GRANTS TO LEADERS.
A DELICATE TASK. JEIXICOE'S ORGANISING WORK FRENCH'S VICTORY AT YPRES. ißy Association.—Copyright.) (Received 9.45 a,m.) LONDON, August 7. After the House of Commons had agreed to the vote of thanks to the Forces, Mr. Lloyd George, moving the money grants, pointed out that the pensions already voted totalled £98,000,000 annually. They were incomparably the most generous in Europe. It was a difficult and delicate task to choose the names for money grants. He paid a glowing tribute to each recipient, specially mentioning the great organising work of Lord Jellicoe. The German account of the battle of Ypres showed that Field-Marshal French had won against overpowering odds. From that moment the fate of German military supremacy was irretrievably doomed. Mr. J. Adamson, on behalf of the Labour party, moved a reduction from £555,000 to £2000, on the ground that the suras were out of proportion to the monetary rewards of the .rank and file. (A. and*N.Z Cable.)
