DEFENCE OF INDIA.
A TERRITORIAL FORCE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright. Delhi, July 23. Introducing the Auxiliary Force Bill for voluntary training of Europeans in India, the Indian Government announce, in response to those who wish to utilise the enormous man power of India, that they have decided to constitute also an Indian territorial force on the model of the old militia of England, a man to be trained for a short period for successive years. It was hoped that, after intensive training, the force would take its place side by side with the regular Indian army in time of war, though it was not suggested that the force would be used overseas.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
