war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO+
GATED PRESS.

New York, Dee. 30.-Special: Con-
scrlption in modified form Is consid-
cred probable in Great Britain. Late
London dispatches say that the Brit
ish cabinet has virtually decided upon
q bill to this end, which will be intro
duced In the house of commons next
week and will give the government
the power TO act in case of necessity.
The cabinet council In London has
aroused intense interest because of
the rumors of dlssension among the
members or their inability to come to
an agreement on the question of how
the British army Is to be brought up
to the standard deemed essential to
the winner of the war.
The situation In the Balkans-the
point of chief interests quiescent.
The French and British behind their
defensive lines at Saloniki are report
ed in a dispatch from British head
quarters TO be well prepared for any
attack by the Teutons.
Doubt is expressed in Vienna that
the Austro-Germans will attack the
British and French at Saloniki on the
Il SiOuHu NhdA 81 luis 40 AhN tANSAlW
allies are held in that position they
can do no harm.
Unofficial advices from Rumania
say that Germany is preparing for a
powerful Egyptian campaign in
which the Turks, Germans and Aus
TRANS will take part.
The proposed army for the venture
IL Is estimated, will number from
500, 900 to 500, 900.
A Vienna dispatch arriving in
Switzerland says the German imper-
Vienna with the full conditions under
which the central powers will accept
peace and that after a conference
with the Austrian foreign minister
the conditions will be made known
officially to the entente allies.
Again the Russians nave assumed
the offensive In the Bessarabian front
of eastern Galicia and along the
Pruth river, but, according to Vienna.
their attacks collapsed under the
Austrian fire.
Except at Weilerkopf.
In the Vosges mountains. there has
been no noteworthy engagements in
the west. At Hartsmanns-W eilerkopf
some German trenches were captured
by the French.
The anticonscriptionist ministers
offered strong opposition and IL Is
still unknown whether any resigna-
lions will follow. Ii Is believed,
however. that this Is quite likely
now.
The line of policy upon which q
majority of the minister agree, indi-
eating that some, at least. of the anti.
conscriptionists' section of the cabi.
net so far waived their principle as tc
consent to modified application oi
force, Is as follows:
1. Pledge to married men is bind
ing on the whole government.
2. That the pledged should be re
deemed forthwith.
8. That the principle of compul-
sion should be accepted.
4. That the premier should IN
nounce this policy at the earliest op-
portunity after the reassembling OF
parliament.
1t is believed that the actual for
NAL resolution on the new policy ha
been postponed until another meeting
of the cabinet on Thursday and thai
in the short interval Mr.. Asquith will
be employed in asserting the strong
est influences to avert disruption o.
his cabinet. 1t Is still quite possible
that a crisis may be avoided.

$S0.27 Prison expense $39.24
These figures show that the num-
Der OF arrests during the past six
months were but 3S per cent OF the
number in 1914, and that the number
of arrests for intoxication this year
was but 81 per cent of those of last
year.
This is in the fact" says the chief
of police, that we have picked up
drunks this year very much closer
than last year. Now we take anyone
that shows any signs of being intoxi-
Gated, because we are looking for evil
dence, while last year a man could be
half drunk and We would let him 60
because we couldn't accommodate all
the boarders In the city Jail"
1t is also interesting to note that
the amount collected from fines is
but $55 less this year than last in
spite of the greatly decreased num-
Der of arrests. This is doubtless due
in a large part to the fact that the
arrests this year have paid cash in
stead of serving time in Jail as is
further indicated by the difference OF
500 days in the number OF days
served In jail between the two years.

their home at Munich they made calls
on a number of their old friends in

Jacob Koehn and a friend of his
called at the Spenst place on Septem.
Der list on very important business.
Local happenings in this neighbor-
hood are practically at a standstill
until the busy season of fall work is
over.
George Friesen was among the first
to get some threshing done around
here. at the Jake Spenst place he
threshed some rye which showed an
average of FL bushels to the acre
wheat or the Donovan farm gave a
yield of 16 bushels.
An item which appears to have been
overlooked by your correspondent is
the birth of a daughter to Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Spenst of Moscow town
ship. This future addition to the
school census is understood to have
put in its appearance on August 18th.
A telegram received last Friday
morning by Mrs. David Hebert an
nounced the sad news OF the death of
her mother, Mrs. Issac Dick. The
family previous to their removal to
Hebert, Sask., were we'll known resi-
dents of the vicinity of Munich in this
county. The family have many
friends who sympathize with them in
their affection.
Moscow townships crop though not
as heavy as some sections of the
county, owing to being in the dry belt
during the period of summer rains, is
giving some fair averages now that
the thresher has got started. The
general impression is that the wheat
acreage will give the best returns.
Around here, however, much of the
acreage seems to be barley and oats.
Miss Ella Whisky who has served
as trained nurse in several of the
hospitals of the larger towns in
Nebraska brought her visit with
