UNIFIED ARMY. SIR W. NICHOLSON'S SCHEME.
CHANCES FOR OVERSEAS SOLDIERS. FOUNDATIONS OF DEFENCE WELL AND TRULY LAID. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received Juno 21, 10 a.m.) LONDON, 20th June. Lord Haldane, Secretary of State for War, in an address to 140Q' colonials, including New Zealanders, at the Duke of York's School, at Chelsea, said he hoped General Sir W. Nicholson's (Chief of the General Staff) scheme would be elaborated after consultation with the chief colonial officers, and that the result would be a unified army of Empire. The scheme would give the overseas soldiers a chance of distinction, the power of interchange, and opportunities of becoming acquainted with what were the highest military systems of Great Britain and other countries. His belief was that the foundations of Imperial defence had been well and truly laid, and this gave a lively sense that we were living 'in days full of hope for the Empire.
