Driving Silver Out.
The United States can not coin
silver dollars today except at a

condition will soon apply as well to
the fractional currency. On such
a basis. he declared, the coins will

In a telegram to the Herald,

people were seen in the streets, he
says. and although badly dressed,
were looking remarkably we'll.
Churches are all open" Mr..
Lansbury continues, "and are being
restored at the public expense. true
religion has not been interfered
with and marriage is as sacred as
ever. There is nothing worse here
than in other capitals, and there is
very much that is better. l am

fight for economic freedom"

REGULATION IN
BRITISH ISLES
Plea for Restrictions Upon Sale OF
Liquor Feature of Speech
From Throne.

London, Feb. 10-Serious consid-
GRAFTON of economic conditions
throughout the country was urged
upon the house of commons today
Gy King George in his speech from
the throne, which opened the ses-
sion of parliament. He counseled

reaching reforms, which he said
were necessary to meet abnormal
conditions. He urged better educa-
tional facilities, settlement of the
Irish question, adjustment Of coal
mining controversies on an endur-
ing basis, regulation Of the liquor
traffic and measures stimulating
the growth of more foodstuffs at
home. He said bills would be in
troduced in parliament dealing with
insurance against unemployment,
regulation of working hours, min
imum wages and anti-dumping.
Hope for ireland.
"The condition OF Ireland causes
me grave concern" he said, but a
bill will be Immediately laid before
you to give effect to proposals for
a better government of that coun-
try, which was outlined at the end
of the last session of parliament. A
bill to make further provision for
education in Ireland will also be
submitted. Care will he taken to
make the measure compatible with
the home rule bill"
Affects Efficiency.
With refernce to the liquor Ques-
tion the king said:
Experiences during the war
showed the clearly injurious effects
upon the national efficiency OF the
excessive consumption of strong
drink, and the amelioration, in both
health and efficiency, which fol-
lowed appropriate measures OF
regulation and control. A bill &C
,cordingly will be presented to you
providing for the development OF a
suitable system for the peace time

|ARRAYPARTY
OPPOSITION
TO TRAINING
Democrats Action, After
Wilson Request, Prob
ably Kills Bill.

Washington. Feb. 10.-Democrats
of the house were on record today
as opposed to universal military
training, despite an appeal from
President Wilson that they refrain
from declaring themselves on the
issue until the Democratic national
convention in June.
The action was taken at the party
caucus last night when the house
Democrats came out 106 to II
against any measure providing uni
yersal compulsory military service
or training. Earlier in the session
the Democrats fatty rejected the
presidents appeal by voting IS to
3. against a proposal that action on
the measure be deferred.
Differ As to Effect.
There was a wide difference OF
opinion today among senators and
representatives as to the probable
effect of the action of the house
Democrats last night, in voting dis
approval of the enactment OF uni
versal military training legislation
by this congress.
Chairman Wadsworth, of the sem
ate military committee, announced
that the vote of the Democrats
would not deter him from pressing
the army reorganization bill re-
ported by his committee. Ee added,
that he was confidentil that when
congress and the public came to
understand the bill there would be
a very different view of it,
Chairman Kahn, of the house
military committee, also is deter
mined to press any army reorgani-
zation measure embodying the mill
tary training feature and the whole
question will be fought out on the
floor OF the house.
Vote Not Binding.
The vote in the caucus last night
was not binding, but some leaders
believe that the 106 Democrats who
voted for the resolution opposing
universal training will have the
balance Of power when the ques-
tion comes to an issue in the house,
as many Republican members also
are opposed to general training. .
Bryan Pleased.
Miami. Fla, Feb. 10-Disapprov-
al by house Democrats last night OF
enactment of universal military
training legislation by this con-
gress was viewed with great sat-
isfaction" here today by William
Jennings Bryan, who said it meant
that mo professional soldier will
be nominated for president by
either party" Mr.. Bryan, however,
made no reference to President
Wilson's letter sent to the caucus
opposing any party action on the
subject at this time.
