1t is taken for granted that Pre-
mier Asquith, Lord Kitchener, secre-
tary for war, and A. ]. Balfour, first
lord of the admiralty, will be mem
bers of this council.

in the nature of compromise to meet
the criticism that a cabinet of %
members is unwieldy.

tain is serious.

ly million men under his command

The whole cabinet sanctioned the,
attack on the Dardanelles after the
French admiralty and the Russian
commander had approved it.
| There is full agreement between,
England and France to stand by Ser,
bia and maintain her independence. :
These facts were stated by Premier
! Asquith in the long promised speech
for which the whole world was wait
ing.
Would Adopt Conscription.
81 am determined that we shall win
this war;" concluded the prime min
lister, land sooner than not win it
would not hesitate to propose some
form of compulsory enlistment"
Mr. Asquith asserted he was as con-
fident as ever that the Allies were go
ing to carry their righteous cause to a
triumphant issue and he was not going
to shift the burden from his should
ers until satisfied he was unable to
bear it.
He would not surrender the task as
long as he enjoyed health and the con
fdence of king and the country.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 1.-Da-
nish farm property has increased in
value as result of the European war
until farms are now being sold almost
daily at price so per cent higher
than what they would have brought
nine to twelve months ago. The ap-
probation of the farm property is due,
of course, to the unprecedented profits
on agricultural products. In the mat

that the government during the past
six months has prohibited the expor-
taticn of them.
