London, Cable. -(Reuter despatch)
-Weneton Churchill, IP a memoran-
dum on the strength of the army, says
recruiting is proceeding satisfactorily,
209,000 voluntary recruits having al-
ready been obtained. If the present
rate of enlistment is maintained the
probability is that all men who actual-
ly tought in the war will be re-enlist-
ed before April 30th next.
Since the armistice nearly three mil-
lions have been demobilized, the ag-
gregate remaining on the strength,
including volunteer regulars, being
1,200,000. By the end of the year this
figure will be reduced by about one-
half, leaving approximately 600,000
men under arms.
For the present no reduction can be
made in the strength of the armies in
the middle east, including Egypt and
India. It Is hoped, however, that all
demobilized men in India will be re-
placed •by regulars by the end of the
year. In the case of the middle eatt,
it will be necessary to effect relief by
sending drafts released from the arm-
ies of occupation. These drafts will
in turn be releived by regular troops
as soon as those are available. -

•
London cable: The British air-
ship, N. Sala, which loft Putham last
night on a 48-hour flight, Is believed
to have been struck by lightning and
the crew of seven lost. The N. S.41
Was engaged in mine -sweeping opeia
tions.
Wreckage of the airship, which was
of the non -rigid type and which had
been, engaged in observation work
near Cromer, for the mine -sweepers,
.was washed ashore at Cromer to -day.
The airship exploded and crashed
into the seeiu flame a half-hour after
midnight Tuesday morning. Accord-
ing to eye -witnesses of the disaster, a.
second explosioa took place es the air-
craft was falling Into the sea, where
the mass of wreckage fleeted on tha
surface and burned for some time af-
terward.
There was a heavy thunderstorm
raging at the time and the sapposition
was that the N. S.-11 was struck by
lightning.
The dirigible, which was one of the
smaller type, was built to carry a crew
of 10 or 12 persons, but according to
the latest reports, there were only two
officers and five men aboard at the
time of the disaster. Early in the
present year the N. S.-11 carried out a
number of endurance flights over the
North Sea, establishing a record for
the non -rigid airship by remaining in
the air on one occasion for more than
four days and covering a distaace esti-
mated at 5,000 miles.
Only one other British airship has
met with disaster through fire in the
air, this being an experimental craft
which was undergoing a trial in
Scotland. The entire crew of the air-
ship was lost.

chief of the British military mission,

ports that Gen. LenthIne is an ambit-
ious reactionary and flatly denied charg-
es that he was guilty or atrocities. He
declared that the charges 'Were prompted

As proof of what he said, Gen. Briggs

eral local autonomy or self-government,

African Leader Makes Out Good Case In
Urging Reconciliation,
Irish Question Worst In Empire -Favors
Friendly Relations With Russia.
London, Cable.-LieutaCol, Senate,
in his farewell message, in which he
advocated a reconciliation with Ger-
many, Made an alipeal for an abiding
faith in high ideate, despite what he
terms the disillusions produced by the
peace treaty. Ho Says Oita fundamen-
tal significance of the war has been a
victory, spiritually and morally over
the material factors, a victory of the
finer elements of human nature over
the ;laser, anti lance there should be
no bitterness tett in the minds et the
peoples.
He pleads for appeasement and re-
conciliation as the only means for the
regeneration of exhausted Europe,
which, he says, is the most awful
sPectacle in history,
"A brutal fact," Gen Smuts contin-
Iles, "is that Britain is a very small
isind, on the face of a continent in
watch 70,000,000 Germans represent a
most important and formidable na-
tional faetor. -You cannot have
stable Europe without a stable and
settled Germany; you cannot ;lave a
stable and settled Britain While Eur-
ope is weltering in confusion. There-
fore, the appeasement of Germany be-
come s of first importance."
• General Smuts, in urging encourage -
men al of the republican administration
in Germany, says the issue probably
will be decided in Germany, and that
Preaident Ebert "deserves our backing
and encouragement."
• "Do not let us deal with Ebert as
We have dealt with Kerensky and
Karolyi (former Premier and Presi-
dent respectively; of Russia and Hun-
garS)-with results eeyond recall to-
day," the statement of Gen. Smuts
concludes.
Dealing with questions concerning
the Empire and the Dominions, Gen.
Sit -tuts says the most pressing of all
is the leash question.
"It .b.as become a chronic wound,
whose septic effects are spreading to
our whole system, and, through its
influence on America is beginning to
poison our most vital foreign rola-
tams," says Gen. Smuts. "Unless it is
settled on the great principles which
form the basis of this Empire this
Empire must cease to exist. Our
statesmen in Paris .dealt wita radical
problems resembling Ireland's and in
every way as difficult as the Irish
problem, and they may not ehrina
Empire must cease to exist. . . .Our
medicine they -applied to Bohemia and
many another parts et Europe."
Gen. Smuts regarded whole chapters
of the peace treaty as nothing, com-
pared with the supreme importance of
having a stable, democratic republic,
in Germany represented on the League
of Nations. He expresses doubt of
the wisdom of the policy which seems
to be pursued towards Russia, and
declares that Russia can only be sav-
ed internally by the Russians them-
selves working on Russian methods
and ideas. He says:
"Our military forces, tanks and war
materialmay temporarily bolster up
one side, but the real magnitude of the
problem is ,quite beyond such expe-
dients."
Ile urges the Allies to. leave Russia
alone, remove the blockade, and
adopt a policy of friehdly neutrality
and impartiality to all factions.
"It may well be," he continues,
"that the only ultimate hope for Rus-
sia i a sobered, purified Soviet sys-
tem, and that may be far better than
barbarism, to which our present policy
seems inevitably tending. Be patient
with sick Russia, give her time and
sympathy, and await the results of her
conva leseence."

TO THE MEMORY: OF THE DEAD.
• %he most touelliag and emotiOnal
of all were .the scenes around the
great cenotaph* erectea in Whitehall
to the memory of the dead, expressive
by its severe simplicity and bearing,.
the single inscription: "The glertous
dead." Here the cheering was .stilled
as successively Pershing, Foch,' Haig
and the other great war leaders drew
rein, faced the cenotaph and 'saluted.
The great feature of the night cele-
bration was the singing and. the fire-
works in Hyde Park, A trained choir
of ten thousand sang the natiOnal
anthems of the allies, "The Hallelujah
Chorus" and several -hymns. No loss
than 100,000 voices joined in the sing -
Ina, while massed bands accompanied
with enormous effect.
Rain fell throughout the night, but
did not interfere with the programme.
There were illuminations, fireworks
and searchlights all around Louden,
ard the whole population of the 'city
seemed to have poured into the parks
and streets. The singing and dal:icing
kept up until after midnight.
