BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Aprii cS.--
Germany is jubilant over the news Of

from the German editors.

in the revolt are freely published here,
though without comment Military CEN

LONDON. April :s.--An ofTcia, An
nouncement was made tonight that
King George had como to London from
Windsor and conferred with Premier
Asquith and Lord Kitchener this after
noon. He then returned to Windsor.
In some circles the conference was
thought TO concern the possibility of
another Cabinet crisis over the question
Of conscrption. I; was believed also
that the Kings trip might concern the
securing OF his approval of the new
military service bill.
The belief is generally prevalent now
that the Government must intro
duce a general compulsory service bill
possibly containing clause for trial
OF voluntary recruiting for month
or so before the enforcement; OF the bill
begins.
The War Council OF the Cabinet had
long session this morning and met
again In the afternoon. II is under
