GENERAL WAR NEWS.
M. Albert Favre, in a remarkable speech in the Chamber of Deputies, said: Behind the rampart of French breasts the British army'has grown to formidable proportions, and is expected to reach 0,000,000. Italy has :.5,0W,000 troops, and Russia has trained 8,000,000, which she can double. England's effectives are in proportion to one in ten of her population, Italy's one in eleven, Russia's one in twenty, and France's one in six. The New York Tribune's London correspondent states that, apparently, an attempt is about to be made to shelve Mr Asquith, and elevate Mr Lloyd George to the Premiership. Hie adda that it is impossible to estimate the strength of the movement.
