For home defence an immediately and genuinely efficient force of 20,000 men should be the result, with a much larger reserve of trained men to draw upon in an emergency.

He will indeed rank high as an Imperial benefactor by the time his scheme is and we hope to see it through before Christmas. Could a patriotic State deserve a more appropriate Christmas box? —Wellington “Post.”
