British MiIitarist Campaign,

London, Aug. 23.-Thc British
militiarist campaign in favor of con
scription in taking definite shape So
rapidly that 1t will probably succeed
it is being pushed by the tory press
generally, but more especially by the
ultra-conseryative London Express,
which may fairly be taken as the
mouthpiece of the universal service"
movement.
The express urges explicitly that
every male should undergo a mini
mum of one years training, subject
to physical fitness and condition, period
to be extended to two or more years
until a certain standard OF efficiency be
attained. /"
The upper classes" do not, al
though militarists almost to man,
intend to be transformed into con
scripts along with the lower choose
unless they, choose. The PROPOSE
ton is TO allow exemption upon pay
ment Of q tax.
To the upper class" English mind
there does not appear to be anything
unfair in this arrangement, the typical
holding that gentleman" is entitled
to privileges which the common
herd" ought not to have because they
would not be good for it. And the
common herd" is generally inclined
to accept this reason as perfectly logi-
cal. No concealment is made OF the
fact that the militarist activity is in an
ticipation of making the issue an i'm
portant one in the next general election,
early next fall.

Some excitement was caused in the
vicinity of Market space about four
O'Clock yesterday evening by the report
of pistol in nearby house. and the
subsequent announcement that man
had been shot. A crowd soon gathered
when it was ascertained that Carlton
Acton, telegraph operator, had been
shot in the left foot by young man
named Kenneth Baggett, butcher IN
the city market. Officer Schoeni, i'm
mediately after the shooting, placed
Acton i'm carriage in which he was
taken to the Alexandria Hospital,
where he was attended by DIR. War
field He was later taken to his home,
Cos Princess street, where DIR. Jones,
the family physician, took charge OF
the case.
The statements in connection with
the shooting vary somewhat. Some
say the shooting was accidental and
others that it was due to the temporary
irresponsible condition OF Baggett. The
latter subsequently surrendered him
self to acting Lieutenant Roberts. He
was kept at the station house during
the night and had not given bond at
3 o'clack this afternoon.
The case was called. but as Acton
was unable to be present, it was con-
tinued.
II is said that Mr. Acton's wound is
not serious and Mr.. Baggett declares
that he had no intention whatever OF
shooting Mr.. Acton.
