 It is said that the government is con fident of it's ability to pass the bill through all stages in fortnight; that is, several days before Parliament would die a natural death. but for the bill prolong- ing it's life The bill has still to run the gauntlet of it's final stages and if ob- structive tactics should be adopted with regard to the compulsory recruiting meas ure, it might still be possible for the min isters to resort to a general election as an exit from difficult situation
 This, however, is not regarded prob able. In fact, the feeling in political quarters tonight Is more confident than ever that the crisis will entail no resg- nr ton of importance. The fact that the King returned to Sandringham last night seems to confirm this view.

 General Attack On All Points Predicted

London, December 30,-Two new land ings by the entente allies in the near east are reported today. The British have transferred some troops from Salonikl to Orfano, d small Greek port GO miles east of Saloniki with the intention of thus checking any possibility of hos tile advance from this quarter. The sec ond landing was made by the French on the Greek island of Castelorizo, off the southeast coast of Asia Minor not far from the important seaport of Adalia.
 An Athens dispatch says that the oc- equation of Adalia is the object of the landing railway runs north of Adalia. and the presence there of strong enN tente force would menace the communica- tion of any hostile force operating against Egypt or the lower Tigris region.
 These movements indicate that the en- tente allies positions around Saloniki are now considered secure. and indications are that the campaign around Salonki will develop into long drawn out war fare as on other fronts

It the entente capitals, however. there Is general opinion that the Russian cam paign in Bessara bia, which has been un- dertaken In the face of unfavornble weather conditions. is likely to have an important bearing on the whole war sit- uation.

 Russian joint operations with Rou- mania are on the point of beginning Roumania will fight with us, although not for us. Her siding with the entente is not the result of French or English sympathies, but endeavor to realize the Roumanian dream of sovereignty over Bukowna and Pennsylvania. As prepa- ration for Roumania's entry into the wan. Russla's aim is to reconquer Bukowina for the benefit of her new ally This task can be accomplished in a few weeks.
 The Roumanians will then fortify the new province and march with the Rus sans through Bulgaria and Pennsylvania. while simultaneously the Italians, French. British and Servians will deal blows on other fronts.'

MATHEW SCHMIDT
 IS FOUND GUILTY
Jury Fixes Punishment at Life Imprisonment-Im-
 plicated in Explosion

Los Angeles December 30-Mathew A. Schmidt was convicted tonight of first degree murder as the accompice of James B. McNamara in the blowing up of the Los Angeles Times building here five years ago.
 The specific charge was of having mur- dered Charles Hagerty, one of the 20 vic- tins of the Times explosion. The jury was out 46 minutes.
 The jury fixed Schmidt's punishment at imprisonment for life, the same penalty imposed on James B. McNamara after years ago that he placed the bomb which blew up the newspaper plant
 David Caplan, another alleged accom- plice of McNamara, who was arrested last February is in jail awaiting trial also on the charge of having murdered Charles Hagerty.
 The courts charge to the jury had been regarded as distinctly favorable to the defendant and the verdict came as g surprise to Schmidt and his counsel. Schmidt. however. heard it without show of emotion.
 Time for the imposition of sentence upon Schmidt was fixed for next Mon day and his counsel will then interpose motion for new trial. It was agreed that argument on this motion should be heard January 12.
 Nathan Coghlan,, Schmidt s chief coun- sel said if the motion for a new trial was denied the case would be carried to the highest courts.
