CANNOT RUN HIS
Attempted Censure of
BrodriCk Proves
a Failure.

London. Feb. 25.-When the debate
on Beckett's proposed amendment to
the address in reply to the kings
speech was resumed in the house Of
commons yesterday the attack on War
Secretary Brodrick was continued.
The proposed amendment is a censure
of Brodrick. Winston Spencer Church
i'll, Conservative, declared Brodrick's
expectations had only been realized in
two directions; namely, in the de-
crease in the number of volunteers
and in the increase of expenditure.
There were, Churchill said. fewer
bayonets and sabres in the British
army in proportion to the number of
generals than in any army in the
world except the Venezuelan" The
speaker furtherdeclared that the whole
army corps scheme was a ''humbug
and shame and was only introduced
with the object of militariZing Eng
land"
Refers to Your Uncle Sam.
He asked where the government eX-
pected the three army corps intended
for foreign service TO operate. 1t was
not in South Africa. and such a force
was not needed on the Indian frontier.
They certainly could not contemplate

ada for the United States was mo
more prepared to invade Canada than
Great Britain was prepared to invade

amid cheers: ''And long may that

IN the course of the debate the Lib
eral leader, 1&squith, remarked that
the debate was of greater significance
than the division on it, and would be
remembered 'ong after the six army
corps had vanished into thin air. Pre-
mier Balfour. in winding up the debate

Balfour's Bold Challenge.
Halfour cOntended that three army
corps were necessary for work outside
the empire. They had to consider the
defense of India. He regarded war
between Great Britain and Russia as
in the highest degree improbable, but
It was impossible to forget that the
Indian frontier was the key of Great
Britain's military position in the event
of such a war; and. without being an
alarmist he wished to impress upon
them that events moved rapidly in
Central Asia. IN conclusion Balfour de-
cIared that the government deserved

did not trim its sails to popular fa-

The bishop Of Manchester, whose
lighting speeches in the house Of lords
on the education bill were so much
commented on, was in his youth q

when he was young, he had q cousin
at Harrow, q sixth form boy, who
prlded himself much on his boxing.
The bishop was persuaded by the lad
to put on gloves and test his skill.
The result of the contest was that the
Harrovian was soon vanquished, whom
he remarked admiringly: ut is q
