NAVAL PERSONNEL.

As regards the Navy, Sir Robert Horne said the difference between the Admiralty and Geddes recom mendations was almost entirely a question of personnel. The Admiralty had now agreed to reduction to 95 000 compared with the Geddes recommendation of The Government accepted the personnel of 98,000 as the minimum and hoped greater reductions in naval expenditure would be possible next year.

WAR OFFICE SAVINGS.

As regards the Army, the War Office had agreed to a reduction of £17,000 100 and 83,000 men which was equivalent to cancelling 24 line battalions and an equivalent of five cavalry regiments and a 10 per cent. reduction in the artillery.

TROOPS IN THE COLONIES,

Sir Robert Horne said that the committee's re- commendation of a reduction of 54,000 men had liten. reduced to 39,000 owing to the Indian Government' changing its mind with regard to the number of British troops they needed. The Army, excluding India and the Colonies, would be reduced by 24,000 men compstod with the number before the war. Instead of the six divisions sent oversea at the beginning of war we would only be able now to send two divisions in the first month of any emergency.

treaties.

The debate on the Yap treaty, has seriously dis- turbed supportera of the administration. If as much time is consumed on each of the other treaties as on the Yap the debate will drag along for many wesks, wherens the administration hoped that two or three weeks would be sufficient. The attack on the Yap treaty was led by Senator Johnson, the Republican leader who declared that Japan got Yap an-l other formerGerman possessions in the Pacific an the result of a searet Anglo-Japanese agreement for division of the spoils of war in the Pacific.

The opposition to the Yap treaty is trivial compar

ed to the fight which will be made on the four-power treaty.
