COMPULSORY SERVICE
 IN ENGLAND AGAIN IS PARLIAMENT

|. LONDON May 1-The next few days sessions of the Parliament will be as interesting as any since the war began. The government must attempt to pass legislation for recruiting which probably will take the form of com pulsion for all with an interval for further voluntary enlistments.
 The rebellion in Ireland and the impossible task imposed upon Major General Townsend in Mesopotamia are likely to be the subjects for harsh criticism. General Townsend's sur. render at Kut-el-Amara is the bitter est blow to British pride since the death of Gorden at Kartoum. But the general absorption of Irish affairs has prevened the tragic episode from fill ing the public mind as it otherwise would
 A majority of newspapers hold the government responsible for the Irish outbreak while the opposition attri- butes to civilian mismanagements the disaster to the army al Kut-el-Amara. Others contend that the expedition was justified by it's work in holding a large Turkish army around Bagdad during the winter. which otherwise might have participated in an attaack on Egypt.
 They also consider the position of the Turks dangerous because Of the possibility of their being caught be- tween the Russians from the north and Persia. and Lieut.. General George Corringe's relieving force which is far from negligible factor

Nation Faces Crisis, Says Ted dy, Adding He is Doing Ut- most To Make People Real ize 1t
(By Review Leased Wire)

NEW YORK, May 1.-CJ. Roose- welt. on his return tonight from Chi cago, issued a statement explaining his views on preparedness. national defense and Americanism in middle west. Mr Roosevelt declared he is not interested in the political fortunes of himself and others and, after out lining the p;iciples advocated in re- cent speeches, said:
 Tt cannot be said too often that this is time of crisis in the nations career. We. are now laying down the foundation and the lines of the new era of our history. Everything I can do will be done to see that the peo- pie, west and east, realize that fact and act accordingly.
 By no act of mine, by no word of mine, has this grave question been made the occasion of factional plays. In every state in which it is the law governing such matters, 1 have promptly withdrawn my name from all factSnel struggles. In a cable mes sage from Trinidad on March g. last. requested and insisted that my friends in Massachusetts refrain from such and I would have invoked the law there as did in other states if there had been such a law. I also said that l was not interested in the political fortune either of myself or others, and have resolutely stuck t5 that determination. l have not eX- pressed and do not intend to express myself as being for or against any man.
 As regards myself I do not be- lieve that the delegates ought to nominate me at Chicago unless they are prepared wholeheartedly and with out reserve to make the fight along the lines outlined.
 Il am fighting for certain great and vital principles. Those who take their stand in such a matter because of factional or personal prejudice are either lacking in patriotism Or else are blind to the tremendous forces at work the world over
 For that reason I most earnestly hope that the delegates who go to Chicago will name some man on whom Republicans and Progressives can combine, and who, moreover. can be heartily supported by all inde pendent citizens and particularly all independent Democrats who are loyal to the principles of Jackson and the vital honor and interest of this nation above all mere partisan cOnsidera tions. fope they will choose a man upon whose all can unite and who, if elected, we can be absolutely certain will mt the nrinciDlos into effect in the government of the country"

ARMY BILL CUT AGAIN.; ID
 180,OOO
Senate Conferees Accede To House In Number Of Reg
 ulars. Bill For 700, ,OC0 Re- serves Remains Unchanged
(By Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON. May Hope for an agreement in conference on the army reorganization bill seemed brighter tonight after an all day ses- sion of the conference committee on basis for negotiation of the defense between the House and Senate was reached.
 Senate conferees agreed 10 yield the proposed standing army of 250.0O0 and accepted peace strength of 1s0.- 900 men, provided the House would accept the expansion system of or ganization in the Senate bill. Under this system the regular army could be increased in time of conflict tc 220,000 or more. House conferees tentatively agreed to this proposition upon which to base arguments as to detail.
 The Chamberlain bill before i, was amended and placed the maximum strength of the regular army al about 1SO.00O men. whereas the House bill left it at 10000.
 Although the conferees are exert ing every possible effort to reach a complete agreement, some of them fear that all disputed points cannot be worked out without ratify referring some points back to the Senate end the House for further instructions.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 1.-Angered because workmen refused to join their ranks, 5000 striking employees of the Westinghouse plants forcibly entered the mills of four big steel companies in Rankin and Braddock late today, attacked employees and caused property damage amounting to several hundred dollars.
 One rioter was arrested, but hun dreds of strikers attacked the police with stones and rescued the prison CT. The rioting lasted three hours and was the most serious that has oc- cured since the strike began.
 NEW YORK, May May Day, featured here by a monster parade of union workers. also was marked by the beginning of new labor disorders as well as the settlement of several strikes in the metropolitan district.
 The paraders, carrying banners and placecards. passed up fifth avenue for several miles and returned to Wash ington Square. the starting point, by way of Madison Avenue. The garment workers later held a mass meeting preparatory to the calling off of the strike tomorrow. following the lock out put into effect by the manufac- turers last week.
 The day began with a strike of en- gineers and firemen on tugboats and lighters in New York harbor and ad- iacent water ways but by night-fall many of the owners had acceded to the demands for advances in wages and complete tie up was avoided.
 About a thousand dock laborers went on strike in Brooklyn for an in crease in wages hampering the move ment of freight by one large docking concern.
 It was announced that the strike of 1000 jewelry workers. which had been in progress for three months. had been settled. The workers re- ceived an eight hour day. time and a half for overtime and the abolition of home work system.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-President Wilson has mol altered his purpose to keep American troops on the border regions of Mexico until brisandase has ceased.
 After a brief conference at the White House today. Secretary 2aker prepared further instructions for Gen erals Scott and Funston. sought by the officers as result of their con ference with General Obreson. Car ranza war minister The message went forward tonight Its contents were not revealed but both Secretary Lansing and Secretary Baker said there had been no change in the administrators policy.
 It is believed the American con ferees sought additional instructions upon the view of the de factO gov ernment that the American expedition should be withdrawn at once. As General Scott had no power to dis cuss this matter with General Obre- gon. he referred il 10 Washington for decision.
 It was argued that the de facto Sov- ernment could not afford any break with the United States, upon whose recognition it's stability rests. Any open disagreement must result in sn- terruption of these relations.
 U. S. Asks Little.
 The American plan for cooperation need net entail any particular hard ship on the de facto government. it was further pointed out. since the zone of American occupation could be limited to the occupation of parts of Chihuahua.
 There was a marked disposition 10 attach some significance to the fact that Secretary Bakers instructions 10 Generals Scott and Funston referred only to the Washington governments intention not to agree to an 'immedi- ate" withdrawal This did not indi- cate. it was asserted. any objection to withdrawal after reasonable period. Mexican officials said today that they would like to have the eN- petition withdrawn but that they would abide by the wishes of the re- spective governments.
 Little credence was attached. how ever. to reports that General Obregon lll8nt lV AAV unless some agreement was soon reached.
 While matters were at Standstiil today new reports Of reliable nature came indicating that the American army is preparing for at least a tenn porary soiourn in Mexican soil They said that the Sixth. Sixteenth and Seventeenth infantry regiments are now at Namiduipa. General Pershins's base. and that the Twenty-fourth in- fantry is guarding the line Of com municatrSn from Columbus
 The Thirteenth and Eleventh reci- meuts of cavalry and part of the Tenth and Seventh also were reported at Namiduipa. with the Sixth on it's way to that point
 With this large force at his com mand and with the costumary de fense preparations made. it was indi- cated that General Pershing was ready for any eventuality.
 Only few scattered columns Sf the expeditionarv force are reported south of Namiquipa. The great bulk of General Pershing's men are now well within 200 miler of the border.
