· INDIAN ARMY REDUCTIONS.
In the House of Lords, on June 27th, Lord Midleton expressed his apprehen- sion in regard to the reductions in the Army and the reductions in the British forces in fedia, - récommended by the Inchcape Committee. He suggested that a reduction in pay would bë preferühle
reduction in numbers.
Lord Inchcape emphasisal that it might disitstenus in impose on India a larger military expenditure than what those responsible for the country considered

AN EXPLORER'S KIERAND SPORKAN.
Captain Angus Buchanan, MC, the explorer and naturalist, who, accompanied by Mr. T. A. Glover, cinematograph gporntor, has just completed a romantic journey across the Sahara desert, is a Scot, even to his exploring kit. When seen this week the explorer was on the lock of his favourite cel in Southern' Algeria, vlud in a kilt made out of blanics, with a spurist consisting of the head of a muntain scen and two ground squirrels tails, ornamented by a piece of biserit tin.
A SPORTING RECORIA
Mr. L. Balfour-Melville, W.S., whose engagement to Miss Hattey Carey has been atrounced completed his 4th year in March lat. He is a well-known lin- burgh sportsman. In 18 he won the Amateur Golf Championship, and was in the semi final on other four occasions, while he has won a number of medals at St. Andrews and Edinburgh. He has also won the championship of Lawn Tennis
for Scotland, played for Scotland in cricket continuously from 1870 till 1914. In nl- dition he has shone at billiards, curling, and skating, and i4 an excellent shot.

NO WILD TIMES FOR ME..
Realing through an American newspaper. I came across this description of how Gene Sarazen was to live his life while in this country. It rula like the advocacy of some health society. "No wild times for me: regular hours, regular food and regular sleep will be my slogan. He goes on to say that he will · have no excuse things go against him

Miar. But he didn't bargain for our weather! The host perfect comment on this "best laid scheme" would be a picture of poor Gene facing the deluge at Troon-st the hoic where he pat an eight on his card-sur- mounted with the caption (his own) No wild times for me"

would not affect anyone at present in the Army.
Lord Selborne said Lord Midleton did ut propose to impose on the Government of India military expenditure which the Tatter did not consider necessary, or to ent down the Inchenpaeuts by n single lakh.
INTERNAL CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY, Viscount Peel emphasised that the mat- ters were sub judice. The question of reduction in the Indian Army involved of the whole situation. a full survey India must be dealt with in conjunction with other reductions. He strongly de- wied the suggestion that there were dan grous reasons in the general situation against a reduction. On the contrary, he thought the situation was far more satis. factory than had been suggested. Thứ conditions oa the Frontier and the ques
ion of prace with Turkey would have to
considered along with internal con-
ditions,
Proceeding, Viscount Peel paid a high tribute to the ability of Lord Tawlinson and General Sir C. W. Jacob. whose advice should be taken against a hundred stray opinions that might be conlted. Tu opinions of the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of the General Staff, with those of the Government of India and the Viceroy, were the opinions of those responsible for carrying out the possible changes. He pointed out that a redne tion in pay instead of in numbers would be a breach of contract. The question of
revision of bay would come up next yrar, until when nothing could be done. He asked members to remember that the Army in India was paid by the Indian taxpayer and the moneys voted by the India Legislative Assembly, and em- passed the risk in imposing or suggest. ing a burden on the people of India which they thought unnecessary or which they were unable to hear.
Lord Midleton, replying to the debate, thanked Lord Derby for his statement,
