English Cabinet Not Yet Agreed On Conscription LONDON, Oct. 14—No decision on the conscription was reached at the cabinet council yesterday, according to the Dally News. There was a prolonged discussion and the conscriptionists’ ministers | pressed hard for a decision, but falled to carry their point. There is little doubt, the Dally News L2 that Lord Kitohener's sympathies now are definitely on the side of con- scription. The Times asserts, however, | that the war secretary has declined to J‘-llulnn the responsibility of deciding | what course shall be followed. He ia re-|; |ported to maintain that he entered the | | oabinet as a soldler, not as a politician, and therefore does not regard himself as responsible for choosing the method of ralsing men. Jord Kitchener has represented to his colleagues that recrulting lately has fallen off seriously and that men must be found somehow, but that he is un- familiar with soclal and industrial con- ditions in the country and that it is for him to state his requirements and for the country to fill them. Hence, the Times asserts, the real responsibility now resty upon the cabinet. It is generally supposed that Lord Derby, when appointed director of re- |eruiting, was given six weeks in which |to show whether or not his voluntary recruliing campalign would be a success. Apparently efforts of labor leaders to In- duce men to enter the army are not meeting with the success expected and the likellhood of some form of compul- slon iy becoming stronger. m‘h today. “Gets-It" will surely it corn or callous vnbo-m or, Y time to of—take it of ¥ Apgly it in l-:o- ur stocking and shoe ng to stick, to] Tuss with' thick package out of your asors scissors, PD it's simplicity itself, nless.
