HERETOFORE
LONDON, Nov. 10—The newly
created war commission that is
handling all the affairs pertaining
to the war department, made Its
presence felt today by the issuance

whose desire to keep away from
active service in the field, took ad
vantage of the privilege." Had this
been allowed to continue, it would
have resulted in a shortage of men ;
in case of necessity. Some there j
who believe that the order is the
forernnner of conscription.
