ASQUITHS PLAN
is TOO MILD FOR
SOME MEMBERS

Lcndor Dec. 3G.-The Daley Express
today asserts that there il a group of
at least three unionists in the cabinet
led hy the Earl of Selborn. president
of the board of agriculture, who are
likely to resign because Premier AS
nulths plan for modified form of
conscription does not so far enough.
These men contend that it is wrong
to force all the single men to serve in
the army when there is a large proper
ton of married men who could be
spared more easily and that altogeth-
cr the premier's plan is a useless COM
promise, says the paper. The Express
therefore anticipates a fair crop of
designations among the supporters of
voluntary enlistments and the deter
mined conscriptionists but say that the
designations viii not be serious enough
to imperil the existence of the govern
ment. The paper also expresses the
opinion that the Earl of Derby, direc-
tor of recruiting. will find a place in
the reconstructed ministry.

the secretary's public declaration which
had attracted much favorable attention
among the Latin Americans because of
us suggestion that all the Pan-Ameri-
can nations should. If necessary, con-
stitute united bulwark against any
unjust invasion or aggression upon a
nelshbor, was discussed in some detail
and uniformly, it is understood, the
americans expressed their appro-
baton of Mr.. Lansing's statements
The technical form in which the new
proposal was made was not disclosed
today but there are indications that it
took the usual form Of memorandum
to the diplomats and was in such Off
cial form as could be transmitted to
their home governments as the basis
for action
One of the first clements of the pro-
posal. which has for one of it's ulti-
mate objects the welding of a thorough
~ united America, is the preservation
of peace on the American continent. 1t
is realized that the 'chief menaces to
such a peace are boundary disputes and
revolutionary activity. 1t is pointed
out that if all boundary disputes are
removed to the realm of arbitration and
all the Pan-American nations bind
themselves to absolutely prohibit ship
ments of war munitions to any other
than established governments, peace
among the nations themselves, would
practically be assured and the atten-
ton of all the American nations could
be devoted to what Secretary Lansing
expressed in his speech working out
their destinies. Many of Mr.. Lansings
declarations to the Pan-American con-
gress took on added significance today
i'll the light of his proposals to the
Latin American republics.

GRIP EPIDEMIC
NOW Prevalent
AND DANGEROUS

New York. Dec. 30.-Physicians and
surgeons were warned by the New
York health department today to de-
lay operations upon the nose and
throat until the epidemic Of the grip,
now prevailing. is ended. DR.. D. Bry-
son Delevan, at whose suggestion the
warning was issued, asserted that
physicians learned during the great
grip epidemic of 1895 that nasal opera
lions could not be successfully per-
formed when such an epidemic was
prevalent.
when the grip prevails, any opera
ton on the nose is apt to be followed
by an acute attack Of influenza, al
though up to the time Of the operation
the patient may have shown no signs
Of any such trouble" said DR.. Delavan.
