London. Dec. 1S.-Next year may
very possibly see Great Britain one
huge armed camp assembled to repel
an invasion now being arranged.
The defenders will be as many of the
Territorials as can be mustered. the
invaders will be the Regular Army,
which will, under escort of the navy
and assisted by landing parties of sail
ors, be landed at various points on the
coast line stretching from Sussex to
the northeast coast of Scotland.
The exact landing places are not yet
decided upon, though the choice of the
northeast coast is somewhat signified.
The general idea will be that two or
more inyasions, designed to split up
the defending forces. have taken place
The actual disembark alton will not
be opposed, the supposition being that
it has been successfully conducted be-
fore the Territorials are modified
The war office is now making inQui-
ries amongst the various Territorial
commanding officers in order to SEE
how many men could be mustered to
take part in this exceptionally wide
scheme of maneuvers
Should the plan mature the whole of
the Territorial Army will be employed
and after the ordinary training-which
will last from July % to August 1.-THE

ceasing on August ).
Each Territorial district will be at

Life accustoms the Filipino woman
to labor at a very early age. AS a
tiny girl she is rarely seen without an
appendage in the shape Of a baby

woman-and she is a woman at fifteen
or before-she may have small shop

and much other work to do.
Marriage brings no vacation. She is
pretty sure to have many children to
care for. She tends the fields. cooks
and frequently has stall in the mar

the women are really old then their
