SALVATION ARMY IN INDIA,

LONDON, December 2nd. The Local Government Board has cir- cularised the Military Tribunals that the Government has decided that every man under 26 is more valuablo to the forces than in civil employment, and therefore they must not be exempted unless engaged on work which is essentially of national importance. This policy does not, for the moment, apply to agriculture which is being specially considered, but the cir cular adds that the demand for eligible- men above 28 is so great that exemption is unjustified unless on the strongest grounds.

The Speaker now ruled an instruction to this effect out of order, and the House was not long in showing that it had no intention of going on with the Bill until it had decided who were to be placed. on the Register.

After Mr. Long bad admitted that the Bill was a rough-and-ready attempt to frame an incomplete register, Sir Edward Carson drew cheers from all parts of the House by declaring that the Bill had little interest for anyone after the Speaker's ruling. He could not under stand why the House should go on with. - the Bill if nothing was to be done for the soldier and sailer fighting`at the front. He laid the chief blame for the impse on the Government, and insisted that members were not allowed to raiso

this question; because Ministers were not agrrell whether soldiers und sailors ought to have the vote. As for the present" Register, it was so old that members had little or no authority to represent the country.

Not a single member rose to urge the Government to go on with the Bill. down, however, urged them to adjourn the crbate until the question of soldiers! rotes had been settled one way or the other. As the Government were clearly -getting into difficulties · thes Prime Minister and Mr. Bonar Law came to the help of Mr. Long, and there was a hurried

consultation. Sir Edward Carson suggested that the Government should out the knot by bringing in another Bilt on which the question of soldiers? vines gould be raised. Mr. Asquith was unwilling at first to abandon the Committee stage of the Register Bill, He announced that the Government wers most anxious to secure a decision of the Honee on the question which Sir Edward Carson had raised, and expressed his readiness to give the necessary oppor tunity, either on a motion or on a separate Bill. Meanwhile, he asked men- hors to go on with the Register Bill, but the Itouse was in no mood to do this, and in the end the Prime Minister had to give way,
