LONDON, April 2O.-The whole nation was surprised and the great majority of the people were cheered by the unexpected announcement to the cabinet meeting this morning that the cabinet deadlock over the Ques- ton of extending military conscrip- tion had been compromised. Thus the country is saved from the anvious days il would have suffered until parliament reassembles on Tuesday and from the newspaper controversy which would have ragged meantime. The labor party which was the only political group united against further measures of compulsion is credited with paving the way to the agreement. The leader of the labor party. Arthur Henderson, president of the board ot education proposed, according to the reports. q further trial of voluntary enlistments. with the promise that the laborists would consent to a gradual extension of conscription if it proved necessary to secure the number of men which military authorities con slider essential The labor members together with others demanded that they be informed on the exact posi- tion-what number of men had all ready been enrolled and pledged: how many the war office requires to enlarge the army and replace the wasting casualties and other causes. Consequently a secret session of both houses will be convened Tuesday at which the government will supply full information.
 An official statement tonight de- clares that the settlement satisfies all shades of opinion represented in the government and emphasizes the sole reason for the secret session is to sup ply confidential information to the members.

 Mining men are divided in opinion as to the merits of the new law Many pronounce il eminently fair. and say they will pay their tax with pleasure.

The present law does moi limit the number of claims which may may be developed and some Of the larger mining companies have as many as 1900: each claim represent ing one hectare or approximately two and one half acres.

 Mir. Baker explained today that he himself had suggested the plan of sending General Scott. In weighing the situation on the border. he said the inadequacy of the telegraphie re- ports received and the lack of local condition surrounding the force on tha border and in Mexico. was SO appar- cni that il seemed desirable that an effort be made 10 ascertain by per sonal consultation the full views of General Funston and all of the nfOr- nation he has.

 Reports from Mexico reaching the State department also will be avail able As far as known, these tell of in creased rather than lessened ditter- ences surrounding the expedition. An instance of this is the report that an unknown number of Carrsnza troops have been moved tO the ParTal re giGn. where General PeIshinS's most advanced base now is located. The observer who reported this added that while the movement he believed was not authorized by the de facto govern ment it was evident as a hint that the Americans must move.
 The diplomatic situation showed no change during the day. although iJ became known that the United States already had received CsrTanza's note asking that negotiations for the with drawal of American troops De .ia~ren- ed hut there's nothing to indicate that reply stating the position of the United States was being drafted.

Igel. but the documents.
 Although MT. Marshall refused to reveal the basis for his firm stand, it was learned from other federal off cers that he was fully prepared 10 furnish the State Department with evidence to prove th-t the lease for the von Papen office, the point upon which the endtirely hinges, was drawn in the name of von lgel.
 Won Igel. he contends, was not a member of ambassador von Berns- torff's official family until December 1915, and he doubted if he could be classified as a member even after that period. The lease for the offices, federal authorities state, was made out by von Igel during the time that he had not officially connected with the German embassy.
 MT. Marshall said he had turned the inquiry on this point over to Captain Wm. B. Offley, of the de- partment of justice who conducted the investigation which returned evidence against von Papen, von Igel and three others on the charge of conspiracy to blow up the Welland Canal.
 MT. Marshall denied officially that the conspiracy has disclosed now plots or a German spy system in this country.

enough to keep his chin OF the ground.

most difficult things that had to be con-
tended with: for IT was no easy matter
TO procure children for the gnomes bright
and attentive enough to follow the lessons
given them as to what to do and how to
do 1t. Then, too, a river had to be di-
Verted from its course to secure a neces-

children were fearful lest some harm come
TO their little ones, and to satisfy them it
was found necessary to defray the ex-
penses OF all the parents during the entire

made A special building was erected
with trained nurses and physicians in

ones and their parents Exhibitions of
