ARNOt.D BENNETT g. one Of the
n most vigorous opponents Of
conscr;ption. lie asserts that
"ih2 e~ssentia. character 81 the war,
after fourteen months, g. plain, IL
Is a war OF obstinacy. II is q war
OF sticking 10 H." Therefore, in
stead Of recruiting now armies, Eng.
land should devote he energies TO
curtailing expenses. to outstanding
resources
There appears 10 be sense In this
argument. The present demand for
n .inimum Of $4,000 recruits n day
viii certainly add much 10 England $
financial burden. In view OF the ap.
parent military situation It may no,
accomplish commensurate results.
The resources Of England arc great.
but sho is already supporting an
army OF 10000 o men and IL
sending supplies to a like number
OF allied soldiers. Mr.. Bennett sums
w the matter ag f0llows:
Tho wal IL costing Germany. with

II the discrepancy between imports

URGING MUNICIPAL COURT.

With Idea of MAKING CHANGE.

Ottumwa, Jan. 2s.-The municipal
court project which was limited at
several months ago has shown actir-
ity again and it is probable fhat a
nun Der of lawyers in Dttumwa will
investigate the new idea thoroughly
with the hope OF "A new court esta3-
ltshed here. The lawyers who have
been looking into the matter are all
in favor Of the new court and Il meet
ing may be called this week by the
members of the bar to find out how the
majority OF the lawyers stand on tiic
question of a municipal court.
