BRISTOL. England, January 27.—A resolution opposing conscription in any form was adopted by an overwhelming majority at todays session of the national labor conference of delegates representing more than 2,000,000 workers. The conference yesterday adopted a resolution pledging the conference to assist the government as far as possible In the i successful prosecution of the war. The resolutions adopted today protest- [ Ing In the name of the National Labor party against the adoption of conscription in any form were passed by a card vote of 1.796,000 against 219,000. Found It On Their Tables. The resolution follows: "Resolved, That this National Labor party protests emphatically against the adoption of conscription in any form, as it is against the spirit of British democracy and full of danger to the liberties of the people.” When the delegates assembled today for the second day s session they found this resolution on their tables, and also
one on the military service bill, which were designed to take the place of the numerous proi>osals which have been made on these subjects The other resolution placed before the conference was: "This conference de-l clare* its opposition to the military service bill, and In the event of It becoming law deckles to agitate for Its repeal.** Big Majority Was Expected. The great majority with which the labor congress adopted the anti-conscrip-tion resolution was fully expected. The workers of the country desired to express their condemnation of the principle of conscription. It was the general ojplnion among the representatives of the miners from Scotland, Wales. Northumberland. Durham and Nottingham, that no actual steps would he taken except perhaps by a few extremists, to oppose the operations of the military service bill. The extremists were represented in the debate by a Bristolian named Widdicombe. who proposed that the powers of the workers be used to prevent putting the military service bill Into effect, and hinting at a national strike which, however, was deprecated in other quarters and not likely to occur.

BERLIN, January 27.-Kaiser Wilhelm celebrated his fifty-seventh birthday today in the field with his troops. Chancellor von Bethmann-Holiweg, who left Berlin late last night, is en route to army headquarters to Join the emperor. At the kaiser's special request the elaborate celebrations of the years preceding the war were not duplicated today. Flags were hung out in Berlin and other cities of the empire, but the usual parades and street demonstrations were lacking. In Berlin several entertainments were given, the proceeds going for Red Cross work and for the children of soldiers at the
front.
The kaiser has now completely recovered from his recent illness, according to reporta received here, and spends the larger part of the daylight hours In the
field.
Kaiser Grants Amnesties. The 6nly formal observance consisted of religious services. The emperor granted amnesties in several cases. The principal celebration was held at the general headquarters yesterday. Congratulations were extended to the emperor by Archduke Charles Francis, heir to the Austrian throne, on behalf of Emperor Francis Joseph; by Field Marshal Baron Conrad von Hoetzendorf, Austrian chief of staff; Prince Henry of Prussia; Lieu-tenant-General Zekkl Pasha, head of the special Turkish military mission to Germany. and by Colonel Santshev, representing Bulgaria. Emperor William thanked them for their felicitations and expressed the conviction that final victory in the war would rest with the central powers. Resent Attacks on Ruler. All the newspapers of Berlin publish eulogistic articles concerning the emperor, recalling the fact that he was able to maintain peace for twenty-five years. "Now that war has come,” says the Overseas News Agency, in summarizing the comment of the press, "attempts are being made to present the emperor in a false light by means of calumny. The press expresses the hope that the truth will become known, as It was in the case of Abraham Lincoln, who was calumniated by the British In the same manner.” WILSON SENDS GREETINGS.

THE SAILING OF THE HISPANIOLA IN “TREASURE ISLAND.”
“Yo-heave-ho and a bottle of rum!” • Shivers and thrills, thrills and shivers! Get ready, mateys, for here comes Robert Louis Stevenson's “Treasure Island,” dramatized to the nerves’ limit by Jules Eckert Goodman. It begins a week’s engagement at the Murat theater next Monday evening and every boy who has ever gohe with little Jim Hawkins, the
boy whose “wish come true,” will sit again under the spell of Stevenson's mag>terful narrative. "Treasure Island,” in stage form, is only a few weeks old but it has been generally received wherever played because it has brought memories to every man who has ever known boyhood’s terrified hours behind the pages of Stevenson’s story. The play Is in four acts and nine scenes and gives living action to such old friends as Captain Bill Bones, Blind Pew, Black Dog, Long John Silver, Dr.
Livesay, Squire Jim Hawkins, Ben Gunn, Israel Hands, George Merry and even Captain John Flint, the parrot. And we shall, see again the go6d ship Hispaniola, Spyglass mountain, the pirates’ cave, the stockade, Ben Gunn's cave and even the treasure itself. It will be Interesting to see the first nighters at “Treasure Island.” Then this old town will know who the fellows are that used to sit back of the barn or up the apple tree delving Into the thrills of Treasure Island.”

The standing army, he continued, should consist of 220.000

“God knows.” replied the general. Submarine Troubles Explained. American submarine troubles have been due mainly to three causes, the house naval committee was Informed by RearAdmiral R. S. Griffin, chief engineer of the navy. He designated these difficulties as follows: Efforts to design a two-cycle heavy oil engine to reduce engine weight and at the same time increase power and efficiency. Efforts to attain maximum speed, whidh brought out faults in the cooling systems of the engines not met with at
lower speed.
Assignment of inexperienced junior of-

Concerning the first difficulty, Admiral Griffin said he thought the development of a successful heavy oil two-cycle engine would make the American boats

General Wood said with a proper form of enlistment, including a maximum enlistment term of two years and with qualification for military service as the basic consideration there should be no difficulty in raising the standing army of 220,000 that the United States should have. “If a man can not become a soldier In six months' training, he’s not worth havilt«,“ he said. ,T In case of war we could hot wait six months to train our soldiers?” he was

General Wood opposes the continental army, “I can’t see anything but disaster in starting a new forte to stand around in the military foreground struggling for

“The continental army is merely a stop gap and a makeshift. You cay play with the continental army and with the national guard.

MORE STUDENTS EXPECTED.
Butler College Attendance Will Be In-
creased—Changes In Faculty. The first semester of the Butler college
school year ended yesterday, with the Ihst day of the Hnai examinations. A vacation of one week separates the first and second terms, registration days for the new terms being Wednesday and Thursday Of next week. The applications
for matriculation that are coming into the college office, indicate an increase over the attendance of the term just ended, making the total attendance for the whole year the highest in the history
of the school.
The first term of the College of Missions. which is connected with Butler college, ended yesterday. Word from the president’s office is that the names of man\ new students will be added to the record attendance of the college for this year. TWo Important changes will be made in the faculty. Dr. H. C. Hurd, dean of the college, is acting as president in the absence of President Charles T. Paul, who left last week for a six months! tour of South America. Mrs. Maria Ford has been added to the teaching force to fill the vacancy of President Paul, who

delivery from the coal man. Father's Hopes Vanish.
Father had almost begun to think that
spring had surely come and he would maybe be able to buy that new pair of shoes which he has needed for so long. Of course. Jie might have had to take into consideration the doctor’s bill which might have been the result of the family’s grip and cold spells which abnormal
midwinter weather often brings. But there was a chance to escape and
doctors sometimes do not get their s as easily as the coal man. But if father glanced at the prediction of the weather bureau today, he found himself face to face with another one of those drearv tragedies which have come and gone so
many times this winter.
The welcome guest was packing his grip to make room for the uninvited guest which is hurrying hitherward on the wings of a northw'est movement where temperatures such as Indiana never dreams of were holding a mass meeting
of protest.
Advance Notices There was little Indication on the surface today of the impending arrival of the polar guest, but just off to the leeward and well within the circle of the weather man’s activities, his advance notices could be seen. Up in Havre. Mont, the temperature was just 54 degrees below aero, the lowest temperature which has been recorded in the United States this
year.
Stretching south and east the zero temperatures came and took in the Dakotas and Iowa. The movement east is sure the weather man said, and one of those delightful drops in temperature from 60 degrees and more to the near-zero mark is booked for Indianapolis tonight and tomorrow. Preceding the drop was expected to come a rain and probably snow. Temperatures in the Ohio valley have been abnormally warm for this time of year for more than a week, and have been the result of a low pressure which has been blacked by a “high" along the Atlantic coast During its stay the weather has been balmy—too warm. In fact, for com-
fort.
The weather man is of the opinion, however, that the "low” will not be able to withstand the pressure which a well developed “high" in the northwest will bring, and he said It will pass on eastward tonight, giving the cold "at m os ph e r es an open road to these parts. It was a cold wave warning that the weather man issued today*, And a hint to the wise is sufficient. ^

of the state:
“This state has been the muddiest, wettest, (Cloudiest spot in the universe for a week. Even at that, San Diego has had the best of it. While all the country around has been flooded, San Diego was not damaged. We are within a square of the edge of the cliffs above Mission valley. which is a wreck—houses swept away and much stock drowned by the San Diego river. From a nice high and dry place, absolutely safe, we could ook down and see a regular flood. It rained from last Thursday night to Wednesday noon— a rainfall of 4.33 inches and during that time we remained by the stove and I came through undamaged. “For several days our only communication with the outside world was by one little wireless station. We have had no mall since Monday morning. The last train left here at 12:60 p. m. Monday and has not gone very far yet It Is thought trains will be running again next week. Occasional boats are arriving, the first since the storm began arriving \\ ednes^Rjos^tngeles and surrounding country are badly damaged and the Los Angeles harbor at San Pedro is ruined by silt.
