ASQU|TH CALLING
MORE VOLUNTEERS
/. TO BRITISH COLORs
Premier Declares England Must
Steel Herself for Long and
Bloody Conflict and Appeals
for More Recruits.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-Premier Asquith
appealed to the men of England today
to volunteer for military service. De-
spite the rapid enlistment that has
been proceeding since Lord Kitchener
called for an additional army of 600.-
600 men. it has not been fast enough
to suit the government, which recog-
nizes that the conflict Will be long.
In concluding his appeal to the
country for more volunteers the pre-
mier says:
I'VE are at present watching the
early stages Of what is going to be a
protracted struggle. so we must steel
ourselves to the task and persevere to
the end"
In the early part of his appeal
Premier Asquith has said:
England has in France and Russia
two Of the greatest powers. Not one
intends to separate from the others.
Two divisions of magnificent British
Indian troops are enroute to the front.
Their association with the British SOL
diers and the Dominion troops will
maintain our flag which no arms shall
ever dissever or dishonor.
Expect Long Struggle.
Premier AsQuith made 1t plain that
the government looks for a long, hard
struggle and that England must call
still further upon the resources OF the
empire before she can hope for VIC
tory.
The premier made his appeal to the
L.. kaf a
mass meeting at Guild hall. he SAID
that between ESQ, ,000 and 500, 600 men
had already enlisted, but that more
were needed. His announcement OF
the vast enrolment that had already
taken place was greeted with a tu-
multuOus cheer, all those in the great
hall applauding.
Give Premier support
With the premier on the speaker 5
stand were A. Bonar Law, the union
ist leader and political foe OF Mr.. As
Quith. ana ex-Premier Arthur j. Bal
four Both supported the plea voiced
by the premier. Mr.. Law saying:
Until the war is brought 10 a
triumphant close the premier must be
the mOuthpiece OF the nation. His
words should be needed.
The key TO peace or war for near
" a generation was Berlin. The head
OF the Berlin government had but TO
whisper peace and there would have
been no war. He did not speak that
word. but drew the sword. May the
accursed system he represents perish
by it.
But for the navy England's fate
would have been the same as Bel
gums"
BalfOur Also Voices Plea.
Mr. BalfOur followed IN similar
strain and when he concluded the
