London, July 21.-Wide difference of opinion has arisen and the ground prepared for a controversy among the political leaders by the governments decision that the subjects of it's Allies tn the war residing in England shall either enlist in the British army or be deported.
 Particular objection to the decision has been engendered in so far as it may effect Russian subjects here who may be political refugees, a large ele- ment of the liberal thinkers in pub lie life priding themselves i'll the tra- ditional asylum offered by England in this respect. Herbert Samuel, Sec retary of the Home Office, stated in the House of, Commons that the plan to deport those failing to enlist would not be enforced in the case of Rus sian subjects, if tribunal decided that they are political refugees.
 The suggestion has been made that instead of sending back to their own country Russian Jews who have left Russia for reasons known to every body, though they are not exactly po- litical refugees, they should be sent to America or deported to some other neutral country of, their choice.
 The desire to avolu vrrending Rus- sian susceptibilities on the subject is general for which reason NK4- ques- ton is regarded as one of Lhusual idelicacy,. One group holds that the sending back of Russian Jews to their own country would gratify no irppor- tant Russian sentiment, and might eff feet the reverse result, The true in- wardness, of the situation, according to the London correspondent or the Manchester Guardian, is that Engllsn- men taken Into the army under con- scription resent the immunity of Rus sian Jews and regard them as ''Job stealers," r
 The Correspondent gives the folsow- ing letter on the subject received by shim from a Russian correspondent. "This step will have a most unfor- future upon the propagation of the which Is the chief support in Russia of Anlgo-Russian friendship, and which builds all its hopes for Russia's future upon the propagation of the British spirit of freedom and individ-' al liberty. Russian liberals will re- gard the deportation threat with par. tfcular dismayA as being an unexpected and staggering concession to the long cherished but Always hitherto baffled desire of the Russian buraucracy to secure the, extradition of Russian po-1 litical refugees,
 England is the great country of Europe that has always hitherto pro- eected political refugees. and as such it has quite a unique standing in the eyes1 Of Russian reformers of all shades, At would be quite impossible for an Englishman to realize the feel ing or veneration with which England Is regarded because of this right of asylum. It was here in London that Alexander Herzen, father of Russian Liberalism. was a refugee, and issued his paper sKo1okol ("The BelP), that eventually brought about the enamel patton of the serfs Here in later times have found refuge Tchaikovsky.

PROGRESSIVE STEAM
 ROLLERS FOR HUGHES.

MT. Matthew Hale of Boston is act ing chairman of the Progressive Ma tional Committee. He has just is- sued report to the Progressive dele gates telling what happened at Chi cago, when MT. Hughes was "endors- ed"
 Read in the light of what the pro- gressive leaders said about the Re- publican National Committee of 1912, MT. Hale's report is very damaging to the reputation of good many Progressives.
 | The reinforcement" was put through in high disregard of the party. MT. Perkins actually discouraged the ef- fort to consult the rank and file. Tn Alabama, Michigan, New Jersey, vir- giriia, either the delegates or the state organizations had officially declared against endorsement. But the na- tional committeeman from these states voted to endorse. Tennessee declared against endorsement, its committeeman was not allowed to vote because of a technicality. Tn Minnesota and Louisiana the state against endorsement, but the na-
 
 Maryland and New York the wishes of the party were uncertain. but the committeeman voted to, endorse. The whole movement to endorse was clear ly carried out without the auth ority of the Progressive National Convention, and contrary to its spirit.
 MT. Hale has done a brave and use- full job in setting forth these facts. For there is something extraordinar- fly disheartening and sinister about the weak sense of trusteeship which animated the leaders of party based on covenant with the people, No wonder that a Progressive, delegate announced his retirement from politics by saying there were only three peo- pie in history wortaC of admiration: s'Barnum who said a fool was born every minute; Talleyrand who said words were meant to conceal ideas; and the Vanderbilt who said the pub- lie be damned '"-The New Re- public.
