SIR GARNET WOLSELEY ON CONSCRIPTION. Sir Garnet Wolseley, G.C.B., presided on Monday night at the annual public debate of the University College Debating Society, Gower-street, London, and it having been proposed that Conscription ought to be introduced into England," and decided in the negative, the gallant General pointed out that con- scription held good in France for supplying the number of men annually required for the Army prior to 1870 but it was a system into which the ele- ments of chanoe entered largely. It was, in fact, a tax imposed by lot, and therefore the worst that could be devised. Universal service in Germany was of a different kind. In that country every man must be a soldier, and a great deal, as far as the training was concerned, could be said in its favour. On the other hand, the disadvantages were numerous. A distin- guished German general had said to him No one but ourselves can realise the burden which universal service imposes upon us, and he believed that to be true. He had had some little experience m warfare— (cheers)-and he could safely say that if he had any dangerous or serious work to perform, he always preferred the services of one man who volunteered to do it to two whom he had to order. Enough volunteers could be procured in England to supply the deficiency in the army without any resort to Soldiers could always be obtained in the labour market- and not conscripts, but voluntee.rs.
