ENGLISH CABINET
VOTE CONSUMPTION
ONE MEMBER RESIGNS WHEN
PRINCIPLE OF COMPULSloN
is DECIDED UPON.
Government viii Be Given Power TO
Bring In Single Men and Pre-
serve Premier Asquth's
Pledge to Single Men.

London.-It is stated on excellent
authority that the cabinet has virtu
ally decided upon modified form OF
CONSUMPTION bill to be introduced In
the house OF commons next week. civ
ing the government the necessary
power, should 1t be found needful, to
bring in single men and preserve
Premier Asquiths pledge to married
men.
According to the Times, the cabi-
net decided on Tuesday by a MAORI
ty vote that it is bound by Premier
Asquith's pledge and generally APP
proved the principle of compulsion
as consequence of the results OF
Lord Derby's recruiting campaign.
Thereupon, Chancellor Mckenna
and Mr.. Runciman, president of the
board of trade, rendered their resig
nations. They did so partly as pro-
test against compulsion and partly be-
cause of the effect which the cabi.
nets policy would have on the finan-
empire.
The designations have not been ac-
cepted, 1t is possible that other min
listers may follow the example Of Mr..
McKenna and Mr.. Runciman.
The divisions which appeared in the
cabinet Monday were in large meas
ure composed Tuesday. The cabinet
was in session over two hours. There
was full attendance of ministers. 1t
Is understood that Lord Derbys re-
port was subjected to thorough an
alysis.
AS a result OF the discussion the
cabinet reached something like unan-
unity and came to definite under
standing on the subject of Mr.. AS
quith's pledge to married recruits,
and this understanding will form the
basis of future action.

SINKING Of ANCONA
CAUSES TROUBLE
PROSPECTS OF A SATISFACTORY
SETTLEMENT WITH AUSTRIA
GIVEN A SETBACK.
Austria Holds That the Ancona Case
Comes In the Same Category as the
Lusitania Case, Which is Still the
Subject of Negotiations.

Washington.-The prospect OF sat
sfactory settlement of the controversy
with Austria over the sinking OF the
Ancona was given setback on Fri
| day when confidential information was
received in Washington as to the at
titude of the Austrian government.
The possibility of break between the
two governments was at once revived.
The communications from Austria,
which came through diplomatic chan
nels, purport to give also an outline of
the probable reply of the Austrian
government.
According to these advices Austria
holds that the Ancona case comes in
the same category as the Lusitania
case, which is still the subject of ne
gotiations between the United State )
and Germany. The reason for this, it
Is stated, is that Austria has never
given instructions to the commanders
Of her submarines to observe the
rules of recognized international law
both understand ii n at the presen
time, which provide that vessels shall
not be torpedoed without full warning
and without provision for the safety
OF every person on board.
This has come as a shock to officials
of this government, inasmuch as it in
dicates that the commander, in torpe
doing the Ancona without waiting for
all passengers and members of the
crew to take to the boats, was acting
under general authority of his govern
ment.

where the Southern has provided elab-
crate facilities for feeding. watering and
resting stock. Stock for the st. Louis
market will be concentrated at Birming-
ham and move to ST. Louis on the spe-
cial live stock trains of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad.
The special service from ST. Louis to
Atlanta Is in connection with the Mo-
bile and Ohio, leaving st. Louis at s

A. C.L. CONDUCTOR
SPENT $500 A YEAR
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
Captain Burt Had to Go to
Hot Springs Every Year.
Tanlac Saved Him Trip

Capt Walter r. Burt, who for the past
2s years has been connected with the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad. and who is
now passenger conductor running between
Jacksonville and Port Tampa, is one of
the oldest railroad men in point of service
in the state. Captain Burt not only stands
high in railroad circles, but is one of
Jacksonvilles best known and substantial
citizens.
When the Tanlac representative called
on the congenial captain at his attrac-
tive home, 1886 West Sixth street. for an
interview, few days ago, he said:
Every summer for the past Is years I
have had to take a trip to Hot Springs,
which has cost me in the neighborhood of
$500 each, but / didn't go this summer
because Tanlac set me right, and don't
believe I'll have to go any more. / suf-
fered all these years with indigestion
and loss of appetite The little | ate
failed to assirnilate and didn't seem to
give me the proper nourishment? | was
constipated nearly all the time and suf-
fered a great deal with rheumatism. My
strength and energy were considerably
down and I was easily tired out. The
trips to Hot Springs seemed only to bridge
me over in way as the cause of my
troubles stayed with me year after year
and I had to undergo the same e.
pensive experience without getting more
than temporary relief.
"Tanlac was being so highly Endorsed
and seemed to be doing such good work
decided to give it trial In very
short time I found it was doing me good
and seemed to be the very thing I needed.
After taking three bottles I felt much
improved and found that I was getting
more actual benefit from the few dollars
spent for Tanlac than from the sew
eral hundred I had paid out for other
things. The rheumatism is leaving me
rapidly and the constipated condition is
greatly relieved. My appetite is much
better and my food seems to digest now
and give me strength. In fact, my i'm
provement in every way is entirely sat
isfactory SO far, and I expect to continue
using 1t while, for I feel sure from
the results I have already gotten that
will be a perfectly well man.
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu-
sively by Patton-Pope Drug Co. and Ell
gene Jacobs Drug Store-Adv.

WOULD DESTROY SERVICE
'If favorable action could be taken in
the case of Private D, it would not
only involve a discrimination against
many other soldiers equally DESTROYS Of
resuming their civil occupations, but SIM
liar requests could not consistently ne
denied And were the department to
comply with such requests generally, the
result would be disintegration of the
forces that have been called into being
for the national defense, and involve the
breaking up of the entire guard on the
border, where it's mere presence has re-
stored order and given greater degree
of safety and security to the lives of our
people in that section of the country
than they have had for long time.
'It is of course, impossible to say with
any degree of certainty when state

in cases of this nature. I can only ex-
press the hope that conditions in the

ADVANTAGES OF
THE OLD SYSTEM

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Bill Vines letter in Sundays Age-Her-
aid should cause deep earnest thought
The question as to whether we are using
our modern conveniences for the real bet
torment of the race is a serious one.
True, the boy and girl of a quarter-cen-
tury ago had fewer advantages than
those of today, but is 1t not fact that
they utilize those few advantages to
far greater purpose in life than our
young people of today with their null
titudnous advantages? The thing striven
for and we'll earned is the only thing
worth while. The dollar give us never,
and indeed could not give us that de-
gree Of satisfaction and exultation de-
rived from like amount gained by per-
sistent, conscientious effort or labor, be-
cause it represents sacrifice, a price
paid, an undivided, Independent owner
ship.
The secret of the difference lies in the
fact that the education of other years
was earned, while that of today is given.
hence, not appreciated for it's real worth,
the youth of years ago fought, struggled
and won, and was proud of his success.
while the youths of today have their
education handed them, so to speak. 1t
is not the ripe fruit that lies on the
ground in easy reach that Is most allur
Ing but the perfect specimen on the top
most branch requiring special effort 70
obtain. Ready-made victories are like
dead sea apples, tasteless. We need the
tang Of conquest to give Zest to llfe-
Again the youth of the present time, as
a rule have an exaggerated idea of their
own Importance and worth, they leave
school with the mistaken idea that the
world lies at their feet. While fame and
fortune are impatiently waiting to be-
stow honors upon them. After awhile
as the years go by, the truth begins to
GAVIN on them, they begin to realize that
hcnors and emoluments of life are only
for those willing to battle strenuously
every day and hour. In the majority of
cases this realization brings with 1T
sickening sensation. loss of hope, not hav-
ing learned to strive, give UP in despair,
become drifting derelicts on the ocean Of
life or retire, self-consigned to the
realms of inocuous disuetude. While the
youth of the earlier years, who learned
almost with his first breath that life was
a battle that must be grimly fought;
also that the odds were fearfully against
him, developed self-reliance. an indomit-
able courage that refused to recognize
obstacles, no matter how large. and. al
though handicapped by a meagre educa-
ton, won by strength and character, a
place in life.
We do not accumulate strength and
character by having things handed us on
a silver platter. but by battling and really
earning for ourselves a place in the
world. r. r. LACKEY.
