CONSCRIPTION SPLITS BRITAIN

LONDON Jan. Ct is admitted this afternoon that Great Britain is now facing the greatest crisis of its modern history as result of resolution passed by the National Labor Congress today protesting against con- scrpton in any form and pedgng the labor element ot the nation to fight it to the end. The Labor Congress rep cnts three million workers, the very sort of men who would be called out if the new conscrptOn bill be- comes law and the action of their congress has, therefore created feeling of widespread pessimsm. Not since the war began has the nation felt so gloomy The first re- suit of the action of the workers is expected to be the creation of grave governmental crisis which will force
 general election from which it is expected the present conservative minority would come triumphant with Lloyd George adopted by that party and made member of the cabinet The general belief is that parliament will pass conscrptOn in spite of opposition and then will matters come to a head.
