TERRITORIAL ARMY
TENURE OF APPOINTMENT REDUCED TO THREE YEARS (British Official Wireless; RUGBY, Oct. 13. (Received Oct. 14, at 5.5 p.m.) An army order issued to-day deeds with the application to the territorial arn.y of certain of the new measures recently introduced to improve the conditions of the commissioned service in the regular army. The circumstances differ materially in the two forces, and reduced ages have been fixed for the regiment, this being introduced to stimulate promotion and a regular flow of intake, and the wastage in the regular army will not, efore, generaly apply to the territorial army. The system of time promotion to the ranks of captain and major is also not appropriate. The normal tenure of territorial army appointments will be reduced in line with the regular army from fouu years to three, bu* to maintain a practice of proved value in the past in the case of the territorial army appointments, extensions will still be permitted. New rates of pay, with effect from November 1, are also announced.
