§ Mr. EdenMr. Watson's letter, renewing a previous and unsuccessful application to be appointed to the Army Officers Emergency Reserve, has been under consideration. Enrolment in the Army62W Officers Emergency Reserve is dependent on the possession of suitable military or technical qualifications, and Mr. Watson, although he served in the last war, does not appear to possess such qualifications as would warrant appointment to a commission otherwise than through the ranks.
