COMPULSION -IS HELD;
UP UNTIL RECRUITING .
' IS BELOW STANDARD
Compromise May Postpone
Conscription Indefinitely,1
Ex pect toAdopt Plan.
London, April 21. (I. K. S.) The
political crisis Is over.
Following a two hour, conference of
the cabinet announcement was made
that a decision in regard to the re
cruiting problem has been arrived at.
King George, who closely foll6wed the
progress of recent events, was Im
mediately notified of the passing of
the ..crisis.
The compromise arrived at provides
that although the government hali
not now-adept general conscription. It
shall take powers - to -adopt it when
the figures of men enrolled in the
army fall below the 'Standard per
month required by the army council
for the rest of the year. ;
This may mean in practice that in
two or three months' time there will
be compulsion for unattested married
men, for the army council is makinar a
demand for 50,000 men In, the first
month and 15.000 a week tn the months
following up to the end of the year.
It depends on the additions coming to
the army from other sources, and If
the number of deferred men coming in
shortly lis as large as some have esti
mated, compulsion may be further
postDoned.
The government's proposals will be
submitted to both bouses at the secret
session to be held Tuesday. There is
no doubt that they Will be adopted.

Special to th International News Serrlca acd
London Daily Telegraph. -v
Milan, APril 21. CI. N. S.) I have
received reports of : conditions ' in
Vienna which indicate an 'inclination
on the. part of influential government
circles . to attempt one more to break
loose zxom Germany and recover free
dom or action for Austria and greater
Independence for Hungary. Refugees
who come here via Switzerland, con
firm that among' the better classes
that peace 1s Imminent and that nego
tiations will begin In a month or two.
The visit of Bron Burlan, Austrian
premier, to Berlin Is interpreted, by all
as connected with the forthcoming
pejice negotiation. He was received
by. the emperor and gave him an ac
count of his conversations with Im
perial Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-weg,
which, it is officially stated, were
on political subjects.
The Hungarians of the old inde
pendence school tire becoming' alarmed
and. with a certain, percentage of in
fluential Austrian, are becoming con
vinced - that.:1 Austria . wasVuredor
driven Into the war by false represen
tation from Germany. .Berlin then
dangled the mirage of extension Into
the Balkans before the eyes of the
Austro-Hungarlan . politicians, : while
now their object seems to have merely
been -Germany, Fan-Germanism and
ultimately to annex Austria : to the
German empire.
. Count Tissa. the Hungarian premier,
resisting this, tendency, realised that
the Hungarian aspirations of Inde
pendence can never be realized if Ger
many has her way. ' - . . .
Austria-Hungary, especially , s Hun-,
gary, threatens to strike out for her
self independently of Berlin and make
peace on honorable terms. She is fully
convinced there Is nothing more to be
gained by continuance ot the war.

Studebaker Gold Chassis Is
.Shown to Admiring Crowds
in Portland.
. Portland automobile circles C were
treated to a novelty yesterday which
attracted several 5 thousand to 1 the
showrooms of the Oregon Motor Car
company, where Is being displayed the
128.600 Studebaker gold chassis. : -
-This beautiful piece of the gold
smith's art arrived in Portland at noon
and was escorted through the streets
by a following of more- than 60 own
ers of Studebaker cars. .Heading the
cavalcade and mounted on a true It
was the glistening car, the logical suc
cessor to tha chariot of gold whicli
seemed to be the sensation of the age
of Jupiter and his family.
In every detail, the car Is Identical
with the chassis of any , Studebaker
Six, but every part, inside the' motor
and out every screw, every bolt, is
plated with gold.
With It is II. V. Basse tt, from the
educational department of the etude
baker corporation. Mr, Bassett tells
in detail how every part of the- chariot
la made, the trying Intricacies of the
steel mill which must be gone through
to build a ear which will do what the
motor owner demands. ' The chassis
will be there today and tomorrow. "
One of the newer vaouutm bottles can
be taken entirely apart for cleansing.
