to

At the anniversary meeting of the Royal Historical Society, held at the society's bouse in Kussell- square the president, the Hop. J. W. Fortescue, delivered an address on "The British Army in the Years after Waterloo," when the Govern« ment of that day was seeking, even by the reduction of a few thousand pounds here and there, to lighten the burden of taxation. The pen- sions for soldiers, which had been increased to 16 a day after The Commission unanimously decided twenty-one years' service, were that Germany was not entitled to issue reduced again to 6d a day, loans without the authority of the Com- and

abroad the greater part of the troops were condemned to exile in deadly climates. In some places regiments had to be practically re newed every two years on account of the ravages of disease. Paupers and felons sneered at the redcoats, because they had to "cat brown bread, when even the prison popul-'| ations had white. It went to the heart of the Prince Regent, however, when he heard that some officers who had only their pay on which to live drank water in mess. It was then agreed that these officers should receive allowances which would give them two or three glasses of wine apiece, and that allowance, the lecturer added, cón- tinued in force, in one form or another, until 1914.

Sir John Bradnury and M. Delacroix are drafting a strong note to Germany.
