FORMATION PROPOSED. SIMILAR TO NAVY LEAGUE. NEED FOR ADEQUATE FORCES. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received July 26, 9.35 a.m. LONDON, July 25. The intention to forln an Army League, on somewhat similar lines to the Navy League, was announced in a report addressed to the Government by Mr L. C. M. S. Amery, Lord Lloyd, Lord Milne and others. The league will stress the need for adequate land forces, assist recruiting and recommend better pay and conditions.
