REFERENCE TO SEPTEMBER CRISIS ' PA Hv Electric IHtMzmph C#.p* right'Received 2nd March. 9.0 a.m.) LONDON. Ist March. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Stanhope, in making the announcement of the Navy Estimates, emphasises the smoothness and celerity of the naval operations in the September crisis, the mobilisation of all reserves ready for sea being considerably ahead of timetable. The patriotism of the personnel was noteworthy. Incidentally, he states, the apparent decrease of 13.500 in the current personnel is not the reality: actually there ; is an increase of 14.000 because last year’s figures were inflated by 27,500 re- , servists who were called up during the September crisis.
