Army Reduction.

Received Beptember 17, 10.6 pre London, beptember 17 Mr Haldane, in a second speech at Newcastle, said that no single nation was able to reduce its armaments. He believed that the day was approaching when the democracies themselves would initiate such a step. Meanwhile Great Britain could not afford to be weak, and must put her forces on the best possible footing. Mr Haldane also spoke hopefully of the relations of Boer and Briton, now drawing together. The admixture of blood would bring an increase of strength and grit.
