STARING AT A GIRL.
At Clerkenwell Court, John Gander, 44, manager of the National Bank, Park-street, Cam- den Town, was charged with using insulting words and be- haviour at St. Augustine's-road. St. Pancras Constable Hignell said Miss Ivy Lee complained to him. He saw Gander and brought him back to her. She said he had passed her more than once and stared in her face. Miss Lee said she complained of the man's con- duct. He did not speak, bat frightened her. For the defence it was pleaded that a mistake had been made. Gander, it was stated, went out after supper and was arrested as he turned into the road. Mr. Gill, the magistrate, said he had no doubt, and fined Gander 40s.

A great many believed, and still believe, that this would follow naturally from a victorious' peace, and more, who have welcomed the League of Nations, hare done so because they hoped that it would not only enable' Continental Europe to disarm, but would allow us to effect very real economies in unproductive expenditure. Before the war Germany had a short service army iterity, and is provided with a of 800,000 ruen, and by passing large number of ships of the very her manhood through her mili- latest types.

She is now to have a long: service army of 100,000 men: which she will be unable to use train her manhood to arms. She had before the war the largest and most efficient munition factories in the world, which are to be abolished, and her navy, which was second only to our own, has now almost completely disappeared. Therefore the military and naval problems of Europe have been, or are about to be, fundamentally altered, apart altogether from any virtue which the League of Nations
may possess.

It would appear, then, to be at first sight a simple matter for us to affect drastic,economies. The matter is, however, far from simple, because, as the Prime Minister explained in his state ment, and as Mr. Churchill has pointed out in recent articles, our military establishments were not before the war influenced by the size and power of Continental armies. The strength of our. regular army, and the system on which it was organised, depended, from the days of Cardwell on- wards, on the size of the garrisons which we had to maintain abroad. and chiefly upon the number of troops necessary to safeguard India.
