SECRET WAR BOOK IS READY Britain's Scheme to Raise Armed Forces of 5,000,000 Complete Plan Of Imperial Defence

FILED away in a leather-covered book that now reposes in a locked safe at the offices of the, Committee of Imperial Defence is a complete scheme of conscription, ready to bo brought into operation on the day that war is declared.

It will never be operated in peace time, but the wartime scheme is there in full, down to the smallest detail,

It is complete even to the draft of a short Parliamentary

Bill to give legislative effect to conscription.

The scheme detailed in the book provides for the raising of an Army, Navy, and Air Force up to 5,000,000 strong, to be mobilised in instalments, according to requirements.'

It also provides for the mobilisation of the Industrial popu- lation, so that those who stay behind and are engaged on muni tions shall not earn 10 times as much as the soldier, as was the case in the last war.

Single Men Conscripted First,

In the schedules to the scheme, the whole population is classified in categories, in order of priority for mobilisation.

First, I la luid down that single men shall be mobilised before the married men are called on.

Then there are various categories of Industrial workers, who will be "key men" in the work of providing munitions and supplies and main- taining essential transport.

аго

They will be held back and only released gradually as their places taken by

by men over 40, or by women.

These provisionally exempted categories include: Conl miners, henvy Iron and steel workers, railway locomotive drivers, seamen, agricultural workers (except the young men), engineers, shipbuilders, and a certain number of building trade workers.

On the other hand, the general classes of workers, whose work is not urgently essential to the maintenance of supplies, will be called up early.

They include clerks, shop, nssts- tanta, navvies, textile operatives, general factory workers, municipal those employees, musicians, and engaged in the luxury and sports trudes.

All the workers who are exempted from active military service to work on munitions-either temporarily or permanently will be enrolled in Labour battalions, and paid on basis omillar to that for tie men who are serving with combatant units.

New Shock for

The main method is to raise the signal input to the receiver by an "herial array," which is an arrange- ment of reflectors and directors.
