CABINET FOR COMPULSION
iru-d sran rirat lase
portunlty after the reasiemblin: of
I'arlisment
It W believed that the actual resolu
tion oa the new policy has been pot
noned until another rneetln; of the
Cabinet on Thursday and that In the
short Interval Mr. As-iulth will ba em
ployed In rxerttns the strongest In
fluence to avert disruption of hi Cab
inet. It Is still possible that a crisis
mar be averted.
The Importance, a far a military
operation, and political prestige Is con
cerned, of tha Minister presenting; a
united front to the nation and her
allies, to eay rvothtbg of the effect
produced by disruption In encouraging
th enemy, la fully grasped, and this
Influence cannot fail to have Ita effect.
There I a further poasiblltty to be
considered. This Is that the announce
ment of an Immense number appli
cation would have such an Immediate
effect on the laggards that It may never
become necessary to put the measure
In operation. .
Tarvat May Ba Effective.
Should tha ttk Intervening; before
the Introduetloai of Uio Mil show such
a sudden rush of recruiting aa to Jus
tify tha bop that It would b unneces
sary to reaort to rompul.on. there will
ba a great chance for the Cabinet to
preaarva Its unity. Premier Asqulth
has always showp a remarkable faculty
of holding Ms Cabinet together, and It
would not b surprising to find that
the mere threat of compulsion would
bava the effect of dispersing all of the
governments difficulties lo thl re
spect. Keglna'd MVKenna. Chancellor of tn
Exchequer: Walter Kunclman. president
of the Hoard of Trade, and tli labor
Minister. Arthur Henderson, are re
garded as the most likely to realm.
Other known opponents of compulsion
aro Louis Herxourt. Fir John A. Simon.
Thomas McKlnnoo Wood and Mir Stan
ley O. Iiuckmaeter.
Th fact that Premier Astulth has
been able to make tb muracolou an
nouncement that In his opinion the time
ha arrived when step should b taken
to prepare for conscription, howovcr,
must hava bad an enormous effect
upon th most determined of the sup
porters of tha voluntary plan, and it
Is believed that there will, at the most,
only be a few resignations.
Irlah Oppasltlea Pasaloaate.
In tha House of Commons th bill I
almost certain to meet a decided op
position from th Irish and labor mem
bers. Tha Irish opposition I so pas
sionate that there are even rumor that
Ireland will be deliberately excluded
from the operations of tha contem
plated bliL
Tba labor party, while it la distinctly
antl-conscrlptlonist. ao far haa not
actually bound Ita representative In
Parliament and In th Cabinet on the
question, and. although Arthur Hender
son and two other labor Ministers,
William Brace and George Robert, re
gard themselves as committed definite
ly to the voluntary policy, the attitude
of tho party may possibly undergo a
modification In view of tha opinion
that the Premier la supporting the mil
itary authorities and that the circum
stances make compulsion urgent. Much
will depend on tho effect of the
Premier's exposition of the situation or
the revelation of Lord Derby'a recruit
ing figure next week. Until then no
resignation are likely to be presented.
Derby Oppose Pea (pea ena en t.
It Is understood that all proposals to
give the Derby scheme another trial
for a fortnight were firmly opposed by
Lord Derby himself, on the ground that
It would only postpone, not solve, tbe
problem. In this view Lord Derby waa
supported by tbe Premier himself.
Moreover. Information ha been given
to the Cabinet at It last two meeting
that single men falling to respond in
sufficient number bad much to do
with what must ba regarded as tbe con
version of the Cabinet to the compul
sory policy.
Tha same reason which Induced the
acquiescence of the Cabinet In the com
pulsion policy, ao alien to English
Ideals, may be expected to bare a sim
ilar effect on Parliament and the na
tion, and hence little la to be heard of
the likelihood of aa appeal to the coun
try by a general election.
The pre.a again haa divided Itself
Into two groups, which may moat read
ily be defined a for and against the
government. Th latter group Insist
that the Cabinet Is hopelessly divided,
and must surely split on th situation
created by the result of th Derby
scheme, while the former group de
clares that tha alleged crista la largely
the product of excited agitation by tbe
Northclirf presa and that auch differ
ences as exist In the Cabinet are still
capable of being merged Into a com
mon policy If the task la not made Im
possible by outside agitators.
lagl Mra Fall "hart.
Many persons believe that tha truth
probably lies somewhere In the middle
ground between these two views. It is
admitted that difficulties hava arisen
In connection with tba Derby figures;
that in certain part of the country
single men have not enrolled In auch
number aa would warrat an Impartial
tribunal In declaring that only a neg
ligible percentage remain outside.
Premier Asqulth'a pledee. as given
In an open letter to Earl Derby, stands
good, and the Cabinet I agreed It must
be fulfilled in the letter and spirit. For
the government know full well that
tha premier s unequivocal pledge to the
married man was the sole reason for
the wholesale response of the married
men. l"p to the moment of that dec
laration the married men held back,
but aa aoon as Mr. Asqulth's pledge
wa given they stepped forward in
numbers which aero a surprise even
to Lord Derby.
Fleet lea Is Net Expected.
In view of Premier Asqulth's recent
announcement In the House of Com
mon that a general election In tha
present clrcumstancea would be a na
tional calamity, no one except those
battling expressly for or agalnat com
pulsory service a-lth any weapon that
comes lo band gives credence to the
ugge.tlon that any preponderlng sec
tion of the Cabinet will support any
such resolution at thla time, with fully
one-third of the voters of the country
on the fighting line.
The appointment of a successor to
Baron Hardin se. Viceroy to India. Is
expected at an early date and If the
rumor that a member of the Cabinet
will be selected to fill the post be cor
rect that would obvlou!v lead to a
rearrangement of tha existing; office.

NEW AIM INARMY PLAN
(for.tlnued From First Tsre I
Each military district would ba called
on for 331 recruits annually. In the
event that compulsory service Is decid
ed iimiti. It is said, the only action
necessary would bo to authorise in
Wr Department In any year wnen tne
quota of recruit from any district has
r.ot been made up voluntarily by a pre
determined date, to draft the neces.sry
men for that purpose from the portion
of the population of the dtatrct liable
for military service.
Inadeaaacy la Adssltted.
Advocate of th Administration plan
say that th 400.000 men with th col
ors and 400.000 reserve proposed to be
nroduced within six year will not con
stitute a force adequate to the needs -f
the Nation, and thay do not contend that
tha proposed two months of Intensive
training esch year for three years is
sufficient to make a soldier. They do
not believe It possible to secure more
than 10 days' training annually under
a purely voluntary system.
Efforts of the department officials
first will bo directed toward convincing
Congress that the urgent thing Is to
get the machinery for a cltlxcn army
created, the arms, ammunition and sup
plies necessary piled up. mobilisation
points selected and equipped, coast de
fense extended and Improved In a
word, the foundation laid upon which
such features aa universal military
service, extension of the general staff
of scientific control and the amount
of training necessary for the continen
tal troops may be superimposed later.
There is no difference except In the
numbers of men and amount of train
ins. It la asserted, between the Secre
tary's proposals and those of the war
college divinion of the general staff.

ropuns, nuw uuiw..,
week ago. I spoke of the grand Jury
performance at White Plains as not
an investigation, but a conspiracy. The
result has Justified my assertion.
"Because I have run Sing Sing prison
with business honesty and efficiency,
I have made myself hated by the cor
rupt political element that has long
utilized the prison for their toul pur
poses. "Because I have reduced vice and
disorder to a minimum within the
prison, I have Incurred the hatred of
the few prisoners who had long en
Joyed special privileges at the ex
pense of their fellow.
"Because I have served the state to
the best of my ability the very ma
chinery of the law intended for the
protection of society has been prosti
tuted from ita high purpose to serve
the vilest end by means equally vile.
"I have no fear of the result. No
Jury will be blind enough, no court un
fair enough to carry this conspiracy
to ultimate success."
The warden was asked whether he
would give bail.
"So." he said, "I will not."
The Impression prevailed that the

When Thomas A. Edison's repre

"At the Ball, That's All, during their
New York Orpheum engagement, a
large contract was waiting for them
at their hotel the following morning.
As Edison usually gets what he
goes after, this original eong num
ber, and others by the team, were
sung into the recording device at the
Edison laboratories and are now in
cluded in the great list of Diamond
Disc records available to those hav

WILSON'S BIRTHDAY QUIET
PreMdent Works, Heads, Drives in
Snow, Dines In Peace.
HOT SPRINGS, Va., Dec. 28. On his
59th birthday. President Wilson worked
several hours, read hundreds of tele
grams of congratulation from people
from all over the country, took a long
automobile drive over snow-covered
mountain roads and In the evning had
a quiet birthday dinner with his wife
in their suite.
A lengthy letter from Secretary
Lansing reached the President In the
course of the day. It is understood to
have given a review of international
affairs, discussing particularly the sit
uation growing out of Austria's meth
ods of submarine warfare.
Among messages of congratulations
was one signed by all the members of
the Cabinet.

A NOVELTY
is worth something:, coming from two
vaudevillans who have practically
sang themselves around the world,
and have been toeether for nearly
twenty years, which is sure some rec- I
ora lor vauaevuie penormers.
It is probably worth something to
Tally & Mayo to hear themselves
"work," and after getting into Port
land introduced themselves at Graves
Music Co., 151 4th St., wanting to
hear the New Edison records and
didn't mind listening to themselves.
When Mr. Graves brought out "At
the Ball, That's All" then it hap
pened. They sang with the record
and without the record, they broke in
here and there with a little tenor,
then a little bass, and told a riddle or
two and those In the roqm simply
could not tell the difference between
the voice and the records.
All of which sounds very much like
a press agent's story and must be
heard to be really believed. Mr.
Graves, of Graves Music Co., was very
glad indeed to extend to Tally &
Mayo the use of one of Mr. Edison's
laboratory models of the Diamond
Disc Phonographs, to be used during
their Portland Orpheum engagement.
Incredulously inclined people should
hear this "tone test" during the
week, and satisfy themselves as to
whether Mr. Edison's claims as to the
recreation of music are all that they
are said to be. Anyway. It's a real
novelty and well worth the hearing.
