Premier Introduces Bill In

Army to a Total Of 4,OOO,-

London, Dec. 21.-Premier As
quith today sought to call 100000
more men to the British standard.
To this end he introduced a bin for
such a number, bringing England's
total troops to 100000
At the same time he announced
transfer Of Sir William Robertson.
chief OF stan in France. to the post
OF chief Of the imperial general staff,
succeeding Sir Arthur Murray. who,
he said, is going to an important
command" Murray's new post is be-
lieved to be Egypt.
As for the Dardaneiles withdraw

counseled by Earl Kitchener. who re-
Gently visited that region. by General
Monro. in charge OF the expedition.
and by other military and naval men.
In Withdrawing the men England suf-
fered only slight losses; her supplies
we're removed virtually intact.
Without giving the total number Of
.enlistments gained through Lord
Derby's volunteer campaign, Asquith
had praise for Derby, whose work he
characterized as affording "a strenu-
Gus exhibition Of patriotism"
From the fact that the premier did
not mention the subject Of conscrip-
tion. 1t was taken that Derby's cam
paign had obviated the need for such
a step, at least for the present.
But, in moving for passage Of the
bill providing an additional million
troops, Asquith referred to the heavy
toll that the war has taken on both
sides, necessitating the filling up the
gaps OF death.
"At the end OF 16 months" he
said. I'VE are lighting in the various
theaters with about 1,250,000 men
and 1t Is necessary to augment them"
In September Asquith informed the
house of commons that s,000.000
men had enlisted, while in November
he declared that nearly 100000
were engaged in France and
Flanders.
While all of the 5000. 900 men are

them are In training in England. the

provided he adheres to strict neu-
trality and makes no effort to foster
n new revolution against tho Car
ranzista regime.
vilhsta and Carransista heads have
signed peace articles. These give
control to the Carranzistas In the
territory where "pancho" villa once
held sway. The state OF chihuahua
and the cities OF Juarex and Chihua-

can not be paid, the trouble. II is
feared, may start at once.
With the signing OF peace articles
nearly eight years OF revolution came

himself rise almost TO controlling
power within Mexico, only to be over
whelmed by General Carranza, with
whom no broke after they had been
