Preference will be given to young and smart officers, and tempting offers of promotion will be held out to them.
The force now concentrated in the Shirpur Cantonmentsis made up as follows:—Offi- cers, 192; other ranks, British, 2,653; native, 3,867. This gives a grand total’ of 6,617 fighting men jof all arms.
