DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH TROOPS
TO MAINTAIN THE WORLD'S PEACE
Army of the Rhine Consists of 264,000 Men -Over 120,000 in.
France -10,000 to Aid in Adjusting Trouble Between
Italy and Hugo -Slays.
A despatch from London says:-
The approximate distribution of the
650,000 troops which Great Britain
proposes to keep under arms until the
world is again at peace was explained
by War Secretary Churchill in the
House of Commons recently,
The distribution of troops, the Sec-
retary said, would be as follow: In
Great 13ritaim, 170,000; in France,
120,000; army on the Reline, 264,000.
In Italy- and adjacent regions, Mr.
Churchill addel, there would be 1.0,01,0
men, in order to adjust the lamentable
difference which had arisen between
Italy asci the Ju„o Slays, saying:
"We are keeping. snial.l forces of
British tto lei there in many locali-
ties ?she! t"e troops of no other na-
tion v tui I lee welcome. We have
been asl:ee to do this in conjunction,
weal our Befit.: , because it has been
found that tlheee troops email prevent
troubles i;c.• ::; • n the lova' popalntians
merely by thew pe.' en(o dur•iug the
periinl wca are t;'ylug to settle thiugs."
This wee, c : Conine, continued the
Secretary, -dove et the leg -met and by
the desire of lath forum , who felt
that otherwise thee!? e r igtit be a g1•aee

had been reached at the, Peace .Con-
ference. . •
In Mesopotamia, Great Britain had
80,000 men. After emphasizing the
smallness of the number of troops
actually in Russia, Mr. Churchill said
that if Russia did not exist the bill
would still be necessary. In North
Russia and Siberia there were some-
thing like 20,000 men out of a total
of 859,000, British troops comprising
the contemplated army of occupation
in the various areas during this' trying
period. From these 859,000 men it
would be necessary to deduct 208,000,
who were not combatants in any sense.
"To secure peace and tranquility
throughout the immense regions thee
have fallen into our hands during the.
tear and to secure fulztlntent of ,the
peace treaty and to enable us, in con-
junction with our allies, to influence
a settlement in Europe." said Mr.
Churchill, 'the total forces we pro-
pose to keep at our disposal are thusl
approximately 630,000 r,1en."
Referring to e speeeh by a Deeel e•
who had attributed the situation in
Egypt to the military Gaveraruent of
the country, Mr. Churchill remarked
that, whatever alight be said, British..
soldiers soil British generals were
More in demand in every country of
the world tie lawgivers and pacibiers
than the meth:ere of any other ,coun-
try. As a matter of fact, British rule
ander which Egypt had prospered so
enormously, Ile asserted, never lead
been military, but civilian. Of course,
le time of wa:, exceptional eteps had
to bet inn, but the country lead been
1dnlin;; tered through civilian authuri,

and the fact that Odessa is being re-

ing a profound inclination for good re-

The Roumanian armies, in cooper-

(Hungary, 145 miles southeast et
Budapest), have received orders to oc-
cupy the new line of demarcation as
fixed by the Paris conference, accord-

Exploring Party Drifted
9 Months in Arctic Circle
A. despatch from Fairbanks, Alas-

tic explorer, probably will arrive this
week at Fort Yukon, Alaska, on his
way to the outside from Herschel
Island and the Arctic Ocean, accord-
ing to word brought here by Captain
Alex. Allen, Arctic trader and navi-
gator.
Storkerson and four men recently
landed on the northern Arctic ooast
after drifting nine months on an ice-
berg. They set out with the hope
that the ice -pack would carry them
west to the low Siberian islands. In-
stead, it carried them about in -a
circle and landed them 73 miles from
their starting point. Storkerson was
a member of Stefansson's party, and
took command of the expedition

GEN. ALLENBY RESTORES Interior of Farman Aero Bus Between Paris and London

An interior view of the comfortable passenger quarters in the Far-

its initial flight between the two capital cities, and carrying fourteen Peo-
ple, the giant Aeroplane ".the Farman Goliath made the 11:gilt to Lou-
don in the leinrikable time of 1.60 minutes and returned in 190 minutes.
It may be recollected that prior to the war the fastest train and boat
service between the two cities was six hours and forty-five minutes. All
the passengers were delighted with their experience. Crossing the Chan-
nel the machine flew at a height of 1,500 meters. Dinner was served
aboard the machine and the passengers spent the remaining time playing
cards. Mr. Farman, the originator of the air "route, is studying many new
air routes and ono of the first which will shortly be inaugurated will be
