COMPULSORY SERVICE
If NECESSITY ARISES
Director General Chamberlain Warns
England That Soldiers Must

BIRMINGHAM, January 20, $40 pm.
Recourse will be had to compulsory
national service if the appeal for vol
untary service fails to evoke sufficient
response. declared Arthur Neville Cham
berlin, director general of national
service, at a meeting of employers and
employees at Central Hall here today.
Mr.. Chamberlain said:
Il want the nation to understand
that the government are very much in
earnest about this matter. While they
desire to give the nation every possible
opportunity to come forward of their
own volition in their country's need,
they will not hesitate to take any step
they may think necessary to bring the
war to a successful conclusion, includ-
ing compulsory national service If vol
untary service is not forthcoming"
Action Depends on Wars Duration.
Upon what is done in the course of
the next few weeks, the director gen.
eral declared, might. perhaps. depend
the question whether victory will be
won next spring. or whether a fourth
winter of hostilities will have to be en-
dured. He added
The military service acts already
have requisitioned all the ordinarily fit
men we can obtain and now mines and
munition factories have to yield more
men. We have to provide men in a
steady flow and we also have to pro-
vide munitions and money, and We
have to keep up foreign exchange.
1T is a colossal task to so organize
the nation, but it is one that has to be
faced. and / believe it can be faced
successfully"

May Day Entertainment and Big Dance, Eagle Hall Saturday night.

NaA DdN THtSGlaIHHlcut anu hiS Dance, Eagle Hall Saturday night. With the prospect of having a government harbor in Snake river almost certain of realization, Hend- ricks and Bal7ar intend to lose no time floating and bringing ashore the digmantled dredge scow that is now partially sunken in the bend ot Snake river along River street, where the piling used to stand. As quantity of the barge is filled with sand this is going to be a more ser ious job than it looks. The plans for the harbor provide for a row of piling protected by metal sheathing as against the action of the ice and the space will be opened as the river interior is reached.
 There is one merchant who is chucklng these days and not be- cause of the business he is doing either, but because he is now and during the winter has been doing no business at all. This is Pete Carlson, the genial proprietor of the 500 Grocery on the Sandspit. AL though making his usual heavy shipments of groceries and supplies last Fall, MT. Carlson concluded that as business would not be very active and> most of It might be on a credit basis, he would close down and hold his goods in storage. So he has them all just as good as when shipped in last October, and with the prices having aviated all the time, practically in some in- stances doubling the per centage will be his. He intends to open up about June and his stock will last all summer.

 Cap Anson who arrived up from Safety yesterday morning says that the ice is as solid as stone pave ment and there is no sign' of it's budging h. the opinion of many mariners what is needed now to shake things up is a good southerly wind would jar it loose from its anchorages on the bars and send it when the wind changed, away off shore.

TO RUSSIA
BY BERTON BRALEY.

o, mighty new republic over seas,
Let not your battle banners now
be furled;
Talk not Of peace, but let your
strength be hurled
Peace is most sweet, but not a peace
which means
That tyranny but waits its chance
to rise
And strike with mightier armies and
machines;
We must fight on until this menace
dies.
Fight with US, Russia, it were base
indeed
Should you betray the world to hate
and greed
Against the cohorts Of your enemies,
Mankind can have no lasting peace
or ease
Until the tides OF blood have swept
and swirled
Above the heads OF foes as mad
as these,
Who seek by war to overwhelm the
world.
