For compulsory service--Curzon, Lansdowne, Lloyd Geerge, Churchill, Bonar Law, Long, Chamberlain, Sel- bourne and Carson. Against compulsion -- Asquith, Grey, Balfour, Crewe, Buckmaster, McKenna, Simon, Runciman, Birrell, | Wood, Hargourt and Henderson. It is untierstood that Mr. Bonar Law, Mr. Long and Mr. Chamber- lain are not inclined to press for the compulsory policy if it appears like- ly.to lead to a schism in the Govern ment. Lord Kitchener, it is said, | considers that at the present moment | there is no need for compulsory mili- tary service.

The appointment of Admiral Sir Percy Scott, England's greatest au- thority on naval gunnery, to take charge of the defences of Londen against Zeppelin raids, is only one of the features of the new "anti-Zep pelin programme."
