RANKER OFFICERS

PROTEST AT PENSIONS. PARADE IN THE STRAND. OTHER EFFORTS FAIL. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received June 28, 9.10 a.m. LONDON, June 27. “It is no small effort lor former battalion commanders to don sandwich boards and gutter-crawl, but, having vainly tried every constitutional means, we have decided to see it through to the bitter end,” said Major North, secretary of tlie Army Ranker Officers’ Association, who is protesting by a three days' demonstration starting on June 29 against receiving only noncommissioned officers’ pensions despite the fact tiiat tliey had commissioned service. “Two Ministries have not fulfilled their promise to adjust matters,” said Alajor North. “So twelve officers, wearing medals for every campaign since Britain fought the Mad Mullah and including two holders of the Victoria Gross, will assemble in the Strand for a parade during the day in Whitehall and the vicinity of Parliament.” Meanwhile, Field-Marshal Clietwode told the Veterans’ Association that army recruiting was nearing a crisis owing to the low pay for foreign servioe and the difficulty of obtaining jobs after seven years with the colours.
