[R. BALDWIN coupled last month an appeal for recruits for the Territorial Army with a grave' warning on the country's air peril. He was addressing an audience of about 5,000 in the Albert Hall at the annual Grand Habitation demonstration of the Primrose League, and said:

"There is no greater service that young men can render to- day than by filling up the ranks of the Territorial Force.

"The greatest peril in the world to-day comes from the air. It is in the air that we are making the greatest efforts to strengthen our own defences, and so far as the ground work of these defences goes in this country, that will be the responsibility of such units of the Territorial Force as may be selected for that work.
