Appeal Made for
Special COnStables

London, May 7.-tR1-Sir William
JOHNSON Hicks, the home secretary,
has made an appeal for 10000 men
to volunteer as special constables
joining the 10000 already enrolled,
so that by Monday there will be q
force Of $4,000.
Sir William commends the re-
Spouse to his previous appeal. But"
he says, 'the matter is urgent and
the sooner we get a strong, indeed
enormous force, the sooner we get
a protection for individuals, particu-
larly in London.
MAY say, therefore. that want
$4,000 special constables by Monday
morning. Over 10000 have already
enlisted. Surely there must be an
other 10000 in London willing and
eager to serve their country for a
few days. or even months, in this
crisis. 1t may be that men have
the right to withdraw their labor,
but it is absolutely certain that In
a free country men have the right
to work If they wish to do So"
