Compulsory Military Service
Favored by Majority of
British Officials.
NATIONAL REGISTRATION
Eleven Cabinet Members
Fovor Immediate Com
pulsory Service.

!. LONDON, Aug. 4-(De-
layed. Ut is learned on ex-
cellent authority that the
cabinet has decided to start
a system of conscription to
raise additional armies for
Great Britain and that the
practice will probably be put
in force early in the fall or
as soon after the adjourn
ment Of parliament as posi-
.ble.
This information came
this afternoon after a cabi-
net meeting in Downing
street, held Immediately af-
ter the anniversary services
in st. Paul's Cathedral.
Both Earl Kitchener and Premier
Asquith were present and 1t is known
that the question of compulsory SER
vice was threshed out again and this
: time with result that virtually dis
pels all doubt about the governments
Intentions.
zl 1t Is absolutely incorrect, however,
as asserted by section Of the press
which advocates conscription, that the
voluntary system has been a failure.
Dn the contrary, that system has
proved most successful. 1t has pro-
fduced all that was ever expected of
1t and 1t is even correct to say that
he has come up to the most sanguine
expectations OF the ministers. New
ertheless, 1t Is true that the voluntary
system has reached the limit OF its
possibilities for raising new armies
and that the number of new recruits
now being obtained is barely sufficient
to fill the gaps the war causes in the
ranks.
The correspondent is informed on
the highest authority that no fewer
than II members of the cabinet are
strongly in favor of immediate com.
pulsory service. The foremost OF
these members are David Lloyd
George, minister Of munitions, Win.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town a great city We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"fiddlers,' but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct,
and that it is better for a man that he
should build a public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start pillow than
that he become the author of law.
The true test of craftsmanship is the
pillow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern. first build.

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

Horticultural and Commercial Press Servicel
1t is interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Tween
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
flict but the results are more far
reaching to present and futurs gen
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat, it's doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will reyolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the I'M
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1863
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands OF
steel. It took the iron tire tifty-fiye
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and it's reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t will traverse the con.
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?
