Balanca Sheet; and been fully recognised as critical, | and preparations' in view of dù- happy oventunlitica havo boan wisely and vigorously prosuchteil,, In course of time the measures recently adopted by the civil and military authorities of the War Office will no doubt be divulged in history, and there is good reason to believe that those who
read the records of work well and truly done will be more thau satisfied. More especial- ly creditable to all concerned is the fact that everything has been done so quietly and unustenta- tiously, as well as effectually, Had war suddenly broken out during the past fortnight, this nation would have been astonishod to find that its armed forces were, really ready, and that the mobilis tion and despatch of the Expodi- tionary Forca would have proceed. e with an ease and a rapidity. quite foreign to all our previous experiences of entering upon any

The one weak spot in our military armour is the Territorial force. Properly trained for immediate war, in the existing conditions of service, the citizen army obviously cannot be but this defect is, alter all, far less serious than its lamentable deficiency in numbors. The real object of the Home Defence Army
is rather to maintain pablic confi dence than to tako its stand as a -voritablo fighting force. The public knows little about the comparative efficiency or in- efficiency of any soldiers, but it ean and does understand that if 'force is supposed to number -315,000-and-actually numbers some 60,000 less, the security to our hearths and homes is pro- portionately reduced. From this cause a panic might readily arise which would greatly hamper the efforts of the military authorities to support France with our ut most strength of Regular troops.
