ing up of citizen army adequate for

by score of army generals, heads OF

Commons Passes
Compulsory Bill
FIRST READING GETS DECISIVE
VOTE OF 4os TO 1o5
AN ENTHUSIASTIC SCENE
The Announcement of the Figures Was
Received With a Tremendous Out
burst of cheerins-6alfour Closed
Debate With a Persuasive Appeal.

London, Jan. 6, 11.5o p. m.-Amid
scenes of wild enthusiasm the house
of commons tonight passed the first
reading of the bill for compulsory mil
itary service by the decisive vote of
403 to los.
The vote came shortly before mid
night, with the galleries again packed,
every seat on the floor of the house
occupied, the ministerial benches fill
ed and an air of eager expectancy pre-
vailing. The events of the day had
increased the tension to high pitch,
notably the action of the labor con-
gress and the quick announcement of
the retirement of the three labor men,
bers of the ministry.
Baifour Reused Lasging Spirits.
Throughout these developments
outside of parliament the debate in
the house had forged steadily ahead,
but had been left largely to the lesser
figures. 1t was reserved for A. ]. Bal
four, first lord of the admiralty, to
close the debate in behalf of the gov
ernment and he did it in a persuasive
appeal of half an hour, which reused
the tagging spirits of the advocates OF
the bill and turned the tide of adver-
against the measure through the de-
bate and outside. events of the day.
Let this vote tonight show that we
are a united people," was his closing
appeal. DO not let US give a laISS
impression to the world that in the
moment of the country's gravest emer-
gency we are divided one against an
other. Abandon your abstract theories
and remember we are dealing with
stern realities which call for great sac
rifices."
Tremendous outburst of Cheering.
Then came the vote. The announce
ment of the figures was received with
a tremendous outburst of cheering
Scores of members in khaki waved
their handkerchiefs and the air was
sent with white papers flung in tri-
umph at the governments success.
Premier Asquith Presented Bill.
Amid the demonstration, Premier
Asquith, his face, usually pale, now
glowing with satisfaction, walked dowr
the floor of the house to present the
bill formally to the cham hsr. His ap-
pearance was the signal for an ova-
ton, members of all sides cheering.
Opposition Vote.
An analysis of the vote showed thai
the government had held the greai
bulk of the Liberal and Conservative
vote. The Irish Nationalists had voted
against the bill, but the Irish Unionists
supported the measure and the
O'Brienites took no part in the divi-
sion.
The minority showed a sprinkling
of liberal members, the most notable
being John Burns, the former cabinet
member A number of labor mem
berS also voted with the opposition
