DEFENCES OF INDO-CHINA.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pot writes on April 16;-General Vorton, the president of the Colonial Defence Com- mittee Instituted by a former Minister of the Colonies, M. Doumegue, has reported serious defects in the arrangements: for the defence of Indo-Obina, According to the Echo de Paris General Voyron, while on a tour of inspection, discovered that the committee's recommendations had been persistently ignored. He cabled the Minister of the Colonies to this effect on Feb. 5, stating that only about one third of the artillery ammunition considered hocen- four batteries of Bary was available, new field guns had been left entirely without ammunition and were consequently useless, and that the supply of riffe cartridges was 50,000,000 below the amount formerly estimated by the committee aa..safe minimum,

The Russo-Japanese war has since'shown that much larger reserves are necessary. General Voyron also reported that the European troops were inadequately armed 1978 and were without a proper supply of water, He discovered a battalion of 800 men, re- cently sent out from France, quartered in

conditions. General Voyron also pointed out that the question of recruiting native troops in Cochin Chips was still pending, in spite of three years' correspondence between the local authorities and ther Ministry of the Colonics.

It is, the by way, desirable to increase the explosive power of the British torpedo up to the standard attained in the later German types, which carry

■ heavier charge of explosive than is employed in most na ies. The charge in the big Schwarzkopf torpedo is 284 lb. of gupcotton, while the most powerful British 18-in. Whitehead only carries 199 lb., and the 14-in., supplied to most of our antiquat ed torpedo bost flotilla, oul₹80 to 70 lb.

Experience in the Far East suggest that the most powerful torpedo will be needed to put a battleship thoroughly out of action. In the Russian navy there is a torpedo carry- iug 30 lb. charge, but it is doubtful whether it is in general use. The Japanese torpedo employed in the late war carried a charge of 20 lb.
