London. Jan. 4.--The press bureau
issues a statement in which Sir Ed
ward Grey suggests that the case OF
the Baralong and the alleged murder
OF members of the crew of a German
submarine be submitted to an i'm
partial tribunal for investigation. He
cites three naval incidents OF German
inhumanity and recommends that they
might be Investigated at the same
time.
Sir Edward Grey's comments arc In
reply to a communication from Am
bassador Page on December covering
the memorandum of the German gov
eminent concerning the alleged de-
struction Of a German submarine and
crew BIZ the British auxiliary cruiser
BaralonE. According to affidavits of
sailors aboard the steamship Nicosian,
on its way through the war zone to
! Liverpool, the I3aralong appeared
shortly after the German submarine
had held UP the Nlcosian. The Bara-
long. a British patrol boat flying the
American nag, not only sank the sub
marine. according to the afiidavits
which the German ambassador sent to
Washington, but killed the captain of
the submarine and ten members OF
the crew who had taken refuge aboard
the Nicosian.
The secretary for foreign affairs. liz
his reply TO Ambassador Page, points
out three naval incidents OF German
iinhumanity which occurred within
lforty-eight hours of the sinking of the
submarine by the Baralong and the
Teecuing of the British steamship Bara-
long. Sir Edward concludes:
There three Incidents almost stimuli

findings of the court might seem to

London Jan 5.--Epoch marking
speeches win be made today by Pre-
mier Asquith and Lord Kitchener In
the House of Commons, and Lords, re-
spectively.
The details of the compulsory SER
vice bill which the premier will intro
ti,tee today have been settled, and the
principles of the bill remain as they
have been described In previous cable
dispatches 1t Is understood that no
penalties will be prescribed as when
manifested single men are called into
the army they thereby will be subject
to military laws.

The points of policy which they
raised as to the size of the army and

by the introduction of the compul-
sorry BILL the Liberal group, opposed to

ton of dividing against the initial

that the speaker will grant closure,

Some Conservatives are suggesting
the bill go over to next week, hop
, ing to draw out the debate towards
the end of the month in order to hold
up until the last the bill to extend
the life of parliament which, IL a
general election Is to be avoided. must
be passed before January 80 in the
hope that the country will be plunged
into a general election and sweep in
the Tory interest on the crv of com
pulsion for the Stacker"
The Irish Nationalist Marty will
meet today to discuss the situation.
Their most likely course will he to
vote against the bill. On the other
hand. Irish Unionists met yesterday
under Sir Edward Carson and passed
resolution protesting against Ireland
being excluded under the compuision
scheme There will be labor con-
gress Thursday and the authorization OF
some prominent labor leaders is that
Arthur Henderson may get a majority
vote to support the government. Wig
orous opposition to compulsion will in
any case be offered by the Indepen-
dent Labor party.
Such is the immediate position. II
is shown. that apart from the for
tunes Of the bill there might be n
breakup Of the government. If there
are more designations there is this
further possibility; II may he consid-
cred by some ambitious ministers in
favor of compulsion. among whom are
Lord Curzon and Lloyd-George, that
is TO their interest TO seize on the OPP
position offered to the compulsory bill
as an excuse for "A general election.
The belief is cherished IN some quar-
ters that IL the cry of ''compulsion
for slaekers'' is raised by the tories
with the support of Lloyd George. they
would get khaki majority from the
country.
