Premier Briand participating in the discus- sion. The bill provides for bringing into the service approximately 400,- 000 young men, who in times of peace would begin military service in 1917, its members being eighteen and nine- teen years old. The proposal is to call them on December 15, when they would be sent to garrisons and then trained and incorporated in various regiments and services. Deputy Turmel, the first speaker, demanded that the shirkers of mili tary duty, of whom he raid there w; no less than 45,000 in Paris, be taken from their hiding places and sent to the front before these young men were called. His words were ap- plauded by socialists and “booed” by others. Wanted Motion Defeated. Premier Briand asked the chamber to defeat the motion of M. Turmel, saying that the government could bhe counted on to do its duty; that the minister of war, as soon as he was appointed, took all necessary meas- ures to secure the complete utilization of all forces. “We need not be concerned about our strength,” said Premier Briand. “We are certain it is sufficient to car- ry us to the end and we are sure of success.” Applause Follows Declaration. This declaration -was followed by applause from the center and left. The premier, continuing, said that the chamber today was called upon only to fix the conditions under which the class should be called and the hygienic measures to be taken. . M. Turmel insisted on maintaining his motion. Colonel Driant urged the chamber to vote down the motion. His remarks were continually inter- rupted by socialists. Deputy Auriol demanded that the anti-shirker law, Vvoted some months ago, be completely applied and that the government tell the chamber what it has done in this respect. The premier said he could reply to M. Auriol only as he had to M. Tur- mel that if the government asked tho calling of the class it had serious rea- tralian Land Acts Would Help America. 4 Chicago, Dec. 1.—Harris Weinstock, of San Francisco, a member of the United States Industrial Relations Commission, and a member of the Cal- ifornia Rural Credit Commission, in an address before the National Con- ference on Marketing and Farm Cred- ifs here last night advocated state olonization to be adopted by all states of the union. As a remedy for ab- sentee. landlordism and . increasing tenantcy, Mr. Weinstock urged that the state purchase the raw land at the prevailing price, drain or water it as conditions require, and resell the " land to actual farmers at cost. Refer- Ting to the successes of the Irish and ‘Australian land acts, Mr. Weinstock said that some adaptation of these to meet American conditions would serve to encourage land ownership. He said in part: “I believe that the adoption of a state colonization system will enable homeseekers to become. successful farmers, and bring about a marked &hange in the existing contrasting situation between, say, California and Australia, which at present reads about eighty-five per cent of coloniza- tion successes in Australia and over ninety per cent. failures in California eolonization. “I believe that such a system will prove the only effective cure for the growing evil in our country of ab- sentee landlordism and farm tenantcy, because it will enable the more thrifty and industrious farm tenants who can save a few hundred dollars to become converted into landed proprietors, with all the blessings that such pro- prietorship means to them and the nation “A state colonization plan means &lso convertnig the farm laborer, who may have saved up a few hundred dollars, likewise into a landed pro- prietor, under conditions that will in- sure his success. Today the amount of money needed successfully to finance a modest farm is such that it would take the average farm laborer almost a lifetime to accumulate a sum sufficient for such an undertaking, whereas under state colonization, if he héfs enough to make a five per cent. payment on the purchase price of his land and one-third of the cost of his Improvements he would get an imme- diate footing under conditions that would carry with it hope and ambition, Instead of fear and dread and anxiety:” Trade Marik > appearsonthe label of every gehuine bottlenf sons for so doing. Must Vote Bill. “The chambe aid the premier. “must unanimously vote the bill which we ask as it has done since the beginning of the war.” Deputy Bracke protested against the premier's words. M. Turmel sup- ported M. Auriol's motion, which, put to a vote was defeated, 405 to 115. After several speakers had cized some conditions in the Gen. Gallieni, the minister of war, ad- dressing the chamber said that he wa in perfect accord with Gen. Joffre, commander of the French forces, and demanded the calling of the class of 1917. Measure of Prudence- This was a simple measure of pru- dence, he said. The class would not necessarily be sent immediately to the front, he added, but it must be thor- oughly instructed and care taken that THE C. L.

New York, Dec. 1.—Alleging that valuable papers had been destroyed, relatives contesting the will of Amos F. Eno, who died last October, leav- ing an estate valued at between $12- 000,000 and $15,000,000, yesterday ap- plied to the surrogate court for ter- porary administrators of the estate. After providing bequests for rela- tives, the will gave the residuary es- tate, said to amount to $7,000,000, to Columbia Universiay. The contes- tants declare the decedent was un- duly influenced. Lawyers for the contestants, include Gifford and Amos R. chot, asked that a member of family be named as an executor. fidavits were read. These were servants in the Kno home, who as- serted that after Mr| Eno's death, a clerk from a lawyer's office visited the Eno Fifth avenue home and de- stroyed papers. The servants said papers had been taken from Mr. who Pin- t he Af- hy ment. Gifford Pinchot said he went to the furnace room with a servant and found half a hamper full of pa- pers, letters, diagrams and photo- graphs. William N. Cromwell, lawyer rep- resenting a sister of the decedent, said that decedent had made many wills in his lifetime, but that in none of them had he mentioned Columbia University. “He didn’'t believe in colleges,” Mr. Cromwell said. ‘“He believed in the self-made man. For this reason the family is firmly convinced this is not the will of their uncle.” all eventualities be provided against. He insisted that the class be put at his disposition at the earliest possible moment in order that it may be ready in the spring of 1916, the time when said he, “in concert with our allies, our reinforcements and our arma- ments will permit us to make the de- cisive effort.” By a rising vote the chamber passed the bill authorizing the minister of war to call to the colors the 1917 class without specifying any date. Deputy Rafin-Hugedens, while ex- plaining his vote, asserted that sever- al of the chiefs had disregard for hu- man life. He was called to order and his remarks were formally noted, M. Deschanel, the president, said that he could not allow the army to be in- sulted in the chamber.
