LORD DERBY'S SCHEME
COMPLETE ANSWER TO GERMANY By Telegraph—Preßß Association—CopyrlrfM London, January 20. Lord Derby las informed the Associated Press Association that it is impossible to estimate the number of men his scheme will produce. , One essential thing was sure, namely, that it had been a complete answer to Germany. It had shown ive had enough men to carry the war to a successful conclusion. The quality of tbe recruits showed a high order of physique, stamina, and intelligence. There wero three sizes of recruits, big, medium, and small. It had become necessary to discontinue the small size entirely, and the medium partially. The intelligence of the men was of such high order that it had helped to solve the problem of supplying sufficient trained • officers. Asked for an opinion on the suggested settlement of soldiers after the war in Australia and New Zealand, Lord Derby replied: "It is the best thing. They can come back when tho country needs them." The love for the Motherland which the war had inspired was one of the redeeming features of the struggle."
