ATTACKS WAR SECRETARY
English Army scheme Said to Be Hum
bug and Sham.

London. Feb. 24.--When the debate
on Mr. Beckett's proposed amendment
70 the address In reply 10 the Kings
speech was resumed in the house OF
commons today the attack on War Sec
retary Brodrick was continued. Win.
ston Spencer Churchill, conservative,
declared Mr. Brodick's expectations had
only been realized in but two directions
namely. in the decrease In the number
Of volunteers and IN the decrease Of ex-
pendi,ures. There were, he said few
er bayonets and sahres IN the British
army In proportion TO the number OF
generals thaa any army in the world ex
cept the Venezuelan"
The speaker further declared that
the whole army scheme was hum
bug and an object Of militarizing Eng
land. He asked where the government
expected the three army corps intended
for foreign service 10 operate. II was
not in South Africa and such force
was not needed on the Indian frontier.
They certainly could not contemplate
the three army corps operating in Can
ada, for the United States was mo
more prepared 10 invade Canada than
Great Britain vas prepared to invade
the United States" Mr.. Churchill ad-
ded amid cheers. "and long may that
salutary neglect"
