Air Vote Snap Division Polled In British Army Debate
In a House of Commons center stage debate on the army vote the chief topic was the lack of aeroplanes. War Secretary Seely said 40 percent of planes were under repair and 90 were on order. Flying school cadets logged 100 400 miles without incident while the military covered 195 000 miles. The proposed reduction to the vote failed 280 to 247 as Conservatives tried a snap division thwarted by Nationalists who used detectives to monitor London termini and observed returning Unionists.
