LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The first ap-
parent result here of the terrible
blows dealt to the allied cause in
Poland and Galicia is likely to be con-
scription in Great Britain. The cab
met has already decided on the prin-
ciple of co~nscription and the only
question now is the highly complex
one of how it is to be conducted. me
precedent set by the United states IN
1863. when the draft was employed,
has already been considered ana set
aside.
Co"nscription will be adopted more
FOR its moral effect than because the
Government feels that it will ADD
greatly to Britain's military strength
There is the bittcrest feeling in the
British army and among the pubIlc
at home against the very small group
Of ~"slackers,' men of military age
without home responsibilities VINO Will
not enlist, and their enforced pres
ence in the ranks will allay much as
content. It Is also felt hat Russia
and France will be encouraged, ana
Germany discouraged, by the evidence
of determination to fight to the llnlsh
afforded by CONSUMPTION.
Million to COnSCript.
The following figures showing the
effects of conscription were turnlshed
by a high authority:
There are now in Great Britain and
ireland and at the front eight mil
lion males Of military age, of whom
six million are physically fit to bear
arms.
Two million men have enlisted in
the army and navy.
Three million Of those men who are
fit for military service are absolutely
needed at home, either i'm making
munitions for their comrades or IN
the coal mines, cotton mills ana other
Industries which must be conducted
to prevent an industrial collapse.
This leaves only one million men
available who may be called TO the
Colors by CONSUMPTION.
Opinions have been obtained on the
question Of CONSUMPTION from three OF
the most prominent men in England,
representing literature, the army and
fine pcerase. They are Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, creator Of sherlock
Holiness" Major General Sir Alfred
Turner. X. C. b., a distinguished
soldier. and Lord Sydcnham. DR..
Conan Doyle has qualms, but tho
other two interviewed approved OF
the coming policy.
