The Chief of Indian States are under no oblign tion to take upon their shoulders any part of the Imperial burden abro Nevertheless of their own free will they have expressed the desire to range themselves among the forces of the Em pire. It appears to us therefore, that whether it be found possible to accept their offers or not, it is desirable to make known that the States of Indis are one with the British Empire, not only in maintaining contingents for the defence of India itself, but in placing themselves, so far as lies in their power, in the line with the other dependencies of Great Britain, by offer- ing their resources, in support of the Empire in distant parts of the world.

In the meantime, the two new battleships, which form this year's programme, will be de dayed, and one of the new ships sanctioned by AFIVE ROOMED HOUSE, with TENNIS the last Parliament will only be nominally begun after the next Parliament meet. At Devonport, the launching of the Montagu is alec delayed. The Glory, by the time she is commissioned in December, will have taken over four years to build.
