The Opinions of the Press.
LONDON, July 15, Mr H. O. Arnold-Forster, Secretary for War, in the course of the debate in the House of Commons on his Army Reform schemes, stated that the en- listment for general service would be nine years with the colours and three
with the reserves.
He calculated that the short service system would provide 87,000 and the reserves and the general service 23,000. His object in abolishing the linked battalions was to secure a much larger number of men to serve with the colours kept abroad, than with the
colours at home.

The spot where the S. S. Cranley is reported to be ashore in Japan, near Kobe, is said to be a sandy beach, so that no doubt she will be got off without OSAKA SHOSEN KAISHA being greatly damaged. A few years ago the Macduff, we believe, was driven ashore at the same spot and remained on the beach for several weeks. She came off without the slightest damage to her bottom plates.
The steamer Courtfield, which has been waiting in the Harbour for some weeks for a cargo of coolies for South Africa, will go into dock at Kowloon to-morrow for an overhaul. After being attended to she will proceed to the North to take the place of the coolie steamer Cranky, which was recently wrecked. The Tweeddale is due on the return journey from South Africa about July 20, and it is expected that shu the Courtfield.
