CONSUMPTION TAKEN
! UP IN PARLIAMENT
Premier, Admitting Cabinet Is
Considering Measure,
Asks for Delay.
LLOYD GEORGE FAVORS 1T

LONDON, Sept. 1i.-Just as a motion
Tor adjournment was made in the House
OF Commons this afternoon several mem
bers sprang to their feet each uttered
the word "conscription.' and when the
House adjourned not long afterward, the
question OF compulsory military service
In Great Britain had been publicly dis
cussed In Parliament for the first time.
Premier Asquith admitted that the
Cabinet IL seriously considering the sub
3ect Of corscription and that it will be a
topic OF Parliamentary debate as soon as
the Cabinet has arrived at II conclusion.
He begged the House to refrain In the
meantime from further discussion OF the
question of the best way "In which this
country shall meet the call to bring the
war to n Fucccsstil conclusion"
After advocates as wcll as opponents
OF conscIiption made REMARKS On the
subject Premier AsauIth SAID;
This Is not a mLttci which has es-
capped the attention oil the Government.
When the Government. without un luc
delay ana with the Guc deiibe;ation
nv w t'llNlN W lHt sltllllOn ut-
mands, have ariiNcl At their conclusions.
those conclusions will be presented TO the
House and will then become the subject
OF Parliamentary discus si,n."
The movement for cousc:ipilJn has
taken ON redoub!ed impetus during the
last Few days. Even in quarters
hitherto fcrvcni.y opposed to the meas
ure hints and even frank expressions
are heard OF the necessity o. co pulsory
service.
An stimdt u? ;ie nui ber OF British
troops which VII have to he sen; TO
the Continent greatly ~ '"eds the num-
Der already In the field. This is not the
estimate OF Ia! men, but OF Lord kitche-
ner himself. according to the Daily
Chronicle. Kitchener has submitted his
figures to the Cabinet.
The Dolly Chronicle, which hitherto
has not advocated CONSUMPTION, learns
from its Parliamentary correspondent
that even Lloyd George has been con-
rerted to the idea. As Minister OF NUM-
tons. he Is said 20 have found out that
the munitions problem cannot be solved
In any other way. Lloyd George was
formerly 4 supporter OF the voluntary
system Of enlistment.
Recruiting has sensibly fallen off dur
Ing the last m/lth. although men still
are Offering NJ services faster than they
can be equipped. New impetus was
given To recruiting since the latest Zep.

II is the common belief that no better

The attempt to get a decision against
Russia was still being pressed. II was
too early to say that 1t would not be
achieved. and while Mr.. Belloc insisted
hat nothing he was saying was I'm the
nature OF prophecy, In his opinion the
situation as a whole lent more color
to the belief hat the enemy would fail
to obtain n decision, and he had quite
certainly lost in casualties, temporary
and permanent, a million and a quarter
men.
He mad not lost to any extent In guns
or equipment, and he had inflicted losses
at least equivalent to his own, perhaps
greater, but he had not encircled or put
to confusion or destroyed the cohesion
of any group of Russian armies.
The abandonment OF Kovno was not
equivalent to a decision unless the
enemy could compel the Russians to
accept battle and defeat them in battle
he had not achieved a decision.
