Barnes Named for
Henderson's Post

London, Aug. Is A day of political
excitement concluded tonight with the
announcement that George Nicoll
Barnes, minister of pensions, had been
appointed to replace Arthur Hender-
son as labor member of the war cab
met. Thus the crisis which seemed to
threaten the existence of the govern
ment was at least temporarily solved.
The government announced to par
Lament today that the ministers had
decided not to grant passports to dele
gates to the Stockholm International
Socialist congress.
Mr.. Henderson in the house of COM
mons today made an impassioned de-
fense OF his position in the conflict
that has arisen between himself and
Prime Minister Lloyd George and his
attitude before the labor conference
last Friday, when he favored the send
ing of delegates to the forthcoming
International Socialist congress at
Stockholm. Lloyd George reiterated
the governments position.
The debate did nothing to reconcile
the conflict OF evidence. The minister
spoke with great bitterness of what
he characterized the shameful treat
1nent he had suffered at the hands OF
the premier.
Herbert Henry Asquth wound W
the debate with a tactfui speech in
which he expressed the belief that the
entire labor party, with the exception
OF an insignificant minority was
against any precarious peace.
AN executive meeting of the labor
party is called to meet tomorrow
when the whole situation will be re.
considered. "[+

To Protect Farmers.
In farming communities drafted men
engaged in harvesting work and who
otherwise would go with the first third
of the district quota will be passed
over to the second or third, as may be
necessary.
Provost Marshal General CroWder
issued n supplemental ruling today
holding that persons should not be
discharged because of dependents resi-
dent abroad.
The object of the law permitting
persons to be discharged because of
dependents was to prevent such de-
pendents becoming charge upon the
american people" the ruling says.
objectors Must Serve.
That conscientious objectors to war
are not to be excused entirely from
serving the country was made clear in
another ruling by the provost marshal,
holding that such persons should be
sent to the mobilization camps along
with others drafted, to be assigned
later to non -combatant branches of
the service.
Only in rare cases are railway mail
clerks to be exempted. Only scheme
clerks, chief clerks and assistant
chief clerks of the railroad service will
be given exemptions.
The postoffice department an
nounced also that it would certify eX-
emptions for postoffice' inspectors but
not for postmasters. Postmasters of
the first, second and third classes.
however. are exempted specifically
