WHY "CONSCRIPTION' WAS OPPOSED mi
CONGRESS; A VIEW OF The OTHER SIDE,

When did it provo failure. and
who is competent to give testimony
on that point?
General Nelson A. Miles, greatest
living Civil war general appeared he
lore the Senate Committee to de-
nounce conscription.
He said it had proven failure
during the Civil war-the only oc-
casi II on which we have used it in
this country.
In that great conflict only two per
cent of the men in the Federal army
were secured in that way. Ask anv
Grand Army man what kind of sold
iers they make?
Eighty per cent of the men who
are now fighting for England vol
unteered.
Canada, an English dependency,
mas refused to consider conscription
and is now advertising in American
papers urging American farmers to
come to Canada where thev will NOT
be subjected to compulsory military
service
Australia, another English de-
pendency rejected conscription by
popular vote.
England has agreed not to extend
conscriptiOn to Ireland because if
would mean civil war.
Do not permit the conscriptionists
TO stampede you. At least, insist on
nearing the other side of the story.

them.

affairs, but If there were failures they
would seek TO make you responsible
since it is you who have supervision

There is no hope that the

THE Daily Chronicle" commends in
the Entente reply the expression OF the
Allies moral claims TO be the vindca-
tors Of right and the defenders Of civil

The Daily Chronicle" remarking
that the reply contains by far the full
est statement on territorial questions

trated by the fact that it says nothing
about the German colonies"
THE Post" says that President Will

both in mind and in body, perhaps failed
TO realize how insulting was the sug-
gestion that the Allies should negoti-
ate with an enemy who was Decorating
their territory and trampling their ma
tional rights
"The Daily Graphic" referring TO
the restitution of territory, as men
toned in the Entente reply, says that
this means the restoration of Alsace-
Lorraine TO France and of the Trentino
and Trieste to Italy, the constitution
of the Slavonic provinces of Austria
into a separate state, the transference
Of Pennsylvania from Hungary to Ru-
mania, the restoration of the ancient
Kingdom of Bohemia, the creation OF

tectorate, and. in addition to the ex-
pulsion of the Turks from Europe, the
liberation of the Armenians, Arabs and
Syrians from Turkish rule.

"The Daily News' says:

Germany to indicate. The present note
suggests that the time has not yet

The Allies had made that clear, he SAID,
in their reply TO Germany, and clearer
still in their reply 70 America. Furth-
or. he declared that the grim resolu-
tion Of the Entente Allies at the re-
cont conference in Rome was that at
ali costs they must achieve the high
aim which was before them when they
accented the challenge Of the "Prus,
sian military caste" which is TO RID
the world forever Of its menace and
save Europe from unspeakable despo-
tism."
No Decisions Among Allies
The Rome conference WAS under no
delusions. Mr.. Lloyd George continued,
as to the magnitude of the task OF the
Allies. but felt no doubts as 70 the re
suits. The whole situation was proDed,
the difficulties were faced and arrange
ments were made TO deal with them:
All the Allies felt, he declared, that II

so despite "all piratical devices OF the

tinued, the armies would cleave the
road to victory during 1911
The best security for peace in future,
Mr.. Lloyd George said, would be OBJ
tanned when nations banded themselves
together to punish the peace breaker.
Mr.. Lloyd George spoke for forty
five minutes, dealing only briefly with
the war loan, which, he said, was being
offered on the most generous terms the
government could make without injury
to the taxpayer. The Premier theh
turned TO the question of the German
peace offer. saying:
"The Kaiser sent out a message 70
his people that the Entente had re-
jected his peace offer. That was done
to drug those whom he had been un-
able to dragon. But where are actu'
ally the German peace offers? The
Allies asked for them. but the Germans
did not offer any terms. They offered
only a trap, painted with fair words.
Such words tempted us once, but the
lion now has his eyes open.

Work of Mercantile Marine

The admiral paid high tribute TO the
work of the mercantile marine, saying:
Upon it we have been dependent for
the movement Of our troops overseas.
More than seven millions Of men have
been transported by il, together with
all the guns, munitions and stores re-
quired by the army
In addition to manning the trans
ports, Admiral Jellicoe continued, the
mercantile marine had been largely re
enonsible for the manning Of the en-
tire British patrol and the mlne-sweep-
ing Aotilla. nearly $500 shippers being
thus employed.
"Without our mercantile marine the
navy. indeed the nation. could not
exist" the first sea lord said.
"No one can ask for finer personnel
than we have in the navy" Admiral
Jellicoe declared in closing. "Educs-
ton enables every man to arrive at a
lust appreciation of the justice Of our
cause and to conduct himself as be-
comes a man fighting for the freedom
of smaller nations and for the liberia
ton of humanity from the threatened
thraldom OF military slavery. Can
there be any doubt Of the issue when
this fundamental belief h associated
with US? With an all-pervad ing
patriotism and unAagging zeal we will
