HARCOURTWILL
RULE IN INDIA.
LONDON HEARS
British Commissioner Of Works
to Leave Cabinet-Long
Favorite At Court.

LONDON, Dec. SO.-That Lewis v.
Harcourt, member of the cabinet since
1907, and strong opponent of compul-
sorry service, has resigned, was report
Cd. but unconflrmed, today.
Harcourt, whose wife is an American
woman, is said to be slated to become
Viceroy of India. Whether his opposi-
ton to conscription has led to his resig-
nation could not be learned definitely
today.
Harcourt entered the cabinet in 1907
and held the post of secretary of state
for the colonies until formation of the
coalition ministry last May, when he
accepted the portfolio of first commits
sioner Of works.
Wife Cousin of Morgan.
Mrs. Harcourt was Mary Ethel Burns,
Of New York, a cousin Of ]. p. Morgan,
her mother being sister of the late J.
P. Morgan. II the report is true she
will be the second American woman to
become the vicerine of India, the first
having been Lady Curzon, formerly
Miss Mary Letter, of Chicago.
Rumors of Harcourt's resignation be-
gan to circulate too late for editorial
comment in the morning papers. Despite
optimistic statements of certain news
papers, 1t was generally believed one
or two designations were certain as
the result of the adoption of the con-
scription policy. though there was a
noticeable slackeninR of tension today.
Adopt New Slogan.
Conscriptionists, rallying to the sup
port of the government. have adopted as
their slogan the admission of G. Ii.
Roberts, labor member of Parliament
and for years a bitter opponent of com
pllsory service that:
There is something worse than con-
scription and that is national defeat"
The cabinet will meet tomorrow to
consider the form the CONSUMPTION bill
will take.
