Advices from Amsterdam are that

Whether the mail seized included
any first-class matter or, as is more
probable, consisted of parcel post

Irish Opposition Develops
| A great parliamentary battle is fore
/ shadowed by the announcement that a.
conscription bill will be introduced
next week. Lines for and against the
measure are being drawn, and an in
formal conference of labor leaders
has been called. Irish members in
solidly if Ireland is included. 1t is.
reported that the government will ex-
clude Ireland from the operation of
the measure, in order to escape the
Irish opposition. There is a general
belief that the cabinet plans to draft
unmarried men first
Yesterdays cabinet meeting, al
though it failed to secure an agree
ment of all the ministers upon the
question of the voluntary system
versus conscription, was a very critical
and decisive character, and virtually
reached the decision that the applica-
tion of force may become necessary
before all eligible single men are ef-
fectually brought to the colors.
Premier Asquith is expected to make
a statement on the whole question in
the house of commons Wednesday or
Thursday of next week and announce
the speedy introduction of a bill of
a permissive character making service
in the army obligatory on unmarried
men who have failed to enlist under
the Derby scheme.
The anti-conscriptionist ministers
offered strong opposition and it is
still unknown whether any resigna-
tions will follow. 1t is believed, how
ever. that this is quite likely now.
The line of policy upon which ma
jority of the ministers agree, indicat-
ing that some, al least, of the anti
section of the cabinet
SO far waived their principle as to
consent to a modified application Of
force is as follows:
First, that the premier's pledge to
married men is binding on the whole
government.
Second, that the pledge should be
forthwith.
Third that the principle of coM-
pulsion should be accepted.
Fourth, that the premier should
announce this policy at the earliest
after the reassembling of
parliament"
Reginald AIckenna, chancellor OF
the exchequer; Walter Runciman,
president of the board of trade, and
the labor minister, Arthur Henderson,
are regarded as the most likely to re-
sign. Other known opponents OF
are Louis Harcourt, Sir
John A. Simon, Thomas McKinnon
Wood and Sir Stanley o. Buckmaster
The fact that Premier Asquith has
been able to make the momentous
that in his opinion the
ime has arrived when steps should
De taken to prepare for conscription,
however. must have had an enormous
effect upon the most determined OF
he supporters of the voluntary plan

he most, only be few designations.
