CONSCRIPTION IS HIGHLY PROBABLE As Well as Necessary to Bring Up British Army to Standard. * BALKANS ASSUME ASPECT MOST PEACEFUL IN WEEKS Considerable Activity on Both Eastern and Western k Fronts. T * \ Conscription in modified form is considered probable in Great Britain. Late London dispatches say that the British cabinet has virtually decided upon a bill to this end, which will be introduced in the House of Commons ^ and give the Government the power to act in case of necessity. The Cabinet eouneils in T nmlnn have aroused intense interest because of the rumors of dissension among members, or their inability to come 1 to an agreement on the question of how the British army is to be brought up to the standard deemed essential to the winning of the war. But the latest reports of the Cabinet meetings would seem to indicate that the ministers have found a way out of the difficult:es confronting them. The sitaution in the Balkans?the point of chief interest for the moment in the war?ir quiescent. The French and British behind their defensive ^ lines at Saloniki are reported in a dispatch from British headquarters to he well prepared for any attack by the Teutonic Allies. These lines desrr!hf> nn mv nf onmit - v?>.

Doubt is expressed in Vienna that the Austro-Gerrpans will attack the British and French at Saloniki on the ground that so long as the Entente Allies are merely held in that position they can do no harm and the expedition will continue to prove a costly one, as well as hazardous, because of the length of the Allied communications. ' Unofficial advices from Roumania say that Germany is preparing for a powerful Egyptian campaign in which Turks, Germans and Austrians will take part. The proposed army for the venture it is estimated will number 500,000 to 800,000 men. A Vienna dispatch arriving in Switzerland says the German Imperial Chancellor shortly will arrive in Vienna with the full conditions under which the central powers will accept peace and that after a conference with the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, the conditions will he made known officially to the Entente Allies. Again the Russian have vigorously assumed the offensive on the Bcssarbian front but according to Vienna their attacks collapsed under the Austrian fire. Except at Hartmans-Wcilerkopf in the Vosges Mountains, there has been no noteworthy engagements in the west in which infantry has taken part. Elsewhere on all the battle fronts the fighting has been with the artillery. o doctor (ill (ho weak old man falls back m ins chair, his heart stopped in death.

INTERESTING IF TRI E One of Uncle Sara's Marines Predicts , End of The War. New York.?"The war will end on July 26, 1916. On October 12, 1916. San Francisco will be bombarded and destroyed by a hostile fleet." Gunnery Sergeant Thomas G. Sterrett, United States Marine Corps, makes this dire prophecy, not from an advanced military knowledge, but from the fact that he is a seventh son of a seventh son with no girls between, and his comrades in the Marine Corps think him something of a forecaster. Sterrett first gained fame when, in 1892, he predicted a new railway station for Kansas City. In 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1915, he foretold with uneri ring accuracy the overflow of the Alj legheney's banks and the flooding of , Pittsburgh's downtown section. * /' hock composed o! Minute Fossils.

Ferguson, Arrested Here For % Passing Bad Checks (Charlotte Observer.) From Sheriff Rector of Greenville, S. C., last night came a telegram to the local police department, requesting the holding of R. G. Ferguson, alias P. J. Steele, who was arrested in this" city by local detectives on Mon day night. The wire from the South Carolina official stated that the young man was wanted upon the charge of passing worthless checks upon the Imperial Hotel of that city to the amount of $55. Ferguson, the name under which he masqueraded in this city, when he passed alleged bogus cheeks upon the Selwyn Hotel in the amount of $00, will probably be tried at tomorrow's session of recorder's court. Whatever the finding of the court, he will be liable for the Greenville charge, should the authorities care to push the count. In addition to his Greenville and Charlotte operations, Ferguson, who is of pleasing appearance, admits the floating of worthless checks in Spartanburg. The check- flasher- was arrested by Detectives- McKnight and Orr on Monday night, upon complaint of the Selwyn Hotel. Since his registration at the local hostelry on Thursday of last week, Ferguson had passed a check in the amount ot $30 and had another in the sum of $50, partially floated, the hotel officials promising to cash the second check with the pay I niii.w .. r i.:? l. _*_i u.-:; incut ui ins nuu'i uni. l noir suspivcions were, however, excited through the alleged forged indorsement of Mr John S.

Washington.?A paper by Theodore Roosevelt on social values and national existence, furnished a theme for an animated discussion before tin American Sociological Society in am nual session here. It was read by Prof. Kdward A. Ross, of tHe University of Wisconsin, president of the so|ciety. "Infinitely the moat important fact to remember in connection with the war and militarism in relation to mor , al and social values," writes Mr. Roosevelt, "is that of an unscrupuI lous, warlike, and militaristic nation is ont to be held in check by the war' like .ability of a neighboring non-mili .. . - - itanstic and well-behaved nation, then the latter will be spared the necessity of dealing with 'moral and social values' because it won't be allowed to deal with anything. "It seems to be positively comic to fail to appreciate, with the example of Belgium before our eyes that the j real'question which modern peace !ovj ing nations have to face is not how ; militaristic or warlike spirit within i their own borders will affect these 'values,' but how failure on their part to resist the militarism of an unscrupulous neighbor will affect them.* ! Mr. Roosevelt referred to medieval Persia and Russia and to modern China, Korea and Armenia to show what happened to nations which applied j practically the theories of pacifists. "There are well meaning people," read the letter, "utterly incapable of i learning any lesson taught by history, . utterly incapable of understanding | aright what has gone on before their , i i. vn uiiiiKK pasi year or two, ; who nevertheless wish to turn this I country into an occidental-China? i the kind of China which every intellij gent Chinaman of the present day is seeking" to abolish. There are plenty of politicians, by no means as well meaning, who find it to their profit to ponder to the desire common to most men to live softly and easily and avoid risks and effort. Timid and lazy men, men absorbed in money-get ting, men absorbed in ease and luxury and all soft and slouthful people naturally liaij with delight anybody ^vho will give them high sounding names behind which to cloak their unwillingness to run risks or to toil and endure. Emotional philanthropists to whom thinking is a distasteful form of mental exercise enthusiastically champion this attitude." Discussing the mental confusion of the average citizen who thinks war in I itself is wrong", Mr. Roosevelt wrote I that war could be defined as the use of force between nations and that the question of whether it was right or wrong depended purely upon the purpose for which and the spirit in which ! it was waged. * "There are of course persons who believe all force is immoral and that it is immoral to resist wrong-doing by force," he added. "1 have never taken much interest in individuals who profess this kind of morality, and i 1 do not know the extent to which they practically apply it. Hut of course if the y are right in the theorv. then it is wrong for a man to endeavor by force to save his wife or sister or daughter from rape or other abuse, or to save his chihien from abduction and torture. It is a waste of time todiscuss with any man a position of such folly, wickedness and poltroonery." "At present in this world, and for the immediate future." wrote Col. I Iloosevelt in conclusion, "it is certain I that the only way successfully to obpose the might which is the servant of wrong is by means of the might which is the servant of right."
