In offering the bill tho I'rlmo Minister

men' of mllltnry ngc.
"Tho results of tho Derby recruiting
campaign show that tho cnBo for general

The announcement was regarded ns nn
admission that tho Cabinet had reached
a tompromlso on tho conscription ques

Lloyd-George and other strong conscrip
tion advocates for a measure of far
reaching effect. It Is understood Asqulth

This Is the first time slnco tho days of

Mayor Smith today conferred with other
city oftlcinls In regnrd to a city loan for
permanent Improvements. After the
meeting he announced that no loan bill
would bo Introduced In Councils this
week.
"I Intend to mnkc haste slowly In this

say now when tho bill will bo Introduced.
Hut I did lenrn In the conference thnt the
city would by September bo J1.60O.O0O be

This lonn must bo paid back In tho

It was reported about City Hall that

drawn from Councils In tho closing days
of tho last administration, probably would

Tho Slayor said lie had not determined
on tho slzo of tho amount to bo borrowed

LOANS CAUSE PAUSE.
Tho question of loans Is Intimately re
lated to the question of tho city's current
revenue, ns sinking fund nnd Interest
charges opcrato against this revenue. It
Is for this reason that tho official! bcllovo
they muit go slow about tho business of
tying the city to a program which might
entail difficulties In meeting responslvlll

future. Tlio' transit and port loans nro
on 50-ycar bonds, and their Interest

Await Concerted Offensive

dent of Defeating It
NO SIGNS OP PEACE
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BUDAPEST. Jan. B.
A great offenstvo movement by tho
Allies on all fronts Is expected by Hun
garian officials this spring. They nro
certain It will meet with defeat.
"Tho Allies fall to take Into account our
mllltnry positions," Count Julius An
drassy, Hungarian parliamentary leader,
declared. "Vo aro so situated now that
wo can help eaclr otlier, J We can send
men and resources to any front at any'
time. We- can concentrnte-rSomethluB the
enemy cannot do. This, I bellero makes
our victory certain because It over
balares the resources of. our opponents.
The situation cannot bo changed by an
Entente offensive this spring."
Contrary to the general opinion In Ber
lin, Hungarian officials bcllevo there will
bo no early peace.
"I think this Is going to be a long,
long war," said Count Andrnssy. "There
Is at present no chnnca of peace In
sight. We could muko penco next week,
but the Allies do not destro It: they
nre not yet convinced of our superiority.
Bui tho uholo world Is becoming hyster
ical. Kvcn neutral Powers nro losing
patience. It's a shame far humanity that
wo can't make pence now."
Count AndrasBy expressed admiration
for the manner In which King Constan
tino of Greece has dealt with diplomats
on both sides, nnd spoko of the possi
bilities of an invasion or Egypt.
"I admire the way the King of Greece
Is handling the sltiintlon." he said. "He
is clever and playing politics neither for
us nor for the Allies, but for Greece He
will keop Greece neutrnl nnd save her
from tho disaster that wrecked Belgium
and Serbia. Greece will surely Increase
her territory without sacrificing men and
money nnd risking her future. No one
can say King Constantino Is traitorous.
Ho Is thoroughly honest.
"I see by press dispatches that the Eng
lish have been forced to withdraw from
their strongest line near Bagdad, The line
probably will remain where it is now
until the Turks bring up reinforcements.
Then this lino will be taken; the British
will lose what they now hold In Mesopo
tamia and presently the Suez Canal will
be In danger."
bitter fight between Pnrose and antl
Penrose Congressmen, Representative
George S. Graham, of Philadelphia,
sought to head off the Impending clash
by moving that the meeting adjourn His
motion was made just as soon as Repre
sentative Thomas Butler, of West
Chester, had called the meeting to order.
"There has been a great deal of elec
tioneering going on and there Is Intense
feellotr over this contest," said Mr.
Graham. "In view of what is before us
in Congress wo ought to have harmon
ious action. Election at this time would
be fraught with serious danger of caus
ing wounds which would take some time
to heal."
When Mr, Graham concluded his argu
ment In support of his plan, Mr, Butler
asked:
"Is there anybody else who wants to
speak as wisely?"
Representative William W. Grlest. of
Lancaster, who followed Mr. Graham,
favored postponement of the election un
til a later' date. ."I have a very great
Interest In the success of the Republi
can party," said (Mr. Grlest. "I fear
the acrimony that has resulted In this
contest over nothing Is fraught with
danger and may bring results that none
of us desire.'
FOCHT THROWS A BOMB.
Representative Benjamin K. Focht, of
Lewisburg, threw a bomb Into the plans
of the pacifists. He denounced what he
called Vare'a "dictation" and added:
"I think this matter ought to be settled
here and settled now, Jt Is not In the
heart of either of the candidates to show
any reaeutmetit toward any Congressman
because of his selection. The time comes
when men must show themselves. Pol
