FINOINO THE MEU FOR THE WAR L A I Mil BONAR LAW ON POSSIBLE iifN lEuiSlA no j LIMITATIONS OF PRESEnT BIl EXTENSION OF CLAUSES AFFECTING M 1\ ()fl\" f) rIA [1.1 ? M?R!E3 Ml  I  The Military Service Bill was con- ffidered n ilie House of Commons in Committ on Monday, ?nd at a late ¡ hour m important amendment was ae- cepted by the Government aSfeoUng the P061tion of newly-married Tfco origuial proposal was thai; men who mai'iied Sin.00 the elate of liegistiation (Aiigust ioth) thould be regarded as single men. The amendment a<x*>pted on Lion- day night provides that eligible men who had married before November 2nd, 1915, WJ.11 be treated as married men. Earlier in the day there was an im- teresting debate 011 thf* proposal that Ire- land i=J\ould be inchided in the compulsion scheme. After striking speeches by Mr. Bonar Law., on behalf of the Government, and Mr. Redmond, as Leader 01 the Irish Party, the amendment to include Ireland was negatived without a division. Mr. Borvar Law's Speech. A brief speech by Mr. Bonar Law treated considerable comment. Sir Ivor Herbert had moved to bring within the scope of the Military Service Bill single men who, after August 15th, 1915, had attained, or during the course of the prctionc year would attain, the age of 18 years. Mr. Bonar Law pointed out that the Bill was limited in scope for the purpose of Cal -r i r carrying out the pledge glyell by the Prime Minister. Therefore, tho measure could not be extended in the way sug- gested. It was quite impossible to say whethr, if the war went on, theM' men would be needed, but if so many more things would be needed than were now anticipated. I He hoped the occasion would never arise, but if it did arise, it might be necessary to take other measures to eecure the men necessary to see us safely through. But he denied that the Bill was in any sense a step towards general compulsion. Sir A. Bcvscawen said it was most deplor- able that the Government bad taken such a short view of the situation. In a brief time another Bill would be necessary. 1 Mr. Ell-is Griffith profoundly regretted I the speech of Mr. Bonar Law. The im- I portance of national safety was greater I than the pierlg-e given by the Prime Minis- ter. There were thousands of boyn under 19 in the Army to-day, and if tb", amend- ment were not accepted and the war lasted hundred? of thou Kind s of young men be- tween the ag-e of IS and 19 would be com- pelled to join, while others -would not come within the provisions of the Bill. <

SOCIALISTS AT LOGGERHEADS — O— » German Party Differences widen, In its issue of January 15 Vorwarts publishes a remarkable leading article on the coniiict within the German Socialist party which is certain to intensify tho differences existing between the majority and the minority of that body. It is clear from the promiuenco givea to this article that Vorwarta" has definitely ranged itself on the side of the minority, and against a majority which has yielded every vestige of its independence into the hands of the Government. It is a fact, says the article, that during the war German Social Democracy has de- veloped OIl a line which calls in question its intellectual and political independ- ence- It remains a fact that the greatest party in the world, with the greatest in- dependent political power, has done nothing to bring its power into action ot to use its gathered moral and material resource. On the contrary those powers, when used at all, havo been used in sub- ordination to the. war policy of the Government. Their power and their might hare becn- without influence on political happenings, and what is worse, no will ha; hn displayed to give effect to their own principles. It is in consequence of the weakness of this attitude, the article assures us, that th, German Socialist party to-day regards itself politically only as a support of the Government, that it rests its hopes and expectations on the Imperial Chancellor. Siuoe August 4, 191-1, the position of the party has undergone complete change. It his not been threatened from outside, its organisation and its Press have an assured place. The danger is not an out, ward one. The threat is to the inward essence of the parity—its democratic, socialistic, and international character, The danger is not to the body, it is the soul which is threatened with injury. The Yorwax ts" points out that the only way to counteract this process of change and decay is by free speech in the Reichstag. It is the only way open, for the Censor takes care to close all other methods of reaching the people by free speech. The future of Soeialsim hangs in the balance, ar.d it behoves the miooritv- to bostrr them.«selvep, if thev to i the -arts fl-nd its icjeak from shipwreck.
