LEVER RE-INTRODOCES
 COTTON FUTURES BILL
Though He Believes Present Law Constitutional, Wishes to Make
 Regulation Court Proof.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The federal cotton futures bill, regulating cotton exchanges, was reintroduced in the house today by Representative Lever of South Carolina. The measure was recently declared unconstitutional by Justice Howe of the federal district court of New York.
 In a statement accompanying ms bill, Representative Lever said:
 Since Judge Howe's decision, l have consulted many of the lawyers in beth the senate and the house. Their opinion is substantially unanl- nous that the supreme court would not uphold Judge Howe. Neverthe less, if the supreme court should sustain Judge Howe, the cotton trade would be so much upset and dlsor- ganized during the period ;nterven- ing between the supreme court decl- sion and a reconsideration of the question by congress, that have deemed it the part of prudence. Tn the public interest, to submit to con gress the bill for re-enactment oi the statute." .Ns

Works Charges Government Is Morally Guilty of Mur-
 der by Negligence.
AMERICANS SHOULD
 BE KEPT AT HOME
Lodge and Stone Defend Sale of Muni- tiOns, Declaring Embargo at This Time Would Make United States
 Ally of Germany.

Washington, Jan. 5-Disregarding the urgent appeal of the president to refrain from public discussion of sub marine warfare and the deaths of American citizens, pending negotia- tions between this county and Aus tria, the senate this afternoon engag- ca in it's most sensational debate since the outbreak of the European war. ."
 Senator works of California charged that the government. by req son of its failure to keep American citiz:ns off belligerent ships, was morally guilty Of murder. He made a strong appeal for an embargo on eAportation of arms and ammunition tc the allies.
 Senator Lodge and others urged the such action at the present time would he unneutral, and would make the United States practically the ally of Germany.
 Senator Hitchcock advanced a strict embargo and in it declared that in not doing what all the North sea countries have done, this country is unneutral and favoring the allies.
 Sanator Reed of Missouri. Demo- crat, defended the sale of munitions trade. This statement caused Sena- tor Works to retort that the whole trouble was that the American pec- pie thought more of the dollars they are making out of the war than of the human life being destroyed.
 The debate was significant in the sentiment developed in favor of ac- tion to prohibit the exportation Of munitions, and to make it unlawful for American citizens to travel on belligerent ships
 Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign relations committee, made several unsuccessful attempts to stop the discussion. He suggested later. however, that the debate was not without value, as it afforded some- thing in the way of an index to the sentiment of the senate on questions that would come up for consideration later. fl HM
 Senator Jones of Washington, a strong advocate of peace. precipitat- ct the debate. He had the clerk read an editorial in a local morning paper which took the position that Amer jeans could hIelp their country by keeping off vessels belonging to belligerents.
 Senator Jones said Americans who persisted in travelling on ships be- longing to belligerents displayed a lack of patriotism.

Many Members of Commons Return from War Fronts
 to Vote on Measure.
IRELAND, MARRIED MEN ARE EXEMPT
Under Terms of Proposed Law, Bach. elOrs and WidOWers With None De- pendent UDOn Them Will Be Com. pelled to Serve in Army.

london, Jan 5.-Premier Asquith opened the breach for conscriLtion in Great Britain proper, by introducing the military service bill in the house of commons this afternoon. The measure provides for modified con- scription. Ireland is excluded from it's scope.
 The age limits prescribed on the bill are IS and 41. It applies solely to bachelors and widowers without children depending on them.
 This is the first time since the days of feudalism that an effort has been made to force conscription upon the British people.
 The bill was introduced during the most remarkable session the mother of parliament" has ever witnessed Many of the members were attired in khaki. They had hurried from the trenches in Flanders, Greece, the Dardanesses, and other fronts to take part in the momentous fighting.
 immediately after the premier had completed his introductory speech, a fight was opened on the bill by Sir John Simon, former home secretary who resigned from the cabinet be- cause of hfs. opposition to conscrip- ton. ts.
 The introduction of the bill is re- garded as the prelude to one of the most bitter fights in parliament in modern times.
 Asquith Vill Resaep If Beat.
 Duringa thu diseussion that followed the premj6r's address, Bonar Law leader of the Conservative party and secretary of colonial affairs, in the coalition cabinet, remarked:
 "The premier is convinced that compulsion is a matter of national necessity, and if the house decides that no necessity exists, then the house musf make up it's mind that the war will have to be finished with out the assistance of the present pre- nier."
 The bill becomes a law IA days after royal assent is given to it. Three weeks later all males who fall within it's jurisdiction automatically become enlisted men.
 Men working in national industries or at trades classified as "indispensi- bie." are excluded. Supporters oi poor persons, those in ill health, or suffering from inflrmities, are also excluded.
 While the measure is taking its course in parliament, single men will be given another chance to en- list under the voluntary system. The group system of recruiting will be re- opened and volunteers will be allow ed to attest for future service as wal done under the Derby scheme.
 The bill does not apply to men not generally resident in the United Kingdom. or to clergymen. or those already members of the army ant navy.
 Irish Will Oppose.
 John Redmond stated in the house of commons that the Irish party would not support the government'' bill for compulsory military service
 "The bill is unnecessary to win thu war,'' said the Irish leader. If thu party were convinced that the pas sage of the bill was necessary to ent the war. their attitude would be ei1 tirely different. but nothing has ye been said which would change m. hostility to conscription."
