BRITAIN TO TURN
To C0NSCR|P ION
EARL OF DERBY's PLAN FAILS TO
GET RECRUITS NECESSARY
FOR THE WAR.

London, Dec. 29.-It is stated on
excellent authority that the cabinet
has virtually decided upon a modified
form of conscription bill to be intro
duced in the house of commons next
week, giving the government the
necessary power, should it be found
needful, to bring in single men and
preserve Premier Asquiths pledge to
married men.
Yesterdays cabinet meeting, al
though it failed to secure an agree
ment of all the ministers upon the
vexed question of the voluntary sys-
tenn versus conscription, was of very
critical and decisive character, and
virtually reached the decision that the
application of force may become
necessary before all eligible single
men are effectually brought to the
colOrs.
Therefore, it was resolved that at
the earliest opportunity 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 to
this end.
Premier Asquith is expected to
make a statement on the whole ques-
ton in the house of commons on We'd
nesday or Thursday of next week and
announce the speedy Introduction Of
bill Of permissive character, max
ing service in the army obligatory on
unmarried men who have failed to en-
list under the Derby scheme.

= London, Dec. 29.-The fierce fight
front OF which mention is made in
both Russian and Austrian official
L statements, seems to support the fore
casts that Russia, instead of directly
attacking Bulgaria, hopes to reduce
the pressure on the entente allies in
the Balkans and Asia Minor and i'm
press Rumania and Greece by diver
sion to the north with the intent, If
possible, of break through the Aus
trian lines.
simultaneously comes news of the
capture by the Russians of Kashan,
& one of the principal cities Of Persia,
and Of an advance toward 1spahan.
These points are two remote for their
occupation directly to menace the
Turks who are fighting the British un-
der General Townshend on the Tigris,
but undoubtedly the Russian advance
!. will have an important political effect
AnPersia and possibly an influence on
ghe projected movement OF the central
powers against Egypt.
Conflicting accounts come from
Athens and Saloniki regarding the
movementsof the troops Of the central
powers on the Macedonian border, but
there are persistent reports that the
Greeks have given the Bulgarians per-
mission to cross the border II they
and their allies are still intent on fol-
lowing the entente troops to Saloniki.
The recent French official state
Ments indicate that the allies are
maintaining the offensive in the west,
with the fighting fiercest in the
Vosges.
