I ONDON, December 29.-The crisis
which has arisen over the dues-
ton of rOnScriptiOn in England
shows no signs of abnting, and the an
nouncement that the cabinet has de-
cided upon modified form of compnl.
sorry service has added to, rather than
substracted, from the feeling that mat
tiers have reached n very serious stage.
The report is current mere that Pre-
mier Asquith will introduce into the
house of commons n bill empowering
the government to compel the unmar-
ried men of the empire TO take service
in the army. 1t is said that this meas
ure will be introduced this week, hut
there is no official statement upon
which to base this assertion. ".H
Meantime the opponents of conserip-
tion are hoping against hope that the
influx of recruits under the nlau pro
posed by Lord Derby, will be so great
that the advocates of compulsiOn will
abandon their stand, and so preserve
the coalition cabinet intact. -.
Should the enlistments fail to reach
the desired numbers it is practically
certain that the cabinet will fall. as
Messrs. McKenna and Runciman. and
others, are sure to resign if any scheme
of enforced service is proposed to par.

The proposition to prolong the work.
ing of the Derby plan is being bitterly
opposed by Lord Derby himself, on the
ground that it has but postponed and
not solved the settlement OF the prob
lem Of getting sufficient men to do
the work in the trenches. -. = - ~.

DING is EXPOSED
IN BY ITS SECRETARY

Practically all the activities of La
Dor 3 National Peace Council, alleged by
United States Attorney Marshall to
have been financed by money supplied
by Won Rintelen, have been laid bare.
The disclosures were made by l.. p.
Straube, secretary Of the organization
which is said to have gone out of bust
ness when Won kintelen left the coun-
try.
The books and documents are abun-
dant, but give little indication of the
sums amounting to 100000, said to
have been doled out by Won Rintelen
through Lamar, and which subsequently
are alleged to have found their way to
an inner ring of the council. Copies of
Won Rintelen s papers and some of the
originals taken from him by the British
at Falmouth were given to Mr.. Marshall
by the state department.
Won Rintelen was close friend of
Andrew d. MelOy, an American broker,
who was felIow-passenge with him
on trip to Europe which ended in the
detention of Meloy and the arrest of
Won Rintelen when the vessel reached
Falmouth.
Won Rintelen, who is German, went
abroad on fradulently obtained Am
erican passport, and in the belief that
MelOy knew much about the manner in
which the passport was obtained, Off
cials arrested him on his arrival from
Europe about three months ago.
Recently, on advice of his counsel
MelOy made clean confession to Mr.
Marshall, then went to Washington
where, it is rRid, he made revelations
to the state department.
Won Rintelen is also charged with
having been the agent of the German
government supposed to hive melted
some of the recent revolts in Mexico
the object being to force American in
PREVENTION and thus prevent the full
work of the various munition plants
on orders for the Allies.
1t is reported that Won Rintelen came
first to the United States in 1906, when
he laid the groundwork for the plots
now alleged to be under way. At that
time the German agent had an office at
SO Williams Street, New York, and was
associated with the Deutches Bank.
The amount of money said to have
been at the disposal of Won Rintelen
amounts to millions.
The Germap government, since Won
Rintelen s arrest, has formally dsOwn
ed any responsibility for him or his
activities.

conclusion that an offensive against
Salonika would be fruitless, while an
offensive that failed would entail en-

STATE TO PLANT FLAX.
Polk Farmers May Assist In Develop
ing Industry.

The state board of control decided
on Saturday to plant 1000 acres OF
land to flax next year, if possible. The
planting of the flax will be urged up
on farmers living in the territory sur
rounding Salem. According to the
decision of the board the homegrown
seed will be sold to the growers for
$3.50 a bushel and the state will pay
for the flax raised at the rate OF SID
ton. The convicts will pick the
flax, as was done this year, and the
growers will deliver the product at
the penitentiary.
"The yield in some fields this
year," said Governor Withycombe re-
Gently, twas above three tons to the
acre. Although the growers paid So
a bushel for the seed because it was
necessary to import it, | believe the
crop with that yield is a profitable
one. | see no reason, with reduced
price for seed, and the farmers hav-
ing gained experience in flax culture,
why one thousand acres should not be
planted this year. The industry
should be profitable also for the state.
Our plant, which will last for many
years. has been paid for and the state
soon should be able to realize more
than it expended, besides furnishing
employment for the convicts, some
thing that is most desirable
