Delegates representing two million
workers evinced strong opposition
to the governments conscription bill
at the opening of the labor conven-
ton here today. The leaders pre-
dicted a bitter debate over a reso-
luton prepared by radical laborites
suggesting that the convention ap-
prove a general strike against con-
scription. There were marked diff.
ferences OF opinion as to the best
method by which opposition can be
expressed most effectively.
The convention is regarded as the
most important I'm the history OF
British labor unions, not only be-
cause conscription is an issue, but
because OF labor's attitude toward
taxation and toward peace sugges-
tions to be discussed.
II fear England Is attempting an
impossible task" said William Craw-

On the other hand Germany Is
not ANXIOUS to invade Denmark.
The Germans receive supplies of
food through Deamark's neutral
ports despite the British blockade.
Germany realizes that England
would blockade these ports IL oc-
cupled by Germans. Furthermore,
Germany does not want To Increase
her troubles with more eonqne~ts
that would make IL necessary to de-
fend Dcnmark's long shore line
against the possible landing of al

England also gets large supplies
of food from the Danes. III Den

that "A tacit agreement exists where

Arc Germanu,s Babies Staruinq?
(From The New York Tribune)

Much Of the current comment on
Dr. Won Mach's benevolent activities
must seem harsh and even inhuman
unless due allowance is made for
very prevalent skepticism. The skepti-
cism is sufficiently apparent i'm some
of the letters printed in another col
umn, and there is undoubtedly some
justification for Il. II Is unfortunate
that German propagandists seem
never to be able to make up their
minds whether to laugh or to whine at
the work of the British navy One
day they tell MS that all efforts TO
cut of Germanys supplies are vain
and ridiculous. because Germany is
abundantly able to support herself.
Next day. on a hint perhaps from
headquarters. they begin with one ac-
cord TO snuffle and grow pathetic over
Germany's starving babies or Ger
many's heroic nurses who are exposed
TO Infection because cruel England
will not let them have rubber gloves.
