Aside from the manufacture OF shells

In Lubbock the correspondent was

Married Men Are
in the Majority
in English Army

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
LONDON. May 10.-Premier Asqulth's
statement that the government is per-
fectly satisfied with the recruiting for
the new army has aroused the anger OF
the extreme conservatives. who have long
pleaded for the oonscript system and
thought the war would force II upon the
country. But the government. evidently
with tho support OF the great mass Of
the people. intends 20 stick to the volun-
toer system.
In an editorial headed, "The Worst
Form OF conscription." the Express at
lacks Asquith's position.
'"rhe point which is always ignored"
says the Express. lis that a universal
obligation 20 serve would prevent the
best elements In the nation bearing the
burden that ought to fall equally on all
and would prevent the indifferent and
the slackers from escaping service alto
gether. Moreover even II such a system
save the government many more men
than it.neods. II would enable the author
tiles TO make a selection that would be
beneficial to tho whole country. taking
the unmarried before the married. and
leaving the man whose services are in
dispensible for industries OF national inn
portance. II is preposterous that tho
price OF coal should 80 up because Of the
miners patriotism. and that the munltion
factories should be impeded because OF
the number OF expert engineers who have
Joined the colors, while there are tens OF
thousands OF idle and useless young men
OF all classes too stupid and too lndit-
ferent 10 do their duty"
This paper asserts that married men
outnumber the unmarried in the troops,
often constituting as high as 20 per cent
OF tho battalions.
