= ONDON. Oct 16.-The secrets OF
the new budget are out and the
general opinion IS that It IS fair
and reaches the pockets Of those best
able to pay as well as those who have
hitherto not been directly affected. In
the latter category are to be found the
small wage earners who will now pay
their cent or two through the increased
tax on tea cocoa and tobacco while
the artisan who is piling up an in
creased income by reason or overtime
on war contracts and the small farmer

= ONDON. Eng, oct 16-Conscrip-
ton or no conscriDtion con
tinues TO be the great ques-
ton here, as indeed all over Eng
land, and the discussion is rapidly
assuming a very heated and bitter form
In vain the government has begged the
leaders of the opposing camps to con-
slider the fact that a question of such
enormous Importance must be settled
by calmly celebrating all details for

no elaboration is possible in an atmos-
phere charged with bitterness and per
sonal attacks.
The kernel of the whole question is
Of course: VIII it be possible to
achieve better results through general
CONSUMPTION than have been reached by
calling for volunteersZ Tnis is a mere
question Of figures, which are available
TO any intelligent person who cares TO
look into the facts.
Mere Matter of Figures
The number Of men who since the be
ginning Of the war have volunteered for
military service abroad surpasses three
millions. A month or so ago the weekly
average Of volunteers was very much
higher. In one day in September, 1914
no less than $4,000 recruits were en-
"
swamped and in order TO stem the tide
they raised the required height two
inches, a mistake which a high war Of
fetal says was almost enough to kill
the whole movement
The number Of volunteers decreased
daily because the impression spread
that the necessary number of soldiers
had enlisted The unhappy results OF
TINS mistake were more than made up
Tor, first, by new urgent appeals for
men and. second. because the Germans
committed the blUnder Of bombarding
open towns on England's coast.
Inc medical examination here being
very severe it is not too much to esti-
mate the number Of volunteers rejected
as unfit for military service at one
million men This means then that of
the total male population OF Great Brf-
tain between the ages Of IS and 40
years, four million have volunteered for
war service, but to this figure must be
added at least one million men en-
Dloyed in muntiOn and gun factories and I
other establishments supplying the
needs Of the army and navy. Then il 4
