ARMY OF MILLION
VOTED In ENGLAND
Under Secretary for War
Thinks This Will Be
Sufficient.

London, Nov. 20.-The House OF
Commons to-day formally passed the
vote for the supplementary army es-
innate, which provides for an addi-
tional army Of 100000 men.
This is tho additional million men
mentioned by Premier Asquith in the
House Of Commons last Monday II is
quite apart from the terrtorials, and
IS additional to the 100000 men said
10 be under arms.
Referring TO the supplementary esti-
mate, Harold J. Tenant, Under Secre-
tary of State for War, said the official
view was that this further million men
ought to be sufficient, so far as the
government was able 10 see at pres
ent, 10 crown British arms with sue
cess. He declined TO give the actual
numbers Of men enlisted, but he re-
marked that the figures recently given
by the Prime Minister, which were
roughly in the neghborhood of 1,100,.
900, were below rather than above the
actual total.
The present idea Of the War Office,
Mr.. Tenant continued, was 10 dupli-
cate the territorial force, making one
battalion for home defence and the
other for foreign service.
With regard TO the suggestions that
Lord Kitchener's army OF recruits
should be treated differently to the
professional soldiers, Mr.. Tenant re-
marked. "The chief characteristic OF
Lord Kitchener is not sentiment, and
not even persuasive eloquence. These
advocates Of differential treatment
would make him change his decision IN
a matter on which he feels strongly"

jority Of the House Of Representatives.
After careful consideration Of the
problem Of national defence from the
viewpoints Of diplomacy and finance,
said the Premier, "the ministry has
come 10 the conclusion that the inter
national situation does not permit the
poStponement of an increase in the
army"
The Premier admitted that the great
or part OF me money saved by re-
trcnchments effected in recent years
which had been intended for home un-
dertakings, has had to be used for war
expenses. Nevertheless, the Cabinet
favored two more divisions in the army
and an increase in the navy.

count declared, ION the ground Of our
growing intimacy with Russia. The
ministry is doing its best 20 advance
this intimacy, but this satisfactory
diplomatic relationship is no reason for

Der that the solidarity of the Anglo.

CONTRABAND LIST
u. S. Will Reserve Right to
Object in Specific
Cases.
From The Tribune Burssu. ]

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The United
States will make no general protest
against the absolute and conditional
contraband list submitted to the State
Department on October 81 by the Brit
ish Ambassador. but will reserve the
right to object if specific cases Of seiz-
ure warrant complaints.
This policy was outlined by State De-
partment officials to-day in response TO
inquiries. Manufacturers of sutomo-
biles and other vehicles who have re-
ceiyed orders from Germany have been
particularly anxious 70 have the State
Department make some arrangement
whereby they could fill these orders
without danger of loss.
Officials point out that merchants
and manufacturers of the United States
have a perfect legal right to sell their
products TO belligerents and that there
is no international law 70 prohibit such
sales, except where this country is
made the base for Quitting an expedi-
ton TO n belligerent country. II is
made clear, however, that shipments
are made at the risk Of the shipper so
far as this government is concerned II

traband ban Of a belligerent

LORD ANGLESEY AT
HONE FOR CLOTHES
War Spells Wealthy Marquis's
Wardrobe - Predecessor
Had 800 Goats.

London, Nov. 20.-The reason why
the Marquis Of Anglesey, one of the
wealthiest peers in England, suddenly
returned from France a ttw days ago,
and after remaining in the Ritz Hotel
twenty-four hours, fastened back TO
rejoin his regiment, has just been re-
vealed. II appears that Lord Anglesey
was forced to apply for brief leave
because he actually didn't have coat
TO his back. The ordinary wear and
tear Of campaigning started the work
of demolition on a khaki uniform of a
somewhat fragile quality, designed by
a fashionable tailor. and piece Of
shrapnel completed it by ripping the
whole back out, yet without woundlng

The marquis had two uniform coats

BRITAIN REFUSES TO
LET u. S. HAVE WOOL
Declines to Modify Embargo on
Imports from Australia
ard Other Places.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Great Britain
has declined TO modify in favor Of
American manufacturers the embargo
on expectation of wool from Australia
and other British dominions. IL had
been hoped that after the needs Of the
British army had been satisfied Ameri-
cans might be permitted TO buy the
Australian surplus, giving guarantees
that neither the wool nor goods made
from it would reach Austria or Ger
many, but the State Department was
informed to-day that for the present
at least no exceptions would be made.
In spite of the lack of advance as
surance, however, officials here and in
terested manufacturers still are con-
fldent that there will be a modification
later.
Ii Is understood that the decision Of
the British Privy Council as to wool
applies also to rubber.
