TO BORROW $500, 100000:
ENGLAND WANTS $1,000. nm nm

LONDON, November 13.-It is report
ed In the parliamentary lobbies that
Premier Asquith Tuesday will ask par
liament's sanction for the raising of
1000, 900 additional troops for the pur-
poses of the war. thus bringing the
total up to 100000 men.
Much interest is shown in the fnanc-

the government intends to issue a war
loan of $1,000, 100000 or more. probably
at per cent. and redeemable within
ten years.
1t is estimated that Great Britain is
spending $35 100000 weekly on the war
and in addition to the war loan the
government may propose to raise a
further $3.50, 100000 by increasing the
income tax to half crown on the
pound. This would provide for the
necessary expenditure till next March.

SAFETY ASSOCIATION MAY ACT.
President Peabody Favors Regula-
ton of Sale of Weapons.

Pointing out that 6.533 persons were
killed by firearms in 1911 in the regis
tration of the census bureau, William
F. Peabody. president Of the Washing
ton Safety Association, today declared
himself emphatically in favor of regu-
lations to prevent the promiscuous sale
Of weapons in the District. 1t Is high
ly probable that action looking toward
this will be taken by the board Of di-
rectors OF the Washington Safety AS
sociation when it meets next week.
I'VE point with horror to the great
losses of life in the European war"
said President Peabody today, yet in
the registration area of the United
States in 1911 6.533 persons came to
their death through firearms. OF these
1850 were suicides. 2,347 were homi-
cides and 1927 cases were the results
of accident or were underlined.
Shooting proved by far the most
widely used method Of murder. The
total number of homicides was 1907,
and of this portion 2,347 cases were by
firearms Next In popularity were in
struments of a cutting or piercing ma
ture, and these totaled but 63s. All
other means employed. added together,
were but 922.
IN suicides firearms proved the most
popular of methods. with but one ex-
ception This was poison. Yet the
total of those who died by poison of all
| the various sorts and kinds was but
1927, as against the 1850 scored by
firearms. The next two methods
dropped more than a thousand below
these two marks.
| "In accidental deaths resulting from
firearms, of the total of 1927 persons
killed the highest number of any group
| fell between 10 and 10 years of age
494. The group just above this (be-
| tween 20 and 29 years) had the next
highest number of deaths-279. Other
groups showing the next highest totals
were as follows, Between and 8
years. 101: 40 and 49 years. 107: be-
tween 80 and 80, 165 deaths. The point
/ would make is that the greater num-
her of accidental deaths from firearms
occurred in the cases of youthful and
quite probably reckless persons.
"In view of all this 1t certainly seems
that some rigid action should be taken
to prevent firearms from falling into
the hands of irresponsible persons I'm
doubtedly the District should have
some method Of curbing their sale"

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The French official statement
today asserted that several at
tempts of Germans to cross the
User canal, around which has oc-
cured some of the most deadly
struggles of the war, were
checked. These attempted adj
vances were made at the western
outlet from Dixmude, which the
Germans wrested from the allies
a few days ago, and the way
along which the Germans sought
to push their forces led straight
to Dunkirk on the channel. At
tacks around Ypres also were re-
pulsed, the French announced.
The Berlin official statement
refers to heavy fighting on the
seacoast, near Nieuport, where, it
is said, German marines have in
flicted heavy losses on the enemy.
At Ypres, to the south, claim is
made to another German victory,
with the capture Of 1900 pris-
oners.
Vienna states that the cam
paign against the Servians is pro-
ceeding successfully, and that the
enemy has been forced to abandon
fortified positions and is in full
retreat Fighting centers along
the banks of the river Save,
which separates northwestern
Servia from Austria. At one
position, according to Austrian
reports, 1900 Servians were Cap
tured.
In the Caucasus the fighting
continues with severity, and con-
Trajectory claims are made.
Great Britain is calling for an
other million men to pour into
the war. A supplementary esti-
mate providing for this force was
introduced today in the house of
commons.
Indications point to another
naval battle in the Pacific. The
German feet apparently is re-
naming close to the South
American coast, and reports from
various places suggest that Japa-
nese and British warships are
drawing in on the Germans. The
safe arrival was reported at Val
paraiso, Chile, of the German
cruisers Leipzig and Dresden.
