Berlin newspapers com-| ment extensively on it. ‘The Morgen Post says conseription means a com- Plete breach with the ideals of the British, and belleves it is not certain whether it can be carri¢d out without sertously affecting affairs of State. It continues: “In the House of Commons David Lioyd Gorge recently told hia coun- trymen’ they had been too late there- tofore with all war measures. It is 90. certain they are too late also with | genera! military service, Decadon are required to build up a people's army, and the Briti#h have not time enough to maké conscription avail them any- thing.” The Socialist newspaper Vorwnerte refers to the decision of the British Cabinet as.one of far-reaching slgnit foance, saying: “The militarism which it desired to conquer compels the ist amd kingdom itself to take refuge to militarism.” The Vorwaerts betteves consoription will succeed after a hard fight. “So long as international diplomatic conditions precedent to peace are “and the masses aro not inteltigent and strong enough to compel Government to make and acknowledge these condi- tions, militarism will proceed frou iriumph to triumph.” Die Post refers to conseription as the most drastic invasion of private rights which the Briton could conceive, and payer thie attittide of ‘Parliament mey. catiee the question to assume great importance in England's inter- nal politics. ler the heading “Milltariam in a” the Voasisete Zoitting com- ments in the same vein as the Mor- gen«Post in regard to the ‘length “of time necessary to build up a great army.

This newspaper continues: Rio te there will be fanatics in who hope that infantile Brit- rm) miitariem will obtain a victory over venerable German militarism, Lat tiers hold their comforting views until a result contrary to their hopes is obtained.” Asserting Mr. Lioyd George has won over R’remier Asquith, the Tage- t continues: ‘o will not question. in any way the fact that the Cabinet's ision can be executed, but general service will hardly come to existence with- out hard Internal political batties and Prabably without new elections.” ‘The Taewlatl does not undertake to forecast tha military results of 90! but ventures this opin- tion: “It Is not improbable the change {n views of the Government was influenced etrongly by intima- tions B pea the afies of England oy awaume aNerato tar of the ea whieh the in it, This the nad § toxins ne fom stomach, liver, i bowels, al cleanse, sweeten ond alimen- ly the entire tag beget.
