Colonel Seely, Secretary of State for War, speaking at Ilkeatone, said that the Government would not introduce conscription until they had told the country frankly their intentions, save in the case of a great danger menacing the country.

' The Government would shortly be announcing a plan for making it easier for worthy rankers to rise from the humblest to the highest places in the Army.
