LEADERS   IN   PUBLIC   LIFE   DIVIDED    ON    QUESTION
London. Sept. 18—The executive com¬ mittee of the Atnalgtimated Railway L'nion of 300.000 workera today notified the government that any at tempi to torce conscription will result In civil war. The committee unaniomualy en- doraed the flery speech of J. H. Thom¬ as, la±ior member of Parliament, last Thursday.
This is the answer of British Rail¬ way Unions to the appeal of Lloyd Georve laat week when he aaid: "Unless the unions allow unskilled men and women in do, as far as they are able, Wfirk hitherto done by skilled men, and unices the\ allow an unqualified relax¬ ation of union rules limitinK out put, we are making straight fur disaster, fur, unless the nation can exert ita whole strenKtIi in this war, we shall fail."
The bUO delecates u> the trade union congrest represtntating 3,000,000 Brll- iah workers also voted yesterday against conscription.
AU Kngland is now divided on this question of forced fcervlce in the army and in the workshops. Kngland needs a larger output I'f war munitions and it uIfo needs J,0O0.O(> i more men in tbe army beside the l,oOU,OOU already al the front.
It la the same bitter struggle that Americans saw in tht t.Mvil war. The federal sovernment afiei raising near¬ ly 2,000,000 volunteers was forced to resort to conscripiion i^f forced service. The  result  was  the  "draft  riots."   .Men

of creating an impregnahle harrier in the east, even though the Germans by ill   chance   shall   reach   fonstantinople
By  James  Garvin,   Editor of the   Pall Mall Gazette.
London, Sept . 18.—While Germany cannot win as she had hoped, before the war Is through she will still make •i desperate struggle to connuer Europe and threaten India. There is real and increasing danger of a bad settlement or even a disgraced peace. No more insidious peril could menace our fu¬ ture. The people at home have It In their hands to prevent a German suc¬ cess in every settlement threatening the whole security or our future exis¬ tance.
To work with might and main against these things is a case where the energy of every man and woman In Kngland can help their country to a glorious victory.
Six months ago we were told again nnd again upon authority that the Ger¬ mans had finally lost their initiative. The statement is not true. It was not meant to be a falsehood; none the less it is profoundly mistaken and gross delusion.
The allies cannot begin until once more they have got initiative fully in their own hands and nothing mnv will ijive a !?tr"nt and continued Initiative to Ihe allies except a large development iif the actual fighting power of Britain on land.
We must therefore have at any price and without delay such an organiza¬ tion in this country as shall give us sufficient means.
Germany cannot win clean out. The is     the     overwhelming

The withdrawal fol¬ lowed several days of stubborn fight¬ ing in which the Russians greatly out¬ numbered the Teutons.

Bartmik whs shot at 3 o'clock in the \ afternoon  in a  vacant  lot a  short dis- 1 taiice   from   his   own   home.     Together with a friend, he had left bis home to go   to     the     Wilkes-Barre     mountain ' where they were to search for the first chestnuts   of   fhe   season.

According to the story told the police, Bartmik entered Into conversation with the two strange boys. At first fhelr re¬ lations were friendly, but in a few moments an argument arose and fhe quarrel  waxed  warm.
Bartmik and the boy carrying the revolver came to blows. For several minutes the fist fight raged, until the unknown boy gave the other a severe push.

New Tork, Sept. 18—The terms of the loan which American hankers frrm to make to Rngrand and France are near- l.v agreed upon. The exact amount of the loan has not yet been flxed. The commission representinK fhe British and French governments held k short session at Hotel Biltmore today.
It was not settled that a clause should state that no part of the loan shall be used  for the purchase  of ammunition.
That Is the intent of many American subscribers who don't want to have anything to ilo with the financing of war supples but who recoflnize at this season of the year Europe usiiallyUakes J600.0go,000 worth of wheat and cotton. To pay for these prodticts by cresting a credit here for France and England to draw upon is the sole motive for the securing of fhe loan
Not a dollar of this money will be sent abroad. The entire sum will be deposited irt a hundred or more Amer¬ ican banks and be used to pay chiefly for cotton and wheat. The cotton and wheal are now coming to market at Gulf and Atlantic ports nnd at least $,=100,000,000 win be required within the next ninety days to pay for It.
