F feeling Of Relief Follows VIC
tory Achieved in Commons
by Premier ASQuith on CON-
puISoy Service Bill,
10y MORNING JOURNAL srse'.l lr.oeo wac,

London, Jan. G0:32 p. m.)-
The political situation today WAS
calmer after the overwhelming vote
obtained by the government iii the
house, Thursday night on the FIRST
reading of its compulsion bill. The
reassuring size of the government
majority in the lower house Of par
lament offset to a considerable de-
gree the anti-conscriptionis vote OF
the labor congress, which also was
partly discounted by the attitude OF
such important labor leaders as Ar
thur Henderson, who resigned as
president of the board Of education
and John Ward, George Nicofl
Barnes and John Hodge. members oil
the house OF commons.
The position of these men is that
the vote of the labor congress was
too hasty and ill-considered to be
regarded as reflecting the actual
feeling of the labor men of the couh-
try.
Parliament did not meet today
and will not sit again until Monday
The indications are that the con-
scription bill will be passed through
the house of commons in order that
If may reach the house of lords III
ample time for passage before the
end OF the month.
Gossip is generally agreed mat
Premier Asquith will have little dit-
ficultv in filling the vacancies IN ms
cabinet caused by the resignation
OF Mr.. Henderson and Sir John a.
Simon. the home secretary.
To the American reader, one OF
the most interesting Suggestions
heard in London today was the pro-
posal to introduce the referendum
as the alternative frequently has been
in England during the
war for general election If dan
serous hostility appears to be de-
welcoming in the country AT large dur
inp the latter stages Of the conscrlp-
lion bin before parliament The rel
erendum frequently has been sug-
rested in England during the last
few wears as desirable addition to
the legislative machinery of the King
dom. II was adopted as part ol
the unionist program Of consiitu-
,ional reform five or six years ago.

Indemnity Is TO Be Paid for

ciaI Communication,
MORE HUMANE METHODS
or SUBMARINE WARFARE
All Teutonic Allies to Accede
to Position Taken by United
StateSi Severe Tension Is.
Believed Ended,

Washington, Jan. 1.-Two COM
munications from Germany reached
the United States today, one contain
ing a proposal to pay an indemnity
for the Americans lost in the Lusi-
tianla disaster which may bring me-
gotiations on that subject to a con-
chsion, and the other conveying as
surances that German submarines
operating in the Mediterranean would
not torpedo noncombatant ships of
any character without warning them
and according safety to their passen-
gers and crews.
The communications were deliver
ed TO Secretary Lansing by Count Won
Bernstorff, German ambassador The
secretary Immediately sent them to
President Wilson.
Washington Gratificd.
Official Washington tonight con-
sidered that America and Germany at
last were near final agreement on
The conduct Of submarine warfare
Officials made no attempt to conceal
their qualification at the attitude
Germany apparently had assumed,

marine question seemed to have les
aened considerably. Austria, in its
reply to the las, Ancona note hav

intentions to operate submarines
With due regard for international law
and the principles of humanity, Tur-
key ana Bulgaria. it is understood,
next will take steps to give such
guarantees, 1t is stated authorita-
lively that Germany and Austria
Hungary will use their influence to
accomplish this end.
No Wrong-Doins Admitted.
The Lusitania controversy, except
for the wording Of the agreement t2
be entered into, is considered in Teu-
tonic circles here virtually ended.
Under the terms of the proposal
submitted for the approval OF the
United States Germany, while offer
ing to pay an indemnity, makes the
reservation that the Lusitania was
sunk as an act of reprisal for the
British blockade OF Germany.
While Secretary Lansing is under
stood not to have indicated to Count
Won Bernstorff whether the proposal
was satisfactory, a number of Off
cials in position to be familiar with
the American attitude, indicated that
1t would be accepted.
The assurances regarding the con-
duet of submarine warfare in the
Mediterranean, obviously prompted
by the sinking OF the British steam
ship Persia with a loss Of two Ameri-
can lives, are much broader in their
scope than the promises made after
The Lusitania disaster covering the OPP
crations of submarines in the North
sea and adjacent waters. The latter
guaranteed only that liners" should
be immune from attack without warn
ing. The assurances regarding the
mediterranean operations Include pri-
