INDIANS LEAVE WEST FRONT
British War Office Announces That
Troops Are Transferred to Another
Field Of Action.

London.-The departure Of the In,
dian army from France for another
field of action is n of the most i'm.
portant features of tne recent news
so far as the British public is con.
cerned. Whether the new field of &C,
ton In Egypt or Mesopotamia is no:
announced. In both these theaters
there are presumably already consid.
erable bodies of Indian troops.
1t is assumed that the places Of the
Indians in France have been filled by
drafts from the new armies raised on
the soil of the United Kingdom.
The Turkish official communication
sent out which contained claims tc
successes in the Egyptian theater call
ed forth an official denial from the
press bureau, which states that there
has been no fighting between the
British and the Arabs except a British
attack on the principal Arab front
near Mersa Matura, which was dis
persed with trifling loss to on,
troops according to the British yer
sion.
The Turkish version says that the
Turks took the offensive and killed SOC
British. put the remainder to flight
and captured . quantity Of booty.
At the parade of the Indian army
corps before 1t left France a message
from their king and emperor, com
mending their good services, was de
livered to the men by the prince Of
Wales.

DECIDES ON CONSUMPTION
Making Military Service For SIM
gle Men Compulsory.

London.-It is stated on excellent
authority that the cabinet has virtu-
ally decided upon a modified form OF
conscription bill to be introduced in
the House Of Commons. giving the
government the necessary power,
should it be found needed. to bring in
single men and preserve Premier AS
Quith's pledge to married men.
Although the cabinet meeting fail
ed to secure an agreement of all the
ministers upon the vexed question OF
the voluntary system versus conscrip.
ton was OF a very critical ana decis.
v character, and virtually reached
the decision that tho application OF
force may become necessary before
all eligible single men are effec,ually
brought to the colors.
Therefore it was resolved that p
the earliest opportunity a bill should
be introduced in Parliament in order
that the government might have the
necessary power. should it be found
that no other course was effective tc
this end.
Premier Asquith is expected to make
. statement on the whole question in
The House Of Commons soon. and an
lnounces the speedy introduction Of Q
bill OF a permissive character. making
service in the army obligatory vn I'LL
married men who have failed to az
test under the Derby scheme.
The anti-conscription ministers OF
fered strong opposition and it Is still
unknown whether any res:snations
will follow. 1t is believed, however
that this is quite likely now.
The line Of policy upon which a ma
3ority of the ministers agree, indicat
ing that some, at least, Of the anti
conscriptionist sections of the cabinet

sent to a modified application OF force

No Truce or Touch Of Holiday Spirit
Between Fighting Armies-Press
Attacks Asquith.


-
Observation-Disclosures passed without
heavy fighting anywhere on the Euro
pean fronts. 1t passed also without a
truce, which gave a touch Of humanity
to Christmas days a year ago. The
United Kingdom, however, witnesses
q general abandonment Of the truce
between the political parties. which
was observed during the early months
Of the WAT and which apparently was
cemented for the duration OF the war
when the coalition government was
formed.
The PEST week has seen Q steady
growth Of the Newspaper attacks on
the government. the general burden Of
which Is the slowness, the lack Of fore
sight and decision and the mismanage-
ment Of the Dardanelles Enterprises.
While all newspapers disclaim any
partisan motives all the more promi-
nent ones participating in the opposi-
tion belong to the conservative party
with the exception of the Manchester
Guardian.
The newspapers generally hold Pre-
mier AsQuith responsible for the con-
duct of affairs. The Northcliffe grddp,
headed by the Times and the Daily
Mail, with the support Of the Morning
Post. was Joined by the Observer.
which is the foremost Sunday paper,
and the referee which has q large au-
dience among the masses.
David Lloyd-George is the only can
didate advanced for succession. He
commanded Lord N%orthcliffe's support
some time ago in his speech charging
the government with being too late"
At the most important crisis Of the
war. and at the same time gained for
himself . larger following.
Tho verdict Of union labor ON Mr..
Lloyd Georges appeal to relax union
rules in munitions works to permit Of
the entry Of $4,000 unskilled laborers
is awaited with interest. One hundred
and fifty delegates to the Engineering
Society met in London to consider
terms for settling all differences with
the government.
Speculation over the development
Of an attack on the entente allies at
Saloniki continues. Some papers
credit the central powers with a plan
to bear down ON Saloniki from three
sides. the Germans forming the CEN
ter with the Turks and, Bulgarians on
the left and right wings, respectively.
From different correspondents come
various reports on the situation in the
Balkans. some ~contending that the
%Bulgarians have accomplished all the
territorial gains within their imme-
date ambitions and. therefore, will not
move further. Other correspondents
represent them as being determined
to extend their boundaries to include
the important port Of Saloniki.
Germany probably is confronted
with the problem of reconciling the
conflicting ambitions Of her two Bal.
kan allies. Turkey and Bulgaria, and
also trying to keep the friendship of
Greece. whose support she is credited
with still hoping to gain.
The latest reported Greek move is
the prohibition Of the export Of food
supplies from Greece to the Franco.
English army at Saloniki. Gen. Castel-
nau, chief Of the French general staff,
has visited King Constantine and met
the Greek army staff and the ministers
Of the allied countries.

Governor Brewer has been busily
engaged putting the finishing touches
on his biennial message to the legisla.
ture.
The document will not be one OF
great length. although the governor Is
reviewing the work Of his administers
ton. analysing the reports from the
various departments Of the govern
ment. and setting forth some recon-
mendations to the lawmaking body.
The day of delivery for the message
is uncertain. The Legislature will con.
ven January 8, but 1t may take two
days to dispose Of the speakership and
clerkship contests. Until these offices
are filled the legislature will not be or.
ganized for business, and no c0mmuni.
cations from the executive department
will be received until notification is
sent to the governor that both branch
es are ready for business.
"The real progress shown by farm
ers and stockmen during the past nine
years has net been equalled. or even
approached. during any previous Pc
Rod Of the states history" says H.
e. Blakeslee, head Of the state depart.
ment Of agriculture and commerce.. In
his report to be submitted to the In
coming legislature.
Mr.. Blakeslee's report also tells IN
detail the splendid work that has
been accomplished in the rural educa.
ton and club lines. His report in
dealing with this phase says:
mississippi has more agricultural
high schools than any state In the
Union. and more ars building. These
splendid institutions are supplying q
demand for practical education along
the lines necessary for boys and girls
who will be the men and women on
the farms of tomorrow"
Interesting comment on other work
done by the department is as follows:
The live stock in Mississippi Is cas-.
lily worth $50. 900 900 more than 1t was
nine years ago. And one OF the great.
est BENEFITS derived from tho increase
Of the live stock industry is in the re.
building Of our tired cotton lands. to

"As a necessary adjunct to the live
stock industry. silos have grown in

Comment is made on the eradication
Of the cattle tick, the handling OF hog

Through the agency Of the live stock

federal veterinarians, the mortality in
Mississippi has been reduced to less

ST. LOUIS, March 11.-With
hope of developing a first base
man and third sacker from among
the spring lineup of bushers,
manager Branch Hickey of the
Browns took his squad of 81
men to Houston, Texas, to begin
the spring training. Hickey Is
confident that his team will make
better showing in the 1915
campaign than was made last
year. His reason is developed
from frank line of philosophy
Earl Hamilton and Walter
Leverenz can't be worse than
they were in 1914" he said,
land therefore I can't see how
we're going to be any worse than
last year. Now, with the holes
plugged, and the two pitchers
back In reasonable form. the
Browns are certain to be an I'm
proved team. The other teams
of the circuit have no such pros

Therefore, how can the Browns
