THINGS WE SHOULD LIKE TO SEE ILLUSTRATED.

From a recent novel:--

"Class A (fit for general service) is subdivided as
follows:--1--Men actually fit for general service in any theatre
in all respects. 2--Recruits who should be fit for A1 as soon as
trained. 3--Men who have previously served with an expeditionary
force who should be fit for £1 as soon as 'hardened.'"--_Scots
Paper_.

They must be well worth it, even in a soft state.
