THE RED ARMY
TROUBLES OF RESERVE OFFICERS (Rec. February 22, 7.5 p.m.) London, February 21. The “Dailv Mail’s” Riga correspondent reports’ that two thousand reserve officers of the Red Army, resenting their unemployability in nationalised. industries, are demanding active service. The Commissar, M. Lnschlicht, promises them a 10 per cent, increase of wages in some service he advocates in order to raise the low army morale and to resuscitate the system of ranking officers to enable them to exact respect from the troops. All officers hitherto entitled to be commanders are distinguished bv small insignia, rendering it difficult to differentiate between generals and sergeants.—Sydney “Sun Cable.
