Boom in False Leg Industry

 The great number of amputations oi arms and legs as result of wounds has caused John R. Clarke, manufac- turer of artificial limbs to arrange for the enlargement of his factory in France. Mir. Clarke sailed today for New York on the French line steam ship from Bordeaux to secure addi- tional machinery and workmen.

 Although the chickadee is such friend ly little beggar all winter long dndeed, the season through when he is merely engaged in occupation of getting food and the joyous pastime Of living, when breed ing time arrives he suddenly becomes high ly secretive, and gets as far out of sight as possible. No doubt that Is one of the reasons the species has been so successful in the fight for survival. Like the wood becker and the bluebird, the chiclSadee nests in hole. Of course they have been known to select holes close to a dwelling.

NO COMPU[ SION IN SIGHT IN ENGLAND
Agitators for Conscription
 Have Failed for Present
WEAKNESS OF SYSTEM
Volunteer System Produces Wrong Men for the Army-Those Whom Country Can Least Spare-Plan
 to Overcome the Difficulty

London, October 2.-tSpecial. )-The conscription agitation in England has definitely failed. for the present at least. It never was more than an ar tificial cry by one group of newspapers, mostly controlled by Lord Northcliffe, and the Hid" was finally put on it by the action of the Trade Union con gress which declined to have anything Q do with it. The scheme was never approved by the military authorities. who know that they have not the machinery for universal training, and as matser of fact they have now completed their scheme for obtaining all the men that England wants with out, 1t is hoped, the necessity of any form of compulsion.
 As matter of fact, the trouble with the voluntary system of enlistment now employed is not that 1t failed to pro- duce enough men for the army It produced more men than England could train and equip at first and it is not certain that she has yet caught up completely with the flow of recruits. Its weakness is that 1t has provided the wrong men for the army and in thou sands of cases allowed the right men to stay outside.
 Labor Supply Depleted
 Recruiting has been so good in some districts that the supply of labor for agriculture and the necessary work of keeping things going, not to speak of the manufacture of munitions. is se- riously hampered by a shortage of skilled labor. In other districts re- crtltfinU for hoc haa ha and there are thousands of men In civilian clothes who ought to be in khaiki.
 am able to state now that a plan has been framed for overcoming this difficulty without abandoning the vol untary system. This plan is based on the national register, or war census, which was made few weeks ago, and it is a wonderful example of the Brit tsh method of muddiing along and finally bringing order out of chaos. 1t is no secret now, that until few days before the census was actually taken the authorities didn't know what they were going to do with when they got it. Then meeting was held between the civil and military authorities, at which time it became apparent that the military authorities, or at least the re- cruiting branch, proposed to use the information obtained to badger every man of military age to join the army, Wlthout reference to the CIVIL needs or the country. Argument proved useless so the civil authorities determined to hold on to the results of the census until the war office became more req sonable, and orders were issued to the local enumerators that on no account were the cards to be handed over to the war office or to the local recruit ing agencies until further orders. Some of the local recruiters demanded them, and met with refusal A few got them but were forced to return them.
 This deadlock has just been ended by a compromise which it is expected will meet all the country's require

great center for the manufacture of munitions. It can only spare say, an other 1000 men, and they must not be skilled mechanics. The rest of the country of Warwick, of which Birming- ham forms a part, We will say, has done rather badly and there must be available 4000 or 5000 men whose in- clusion in the army would not in any way interfere with munitions making or with the necessary civilian activi- ties. The lord lieutenant of Warwick shire will be called on then to fur nish, say 5000 men and warned that not more than 1000 must be taken from Birmingham. In the same way the lord lieutenant of Essex may be called on to supply 10000 men and so on. It must be understood that the counties mentioned are merely taken as example and that the figures quoted have no relation to the actual recruiting In this way it is believed that the full available man power of England can be obtained without compulsion and without the usual attendant evils of the voluntary system. It is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in finding all the men required, for county patriotism Is very strong in England.
 One fact that Is generally over looked even in the English newspapers when dealing with the question of com pulsory military service is that the ob- ligation for military service by every male Briton exists now. and only needs an order by the King In council to make it effective. Just as every male American citizen is a member of the unorganized militia of the United States, so every Briton is liable for service if called on. under the militia ballot act, which is in abeyance until called into activity by royal order.
 It Is a fairly safe bet that England will get through the war without com pulsory military service. What will happen after the war when Britain takes stock of it's lessons is another matter.

ments. It is development of the quota system, somewhat similar to the American system, by which the Presi- dent calls on the governors of states to furnish their quota of troops. An expert committee has been appointed to examine and analyze the results of the census in each district.
 How System Works
 When Lord Kitchener decides that he wants more men he will state the number and the committee will then turn to its district analysis Taking Birmingham as an example they will find, we will suppose, that Birming- ham has already done very we'll in the matter of recruiting, and that it is ?
