Miniature Dreyfus Ca Allahabad, July 13.—A special cable from the Pioner's correspondent, dated London, 11th July, states that there is a growing agitation among the Irish Unionists hostile to Sir Anthony MacDonell. It is alleged that the re-trial and convi tion of a | previously-acquitted constable was due to Sir Anthony MacDonell's priest-inspired intervention. The Times invites the atten- tion of Parliament to this miniaturo Drey- fus case, and biots that Sir Anthony MacDonell is pursuing a policy of his own, The New Army Reform Scheme, Loudon, July 14.-Mr Arnold-Forster introduced his army reform soheme in the House of Commons to-night. It reduces the army by fourteen battalions and leaves the Militia untouched, because the country is not ripe for change therein. The Volunteers will be reduced to 180,000 men, but will receive much larger granta, and this will produce efficiency.
It is proposed to divide the army into two parts, keeping one for purely home service with two years with the Colours, and six with the Reserve. —
LATEE. Mr Arnold-Forster said the three-years” system had broken down and must end, because the men refused to extend their service, and we had already had to send abroad many men who only served ten months. The condition of the Militia was perfectly unsatisfactory, and he believed tho Volunteers were our best material, though it was not clear that we were making the best use of them. Conscrip- tion, he said, would result in an an- nual addition to our expendituro of £25,900,000, while a large Home Army was unnecessary in time of peace. The present number of troops abroad was a necessity. India required 52 battalions and the Colonies 37 battalions.

It is doubtful whether | retreat is even open to bim, save by the grace of his foe, who may build the proverbial bridge of gold for the enemy to flec in a specified direction. It will be a grave injury to civilisation if the war be permitted to continne much longer. It has ceased to be a war, and has become a drive as relentless as the battue that some of r continental friends call sport. The only excuse for wishing it to be prolonged : 1stbe the widespread belief that Russian aggres- sion is an international peril of such magnitude that should be crushed back for a century at least. Such an opinion is not wholly unjustifiable.
