The Men Over Forty. OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS. The Minister of National Service has issued very precise instructions regardng the medi- cal examination of men over 40, and the aurangem/ents to be made for dressing, etc. They must be examined separately from the younger recruits, and strictest attention must be givien to privacy, while if any man requests an examination in private his re- quest must be complied with wherever possi- ble. Each man pnesentng himself must be provided with a separate cubicle for dressing and undressing, while special attention must be gven to heating and ventilation of exam- ination and dressing rooms. Medical certi- ficates presented by these men must recedve the most careful consideration, and in special cases the examination may be deferred in order to secure the attendance of the medical man who has given the certificate, should the Board consider it necessary. FOUR GRADES. The present standards of grading are to be observed. Grade I.-Tlie older men will be placed in Grade 1. if they possess the full normal physi- cal fitness to be expected of their age. Such men must not have any serious physical de- fect, and must not suffer from progressive organic disease. They must be able to endure physical (exertion involving a considerable degree of strain and to undergo gradual -physical training in order to fit them for military duty; The physical trainng for the older men in this Grade will be carried out undier special medical supervision. Grade II.—The men fit for Grade II. will possess the normal physical fitness of their age. They must not suffer from progressive organic disuse, and the physical defects which prevent such mon from being placed in the higher grade must not be of such a nature as to diminish seriously their physical actvity. They must b- able to undergo a 'dc considerable degree of physical exertion of a nature not involving severe strain. Grade III.—In Grady" III. will be placed older men with marked physical disabilities or who show evidence of disease which is not active nor of a progressive character at the time of examination. Although not fit to undergo military training they may be called upon to perform duty in military establish- ments under conditions approximating to their home life and surroundings. Grade IV.—In Grade IV. will be placed those older men whose physical disabilities, owing to defects or progressive disease, are of such a nature as to. render them totally and permanently unfit for any form of mili- tary service. WHERE THEY WILL SERVE. Subject to military exigencies, the corps t.i which the War Office propose to post the older men are as folloivs:- (a) Combatant Service; Home Defence In- fantry and garrison battalions at home and abroad; Royal Field Artillery, and Royal Garrison Artillery at home. (b) Auxiliary services at home and abroad such as: Royal Army Mjedical Corps, Army Service Corps, e.g., Motor and liaise Trans- port, Remounts, Supplies, etc., Army Ord- nance Corps, Army Veterinary Corps, Inland Water Transport and Dock, Railway Troops, Roads and Quarries. State Purchase of Drink. The reports of the English, Scottish, and Irish Committees on State purchase and con- trol of tho liquor traffic were issued on Friday. The cost of purchasing breweries, licensed houses, distilleries, and other interests is est- mated at over 400 million pounds, but sub- stantially less than 500 millions. Of this total the cost to England and Wales would be about k35a,000,000, and Scotland about £ 61,000,000. The Irish Com- mittee could give no definite figures. The three Committees ane agreed upon the interests—excluding wholesale dealers-- to be included or excluded from the scheme of pur- chase. Allied trades, generally speaking, will be excluded as well as a large proportion of hotels, clubs, railway refreshment-rooms, and passenger vessels and theatre bars. The Committee agrees that the export trade should be acquired. As regards the form of payment, the three Committees agree that it should be made on the basis of pre-war profits at pre-war rates of capitalisation. In the matter of depreciation the English Committee recommiend that the sum arrived at should be written down to the standard of capital values prevailing when the purchase transaction comes to be completed, and that a special G overnment Guaranteed Stock should be issued at a denomination and issue price enabling it to command in the market a cash equivalent to the sum so advanced. The Scottish and Irish Committees reserve the quiestion of the form of payment for the Government's consideration. There is a general agreement as to pro- viding a. normal basis of purchase for s pa"- at interests, with provision for except i mil cases of arbitration. The English Committee suggest that the question of acquiring English distilling and rectifying concerns be left over pending the Scottish and Irish reports, and that the busi- nesses of wholesale dealprs (with special ex- ceptions), maltsters, and allied trades be ex- cluded from the purchase. It is further sug- gested that the State should carry on the acquired properties from a fixed date, the former owners to be paid their pre-war in- come until the completion of the purchase. The Scottish Committee recommend that as regards breweries the basis of purchase should be between seven and nine years' pro- fits, and for distillers betwjeen six and eight years. The Irish Committee suggests 13 years pro- fits over the five years previous to thie war and 12 years' pre-war profits for distilleries. There is also a recommendation that in de- fault of Government purchase of the Irish trade. Irish licenses should be reduqed by ot least one-half, with compensation. With regard to Wales, the Commissioners say: "Since the year 1881 the Sunday Clos- ing Act, which, broadly speaking, provides for the closing on Sunday of all premises in which intoxicating liquors are sold by retail, has been in operation throughout Wales. Inasmuch as our general proposal will apply equally to any variation in the extent of the trade, or the amount of profit consequent on the operation of that particular statute in thie Principality, we do not think that the Welsh case presents any features that call for special consideration or tren tmen t."

Premier's Message. Mr Lloyd George visited the King at Buck- ingham Palace on Saturday. Lord Milner, Secretary for War, who accompanied the Premier to France, was also received by his Majesty. It transpires that after attending mteetings of the Supreme War Council at Versailles, the Prime Minister spent a night with Sir Douglas Haig, and also visited the head- quarters of General Byng and General Raw- linson. He came much in contact with the troops, and they welcomed him with enthu- siastic cheers. Wherever he went he was re- ceived with the greatest enthusiasm by officers and men. The Prime Minister granted an interview to a Press representative on Saturday. Asked about the impressions hie brought away from his recent visit to the armies in France, he said:— "I saw General Foch, Sir Douglas Haig, General Petain, Gieseral Pershisg, General Byng, General Rawlinson, and other officers of the Higher Command, and they were all very confident. I also saw a very large num- ber of regimental officers and soldiers who had been actually in the fighting line during the last six weeks of wry strenuou s work, ad their confidence also was amazing. "I met no pacifists and no pessimists amongst them. They could not in the least understand the wrangles in certain quarters in England which semeed to proceed on the assumption that they had been defeated, and that the only question of importance was as to who was to blame. "Apart from the mishap of the first few days, which they all recognised, they were confident that they were winning, and that they were inflicting great losses on the enemy 'When the -enemy get ground,' they said, 'we make them pay anormous price for it. In these offensives,' they said 'you can always buy land if you are prepared to pay the pur- chase price but the cost for the Germans is gr^at, and it is increasing.' They were cer- tain that the Germans would soon be sorry that they had committed themselves to these attacks, even if they were not already so. That was the general feeling I found amongst all ranks in the British and French armies." '•What about the Americans?" the Press representative asked. "A good number are already there. Many more will pour in steadily during this month. The French who saw their fighting in the battle lower down the line said they were first-class fighting material, full of courage and resource, and all very keen. "This Germans ave rendered at least two great services to the Allied cause. They have accelerated the advent of the- American troops, and they have made unity of com- mand at last a reality. French and British are fighting in close comradeship, each with a full appreciation of the qualities of the other." Have you any message to bring from tho Army to the people?" the representative asked. "The message I bring from the British Army to the people at home is. "Be of good elueer. We are all right. s i.

FRENCH BOY SCOUT HERO. Sir Robert Baden Powell, speaking at the London Guid-hall on Saturday, in referring to the work performed by the French Boy Scouts in the neighbourhood of the fighting line, read a letter found on the body of a dead German. It ran: "A traitor has just been shot—a little French lad, belonging to onie of those gymnastic societies which wear tri-colour ribbons (the Eelaireurs or Boy Scouts, a poor young fellow wh in his infa- tuation wanted to be a hero. The German column was passing along a wooded defile, and he was caught and asked whether the French were about. He refused to give in- formation. Fifty yards further on there was fire from the cover of a wood. The prisoner was asked in French if lie had known that the enemy was in the forest, and he did not deny it. He went with a firm step to a tele- graph post and stood up against it, with the green vineyard at his back, and received the volley of the firing party with a proud smile on his face. Infatuated wretch! It was a pity to see such wasted courage." Was such courage wasted (asked Sir Robert) when it acted as. an inspiration to the great brother- hood of boys?
