London, Jan. 6, 1150 p. m—Amid scenes of wild enthusiasm the house of commons tonight passed the first reading of the_bill for compulsory mil- itary service by the decisive vote' of 408 to 105. The vote came shortly before mid- night, with the galleries again packed, every seat on the floor of the house occupied, the ministerial benches fill- ed and an air of eager expectancy pre- vailing. The events of the.day.had increased the tension to a high pitch, notably the action of the labor con gress and the quick announcement of the retirement of the three labor mem- bers of the ministry. Balfour Roused Lagging Spirits. Throughout these _developments outside of parliament the debate in the house had forged steadily ahead, but had been left largely to the lesser figures. It was reserved for A. J. Bal- four, first lord of the admiralty, to closé the debate in behalf of the gov- ernment and he did it in a persuasive appeal of half an hour, which roused the laggina spirits of the advocates of the bill and turned the tide of adver- sity, which had been running steadily against the measure through the de- bate and outside events of the day. “Let this vote tonight show that we are a_united people,” was his closing appeal. “Do not let us give a false impression to the world that in the moment of the country’s gravest emer- gency we are divided one against an- other. Abandon your abstract theories and remember we are dealing with stern realities which call for great sac- rifices.” Tremendous Outburst of Cheering. Then came the vote. The announce- ment of the figures was received with a tremendous outburst of _cheering. Scores of members in khaki waved their handkerchiefs and the air was sent with white papers flung in tri- umph at the government’'s success. Premier Asquith Presented Bill. Amid the demonstration, Premier Asquith, his face, usually pale, now glowing with satisfaction, walked down the floor of the house to present the bill formally. 10-the chamber. tion, members of all sides cheering. Opposition Vote. An analysis of the vote showed that the government had held the great bulk of the Liberal and Conservative vote. The Irish Nationalists had voted against the bill, but the Irish Unionists supported the measure and _the O'Brienites took no part in the divi- sion, The minority showed a sprinkling of liberal members, the mest notable being John Burns, the former cabinet member. A number of labor mem- bers also voted with the opposition. ARRANGEMENTS FOR REPUBLICAN CCNVENTION, Committes Annouriced by Charles. D. Hilles, Chairman National Committe New York, Jan. 6.—Charles D.

It preceded the adoption without opposition of a reso- lution offered by Senator Fall calling on President Wilson for all available information bearing upon the recogni- tion of the government by the United States. Senators Fall and Lodge spoke in support of the resolutfon, insisting that the pres:dent should inform congress fully concerning the lltuulon before the nomination of an aml r to Mexico was confirmed. Debate European Matters. Senator Willlams diverted attention from Mexico in the course of the de- bate by commenting at length upon the questions arising from the European war. He said embargo on exports of munitions uld “hamstring” the United States more than any other first class power. Senator Borah wanted to know ‘whether the Mississippi senator thought that after the war some Eu- ropean government would attack the United States out of pure spirit of conquest. “I am not anticipating an attack, in the first place,” Senator Williams re- plied. “I am anticipating bullying first and I am anticipating the fact that American people will not consent to be bullied.” Plenty to Quarrel About. He declared there would be plenty to quarrel about, referring to repeated torpedoing of unarmed merchant ships by one nation and similar acts by the ally of that nation after questions in- volved apparently had been settled by diplomacy. Field of Diplomacy. “They are in the fleld of diplomacy now and the president of the United States has very wisely attempted to keep them within the field of diploma- " he added. “I am sorry for one that congress had to meet right now. 1 think the management of our diplo- matic affairs would have been more wisely handled by a man long-visioned ‘and deep-visioned and tender-visioned. He has all three of them. They are apt to be mismanaged when they are made a game of battledore and shut- tlecock on the floor of these two houses, even when I am one who plays the game.” WASHINGTON TEACHERS WIN A TEST CASE. | Retain Their Po- Reinstatement. May Marry and S sitions—One Win: Washington, Jan. 8. — Washington women school teachers were jubilant today over a decision of the supreme ! court of the District of Columbia, holding that they may marry and still retain their positions.

This rule automatically dis- charged a woman teacher when she married. The court set aside the regulation as unfair and discrihinatory. COLDEST WEATHER OF WINTER IN CHICAGO.
