London, October Blowing to the ill ness of Premier Asquith and the delicate negotiations proceeding between the a. lies, enlightenment that todays meeting of the House of Commons was expected to throw on the Balkan operations, over which Sir Edward Carson is believed to have resigned from the cabinet and on the substitution of Major General Monro for Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton to command in the Dardanelles, was not forthcoming
 There were more than 100 questions in the House on the orders of the day. deal- ing chiefly with near eastern affairs, the Dardanelles and the method of raising men for the army. and while the minis ters answered many, in no case was the
 information the public was anxiously awaiting supplied.
 It Is Generally agreed. however, that for the moment at least the controversy over recruiting has been silenced. for the conscriptionists. or most of them, have decided to give Lord Derby's new scheme fair trial and to assist him in every way to get men for the army. It Is understood the voluntary system is receiving it's last trial, and despite the opposition through out the country, those favoring national service for all will endeavor, to force it's adoption, should Lord Derby fail in his efforts.
 Balkan Situation Clears So far as the Dardanelles and the Bal kans are concerned, good deal of the pessimism which reigned week ago has disappeared. It is believed that instead of any idea existing of abandoning the attempt to open the straits and sea route to Constantinople. the appointment of General Monroe means a more strenuous effort and that when the right moment
 comes the Italian navy. if not Italian troops, will cooperate.
 It is known that the forces on, Gallipoli have not been weakened for the Balkan ca mpaign. and while the task Is difficult, the British public is confident that it will ultimately be accomplished.
