discussed at the National Automobile
Show in New York during the first

purposes and the factory has encour-
aged all Of its dealers to investigate
the cooperation that may be extended
in each state along these lines

British Cabinet Resolves for
Modified Form of COnsGipdOn

London = 1t is said on excellent au-
thority that the cabinet has virtually
decided upon a modified form Of con-
scription bill to be introduced in the
house of commons next week, giving
the government the necessary power,
should it be found needful, to bring in
single men and preserve Premier AS
quith's pledge to married men.
The cabinet meeting, although 1t
failed to secure agreement of all the
ministers upon the question of the vol
untary system versus conscription, was
of a critical and decisive character and
virtually reached the decision that the
application of force may become neces-
sary before all eligible single men are
effectually brought to the colors.
The anti-conscriptionist ministers
offered strong opposition.

Portland Celebrates.

Portland, Ore. - New Years eve
jewellers began early to make the most
Of their final opportunity to buy liquor
in the restaurants and saloons of Port
land. Grills were crowded as early as
6 o'clock and from that hour on merri-
ment and hilarity reigned.
Some saloons ran entirely out of
stock early in the evening and closed
their doors. Others which had only
one or two brands of liquor left kept
open and served it out unfortunately
to all customers, regardless Of what
drink was ordered. Saloonkeepers and
bartenders preserved cheerful front
generally and Joined with customers
in the festivities. In the grills much
wine was consumed, notwithstanding
previous announcement that stocks
were low.
Booze stopped abruptly at midnight,
but the owl car went right on just the
same. ''Is the closing of the saloons
going to affect receipts appreciably?
was asked.
"We think not" replied a streetcar
official. "There is certain quota of
Portland's population that works
nights. This number is not going to be
reduced to any perceptible extent"

The unanimous opinion of the commits
stoned personnel of the army, as well
as the civil officials of the War depart
ment, is said to be that adequate pre-
paredness can be secured only on the
basis Of universal service. While
Secretary Garrison has made no public
declaration of his opinion, Assistant
Secretary Breckenridge, who frequent
ly has spoken for his chief, has clearly
indicated belief that universal service
is the only fair and democratic solu-
tion of the military problem confront
ing the country. :.
It has been indicated that the mill
.tary committees of congress will be
formally advised of this view at the
coming hearings.

quake shocks, felt in every part OF Ia

what had happened. At the Dupont

were also felt. So far as has been
learned yet, there was no damage.

the sale of intoxicating liquors in Spo-
