The recent announcement of the reorganization and expansion of the Territorial Army once more arows attention to the peculiar position in Great Britain with regard to national Jdefence.. In the past the main strength of the country's defence has been the Navy. 'The land force consists of a Regular Army, voluntarily recruited, the chief duty of which' Is to police the vast British Empire overseas, and an auxiliary force, the Territorial Army, of civilians who voluntarily devote their spare time to military training, During the Great War, when large Expeditionary Fores were sent to the various theatres "of war, conscription was ultimately introduced, but until then the sentiment of the country' had always been against compulsory service. The Prime Minister recently announced that it is mot this intention to [introduce conscription during the lifetime of this Parliament; so immediate attention will be to strengthening the Territorial units, The fanti-aircraft divisions will be inereaged from two to five, During the past year the number lof men serving in the anti-aircraft divisions [was doubled; by next year it will almost have been doubled again, The new Territorial Army will, with modifications appropriate to its 8 peculiar character, "be given the same content land put on the same footing as the Regular Army." Tt is not to be expected that the so-called "amateurs" of the Territorial Army, who have their daily work to do in civil lite, jean become in all ways as efficient as the "professionals" of the Regular Army: but they are now being welded into a formidable force for home defence. fal Bey Scouts' Jamboree Yatecn's Birthday s).
