Territorials To Be Altered
London, June 28.
Mr. J. J. Lawson, War Secretary, told the House of Commons he was not in a position to say whether some form of conscription would con- tinue as part of Britain's peacetime army or ganisation.

Herford, June 28.
The official British Zone Review said in an article today that "the sooner the Germans adminis- ter their country themselves the better" and called upon military government officers to step up their policy of indirect control. Some officers interpreted the article to mean that a susbtantial number of British troops may be withdrawn earlier than had been expected but no dates were suggested.

Seattle, June 28.
A heated debate between the United Kingdom. und Unitei States delegates at an all-nigh: session of the Work Macithine Conference Wages and Hours Committee ended early today in the defeat of an American proposal for a flat eight hour day.
