THE BRITISH ARMY.
DEBATE IN HOUSE OF LORDS,
LONDON, March 13. Lord Middleton initiated a debate on the subject of the Army, particularly with reference to partially trained batteries^
Earl Roberts urged that forty efficient batteries would be much more effective than a much greater number of territorial batteries, which, untrained and unorganised, might be a source of danger. He contended that to trust to amateur artillerists would be to court disaster. The country shouli-1 be sufficiently garrisoned to protect it from an invader. The debate was adjourned.
