NEWS HINTS REVOLUTION
WILL FOLLOW CONSCRIPTION
A. ° A. Service.
LONDON, Dee. 30.—Although It 1*
not now believed that the government
will resort to conscription In order to
111! the ranks of the new British army
the subject of conscription continues
to occupy a prominent place In the
public mind and both press and pub
lic are still discussing the possibilities
in that line.
Several papers are openly advocat
ing conscription as a universal panacea
for military troubles, claiming that the
only reasonable way to solve the prob
lems of raising troops Is to institute
conscription measures at once.
Others contend that conscription Is
not only undesirable but unnecessary,
while several, Including the Dally
News, openly hint that there will be
a revolution in England if conscription
is ordered. That conscription would
not be popular and may lead to Inter
nal disturbances Is admitted by many
of Its adherents but It is not generally
believed that serious results would fol
low the adoption of a limited con
scription measure. It is pointed out
that the measures adopted by Lord
Derby and In vogue at present are]
equivalent to actual conscription, yet |
no great opposition has developed. . . ‘
