net held a most interesting meeting
this morning, at which they thrashed
out, pro and con, the question as TO
whether England must force her men
to enlist in order to win this war.
Some time ago Premier Asquith piom-
ised that married men should not be
forced to the colors. and the cabinet
voted to respect that promise and to
include in conscription only unmar-
ried men, and they will be forced to
enlist and go to the front, in case
they are needed.
The cabinet meeting this morning
was not a final decision on the matter
