AUSTRALIA'S NEW ARMY.
NEED FOR OFFICERS. Ik* view of the necessity of procuring as many trained officers as possible for Australia's new army, the military authorities *»re communicating not only with all officers holding commissions in the citizen forces, but also with officers in the senior cadets and all officers on the unattached list or on the reserve. Circulars are being sent out to these men by each State commandant, and replies are demanded within seven days. Three questions that are \ asked are as follows :— Are you prepared to volunteer for active service outside Australia at once? £tg you prepared to volunteer for active service at a later date? If you are nob prepared to volunteer, state the reason why? The authorities are hoping to fill all the many vacancies for junior officers from among men in the ranks, who will take the usual course of instruction at camp schools, and qualify for commissions. However urgent the need, it is not intended that the standard of efficiency shall be lowered.
