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."

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.

A few novel Ideas were carried out and even the campaign orator was not missing. G. Murray Roat of Kingston, candi¬ date for county treasurer on the Dem¬ ocratic ticket, had a parade all his own.

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.

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

"But are we going to sacrifice the gospel of freedom for which we are flghtinK in order that Mrs. Fury may be a pauper and the rich man spared? "Do not let there be any mistake. The conBcriptionistB will not often be- hetrayed into talking of the 'cheap army' but it Is the cheap army of which they are thinking.
"And not of that alone, nor even chiefly. They are thinking something much more vital to their interests than pven a cheap war.
"They are thinking of the future day of fill the immense conseiiuences of thi.s war upon ri^mocracy. They see the war over and thrpe or four million men «'ho have fought and won it come back to fhe country, who.se freedom they have preserved. And they are fllled with alarm for they know that they will not come back as thpy went forth.
