London. March 14.-The leaders of the Oppo-
sition in the House OF Commons this evening
searchingly criticised the governments propos-
ais for the increase and reform of the army.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman said:
The name and fame of Lord Roberts are a
little too largely invoked in this question. Lord
Roberts has spent nearly the whole of his mill
tary life in India where he has had to deal
with finished article: but he has had no eX-
perience of the peculiar difficulties found in
England Of late in utilizing and furnishing
raw material.
He declared that no justification had been
offered by tie government for increasing the
aggressive military power of Great Britain.
Dwelling upon the difficulty of getting recruits.
he asserted that the country would not stand
conscription and that the government in
Producing a military system and spirit which
would fatally change the character Of the nation
and the empire
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. who reviewed
the rapid increase in the army estimates during
recent years, said that nothing could be more
hollow than the iGea that great arrna ments We're
a security for peace, adding that It was an easy
matter to make war inevitable. He reprObated
the proposal to have 10000 men ready 10 send
abroad. Other countries need great armies
said Sir William. because they have long and
Nulnerab BILE frontiers. England's position is in
the sea, and it is the fleet that must be made
sufficient at whatever cost"
In the debate on supply scere occurred.
Lord Hugh Cecil called for division, and Tim
othy Healy. rising with evident excitement.
asked the Speaker whether the noble lord, the
Premier's son, entitled to interrupt He
addressed some remarks to Lord Hugh Cecil
which were drowned in uproar of shouts and
cries Of Sent for the police"
The Speaker sternly called Mr.. Healy TO order
asking him stop interrupting. Mr.. Healy
retorted:
Il won't. You do what you like, but keep
the Premiers in order. You won't turn
him out"
Then, turning to Lord Hugh Cecil Mr. HeaIy
exclaimed
I'VE won't stand nonsense from you!
All the time the Nationalists were cheering
laughing and shouting. Turn him OUT" Fetch
the police!" and the like Eventually quiet vas

WOLSELEY AND LANSDOWNE.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE MADE PUBLIC
IN LONDON

London. March ia parliamentary paper
issued last evening containing Lord Wolse-
ley's memorandum to Lord Salisbury. dated No
vember l., 1900, and the critical minutes upon
the same by Lord Lansdowre and Mr.. Brodrick.
The memorandum which was first referred to
by Lord Lansdowne in the recent debate in the
House of Lords. gives in substance the gist of
LORD Woseley's speech in the upper chamber.
He designates the commander chief "a
fifth wheel to the COACH declares that the exist
ing system is unworkabe and be found in
no other army in the world and recommends
either that the army be again placed under a
military commander. or if for some military
this is not practicable, then that the
be abolished. He adds
1t is now merely high sounding title. with
no real responsibility attached. and answers no
useful military purpose.
Lord Lansdowre in minute dated November
H. declares that Lord Wolseey mistaken
in believing that he CWolseley) was not respOn-
sbe for the efficiency of the army, and that he
failed to realize the limitations imposed by the
Parliamentary system. He describes Lord
Wolseey's first alternative ''reactionary and
mischievous.' and the second as less danger
Gus. but inadVisable."
MIR. Brodrick says. in a minute that Lord
Wolseley failed to appreciate the extent Of his
powers. and did not always act upon those he
knew he possessed. He goes to point out
that Lord WOlseley omitted to mention mobil-
ization and intelligence. for both of which he
alone was responsible. The new system, in Mr..
Brodricks opinion, has worked well; but Mr.
Brodrick like Lord Roberts, desires to try il
before prOnouncing a final opinion.
