BIG REVIEW AT ALDERSHOT

Questions in Lords Over Ten Thousand

Londən, May 21.

In the House of Lords this even- ing. Lord Rennell asked the Government whether their atten- tion had been drawn to the allega tion, made in the Italian press that Britain is "equally guilty with France. Belgium and Czechd- Slovakia" in sending war materials: to Abyssinia or allowing them to pass, through her territory; and whether the Government had reason to believe there was any justification for such an allega-

tion,

said Lord Stanhope, replying, he was glad Lord Rennell - had raised the matter. The Italian press was evidently imperfectly.

To Attend

London, May 21. When in connection with the Jubilee celebration His Majesty the King holds an Army review at Aldershot on July 13, 11,000 troops, representing all arms of the service drawn from the Alder- shot Command and including the Mechanised Artillery and a com- plete Tank Battalion, will march past him.

Hitherto the reviews at Alder- shot have been held on Laffan's Plain and

on these Occasions troops taking part were drawn up In a line. This was suitable for the Army of the past but the Army of to-day is so largely mechanized that it is difßcült to convey a true impression of Ita modern character by the old method.

Full Dress, which the Army no longer possesses, used to make a colourful spectacle but one of the most important characteristics of the modern Army is its invisibility to which end its clothing and equipment are designed.

In consequence a better apprc- ciation can be obtained only by a It has, therefore

been decided that units partlet pating should march past His Majesty in Rushmoor Arena where the general public also will have the review in comfort a better opportunity-of watching
