CONSCR|P ton IS

Threatens Serious Split in Brit
ish Cabinet.
SITUATION is VERY DELICATE

\ -
A. J. ealfour ResoIuteIy Opposes Com.
pulsory Military Service and 10 Said
to Be Supported by Majority Of
the Ministers.
London, Dec. 2s.-That the proceed
, ings of the British cabinet have not
Deen going smoothly is seen in the
! fact that after a two hours sitting
the council was obliged to adjourn, no
! decision regarding compulsory mill
tary service having been reached, and
the discussion having revealed great
differences of opinion.
The Times parliamentary CORE
spondent asserts that the position is
undeniably delicate and may become
critical unless handled with firmness
and decision.
The Daily Mail asserts that Andrew
Bonar Law, secretary for the colonies,
and Lord Kitchener, the war minister,
have not yet made their position clear,
while A. J. Balfour, first lord of the
admiralty, resolutely opposes compul-
sion, in which he is supported by
majority of the ministers.
But David Lloyd-George, the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, Earl Curzon, Sir
Frederick Smith, J. Austen Chamber
lain, Walter Hume Long and the Earl
of Selbourne advocate immediate CON-
pulsion.
Mr. Lloyd-George, the Mail adds, be-
fore the sitting of the council, made
his position clear to Premier Asquith
in message intimating that unless
Mr.. Asquith adheres to his pledge to
apply compulsion to unmarried slack
ers," if they failed to present them
selves for attestation under Lord Der
by's recruitment scheme, he could not
continue as member of the govern
ment.
The Morning Telegraph and the
Chronicle, anti-compulsion organs, also
are apprehensive of crisis or gen.
eral election.

judges to avoid the crowding of their

only way to accomplish this is TO keep

Dear Betty Brown: The letter pub
lished recently in your column signed
Disappointed" is very interesting
from the masculine standpoint. Per-
sonally. agree with the writer, for
can sec no necessity or in fact any
reason at all for man kissing a girl
good night, provided he is not engaged
to her. Looking at the proposition
from the point of view of man who
feels as she does on the question ol
rromiscuous kissing, however, condi
tions are simply reversed. When
man is invited to call on a present da,
girl, he is never certain whether OF
not he is expected to kiss her goot
night. If he does not Kiss her he ma!
be considered slow and be no longe
welcome; if he attempts to kiss he
and is repulsed he is never sure whetn
er this is due to personal dislike or Z
consideration similar to those ao
yanced by Disappointed" II he a.
tempts to kiss her and succeeds, HI
estimation of the standard Of the +
male sex is lowered. Men are but hs
The Hattiesburg news., 1915-11-05

But the young man Of the present
day is by no means so inflammable to
the fires of the tender passion. He
needs lot of encouragement. He is,
indeed, timid swimmer in the matri-
monial sea. 1t certainly is difficult to
imagine him wrapping wet towel
round his aching head to pump up
sonnet to an eyebrow!"
This is all very true. So far from
over-much sonnet-writing, it is about
as much as the modern lover can do
to write a picture postcard, and even
that is going out of date! He is as,
coy and skittish as any heroine of a
Victorian novel. It used to take three
thick volumes of some 600 pages each
to persuade the bashful damsel to
bring to marry the gallant hero!
Nowadays it would seem that the
boot is on the other foot, and the mod
ern young man is by no means so SEN
sitive to the attacks of Cupid as his
father and his grandfather were. I'm
like these gallant heroes, he does not
take the plunge at 23, but hangs on
the tree like an over-ripe apple till
somewhere about the, 30's.
That women should propose Is stern
ly advocated by many members Of th'
gentler sex. They do not believe il
remaining songless love birds, bu
wish to carol their sentiments to thu
: heavens-or, preferably, to the neal
est eligible young man.
Another and more subtle type is tn
: practised flirt, that feminine subms
rine whose wiles have torpedoed man
. bachelor craft! Ships that pass i
l the night have little chance agains
7 her deadly aim.
: AS customs stand today, it is, unto
a tunately the bold type of maiden wh
e too often wins out in the end, whil
r the bashful, retiring damsel is apt
be overlooked in the race mtarimcaia
- bTl
s Yet men to the end of the chapt'
d will always prefer to do their ov
r wooing. 1t is survival from anciel
II savagery. To this day, certain trib'
t of the Esquimaux drag their suppos,
d reluctant brides from the ancestr
o home and club them out of their sh
o. ness, while some of the South 8
ID Islanders use the same gentle met
DDS for feminine subjugation.
