The Daily Mail’&Riga correspondent reports that 2000 reserve officers of the Red Army, resenting their lack of employment in nationalised industries,’ are demanding active -service. Commissar Unschlicht promises them a 10 per cent, increase in wages in some services. He advocates, in order to raise the low army morale the resuscitation of the system of ranking officers to enable them to exact- respect from troops. All officers hitherto entitled to be commanders are disinguished by a small insignia * rendering it difficult to differentiate between generals and sergeants.
