BRITISH POLITICS.
THE ARMY SCHEME. Received April 11, 1.17 a.m. LONDON, April 10. A sensational feature of the debate on Mr R. B. Haldane's army scheme was Sir Charles Dilke declaring that the proposed striking force of 167,000 men was far too large, and not fixed by any consideration for strategical needs, but merely by'the accidental strength of battalions abroad. The House was not informed where such forces might be needed. The financial provision for territorials was inadequate. There was very little democratic about territorials. The sympathy of the public could only be attracted if the Australian plan were adopted of paying artisans for the time given in the public service.
