The object of this special study was According to the correspondent, to ezabla the. armies of France and England to co-operate should the necessity arins: Buch a question is, obviously, a delicate matter. for a patriotic journal to discuss; but, assuming that it is true, it fits in with a great deal that is passing. in the minds of the two nations at the present time. It renders for instance, peculiary 'ap- propriate the remarks of bir Thomas Barclay, reproduced yesterday in this column, on the strategical value of the Chanpal Tunnel. Givon that the Entente receives an armed backing in certain eventualities, it becomes of immensS, importance that there should be a free and open communication between the two countries,.. whereby the one may send troops to the'uther's nid.

-MILITARY AID TO FRANCE.

One need not go to bistory, one need.not summon the ghost of a certain Foreign Minis ler's to be quite sure that this nation has foreseen, and perhaps even counted upon, the . military aid of angland, quits apart from her Fleet action. Needless to say that, having auch views at the back of her head," she would have looked with consternation on the reduction of the Army establishment by Mr. Haldane had she not becs by nature a sceptici

No people realize more readily than the French the necessity of placating party supporters, and this latest move of the Liberal Government is regarded as a pare piece of politics, and no thing more. "Of course, having made their pledges, they must keep them-at least in the latter but do not try to make us believe that the Liberal Government is seriously bent on diminishing the defensive and offensive force of England. It is not possible." It is in this way that keen observers have discussed the "hule army" scheme of Mr. Haldade. The French see readily enough that the British Government will meet with no success in their attempt to reduce armaments, and that they will presently drop it altogether.

ENGLAND AND CONSCRIPTION.

Very close to this question of the military efficiency of England is the question of con scription. Continental experts will tell you, without the least equivocation, that England must have conscription. The ability to put a large army in the field is imperative. Let us say at once that it grows' naturally out of the [996 tunnel, England becoming a Continental nation, must undertake Continental respon. sibility. That may appear an argument against the tunnel, but it is not so in reality, England. cannot afford to maintais her old-time isolation.. I asked Sir Thomas Barclay yesterday hin view on conscription, and was somewhat astonished at his answer. "Whilst," he said, "I have not reiched finality in my opinions on conscription, I recognise that it must be considered us an economical question. In Germany there are no unemployed. Why? Because of conscription. In England we have thousands of unemployed. Why? Because the young men drive out the old men from employment.. Employers find that a labourer at twenty-two is better able to do his work that one who is past thirty-five. This works to the great prejudice of labour. Where every one serves youth is employed in According to the report made by the magis- the army, giving the mature labourer a working trates of the districts of Quinsan and Sinyang life of two or three years longer.
