WORKERS AND SHOPPERS
[New York's Fifth avenue merchants
are in a bad way. Besides the war and'
consequent “hard times" they have an ‘
other grieiance. it seems that when'

manufacturers and other workaday in-P

hard upon the new shopping district.
Their operatives, out for a few minutes‘
airing at noon, naturally flock to the
beautiful avenue and, the streets adjoin
ing, looking in the windows watching
the well-dressed crowds and in other
ways enjoying themselves as other
other Americans are wont to do on the
famous thoroughfare. I
But, these workers are most “unde-
tsirable.” Says the New York Times:
f‘Mauy of these. workers are, unkempt
and their conduct is not such as to

LON DON, May 6.—(Correspondeuce
of The Associated ijress) Premier As-
quith's statement that the government
is perfectly ”tinned with the recruit-
ing for the new army has arbused the
anger of the extreme conservatives,
who have long pleaded for the arm-
scrtpt system and thought ~the. war
would/now force it on the country. But
the gofernment, e‘vidently with the
support of the great mass of the peo-
ple. intends to stick to the volunteer
system.
in an editorial headed, “The Worst
Form of Conscription," the Express at-
tacks Asqpith' a position.
“The point which is always ignored; ..
says the express. “is that a universal
obligation to serve would prevent the
best elements in the nation bearing
the burden that ought to fall equally
on all and would prevent the indif-
ferent and the slackers from escaping
service altogether. Moreover. even
if such a system gave the government
many more men than it needs, it
would enable the authorities to make
a selection that would be beneficial to
the whole country, taking the unmns
riod before the married, and leaving
