza- tion. The Standard publishes a criti- cism of British army methods hy an officer of the French army staff, who writes : "If renouncing once and forever all idea of an aggressive policy on land, Great Britain concen rates her efforts on the re-organization of: her military forces on a purely defensive basis, her flats or hotels to the care of a larpe house and servants.

Her units, small as they are, are under-officered. The deficit in the commissioned ranks in the home and colonial forces has been been put as high as 10,000 officers. But that is not all. Numerical weak ness is not counterbalanced by super- ior efficiency of the officers serving. The varioys services -are insufficientiv. organized, especially the medical | branch, and the reserves of all kinds appear to be inadequate. Certainly the latter is a mere question of monew but whoever wants an army must be prepared to pay the price. The gov ernment--will he well advised if, after coming to.a final decision. based on the recommendation of its many councillors, it confides the task of definitely reforming the army to some giving him what time he wants for the work.
