To Use the Quota
System to Raise
English Troops
(Correspondence Of The Associatad :,

Correspondence of The Associated Press, ]
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The quota system
which Lord Kitchener is said TO advocate
as compromise between the present
voluntary enlistment system ana con-
scription Is historic method of raising
troops, for It existed in England from
Saxon times down to the year 1882. II
is now merely suspended. not dead.
BY the quota system. Great Britain
would be divided into military districts.
each Of which Is required to send its
quota OF required number of recruits.
1t is a form Of compulsion, but a demo-
cratic form that stood the test OF eight
centuries. Its special merits are It's an
peal 20 local patriotism and It's civil
control. Each locality has the power 10
enforce enlistment II other means fail.
but large number OF additional yolun-
tsry recruits viii be found just because
the affair L. managed by the civil au-
thorities and the appeal Is more personal
and less emotional than by the military
recruiting with their bands and speech
making actors.
There are many statutes on the English
books relating TO the quota system
which can be enforced at any time nv
an order OF the Privy council with the
approval OF Parliament. Some changes
were made from the old methods in l757
when the various counties wera in
struoted to proportion their quota among
the various parishes where the men. IN
case OF necessity, were to be chosen by
ballot. This law placed the age OF
service from Is to so years. exempting
all men with more than one child born
in wediOck Forces for the Napoleonic
wars were thus raised. In lSs2 the old
militia passed from the control OF the
counties to the war office. and the sys-
tenn Of district selection was allowed to
lapse.

Overseas Colonial
Empire Now the
Plan, it is Said

Correspondence Of the Associated Press-)
BUDAPEST. Hungary, Nov. THE
political and economic position Of Ger
many makes a great overseas colonial
empire an absolute necessity" declares
Herr Solf, the German minister of colon
les. In an interview with the correspon-
dent of Azest After emphasizing the
Importance OF the present move in the
Balkans from the point Of view Of Ger
man colonial policy, Herr solf continues,
1T is necessary for us not only to
maintain our previous colonial possess
sions, but even TO increase them. irre-
spective Of the European issues and of
the settlement in Europe after the war.
Our motto will be, after the conclusion
Of the war. to establish a connected
colonial empire destined to fill up the
gaps In our economic life In accordancs
with the necessities Of our position.
Our only enemy from a colonial point
Of view is England. How the future
Germany overseas will be built up de-
pends on the result of our war with
England. At the very moment when
we restore communications with the
Straits and Constantinople and drive tho
allied forces into the sea in Galllpoli, to.
gether with the Italians and any others
attaching themselves to these, the events
that will follow will develop like those
In well written play.
The Turkish army will advance
through Asia Minor and Taurus, In order
TO concentrate for further advance at
damascus. Every new army corps which
VIII pass through the Kilikia gate of
the city of Saladin will aggravate the
terror OF London. On the day when tho
English army on the Nile, with the
Australians. the Canadians and indiana
capitulates before the Turks, or when
tney have to re-embark at Alexandria,
the world-power Of England will sink
into the deep from Gibraltar to sinR.-,
pore. What she will save out of thi.
catastrophe will not be decided by I'm
gland alone"
