London, aJn. 7.—The question on
every tongue at the political rendez-
vous clubs last night was,Whether the
momentous events of the day had
brought a general election in sight.
An appeal to the country and ;i break-
up of both the Coalition government
and the Labor party are contingencies
of the near future, and while the gov-
ernment has secured what in ordinary
circumstances would bo regarded as
a satisfactory majority, 298, for its
bill, the defection of a large section
of the Labor party, the loss of four
members of the government admitted-
ly places the government in a critical
position, and many doubts are expres-
sed that it will succeed in weathering
the storm.
Amid scenes of wild enthusiasm the
House of Commons passed the first
reading of the government bill for
compulsory military service by the
decisive vote of 40,1 to 105. The vote
came shortly before midnight, with
the galleries again packed, every seat
on the floor of the house occupied, the
ministerial benches filled and an air
of eager expectancy prevailing. The
events of the day increased the ten-
sion to a high pitch, notably the ac-
tion of the Labor congress In con-
demning compulsory service and the
quick sequel of the retirement of three
Labor members of the ministry.
The three men who retired arej Ar-
thur Henderson, president of the
board of edueattyn and leader of the
Labor party in the House of Com-
mons; Williatri Brace, parliamentary
undersecretary for home affairs, and
rge FT. Roberts, lord conimisston-
of the treasury, also T^abor party
^leaders.
Throughout these developments out-
side of parliament, the debate in the
House had forged steadily ahead, but
had been left largely to lesser figures.
It was reserved for A. J. Balfour, first
lord of the admiralty, to close the de-
bate in behalf of the government, and
he did It in a persuasive appeal of
half an hour which roused the lag-
ging spirits of the advocates of the bill
and turned the tide of adversity which
had been running steadily against the
measure.
“Let this vote tonight show that w
are a united people," was his elosin
appeal. “Do not let us give a false
impression to the world in the mom-
ent of the country’s greatest emer-
gency we are divided one against an
other. Abandon your abstract theo
ries and remember we are dealing
with stern realities which call for
great sacrifices,

ion.

Youngstown, Ohio, Jan. 8.—After a
night of looting and arson at the hands
of u drunken mob the situation in East
Youngstown was gradually being got-
ten under control early today, but
the authorities expressed fear there
would be another outbreak.
Tho lire, which had destroyed be-
tween forty and fifty buildings, was
still raging, but the streets have been
partly cleared ot rioters and the fire
department had been brought from
Youngstown to combat the flames.
The situation is tense, however, and
less.
gl,0o0,0#0. Three companies of mili-
tia have arrived and now maintain
guard. The saloons here are closed.
The trouble began late yesterday
when the day shift at the steel mill
quit and a crowd of 200 men and wo-
men attacked the mill guards. More
than 300 struck yesterday for increas-
ed wages.
After the mob had made its attack,
retreated and reformed, they com-
menced burning and looting. Rioting
lasted most all of last night. Saloons
were entered and their wares confis-
cated, the men and women in a drun-
ken frenzy scooping up liquor in their
hands from whiskey barrels, where
cups were unavailable.
The fire spread rapidly in the strong
wind. The mob’s drunken frenzy was
great and whiskey barrels were plac-
ed in the street for free consumption
Clothing stores were looted and the
strikers changed old clothes for new
in the middle of the streets, where
the flames made it light as day.
The streets finally were cleared, al-
lowing Cie Youngstown fire depart-
ment to act to the flames. When the
rioters were rounded up, the East
Youngstown jail was overflowing and
one hundred were brought here
Tho wreck of the mob was complete
and the village is almost in ruins.

London, Jan. 6.—General Ian Ham-
ilton’s report on the British opera-
tions on the Gallipili Peninsula has
been published in the official Gazette
It tells the story of the fighting on the
peninsula from the beginning of May
to the middle of October.
Probably no more important con-
tribution to the history of the pres
ent war has yet been made. The re-
port throws light on the landing at
Anzac Cove and Sulva Bay Au? 7,
which has been the subject of strong
attacks upon the military administra-
tion of the Goverment. the whole op
erations requiring the combined ae
tion of the army and navy.
The handling of the masses of
troops within a limited area probably
was the most complicated ever under-
taken and military men are not sur-
prised that some important details
failed to work out as planned
The Sulva Bay landing failed to ac
complish its object the report shows,
partly because the force consisted
largely of untried troops under Gen-
erals inexperienced in the new- war-
fare, and partly through the failure
of the water supply. The suffering
of-the troops for lack of water make
painful reading.
General Hamilton bestows the high-
est possible praise upon the bravery
of the men. He believes that after
the middle of August the Turks out-
numbered the British and had plenty
of fresh soldiers and munitions, while
the British Government was unable
to furnish him with the reinforce-
ments he wanted.
The General strongly opposed the
abandonment of any of the bases held
by the British troops.
The most stirring passages of the
document describe the ill-fated land-
ing at Sulva Bay and Anzac early in
August for securing command of the
heights on the middle of the penin-
sula and cutting off from their base
the Turkish forces at the lower ex-
tremity where the entente allied
armies made their first landing.
This operation began on Aug. 4.
The climax was reached at daybreak
on the 10th, when the Turks made a
grand attack from the summit of
Chunnuk Bair Hill upon a short front
held by two battalions of the Sixth
Wiltshire regiments, which General
Hamilton describes as weakened in
numbers, through not in spirit.
“First, our men wer“ shelled by
every enemy gun." he says "then as-
saulted by a huge column consisting
of a full division plus three battalions.
The North Imncashire men were
simply overwhelmed in their shallow
trenches by sheer weight of numbers,
while the Wiltshlres. who were caught
out in the open, were literally almost
annihilated.
"The ponderous mass of the enemy
swept over the crest and swarmed
round the Hampshires and General
Baldwin’s brigade, which had to give
ground and were only extricated with
great difficulty and very heavy losses
"Now it was ou rturn. The war-
ships and the New Zealand and Aus-
tralian artillery, an Indian mountain
artillery brigade and the Sixty-Ninth
Brigade. Royal Field Artillery, were
getting the chance of a lifetime. As
successive solid lines of Turks topped
the crest of the ridge gaps were torn
through their formation and an iron
rain fell on them as they tried to re-
form in the gullies
"Not only here did the Turks pay
dearly for their recapture of the vital
crest. Enemy reinforcements, onee
they were over the crest, became ex-
posed not only to the full blast of the
guns, naval and military, but a battery
of ten New Zealand machine guns
which played upon their serried ranks
at clobe range until their barrels
were red hot.
■Enormous losses were inflicted and
of the swarms which had once fairly
crossed the crest line only a handful
ever straggled back.
”.\t the same time strong forces of
the enemy were hurled against the
spurs to the northeast, where there
arose a conflict so deadly that it may
be considered the climax of four days
fighting for the ridge. Generals fought

Here Generals Cayley, Baldwin and
Cooper and all their gallant men
achieved great glory. On this bloody
field fell Brigadier General Baldwin,
who earned his first laurels on Cae-
sar's camp at Ladysmith. There, too,
fell Brigadier General Cooper badly
wounded.
“Toward this supreme struggle the
last two battalions from the general
reserve were now hurried, but by 10
in the morning the effort of the enemy
was spent. Soon their shattered rem-
nants began to trickle back, leaving
a track of corpses behind them. By
night, except for prisoners or wound-
ed, no live Turk was left upon our
side of the slope."
Two lesser attacks were made by
the Turks the same day. General
Hamilton continues:
By evening the total casualties of
General Birdwood’s force had reached
12,000 and included a very large pro-
portion of officers. The thirteenth
division of the new army under Major
General Shaw had alone lost 6,000 out
of a grand total of 10,500. The War-
wicks and Worcesters had lost liter-
ally every single officer.
The old German notion that no
united stand can survive the loss of
more than 25 per cent of the effective#
has been completely falsified. The
thirteenth division had lost more than
twice that and in spirit were game for
as much more fighting as might be
required.”
The British had held all they gain-
ed except two important salients, one
hill, momentarily carried by the
Gurkhas and the position on Chunnuk
Bair, which had been retained forty-
eight hours.
