ASQUITHE FOREGASTS ‘GERRY” FARRAR ILL; A CONSCRIPT ARMY Outlines Plan for Compulsory Ser- vice in England London, April 26.—Premier Asquith at the secret session of parliament yesterday presented on behalf of the government proposals foreshadowing general military success attended to obtain men required by voluntary enlistment from amongst unattested married men.” The government’s proposals were publicly announced today in a long statement to the press. The government, Mr. Asquith said, will “forthwith ask parliament for compulsory power,” unless at the end of four weeks ending May 27, fifty thousand men have been secured by voluntary enlistment. The same course is proposed if in any one week after May 27, fifteen thousand men have not been secured by direct en- listment. These arrangements are to hold good until 200,000 unattested men have been obtained. Owing to the length of time re- quiréd to sift individual cases under the present system, the press state- ment said, recruiting to date has “fallen short of requirements which were necessary to fulfill our proper military effort.” , The statement says: ‘“The premier in moving the od- journment of the house gave the par- ticulars of the expansion of the army from the first days of the war up to the present time and of the total mil- itary effort of the empire, including contributions from the self-governing dominions and India. “The bearing of finance on the ques- tion of recruiting and in particular of financial assistance rendered to the Allies, was then explained. Recruiting Results Disappoint. compulsion unl2ss ““‘immediate efforts | manner jn which this assi “Results of recruiting, more par- ticularly since August last, when = istration was carried out, were re- viewed. It was shown that the sults obtained tu date had fallen short of requirements which were necessary to fulfill our proper military effort. This was duc not to an over-estimate of the number of available but to the length of time which must be occu- pied in sifting individual cases. “To meet the situation the govern- ment determined upon three relatively minor proposals. “First prolongation until the end of the war ot the service of tima ex- pired men whose period of service un- der the present law can be extended for one year only. “Second, to empower the military authorities to transfer men enlisted for territorial battalions to any unit where they are needed. “Third,” to render the exempted man liable to military service imme- diately on the expiration of his cer- {ificate of exemption. “With a view to ultimate addition to forces available they will further propose to bring under the terms of the military service act all youths under 18 on August 15 last as they teach that age. To Take Unattested Bachelors. “Further, the prime minister stated: “First, that the government, recog- nizing that the necessary numbers re- quired for the discharge of our mili- tary obligations Will not be available for service at the time required under present arrangements, agrees that immediate effort shall be made to obtain men required by voluntary enlistment from amongst unattested married men. “Second, that if at the end of the four weeks ending May 27, 50,000 of these men have not been secured by direct enlistment, the govern- ment will forthwith ask parliament for compulsory power. “Third, that if in any week after May 27, 15,000 men have not been secured by direct enlistment the same course will be taken, any surplus over 15,000 in one week being carried over to the next. ‘Fourth, that arrangements in paragraphs 2 and 3 are to hold good until 200,000 unattested men have been obtained. In the meantime the position will be under constant re- view by the government. “It was pointed out that as under this scheme all available unattested married men would be enlisted either voluntarily or by compulsion, the main ground alleged for the release of attested married men would dis- appear.” The premier, the statement says, also sald that the question. of assist- ance to be given ‘“to enable men in Eis Majesty's forces to meet their civil liabilities” had been placed in the hands of a special committee. The committee had made consider- able progress, and had obtained the concurrence of the treasury to the following general principles: “First, the scheme of assistance v:ill apply to all men who joined the forces since the fourth of August, 1914, or who may join hereafter, and to single as well as married men. “Second, items in respect of which assistance will be granted include rent (including ground rent and rent of business premises), mortgage in- terest, payments of installments in (irtue of contracts such as purchase of premises, business or furniture, taxes, rates, insurance premiums ond school fees. Relief will not be given for the purpose of enabling any person to discharge such liabilities as ordinary debts to tradesmen, “Third, it is not contemplated that ance to granted in any in- dividual case should _exceed 104 pounds per annum.’” Provision is Te- be made for the tance shall also be applied for and granted. CANGELS HER DATES Famous American Singer Is Af-| licted With Throat Trouble York, April 26.—Geraldine Farrar, with a recurrence of the seri- ous throat trouble which prevented her appearance on several occasions at the Metropolitan Opera House last month, is confined to her home under the care of a physician and has been forced to cancel all her operatic en- gagements in Atlanta as well as con- cert dates. Miss Farrar is suffering with quinsy. Giulio Gattiasazza, the Metropol- itan Opera Company's director who was in town yesterday after the close of the Boston season said the prima donna would not sing in Atlanta. The operas in which she was to have appeared ‘‘Madame Butterfly’” and ‘“Tosca,” have been replaced by ‘“‘Lu- cia” and “La Boheme” in the South- ern engagement, which began on Monday. Although the singer’s con- dition is not considered dangerous, she is not able to sing a note and will have to rest for a week or two. With the Atlanta season due to close on Saturday it is expected that the annual announcement concerning the plans of the company for next season will be made early next week. Several singers of minor importance are known to have already been en- gaged. Reginald de Koven’s opera in English, “The Canterbury Pilgrims;” is said unofficially to have been ac- cepted for production. Such operas as “La Chute de la Maison Usher” and “The Flying Dutchman,” which figure in the announcements each year but never seem to get a hearing, can be depended upon to, bob up again, but otherwise the’ opera official have dropped few hints as to the makeup of the company or its repertoire be- yond saying that all the principai ar- tists who were with' the company this season have been retained. Several of the singers are planning to risk ocean travel during the war- time and journey back to their native countries for the summer. thers, after a short season among the opera houses of South America and Cuba, will remain in this country.

DAZE OF LOVEIS | FAST EVAPORATING Henry J. L. Washington Seeks Divorce From Unwelcome Bride New York, April 26.—Henry James Lamar Washington, whose marriage in 1908 to Miss Lucille Margaret Graves Osborne caused the executors under the will of his uncle and foster father, Herfry J. Lamar of Macon, Ga., to refuse to pay him one-sixth of the $800,000 estate, brought suit se- cretly here for a divorce several weeks ago. The case probably would have re- mained a secret and might never have been tried had it not been for the in- sistence of Mrs. Washington and her counsel that the charge against her be sifted in court. She alleges that she has been the victim of an effort by her husband to free himself of her, with possible effect on his contest over his | uncle's estate. | The plaintiff, who calls himself La- | mar Washington, is the son of Col. W. H. Washington of Nashville, Tenn.,, | one of the best known attorneys in | Tennessee, who was counsel for the Coopers when they were tried for kill- ing Senator Carmack. It ‘had been stated in court roceedings that Henry J. Lamar took Col, Washington’s son upon the death of his sister, the wife | of Col. Washington, at which time the | boy was twenty-one months old, and that $10,000 was paid to the boy's father. This has been denied by Mrs. Val- erie Lamar Harriss, wife of Dr. John A. Harriss, president of the Interna- tional Arms and Fuse company, who ' was alleged to have given the testi- | mony. Mrs. Harr who died a few days ago, was the aunt of Lamar Washington, and it is said that he will | receive a large part of her estate. Must Please His Aunt, | Under the will of Henry J. Lamar, his adopted son was to get one-sixth | of the estate only on condition that his | marriage was pleasing to his aunt, l Julia Lamar, one of the executors. His marriage to Miss Osborne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Osborne of the | Ansonia hotel, took place at the Rut- gers Presbyterian church on June 16, 1908. Mr. Washington insisted that aunt was satisfied with the match and that she congratulated him, but Miss Lamar denied it and withheld his share of the estate. He sued for it and the case was tried in 1911, re- sulting in a disagreement by the jury. It was learned vesterday that after | Mrs. Washington had served on her husband’s attorney affidavits in an ap- plication for alimony efforts were made in behalf of the husband to have the case dropped. The alimony ap- plicatioh was withdrawn, and no pa- his | per was filed in court until yesterday, when Griggs, Baldwin & Baldwin, counsel for Mrs. Washington, filed a notice of trial and served notice that an application for alimony would be, made before Justice Delehanty thié morning, when Mrs. Washington will tell of her decision to have her name cleared of the charges against her. 100 BOMBS DROPPED.
