OFFICERS FOR VOLUNTEER TRAINING CORPS. [To rss Sono: or ran
"Srsernma"l Sra,—Volunteer Corps have been singularly successful in their commanding officers. A large number of old Army officers and ex-Territorials have identified themselves with the movement, and it is largely due to their enthusiasm that it has met with such immediate success. But there are still a number of corps scattered about the country who have no officers of standing to command them, though they may not be without some junior officer to carry on the detailed training of the corps.
I know you have amongst your readers a considerable number of men connected with the Service, and I should be grateful if any old soldier or Territorial officer who is pre. pared to give his spare time to commanding a Volunteer Training Corps would communicate with me. I have two corps in mind, within tram or 'bus journey from the centre of London, who would like officers of standing to command their corps. The Senior Service is not excluded, as more than one corps has an ex-naval officer at its head. Com- =lincations should be addressed as below to yours, dm,

[We feel sure that there must be many officers of standing among our readers who would be fitted to undertake the work of commanding Volunteer nits. We are also sure that experience of the work would soon make it a pleasure aa well as a duty, so keen, so anxious to learn, and so inspired with a sense of loyalty are the rank-and-file of the Volunteers. We can guarantee that the discipline question will present no difficulties. The menrejoice in strict discipline, and want no coddling and no flattery. The more strictly they are handled, the more nearly they feel they are approaching their goal of becoming tree soldiers.—En. Spectator.]
