also said 1t had been decided to raise
twelve additional infantry battalipns.
Mr.. Wyndham said the existing cavalry
forces would also be extended and that
commissions would be offered 10 military
officers TO the colonies aud TO the unisersi-
Ties. At present, the speaker further
pointed out, there were 10000 in the coun-
try aud the increase was anticipated 10 be
$4,000. There were now S2s.v00 men in
the auxiliary forces, and II wac estimated
the increase would be $4,000 men. SO
Altogether, the country would soon have at
least 5i7,00o men, and Mr.. Wyndham an
ticipated that the number would be nearer
100000 than half a million.
Tho secretary of state for war, Lord
Lansdowne, furnished the house OF lords
with a statement similar TO that Of Mr..
Wydnham. The trince OF Wales and the
duke OF Cambridge were interested llsteL-
ers In the house OF lords.
In the course Of his remarks Mr. wynd-
ham referred TO the governments con-
hdence in the prince OF Wales and splendid
efficiency OF the fleet. saying 1t was never
greater nor more legitimate than now. The
government, he said. was not making APP
peals for money and men in a spirit OF
panic. The risk was not very much
greater than year ago. but It had in
creased in exact proportion to the reduc-

sufhced to justify the demands for an in
crease In the resources for home defeoses.
Continuing, Mr.. Wyndham said the ex-
listing cavalry forces would also be ex-
banded by seven regiments, asd that com
missions In the regular army would be
offered to the colonela.
The liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, who followed, said he had
heard OF the great scheme OF the admin
istratlon for great army. He had not
heard a single feature mentioned as to the
cost thereof. He asked how much Of the
money required was due to the war.
Mr.. Wyndham replied 10000 pounds
sterling.
Sir Henry Campbell Bsunerman said he
could not be expected to pronounce an
opinion on the scheme suddenly. He
added that he believed nine ienths OF his
hearers were ready TO do almost anything
for the purpose of the present war, but
they would like to regard IL as a war
measure, leaving the question of the
future open for future discussion.
1t was explained in The lobbies OF the
house OF commons MIR. Wyndham meant
10 convey that all the supplementary es-
Inmates asked for were due to the war;
except 10000 pounds sterling required for
the new scheme to close the fiscal year Of
