MELBOURNE, Australia, November
Tho anti-conscription lead in the
balloting on the question of compul-
sorry military service is only slightly
reduced in the latest returns. which
show the following results: Against
conscription. s66.000; for conscription
$4,000. 1t will be a considerable time
before the actual result Is known.
The newspapers are discussingrecon
ciliation between the conscriptfonists
and anti-conscriptionists and 1aborites
but the future depends entirely upon
the attitude Of Premier Hughes. The
political situation is tense.
At Sydney about twenty labor mem
bers of the state parliament have with
drawn their support from w. A. Hol-
man, premier of New South Wales, and
formed a new party, while the minister
for labor and industry. John Estell
has resigned. his portfolio owing to
differences over conscription. -.

A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
pany of London from Melbourne, un-
der date of October 27. said that Messrs
Gardiner, Russell and Higgs had ten
dered their designations owing to their

The commission appears to show

pt companies seem to meet its
prejudice, yet the telephone utility is
praised in the commissions report; yet
this utility. has neither definite rate
per call established, nor a definite me-

eit to it's private contracts and bind
n to do as it pleases as regards teie-

charges are several times that OF the

its valuation is. placed last on the list

Postscript Story.
EFFECT THE SAME, HE SAYS

By the Associated Press.
NORTH ADAMS. Mass. November 1.
The alleged weakening postscript to
the Lusitania note to Germany regard
ing "strict accountability" was again
referred to by Senator Lodge at po-
litical meeting here last night
"The President of the United States
has denied that there was any post
script to the Lusitania note. and we are
all bound, of course. to accept the Pres
ident's denial just as he makes'1t," said
Senator Lodge
II need hardly say" he added, that
I would not willingly bring an un-
founded charge against any one, high
or low, and if misled into doing so L
should be quick to retract 1t. The
President makes one mistake.
Not Author of Charge.
The statement which he character
ICES as untrue, that there was such
postscript, was not mine, but was MADE
by Mr.. Breckenridge. a former assist
ant secretary of war, according to the
evidence of two independent witnesses,
both gentlemen of high character, re-
Breckinridge was in a position to know
if, as he is reported to have said. he
had seen the postscript. Bearing In
mind the public and hitherto uncon-
troverted fact that Mr.. Bryan had in
formed the Austro- Hungarian ambas-
sador that the strict accountability
note of May Is meant nothing, which
fact was at once cabled by the ambas-
vii 1nd n Y11o
Mr.. Breckinridge's statement, as testi-
fed by two independent witnesses,
ought properly to be laid before the
public.
Covered Exact Proposition.
THE President, it will also be OBJ
served, says that the clause proposing
arbitration was suggested and that
after consideration he rejected it. The
suggestion rejected by the President
covered the exact proposition said by
Mr.. Breckenridge to have been en-
bodied in the postscript, and may have
been what Mr. Breckinridge had in
mind when talking to DR.. Bailey and
Mr.. Jeffries about the postscript which
was rejected without having been re-
ferred to the cabinet, and it may also
have been the reason for Mr.. Bryan's
statement TO the AuStTO-dunSdTldn
ambassador that the note meant moth
ing.
II would also call your attention to a
statement by Mr.. Charles Warren, a re-
publican presidential elector of New
Jersey, who states that he was told by
a member of President Wilson's official
family that the proposition to arbi-
trate the loss of life on the Lusitania
was to be embodied in a note to Am
bassador Gerard, and was not to be
