The Toronto Giobe says: Instruc- tiong have been [ssued from Ottawa as to the kind of .men that should take the course of training for an officer at thé Royal School of Artil- lery at Kingston. A great number of the men attending this school have béen those drawn from militia artil- lery units, and who have had no mili- tary experience, It has been found thai these men, when taking a course along with men chosen from C. E. Fe artillery units, hold back the classes and do not make as good candidates as the others. Consequently it is deemed advisable by Ottawa that militia -offigers should not be encour- aged to atfend the 'courses, but rather should be encouraged to join the ranks, of a C. E, FP. uhit, attend the hoo] and take their commission, and go overseas as privates with their qualifications in their pockets, It is pointed out that promotion is more rapid at the front; while even if a militia officer does qualify here, he has great difficulty in getting an} letin service the appointment, In the official account of the rea- son for his being granted a military cross the following is reported: Lieut.
