BRITISH ARMY': POSITION , ANALYSED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Rec. March 22, 10.30 p.m.) ' London, March 22. Colonel Repington states that the position of the Army regarding numbers is critical. "We ,have; seventy United Kingdom divisions at Tiome and abroad. These are much under strength. In order to complete them We need fourteen hundred thousand recruits, which the Derby scheme promised. The estimates proving illusory, the whole fabric of our military power is 'therefore threatened. Recruits are only needed for drafts, so the minimum of four months' training is acceptable. Recruits are wanted immediately if they are to be used this summer. Cabinet ought to tell the country, the triit'h about the recruiting, and then abolish the. lists of certified occupations, and bring in a Bill general 'military service Tor the duration of 'the war of all men of military ago, and-., prolong the sorvice of the timc-oxpired men during, the,war."
