London, Dec. 22—After an all
niejit session, lasting until 6 o'clock
this morning, the House of Com
mons oassed the Asqulth bill voting
the enlistment of an extra million
men.
The session was one of the
stormiest in England's history.
John Dillon, leader of one faction
of the* Irish Nationalists, created
a commotion when he declared:
"What Is the use of sending
mora troops under men lika those
responsible for the failures at Cuvla
Bar, and Anzac."
He declared that "England's
braTe subjects were being l$d into
a terrible slaughter, by incompe
tent military leadere," and, again
attacking Asquith, he said:
"The premier's speech lacks any
attempt to add a fourth of a mil
lion. We are now traveling the
road leading to ruin and the loss
of »he war." 1«W-! •• pp!#{
John Redmond, Irish Nationalist:
party leader, declared that the
NationallBtB would oppose conscrip
tion to the last ditch.
London, today was placarded with
postern bearing extracts from Red
mond's recent recruiting speech.
Among the parages quoted were
the following: ' The Irish troops la
the trenches asked ma to Bay they
feel that every man of them in this
war Is fighting not merely for lib
erty and right, but for the prosperi
ty of their beloved Ireland, as welL
They apIreland to stand by them.
Another was:;
"I say to the Irish tfoople that
they will be disgraced forever In
history If they fall to send out re
serves to replenish the gaps tfcat
may arise in the. Irish rank."
A RECORD TO BE
VERY PROUD OF
Since Au-; 1, Christmas day was
the first time that the Home Pow
er company has been compelled to
shut off the power, and this was
due to a leaking Joint In its high
pressure main from the hill. The
power was only off a little over
three hours, 10:30 to 1:46 o'clock,
and as it happened at a time of
the day when there was little use
for light and power, the break in
the service was hardly noticed.
