§ CAPTAIN NORTONI beg to ask the Secretary or State for War if he can state whether recruiting has been opened for the Home-Service Army; and, if not, when it is proposed to do so.
§ *MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERAs I explained to the House in debate on the Address, short-service enlistment will not be introduced until the full measure of the long-service element in the Army necessary to furnish the Indian drafts has been restored.
