lit our tclegrams recently it was :tnnouiiced that

the Atliiiiralty had called for an additional 400,000 iiieit for the navy. This may be taken too seriously by niany but it should not be forgotten that the Govern- ment has to budget for all possible requirenitiitts. ln this ease it is doing so on the broadest basis. At a time like the present. econoiiiy for the mere sake of economy has no nieattiiig. It is only eiificieiicy that counts. The whole of the additional 400,000 men may not be required. In that event there will be no was-

‘iiieaiiiiig of that saying is that this country is saved

following year. l __

'l`he estimate has zi special interest as showing the

far-reacliing scale on which the British Admiralty is working. Prior to the war, the whole personnel of the Navv scarcely exceeded 200,000. According to recent figures, this has been almost doubled. `

that until ticriiiatiiy is beaten their' frontier lies along the trenelics in l"raiit~e and Belgiuui. The practical

pitiitlcdiiavai programiiie is twisted in ti'aiisniissioii to the (iermaii public.

tnic of the most shanieful ineidetits that has oc-

curred in Parliaiiieiit iii recent years, was the subtle iiisiiiiiation niatle by Hon.

The iiicizleiit we find repoi'- te-tl dt page 504 of the l'luiisitrd of ]"ebru:iry (ith, aiitl, ctiifiotisly enough, has thus far escapbtl the attention of the press. Sir Sain lltiglies was tlisctissiitg the ivell kiiowti fact that when men are exposed to wet and cold for liotirs at a time in the treiiches a small ration of ruin is soiiietiiiies .served to prevent unfortunate rc- siilts, when .\lr_ .\Iareil iiitei'i'upted with the following suggestive tpiestioii: _

mitted to pass iinrebuked_ Sir Robert Ilorden, who was in the Hotise, iiiiiiiediately rose and iraruily resen- ted .\|r. .\larcil's words, as follows:

"I have n'ever lie'_'_rtl that rtiiii is given to the

iiieii when they are going into action. \\'hat I have heard is that ivlieii men are exliaustetl and wet aiitl cold. a very small proportion of riini is _ given to tlieni merely as a stiiiiulziiit, for the time being, to prevent unfortiiiiatc - results from \vet dull t~(,lti_ _\< to riiiii being given to the iiieti be-. fore going into action, tlitit is sonictliiiig l hztve iiever lieai'd of. and l do not believe it for one
