" excellent example of the Behar Light Horse," and he represents the 

 difficulties to be encountered in arming the Europeans at the last 

 moment, after which he ably submits his proposals, of which we 

 extract his recapitulation in full : 



''Recapitulation 24. The recommendations herein contained may 

 be recapitulated as follows : that 



(i). It is absolutely necessary to increase the armed European force 

 in the country. 



(2). The best way to do this would be to raise a Militia. 

 (3). Failing this a Register should be prepared by the civil author- 

 ities in every district, showing in detail all Europeans and Eurasians. 

 (4). From this a second Register should be prepared, showing the 

 adult males capable of bearing arms. 



(5). The local civil authorities should encourage all these to join 

 the Volunteers or " Larjdwehr." 



(6). Those who would not join the " Landwehr" should be invited 

 to join a reserve or " Landsturm." 



(7). For the members of this Reserve, arms and ammunition should 

 be supplied, and kept under proper precautions at the head-quarters 

 of the districts. 



(8). The members of the Reserve should be allowed, under certain 

 restrictions, to keep and use their arms, and should be encouraged to 

 join in the Volunteer Rifle matches, &c. 



(9). The general control of the organization should be with the 

 local civil officers, aided by the Volunteer Staff of Adjutants and Ser- 

 geants ; the Adjutant forming a link between the Commissioner and 

 the General Commanding the Pjvision. 



(10). Full information regarding the number of men available, &c., 

 in each district, should be furnished to the Military authorities, who 

 would work with the civil administration in the matter. 



(li). No efforts should be spared to render efficient the poorer 

 classes of Eurasians, who require more drilling than the Europeans. 



(12). For small bodies of European Riflemen in the districts, the 

 regulations regarding drill should be relaxed, and the Boer organization 

 followed ; Volunteer Corps at the large stations remaining as they are, 

 with uniforms, drill, &c., after the manner of the Regular Army. 



(13). The formation of parties of Light Horse or Uhlains should 

 be encouraged in the district, thereby securing the best class of men 

 as Volunteers.
