|RELAND'S ATTITUDE
 STUMBLING BL OCK IN PATH OF ASQUITH
Leaders Say They Will Re- sist Even Mild COnscrip- tiOn-HOme RuleCauses
 Further Complications

London January 2.-Ireland' attitude makes d sharp complication in the path of even the limited measure of conscrip- tion that Premier Asquith proposes to ask Parliament to adopt Earl Derby's en- rollment of recruits was not extended to Ireland; therefore, Ireand's young men can hardly be included in bill for the compulsory enlistment of unmarried men that failed to present themselves. Never theless, the nationalist party in the House of Commons will fight any compul- sorry scheme, as John Redmond, William Redmond and John Dillon have already announced.
 Conscrpton with Ireland left out and letf out principally because the authorities fear to attempt to enforce it there, will have an important bearing on the home rule issue, whic his merely dormant dur ing the war by general consent.
 Listers determination to fight home rule issue. which is merely dormant dur remains as strong as ever. Both Irish factions desire to be in a position after the war to point to their services in the struggle, and if the natonalists fight universal service, the Ulster leaders will use that fact as an argument that Ulster is more loyal to the empire and therefore deserving of more consideration.
 It is still doubtful whether there will be a great battle in the House of Commons over compulsory military service
 Conscriptionists claim to have 200 mem- bers determined to fight to the last ditch against what they denounce as the sur render of liberal principles, but other threats of last ditch fights have been ut tered during the war, notably by the op ponents of the drink restrictions and have come to nothing, the rebelling ele- ments consenting, when the critical hour arrived, to sacrifice their objections to the nations welfare.
 The Irish nationalists may be counted upon to oppose Premier Asquith's bill, but whether they will use flibustering tactics in which they have had so much practice, as MT. Dillon has threatened, is doubtful. They will be supported by some laborites and an uncertain number of lib- erals. Whether the labor party, as party, will take the same path depends on the result of the labor unions confer ences that have been called for this week.
