GEIS BIß Government's Position cn Conscription Shown to bd Stronger Than Was Supposed. CARSON STARTS FIGHT ON ASQUITH CABINET Martial Law Throughout Island May be Result Are Four Vacancies in the Government. 'utTnnth.nnl News Service: LONDON. Jan. 7. Although the trades unionists are throwing their Htreugth against conscription and a fac'.ion of the unionist party, led by Sir Eelward Carson, has opened a H ,'ht to overthrow the Asquith cabinet, the passage of the military service bill on first reading in commons by a vote of 40? to 105 shows that the position of the government on compulsory service is stronger than was supposed. The anti-eonscriptionlsts had ex'pected at least 140 votes against the measure and possibly 145. "We have not yet begun to fight," is the cry of the anti-conscriptionists, who declare that a general election is looming nearer every day. Strikes Arc Hinte!. Veiled threats by labor leaders that a railroad strike and perhaps a codi strike will follow if conscription is put into effect are met with the stern possibility that martial law may be proclaimed throughout the United Kingdom with a military government taking th place of the pre-sent unioist government. The Northcliffe newspapers which have been fighting for conscription, are now turning their guns on a new target. They are demanding that Ireland be Included. If the conscriptionist newspapers and the anti-Asquith faction of the unionists are successful in bringing about a crisis on the conscription issue a general election will be practically certain. But followers of Mr. Asquith are sure that an election can be averted. Four Vacancies. A partial reorganization of the ministry is in sight even if the adherents of Sir' Edward Carnon are not successful in their tight to oust the AsquKh cabinet. There are nofc four vacancies in the government with tii'.s possibility of more in the near fut ire. The positions vacant are: Home secretaryship, which was given up b Sir John Simon, and the following posts which were vacated yesterday: Presidency of the board of education, tinder-secretaryship for home affairs and tie oftlce of lord commissioner of the treasury. The resignation of Arthur Henderson as president of the board of education did not come as any surprise. He is a laborite and when the National Labor congress went on record against conscriptions he was expected to give up office. Against CoivstTiptioii. William Brace, former parliamentary under-sretary for home affairs, and George II. Roberts, former lor l commissioner of the treasury, are both strong anti-conscriptionists. Walter Kunciman, president of the board f trade, and Reginald McKenna. chancellor of the exchequer, still retain their portfolios, but rumors that they will quit will not down. An analysis of the first ote on conscription in commons shows that Mr. Asquith retained nearly the full strength of the liberal party while many unionists supported his military program. A number of Irish nationalists did not vote, although their party leader. John Redmond, had given orders to vote against the measure. The conscription bill will he up for second reading next Tueslay. NAVAL OFFICERS iE MUZZLED IS CHARGED International News Service: WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Rep.

BI FIRE AID POLICE CHIEFS

Combination Patrol and Ambulance and Mounted Sergeant Are Wanted bv Chief Kerr. PUMPING ENGINE NEEDED STATES CHIEF SIBREL Would Aid in Fighting Fires in Outskirts Where Water Pressure is Weak. Needs Aerial Truck. Mounts for the sergeant patrolman and an additional combination police patrol and ambulance were the principal recommendations for 19 DI made by Chief of Police Millard F. Kerr at the meeting of the board of safety Friday morning. Chief Irving Sibrel of the lire department urged the addition of a 75foot aerial motor truck and an auto pumping engine in his recommendations which were also submitted to the board. In discussing the recommendation regarding horses for the patrol sergeants, Chief Kerr declared it to be almost a necessity because of the great amount of territory that must be covered by the men. He believes that by mounting the sergeants, work will be facilitated and that the department will be made more el!icient. He quoted as example cities in California, where all the patrolmen are mounted, showing that a greater amount of work can be done with a lesser number of men in a more proiieient manner. He also pointed to the movement in Kansas City and other cities where automobiles are being provided for the patrolmen, two men to a car. Need Ambulance. Chief Kerr's recommendation for d second combination ambulance and patrol is expected to be considered seriously by the board In tho near future. The same recommendation was made in 1913 but was tabled by the board. The reason fc'iven by Chief Kerr for wanting the new patrol is because of emergency work of all kinds which cannot be handlfd by the present equipment. In his request for a 75-foot aerial truck Chief Sibrel deelar d that tho present three-horse truck was practically worn out and was in a bad state of repair. He believes that the upkeep of the new truck would be about half what the present eciuipnunt cosLs. That a motor pumping truck would aid in saving much property on the outskirts of th eity was the substance of Chief SibrcTs reasons for asking for the pumping apparatus. I iit inan Krimis.
