Mr.. Jones. who thinks her boys
cannot lose their character. The pur-

Reputation and Character.
The speaker declared there was a
vast difference between reputation
and character. Character he placed
above everything elst. and said a
man might lose his reputation, but
his character might remain. A girl.
however, who loses one, carries the
other along with It,
Reputation is like pair of
gloves said Mr. Jones, which one
may remove at pleasure. And we
know that gloves may be used many
times. But character once lost is
hard to recover.

LONDON, Dec. 9.-England in
tends to have an army of 1000. 900
men under arms by April /, 1916.
There are at present 5000. 600 Brit
ish soldiers in the field or in train
ing and within a week Premier As
quith, with the unanimous support
of the cabinet will ask parliament
TO authorize the enlisting of 1000

Shortly after Lord Kitchener
visited Greece il was reported that
he had informed the Athens gov
eminent that by spring England
would have an army Of 1000, 600
men and that il would assist in the
arming and supplying of a Russian
army Of 5000. 600. While this re-
port has never been officially con-
firmed. it is understood that it was
decided four months ago that the
British army should be Increased TO
100000
This decision it is said, may be
regarded/as an answer to Germany's
desire TO make peace on terms sat
isfactory only TO Germany.
The cabinet has not vet decided
whether it will be necessary TO adopt
conscription TO raise the additional
forces. It's action will depend on
the result Of Lord Derby's efforts to
increase voluntary enlistment. For
the last week the number Of re-
cruits has increased daily TO such
extent. in fact, that the enlistment
Offices now in operation have been
unable to cope with the rush.
Lord Derby's efforts will cease on
Dec. II, unless the results are so
good that the government will de-
eide 10 extend the time limit. It is
said that Lord Derby is so confident
Of success in his campaign that he
has asked that his scheme be adopt-
ed for another period.
