THE BRITISH ARMY.
(Kec.eived Wednesday, at 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, Tuesday.
The discussion on the Army (Annual) Bill in the House of Lords is attracting considerable attention, especially Lord Ilaldan's remark that the Dominions may yet do more than defend themselves, and also the suggestion subsequently pressed by Lord Curzon, that both political parties might take counsel together. The "Pall Mall Gazette" supports the latter proposal. The "Westminster Gazette" states that if the' Territorials fall below strength the Government should not adopt compulsion, but increase the second line of naval defence or retain the professional army till the sea frontiers arc secure. The "Daily Mail" declares that last year's manoeuvres showed that the ileet representing Germany was able to land twenty-eight thousand men on the Yorkshire coast.
