CONSCRIPTION WINS
DECIDED TRIUMPH
Bill Passed First Reading in House OF
Commons by Vote of 4o3 to Io5--
Great Enthusiasm Shown.

London, Jan. AMID scenes Of wild
enthusiasm the House of Commons last
night passed the first reading of the gov
ernment bill for compulsory military
service by the decisive vote OF 403 to l05.
The vote came shortly before mid
night, with the galleries again packed,
every seat ON the floor of the House
occupied, the ministerial benches filed,
and an air of eager expectancy prevail
ing. The events of the day had in
creased the tension to a high pitch, no.
tably the action of the labor congress
and the quick sequel of the retirement
of three labor members of the minis
try.
A. j. Balfour, first lord of the adj
miralty, closed the debate in behalf of
the government in persuasive appeal
of half an hour, which turned the tide
of adversity that had been running
steadily against the measures through
the debate and the 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 false i'm
preston to the world that in the mo-
ment of the country's gravest emergen-
Abandon your abstract theories and re-
we are dealing with stern real
tiles which call for great sacrifices"
Then came the vote, which was taken
amid eager interest as the members filed
before the tellers. The announcement
Of the figures was received with tre
mendous outburst OF cheering.
Scores of members in khaki waved
5heir handkerchiefs, and the air was rent
With white papers flying in triumph at
he governments success.
Amid the demonstration, Premier As
luith, his face glowing with satisfae-
ion, walked down the floor of the House !
0 present the bill formally to the cham
'er. His appearance was the signal for /
rapturous ovation.
An analysis of the vote showed that |
he government had held the great bulk
I the liberal and conservative vote. The
IRISH nationalists had voted against the
ill, but the Irish unionists supported
he measure, and the 0'Brienites took no :,
art in the division.
The minority showed sprinkling of
beral members, the most notable being
ohm Burns, the former cabinet member,
Mr.. Balfour's closing speech was the
ne notable feature of the debate. He it
poke with great earnestness, but with
ood natured confidence, which kept the
LENDERS between applause and laughter.
This measure, he declared, was not !
esigned to settle the military policy of |
reat Britain. 1t was for the present !
,casion and the present war. !
