ARMY AND VOLUNTEERS. VOLUNTEER CYCLISTS:) uherto a- sp^jial capitation grant of £ 2 per a.nnum ha, been paid for each efficient cyclist of a cyclist company of a Volunteer corps; but fcr the oi.umg ye-kr this allowance is to be reduced by one la.if. If the War Office were dealing with the cycli,, -)n)p,,tny of a Milit"a regimtnt such a. proceeding, mId be more or less intelligible, as the bicycles would only be used in the service of the Goverc.tit for a very limited period in eac h -year; but the Volun- teers the matter is quite a different one, as the bicycles are in use fcr nearly tie whole year- ccrtainly for more than eight mon-hs ef it.

In spite of all the recent outcry against such a 4titte of things we are at the present moment entering on one of those periods when the Tieasury I", shrieking for economy and the Secietary of State is giving way.
