§ LORD EUSTACE CECILasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it was true that the Government had offered 25 commissions in the Army to be competed for by graduates of the Military College in Canada; and, if so, whether it was in contemplation to offer similar advantages to candidates from other Colonies who might be properly qualified?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONIn addition to the four commissions usually granted to that institution, 26 commissions in the Army have this year been offered to duly qualified graduates and cadets of the Royal Military College, Kingston, Canada. The Dominion of Canada is the only Colony which pos- 661 sesses a Military College; but the War Office is also in communication with the Colonial Office on the subject of offering, this year, a limited number of commissions in the Imperial Army to members of the local Military Forces of the Colonies.
