said was that If 1t was found
that the association would not consider

draw from the association IN that event.
Nor did he give notice OF independent

said: II think have all the evidence

LONDON. April l5.-Revelations made
in evidence OH the state of the British

have been the sensation OF the week.
The recommendations which the COM
mlttee previously published were a Sc
ries OF dry aud formal propositions, i'll
dieatlng nothing OF the extraordinary
statements of the leading military
chiefs. These we're OF such nature as
will lead 10 the most active agitation in
parliament as soon as the recess IS over.
A group of military members OF the
house of commons have already seen
War Secretary StdnhOpe privately and
extOrted from him a promise that the
government shall not obstruct full
discussion AID consequent reforms. The
generals examined concurred In the
opinion that there was hardly single
infantry battalion at home effective.
Adit. Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood declared
that 30 per cent OF the men encamped at
Aldershot were unfit for camp duties;
that they could not even do days
service. on account OF their youth aud
lack OF stamina. and that the only prac-
tice he dared to put on such men was
two hours carrying the pack or sentry
duty. The Duke of Cambridge, COM
mander in chief. indorSed these
Startling Statements,
adding that ii called upon To mobilize
twOarmy curps OH short notice the au-
thorities could not do So, and he did not
think il possible 10 mobilize one corps
composed OF twenty-five battalions of
infantry. Lord WOlseley, ia response
to a question whether the battaliOns as
they now stand would be fit Tor home
defense, replied: III we were lnYaGed
tomorrow they would be better than
nothing" He held that tie volunteer
force was the most important factor in
defense.
The Duke of COnnaught said: II am
perfectly certain that ii the baitalionS
under NY command at Portsmouth were
ordered 20 service tomorrow, one-halt
of them would not be allowed to 70. on
account of unliInesS.' Lord Woiseley
likened the home forces 10 squeezed
lemon. The Duke or connaught held
that grown men would not join the serv-
ice, owing to the fact that wearers of
the queens uniform are socially iostra-
cised, and also because soldiers are
wantonly burdened with excessive sen-
try duty. He told how, having
noticed the numerous guards employed
at Windsor Castle on sentry duty, he
had induced the qaeen To ask the au-
thorities to reduce their number and
otherwise 10 relieve them. but the au-
th0rities would not assent until strong

In regard TO methods of reform there
was a consensus OF opinion that a sub
stantial increase of the strength of home
battaiions would come from more lib
eral pay and better pensions. Views
differed OH the period of service. but
agreed on the need OF periodic training
for reserve men, now provided. with

oners charged with the killing of Ray

tempt TO lynch them, with general

This morning the sheriff demanded
the prisoners from the commanding

of Champion and Ray were brought into

The sight caused the most intense feel
