Italy and JugtOESlays. 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- retarysaid, would be as follows: In Great Britain, 176,000; in France, 120,000; army on the Rhine, 264,000. In Italy and adjacent regions, Mr. Churchill added, there would be 10,000 men, in order to adjust the lamentable differences which had arisen between Italy and the Jugo•SlaYs, saying: "We are keeping small forces of British troops there in many loeaai- ties where the troops of no other na- tion would be welcome. We 10a40 been asked to do this in conjunction with our allies, because it has been found that these troops` could prevent merely by their presence during the approximately 650,000 Wren." Referring to a speech by a Deputy had been reached at the Peace Con- ference. In Mesopotentia, (treat Britaiu had 30,000 men. Atter emphasizing the smallness . of the number of troops actually in Russia, Mr. Churchill said that if Russiadid not exist the bill would rrtiai be necessary.* In North Russia and Siberia there wore some- thing like 20,000 men out of a total of 869,000, British troops comprising the contemplated array of occupation in the various areas during this trying period. From these 859,000 men it would be necessary to deduct 203,000, who were not combatants in any s'euse. "To secure peace and tranquility throughout the immense regions that have fallen into our hands during the war and to secure fuliirment of the peace treaty and to enable ns, in co - '' junotionith our allies, to influence r a 'settlement in Europe," said Churchill, "the total forces we pro- pose to keep at our disposal aro thus troubles. at local the populations period we are trying to settle things. This was. 'of course, continued the Secretary, done at the request and by the desire of both parties, who felt that otherwise there aright be a grave political situation, and there were no troops anywhere engaged on a more merciful and beneficent task. In the Ivliddle East and the Caucas- us there were 75,000 men, and he hoped that they might be substantial- ly reduced in the near future. These who had attributed the situation in Egypt to the military Government of the country, Mr. Churchill remarked that, whatever might be said; British soldiers and British generals were more in demand in every country of the world as law -givers and pacifiers than the soldiers of any other coun- try. As a matter of fact, British rule under which Egypt had prospered so enormously, he asserted, never had been military, but civilian. Of'course, troops had been there to expel Turks in time of war, exceptional steps had and Germans, and wore there now to be taken, but the country had been merely to keep the people from flying administered through civilian authori- at each other's throats until decisions ties.

The Roumanian armies, in co-oper- ation with the French forces at Arad (Hungary, 145 miles southeast of Budapest), have received orders to oc- cupy the new line of demarcation as fixed by the Paris conference, accord- ing to an announcement issued by the Roumanian Press Bureau. The allies armies have been received enthusias- tically by the various populations who are living in constant fear of a Bol- shevik! invasion. Important developments on the Mur- mansk front may be expected in a few days owing to a threatened do0eo- tion of Finnish troops, according to the Mail. It is said that it was to meet this danger that American de- tachments were sent on two American cruisers, which vrill reach iilurmanak early next, week. Other allied rein- forcements are being prepared. President Wilson is reported to have ordered the sailors of the two cruisers to land with the troops, if necessary.
