The Indian Army.

LORD KITCHENER’S ORDERS. Aa a result of studies on the spot, General Lord Kitchener, Com-mander-in-Chief in India, has issued an important order embodying his conclusions regarding the Indian army. He says as the army is small, there is greater, need for a higher standard of excellence than obtains elsewhere. Modern conditions having vastly changed, Lord Kitchener- proposes to abolish garrison classes, and make all officers acquire their military education with regiments of importance, thoroughly trained and educated. The general staff, says Lord Kitchener, has never heretofore fully realised the distribution of troops, and commands have grown up without plan or method. He hopes the impending establishment of a staff college will ensure the selection of the best young officers by Officers Commanding Districts. The General insists upon the importance of individual training.
