IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
THE ARMY ESTIMATES. United Press Association—Per Electric Telegraph—Copyrignt. Received 4.32 pan., March 9th. LONDON, March 8. In the House of Commons, during the debate oh the Army Estimates, Mr Brodrick said that after the crisis had passed, it would probably be necessary to retain 15,000 of the regular troops in South Africa. Mr Robertson, member for Dundee, in commenting on the colonies' wish that the war should be fought to the bitter end, hoped that the Government would not follow Mr Chamberlain's example and grovel at the feet of the colonies. He asked would the colonies bear one-fifth of the cost of the war? Mr Brodrick disdained to reply, but said that he was confident that Mr Chamberlain had not met the Premiers of the colonies in such a spirit, and would never forget the services the colonies had rendered without pressure or invitation.
