London, Sept. THE speech of the

indicate that the Entente Allies pos

and that there is a strong probability
the provisional government will take
a firmer grip and adopt rigorous
measures which alone can save the
situation. Various reports from Pc
trograd somewhat vaguely sugges;
the same thing.
While it is not admitted officially
that such advices have ben received,
the tone of statements made in Of

that Premier Lloyd George knew
more than he revealed of his reasons
for hopefulness regarding Russia.

FRAMED BILL TO WIN

Democrats and Republicans in Tilt
Over Risk Insurance Measure.
See Defect in Pension Law.

Democratic leaders in the House

tatiye Arthur Dewalt. of Allentown,

can onslaught.
Representative Steenerson, of Mimi

sentative Key, of Ohio, chairman of
the pensions committee. delivered a
bitter attack, alleging an effort on
the part of the administration to
wipe out the pension plan. Repre-
sentative Parker, OF New Jersey, and
others, Joined in the attack.
THE bill was framed to help win

waits reply to all the Republican
charges. And after helping to win

He then pointed out as the chief
defect o. the pension law. the fact
that soldiers benefit by it long after

working at top speed.
Hopeful that the President will not

MAY RECALL THOSE
At FIRST EXEMPTED
u. S. Likely to Find Difficulty Sc
curing an Army Of 100000
from Single Men.

In line with the policy of the War
Department, confded by Secretary
Baker to the House Military Commit
tee. to raise and organize an army of
100000 by the end Of next year. it was
admitted at the War Department yes
terday that a number of exemptions
lom this draft may be later with
drawn. This applies especially to
married men and other dependency
exemptions.
In order to raise 10000 men by the
draft. as the War Department Is said
TO contemplate, it probably will be
necessary to recall men who were ex-
empted from the first call
1t is estimated that for the 6S7. 900 Sc
cured by the present draft. it was
necessary. all over the country. to ex-
anime at least 3,155, 900 men. With the
Increasing war work and the growth
Of vital industries, it was believed
that even a larger percentage would
rule i'm the next draft. as more men
will be exempted for industrial causes.
This throws the brunt upon the de-
tendency exemptions, and the opinion
was expressed that in the next draft
the regulations would be made strict

Lansing to Discuss International
Situation with Enoys.

Such agreements for closer cO-opera-

tered into by Niscount Ishii, head Of

the conferences between Vice Admiral

Secretary Lansing will meet Wis
count Ishii again tomorrow, when It

Involved in the problem are the
questions OF aid the japanese govern

tonnage in the Atlantic as well as
in the Pacific, the aid that this gov

on her shipbuilding program and the
possibilities OF japanese yards in
creasing ship construction for the en-
