After reviewing carefully the con-
dition under which recruiting had been
carried out, the premier said, 1t had
been decided that the men required

piecemeal treatment of the question
which had given rise to so much OBJ
lection.
Speeches made in the last week, es-
pecially by labor representatives, he
said, encouraged the belief that there
was a general desire to settle the
whole matter once and for all, and
get it finally out of the way. He
hoped that would be the effect of the
bill to be introduced today, providing
for immediate general compulsion for
men of military age.

London, May 3.-Rumors that Aug
Justine Birrell, chief secretary of Ire
land. had rendered his resignation to
Premier Asquith because of the Irish
rebellion were in circulation today fol-
lowing Birrelrs return from Dublin.
The Daily Chronicles parliament
Correspondent reported it was rumor-
ell in the House of Commons that not

eral other officials have resigned.
1t is certain Birrell will be under
heavy fire when the motion for his
resignation is called up for debate in
the House of Commons.
No official information is obtainable
on the course the government will
take toward the rebels brought to
England. 1t was pointed out at the
BOer revolution earlier in the war on
ly the leaders were executed, the gov
eminent treating the ranks and reb-
els to have been led on the grounds
of misleadership.

sible for the Irish outbreak, has re-
signed from the .abinet.
Asuuith stated all three Irish re.
