Minor- ity Leader Mann doos not expect to have his committes assighments ready until Tuesday, and little can be done before Saturéay, when congress plans to adjourn until January for the Christmas holidays. Early In the week a fight that migh i have embarrassed holiday recess plans { seemed imminent when it was proposed ¢ that an effort be made to re-enact the emergency war tax law with amendments before adjournment.

UNDER 20 PER CENT HOLD OUT LONDON, Dec. 12.—The enroll- ment of volunteers under Lord Derby’s plan for immediate and fu- ture military service could not be | completed today on account of the , numbers crowding the enlistment of- | fices throughout the kingdom at the ! eleventh hour. Therefore, the war of- | fice announced the extension of the ! time untill midnight Sunday with a | possible further extemsion to mid- | night Wednesday. | Recruiting will continue Sunday | | and if the numbers of the last two | days are kept up the total enlistment for the last three days probably will | equal the total for any preceding | | three weeks. Duty of Free Men. The process of enlistment was attended by pisturesque and enthusiastic gather- | |ings. Banda and orators, both official jand voluntary, from military and civil |1ife, had been busy. The keynote of the |#peeches had been that Britons should |show the worid that free men are able and wiliing to defend their country WAth- | out compulsion | After the enroliment is completed the | | | |those engaged In government work and | ‘“Indispensable” to the industries. A large | | proportion of those enrolled may also bé | |barred by the medical officers because the examinations of the last two days |have been for the most part superfictal, and in many instances dispensed with al- together, the medical officers being un- able to keep up with the enrollments. Number of Recruits, There is no information at present re- garding the number of recruits, but the trade unlon leaders tonight confidently | declared that the Derby campaign was a success. The last census gave the num- {ber of men in England, Scotland and Wales between the ages of 18 ana years as §100,000, nearly half of whom were single. The general understanding has been that about 3,000,000 entered the army before Lord Derby's recruiting cam- paign began and it is belleved that be- tween 80 and 90 per cent of the re- malnder have presented themselves for attestation. ¥ From this total must be deducted three classes—the physically unfit, those en- |gaged in munitions werk and those en- gagea in other necessary ocallings, such aas railroading, mining, shipping and farm- ing, whose numbers cannot be approx- imated except by the officials.

About 800,000 | tona for this work could be drawn from | the present merchant marine, he says, i but some method must be found to eupply | the rest. Auziliary Oraft in Commerce. “The solution for the government,” the roport continues, ‘is to construct, from time to time, a sufficlent and suitable auxiliary fleet, proportioned to the needs | of the navy, and to have such auxiliaries operated in commerce during peace times in such a way as will preserve them and train the essential naval reserve of men, | and while doing this relleve the govern- | ment of the burden of cost of mainte- | nance through the income or eamings of the vessels employed in.ocommerce. Sueh a policy would give to the navy, without cost for its operation during | peace, a perfect auxillary. Of course, ! these ships should be built upon navy | plans and manned by American eitisens | {rained under navy regulations, which would make them efficlent in time of war."

Dutch Government Will Not Encourage Ford's Peace Party THE HAGUB, (via London), Dee. 12— Neither entourngement, recognition ner | support in any shape or form will be offered to the Ford peace party by The Netherlands government, according to in- formation from official sources given to & correspondent of the Associated Press. Government officlals, it was indicated, naturally noted the party's departure and alpo recelved a notification thereof from the leader, but no reply was forwarded. No opposition will, however, be placed in the way of the party’s landing in Holland, but should the act!vities of its members become embarrassing while here, they will in all probability be requested to their headquarters to other than Dutch territory, Private pacificlsts, of ‘whom there are many In this country, probably will welcome the Ford party as an addition to their ranks. The impression prevails that the general public and the press are inclined to re- gard the efforts of the Ford party as futile as the opinion is widely prevalent here that peace will not be achieved by the efforts of pacificists, but as a result of hard fought battles in which one an- tagonist sucoumbs. STQCKHOLM (via London), Deec. 13.— Henry Ford's peace mission is regarded by the Swedish press as a novelty which will have no chance to intervene in the cause of peace. No acknowledgment of the misslon, it is stated, will be made by the Swed!sh authorities, and the Ameri- ean legation has taken no notice of It. CHRISTIANIA (Via London), Dee. 18— A wircless message recelved from the Ford peace party on board the steamer Oscar IL . requests that hotel accom- modations for 168 persons be arranged.

Mr. Prohaska, with his wife, went to Texas about a month ago in the hope of bewefitting his falling health. He was 6 years old. He came to York county in the year 152 and set- tled on a farm near Charleston, where he made his home until about the first of October, when he moved to York.
