ports that the members favoring con-
scription would resign unless compul-

Churchill. chancellor of the duchy OF
Lancaster at Enfield. this afternoon.
1T II not an easy moment" said Mr.
Churchill. for a public man to open
his mouth on any topic. for there are
so many people who seem TO have less

gagged In trying to make difficulties,
even more than already existed, and
seeking TO make artificial divisions
In regard to matters OF great conse-
quence which should be approached In
spirit OF impartiality and good will. +"
Mr.. Churchill added that during the
past four or i've months the allies had
not done as well as they might have
hoped. There had been events which,
while not disastrous. were disappoint-
ments.
In the Dardanelles. be said. the al
lies had gained invaluable ground,
which led them toward a decisive con-
clusion. but they had not gained the
advantage at the points at which they
aimed.
Then there had come the retreat OF
the Russians. and while the Russians
were re-arming and recovering their
strength. new and unmistakable
burden had fallen upon Great Britain.
The situation was a very serious
one. but the allies had IL in their
power TO carry the war TO a success

chancellor said. II they vitaliIed their
