REDMOND MAKES SENSATION

LONDON, Dec 22.-The most exciting sitting of par
 lament in the recent history of Great Britain took place last night when the house of commons treated to sen sation after sensation all during the long hours until an adjournment finally made at quarter to six o'clock this morning. The all night sitting the result ot the proposal of Prime Minister ASquith to raise an add tonal million recruits His request granted by the House but after most turbulent scenes The big senSa ton came when John E. Redmond the leader of the Ma tonaist party declared that Ireland would resist con scription by every in its power and his words evidently carried the threat that armed resistance would be resorted to if necessary Immediately following him came John Dlon member for Mayo who was once offered
 place in the cabinet by Gladstone. Dillon Savagely at tackled the British generals and officers generally and de cared that was nothing less than murder to send good men to fight under such a lot of incompeentS. What IS the use of sending good troops to be led by such men as those who were responsible for the failure at Suvla Bay and Anzac?" asked Dillon Redmond is the man who refused seat in the cabinet when offered it by Asquith His uncle is retired general in the British army and his son is an officer fighting in the trenches with Irish regiment but his speech in the House last night showed clearly that he meant business Dillon is the husband of
 woman who was the daughter of an English lord justice and his bitter attack British military leadership is the whole topic today Beneath the whole matter is beev ed is the suspicion that those in favor of cOnscrpOn have chiefly in view the disruption of the alliance between the NatiOnaSts and the government of Asquith so that the latter might be thrown from power.

STORMY SCENES AT ALL NIGHT
 SESSION OF HOUSE OF COMMONS
RUSSIANS TAKE VARNA

LONDON, Dee. 22-One of the most pleasant items of news for the Allies for long time arrived this morning when it was announced that the Russians have captured Varna the chief Bulgarian port on the Black sea The navy of the Russians has laid the town waste and strong force of land fighters has been landed to attack the Bulgarians in the The Notifications of the place were entirely inadequate to meet the attack of the big naval guns and Vana has become for the allied powers another base such as SaOnik from which to carry on the war against the TeutOnS in the Balkans. No ntimatOn has been given as to the number of Russian troops landed but the information of yesterday to the effect that the Russian fleet was accompanied by sixteen troop ships causes the belief that the landing force not less than thirty thousand This opens new phase of the war and many are inclined think that the landing has been made after an agreement with ROumana to attack Bull garia from the north.

No news was received from Villa himself today but it is not thought likely that he would go Co Juarez as some of his former follow CTS are incensed to the point of mad ness for what they consider his be- trayal of their cause He is probably still hiding here but no effort has been made to locate him by the authorities as his capture is not wanted, perfect liberty having been offered him by his coming in as a civilian.

"ROkRlNG WAVE OF FIRE,"
 IS HURLED BY GERMANS
Many of the Victims Die From Suffo
 cation In Intense Heat.

A dispatch from the Daily Chroni cles correspondent In the north of France says that an officer who was on the lighting line when the Germans attacked with blazing gases has given his impressions of this novel engine of warfare as follows:
 "I don't think the use of these flames was any less formidable than that of asphyxiating gases. Their effect at short range is much worse, but 1t is easier to find shelter from them. The flames carry only a relatively short distance and cannot reach you a long way off, as often is the case with poi son gases.
 ''The flame Is yellow with blue nucleus and Is directed through a DOW erful air jet It springs from the ground level and expands into roar ing wave of fire. Indeed, the flame is very much like that of a common Bun- sen burner, used in a laboratory, only yellower.
 "The pressure of air or other gas that Is used to force the nflammable liquid through the jet must be enormous in

WILLIAM THAW DECORATED.
American In French Aviation Corps
 Gets His Third Citation.

William Thaw of Pittsburgh, who is serving as an aviator in the French army, has just received his third cita- ton in the orders of the day. He has been detailed to the dangerous work of locating and observing German bat teries, often situated two or three miles behind the first line.
 Recently while flying low one shell broke immediately beneath his ma chine. It Is the Germans custom to fire three test shells to locate an avi- ator's range. As soon as the first shell broke Thaw immediately started to rise and then dive to avoid the two ensuing shells.
 A moment later one shell exploded a short distance in front and the third one directly behind. A piece of shrap- nel carried away a portion of the tail, and for moment the machine ap- peared lost. Thaw succeeded in right ing it, regaining control, turned and, after passing through a hot rifle fire, landed safely inside the French lines.
 The general commanding the divi- sion, who witnessed the feat, asked to be presented to the aviator, as he wished to compliment him. Thaw was immediately brought before the gener- al. The following morning the citation appeared in the orders of the day.
