fore the Spanish war, when she was
purchased for the navy
Construction Begun in 1885.
The Terror and Miantonomoh were
laid down in 1886, when several
other old-type monitors, including the
Nonadnock and the Amphitrite. were
begun. There were years of delay in
completing them, and the Monadnock,
huilt at Vallejo, Cal, was later mod
ernized. and is now in service in the
pbi,innines. The Miantonomoh was
named after her wood and iron prede-
cessor. which crossed the Atlantic
after the civil war, to be hailed as the
most modern and powerful of fighting
ships of her day.
The Terror still is equipped with
pneumatic guns and steering gear tried
out on her as an experiment before
the Spanish war.
Classed as Herald of New Era.
The guns were supposed to hurl
nitroglycerin projectiles, and believed
at the time to herald the coming of a
new era in naval artillery. About the
same time some coast Notifications
we're equipped with pneumatic dyna-
mite guns, long since abandoned.
The gunboas Concord was with Ad,

dent He was succeeded by Mrs. Ernest
w. Roberts, wife of Representative
Roberts of Massachusetts. Mr.. Page was
made the honorary president. The object
of the library is to furnish the sightless
in their own lives what they soreiy need
and crave, up-to-date literature.
The books are carefully selected and
consist of history. biography. travel and
novels suitable for the adult mind. and
are in constant circulation to readers In
forty-four of the forty-eight states of the
Union.

latter enabling the blind themselves to
select books they wish to read. A book
of instructions and slate and styles are
sent to those desiring to learn to tran
scribe in English Braille.

headquarters. and 1t is hoped that many
will be interested to investigate and find
out how such libraries may be formed in
the South American countries. AS such
libraries are formed. an interchange of

Military Bill introduced in the
House of Commons by
Premier Asquith.
SEVERE STRUGGLE
is FULLY EXPECTED
Shown That 650,000 Unmarried
Men Have Failed to Come
Forward and Enlist.

LONDON. January 5-The
bill providing for compulsory
military service was introduced
in the house OF commons today
by Premier Asquith.
Under the terms of the COM
pulsory military service bill, in
troduced in the house of COM
mons today, all males between the
ages of eighteen and forty-one
who are bachelors or widowers
without children dependent on
them are liable for military
service.
Ireland is excluded from the
terms of the measure.
The largest assemblage of members
since the war began faced the premier
Many members had obtained leave to
return from the front SO that they
might be able to vote on the compul-
sion bill. The Earl of Derby. who con-
Quoted the recruiting campaign, was In
the peers gallery.
Struggle Expected.
The compulsory military service bill
promises to bring on the sharpest par
liamentary struggle since the war be-
gan.
The house of commons reassembled
yesterday in anxious mood. uncertain
how far the injection of compulsory
service into the British military system
had broken or weakened the cabinet
This point presumably was settled def
nitely at the cabinet meeting which sat
prior TO the opening of parliament and
adopted in its final form the compul-
sion bill.
The only absentee from the cabinet
meeting was Sir John Simon, homo
secretary, who has resigned. The ques-
tion paper contained many references
to conscription.
Over Million Available.
The Earl of Derby's report on his
recruiting campaign, which began
October 90 and ended December II,
explains why the cabinet found ii nee
essary to bring forward a measure for
compulsory enlistment of unmarried
men. More than 100000 men in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales enrolled
themselves but after those engaged In
indispensable industries and medically
unfit have been winnowed out about
1,10O, 600 available to bear arms remain
But there are 10000 unmarried rnen
who failed to come forward and the
government will now attempt to re-
deem Premier Asquiths pledge that the
married men should not be called out
as long as any considerable fraction OF
unmarried men held back.
