In connection with the transfer of British forces to France, it is officially pointed out that this is a much more complicated business than in the last war.
Whereas in 1918, about five persons were required to keep one soldier in the line, probably more are required to-day.
The difference between German and British preparations is that we are basing our calculations on the as- sumption that the war will last three years, whereas the German prepara- tions are based on the hope of a lightning war.-Reuter.

centres in Britain will be invited to tender for contracts for the supply of boots for the Army and other services of France, Poland, Turkey, Rumania and Greece, it was stated at Leicester.
But the British Government has taken action in the matter of con- tracts for war stores, including boots, for foreign countries. Countries to which Britain has extended credtis will have their contracts placed by the Ministry of Supply and raw ma- terials for such contracts will be issued through the Ministry.
Men's footwear manufacturing cen- tres are busy on contracts for Army boots for Britain and orders placed in Northampton alone approach 2,000,- 000 pairs.
"Special plant, not used in the manufacture of women's footwear, will have to be laid down if Army boot contracts are placed in Leicester, Norwich and other centres," a Leices- ter manufacturer said.
Mr. Rubinstein said that the play goes right through Mr. MacDonald's career from the time he met the lady who became his wife. It ends at the time of bis death.
"I first conceived the idea," he said, "at the 1917 Club, of which Mr. Mac- Donald was a prominent member. I was lunching there on the day he was elected to the leadership of the Op- position. That scene has actually been incorporated into the play."
