United Press Dispatch ]

London, Eng, December 22.-After
a night of debate, the house of com
mons this morning decided TO pass
the measure, calling for the addition
of million men to the British forces
under arms. This will make an army
OF more than four million men, by
far the vastest force that great Britain
has ever placed in the field. Those
appealing for this measure argued
that only by putting forth all the
strength of the British empire could
the war be brought to a speedy ter
minatiOn. The debate was very VIC
lent, and the stormiest sessions ever
known in the American congress were
mild in comparison. The opposition
was led by Sir Edward Carson, who
recently resigned from the British
cabinet, being out of accord with the
policy of the government in the con-
duct of the war.
