The total number of bachelors forced

threatening that If it did not get them
this summer the seventy divisions, in
the event Of costly hghting. this summer
and autumn. could not be kept at full
strength next year, as was promised
France and Russia.
Where Trouble Began.
Here the trouble in the government be-
gan, for available men in England are
getting scarce. Something like 100000
are in the navy or working for the navy,
another 100000 are in munition works
and more than $4,000 are in the army.
The supply is not unlimited. Those who
are left, influential interests claim, are
needed to keep the trade Of the country
going and thus sustain the credit which
Is keeping the allies, as we'll as Britain.
in the ring
The cabinet divided. Lloyd George,
minister for munitions, is an out-and-out
compulsionist opposed by Runciman.
president of the board OF trade, and Nc
Kenna, chancellor Of the excheQuer who,
on behalf Of trade and finance. demand
that enough men be left in civil life to
keep the country solvent Asquith has
devoted all his energies, SO far success
fully, to trimming.
The present situation indicates that
compuIsion for the married men of mill
tary age is inevitable, but that the gov
ernment has decided that the claim OF
the army must not be allowed to over
weigh other considerations. Lord Derby's
report showed that out of the soil Al un-
enlisted men OF military age in the coun-
try, excluding Ireland. when he began
his canvass last October, about $50 OOO
married men not engaged on war work
refused to join by the middle of Decem-
ber. COnsCription, at present, Is in force
for unmarried men. so these 10000 mar
ried men are all that remain available
for the army unless men are taken from
so-called indispensable" occupations.
Mr.. AsQuith announced in secret
session recently that 200noO Of these men
must join as needed. If 5000 have not
Joined by May q, a compulson bill will

May q. for fifteen weeks, 1900 men do
not enlist. the reCalCitrant married men
will be cOnecripted. Meanwhile, it seems
certain that boys of IS will h" conscripted

as soon as they reach that age, although
Asquith was forced to withdraw a bill
to this effect yesterday in view of the
clamor against forcing boys to fight while
the 10000 married men still hold out.
Number Wanted.
The point to note about this is that
the government only asks for 100000 mar
ried men. This means that it is willing
that the other 55OO0, of whom perhaps
225,OO0 are unfit, should escape, evidently
the pleas from commercial leaders and
bankers not to drain the country's indus
tries OF men have had some weight as
against the army chiefs.
The seventy British divisions which it
may be assumed are now in the field are
not, of course, all in France. There are
troops in Egypt. perhaps eight divisions
possibly India has six divisions; there
are not less than six divisions In Mesopo-
tamia; probably one in East Africa, and,
according to the Germans, two at Sa-
lonih The rest may be under Sir Doug
las Haig on the western front. The sew
enty divisions do not include troops at
home or in Ireland. A considerable army
under Sir John French is always ready
to repulse an invasion from across the
North Sea, but the existence OF this
force here is not really handicap to the
army in France, for the home armies
