(Ci yrlghted, ISM, by Associated Press) LONDON, Oot. 28,-The large number of lit itlnli nflloers killed lit the battles which have already taken plnee In Nn tul him brought nut strenuous protests from tunny quarters aK-alnwt the anolont custom of Hrltlsh officers In refusing to Hike cover when Under fire, From flgurca nt Olenco It I apparent that one out of every four men killed was an ofllcer, whereon, the org&ntzaton ex ists upon the theory that to every 25 men there li one officer. It li evident thoit If the Biime ratio of mortality In kept up the Hrltlsh fore will become seriously Under-officered. Aiming the enlisted men at OWncoe the proportion of killed to wounded wan 30 tn li'ii. while ten ollleero were killed to 22 wounded. The differences ln the percentage leads to 'the conclUHlon that many of the officer wore lilt more than once and kept on lending their men after the flint wound. Emperor Wllilnm'a recent criticism of tlin rirltlsh oflloera refusal to tnke cover l now frequently quoted, Tho feeling In the' army Itself Is thoit though the regulation do not nay the officers must not lie down, It Ih such an old estab lishment principle that It would take a Inavo man to Inaugurate a change, and the adage of the Hrttlnh soldier "follow wherever an officer lenda," Is held Htlll to be InleiiBely true, for though the officers believe the person nel nf the army Ih a good as ever, it him been the history of Great llliitaln that they at tho aame I time maintain that "Tommy At I kins" need more leading than any man In the world, so the spilling of Great I Krltnln's best blood Ih likely to con tinue for the present.

Goner.il White represents the Indian element !n the lSrltlsh army and theso who have served In India have always maintained that the com mander there had a more Important post than tho commander In chief him self. As' General Lord Roberts wus considered too old for an other cunipulgn, Generals White.
