CIVILIAN RECRUITING DEPARTMENT
LORD DERBY'S NEW SYSTEM WELCOMED. London, July 25. The non-spapers comment favourably on Lord Derby's proposal that recruiting should be entrusted to a civilian department. There is a renewal of the belief that medical examinations under the War Office have proved defective, and it is becoming dangerously unpopular. Civilian tribunals have been already largely responsible for the selection of recruits, 60 the reform is less revolutionary than seems at first sight. When the War Cabinet has approved the number of men whom the War Office demands, the civilian bodies will be called on to find the men, medically examine them, and 6end them 1o the depots. The Committee of Medical Examinations had already indicated that it was in favour of entrusting lecruitingto a civilian department, but Lord L'trby dramatically intervened, suggesting the recommendation should bo carried to the farthest limit.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable .Assn.
