Premier Lloyd George again has
staked the political existence Of him
self and his cabinet on one measure.
the new man power bill which includes
the CONSUMPTION Of all men between
the ages Of IS and 50 years, and which
furthermore extends CONSUMPTION to
Ireland. The latter feature Of course
put the Irish Nationalist members in
q rage at once and the premier was
warned that any attempt to enforce tho
draft in Ireland would result In civil
war; that 1t would take an army to
raise a regiment. He stood firm, how
ever, declaring the time had come when
ireland must be treated like the rest
Of Great Britain in the matter Of mil.
itary service, and that II the bill was
defeated his government would give
way to another. The measure passed
its preliminary readings by q large
majority, but the press and people OF
England are decidedly anxious about
its success should it become law.

Officers at WASHINGTON.

ls Opinion of Allied and American
Officers at Washington.
Washington.-The German drive at
the British lines appeared to be slow
ing under the policy of elastic defense
pursued by Field Marshall Haig, &C.
cording to the opinion Of allied and
American army officers here, based
on the official statements from Lon
don, Paris and Berlin. The greatest
battle of the war, thus far, they be-
lieve, is entering its second stage
with the German forces facing an
increasingly stubborn resistance. The
outcome may not be discernible for
several days.
The attitude of American military
authorities was officially stated by
Major General March, acting chief of
staff. He said:
"The war department sees no cause
for alarm on the part of the people
Of the United States. Sir Douglas
Haig has announced that the British
withdrawal was in accordance with a
definite plan. That announcement Is
to be accepted"

People Who Are Too Coed.

been greatly benefited by an occasion
