THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1916. THE WEATHER. SECOND EDITION. TO BE LET. TO BE LET.

CORRESPONDENCE. Tha restriction on the ot paper has tut. avoidably reduced the space available lor letters to the. editor. Correspondents are-therefore requested to write' as briefly as possible.

THE LEGAL BIGHTS OF THE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR. To the Editor of the Uawhater Guardian. Sir, Will you allow me to draw attention to a-very important clause in the new Military Service Act with regard to powers of tribunals to grant exemption to conscientious objectors! Mr. Walter Long on behalf of the Government always contended that the first Military Service Act conferred that right upon the. tribunals, and this was further emphasised, in two.

of his circulars' of instructions to the Notwithstanding this, many tribunals have hitherto affirmed that they had power only to grant special kinds of exemption to conscientious objeetOTS, and could, not, or toot, ive them absolute exemption. The result is that a large, number "of conscientious objectors are being handed over to the military authorities. Tho Government has now; introduced the following clause into the'new Military Service Act, which makes the right, to grant absolute exemption indisputable section 4, subsection It is hereby declared that the power to grant epecial certificates of exemption in the case of an application on conscientious grounds, under subsection (3) of section 2 of the principal Act is additional to. and not in derogation of, the general power conferred by that Act to grant an absolute, conditional, or temporary certificate In 'such cases. As this may be the means of removing a great deal of confusion with regard to the treatment of conscientious objectors, it is important it should be widely known, not only to the objectors but to the tribunals.

May I also oomment upon the new Army Order? Those men who have so far been passed over to the military could with some measure of reason be penalised as disobedient soldiers, because they had no certificates prov ing that t.hv were ronscientious objectors. But now that they are to be transferred to civil inns, workshops, fairs, and whatever eke is con-imprisonment just because they are conscien-1 eid to the intercourse of life. SPECIAL MORNING EXPRESS BERLIN DELIGHTED. STORY OP VICTORY OVER SUPERIOR NUMBERS. (Press Association War Special.) Amsterdam, Friday.

A semi-official Berlin telegram says: The brilliant victory which our fleet lias gained over the British has caused the liveliest; joy and satisfaction among the whole German people. All the papers interpret these feel- intrs. Captain Persius writes in the "Berliner On the British side the losses were exceedingly hpairv? mrr eide exceedingly smalL and in proportion to the results obtained extraordinarily small. Our Hish Sea Fleet, in. open sea-Dame, without anv support from coast fortifications gave victorious battle to the mightiest fleet in the world.

The whole of Germany ttianKs tne Commander-in-Chief and all the commanders and crews. The Tageszeitung The greatest modern sea-battle was fought in this encounter in the North Sea. Taking into consideration the tremendous modem engines of battle and the fact that our bluejackets were confronted with the main force of the British battle fleet it surpasses vjiy much all othpr sea battles. at least since the invention of armour-plated ships. In this contest our fleet behaved with the greatest brilliaice.

The loss of three of the most powerful British Dreadnoughts is not set off by the German" losses moreover, tlua suc cess wias obtained against a considerable numerical superiority of ships. Our young navy showed a tremendous intrinsic superiority over the first and "largest fleet in the world. It has gained a most brilliant success, and has covered its flag with immortal glory. As showing the extent of the German vic tory, tho papers emphasise that the British have lost in larco battle units more than 100,000 tons, whereas the Germans have only lost 13,200 tons, apart irom the quality of the ships destroyed. Tho proportion of losses is the eame as regards small vessels.

GREAT JOY AND EXTRAORDINARY ENTHUSIASM. (Pbbss Association War Special.) Amsterdam, A telegram from Dresden 'states that the King of Saxony to-day-sent following telegram to the. Kaiser-: With great joy and extraordinary enthusiasm 1 have just learnt of the brilliant victory of our fleet oyer the considerably stronger' main part of the English 'battle fleet; is one of the finest days of this serious time for our Father-laud. Our fleet showed itself absolutely the equal of the army. KAISER TO VISIT HIS FLEET.

(Exchange Telegram.) Amsterdam; FRirJAt. -A Berlin telegram states, that the. Kaiser is expected at WilhelmsKaven' to-morrow to inspect the fleet' on, its return from the North Sea" battle. The "Times" says: We understand Rear Admiral the Hon. Horace Hood was flying his flag in the Invincible as second in command the battle-cruiser squadron.

FTJRY OF ITALIAN BATTLE. ENEMY ATTACKING COLUMNS DESTROYED. (Press Association "War Special.) Rome, Friday. To-day's official report says: The battle between the Adige and the Brenta becomes continuously more desperate, especially the Posina torrent and in the Sette Communi zone. On the Posina front repeated Austrian anacK3 on weonesaay- night were uirowii oacjs witn enormous enemy losses, our artillery completing the destruction of the assaulting columns.

On our left wing, between Posina and Frisine, yesterday the enemy made futile and bloody efforts to advance towards Monte Sniri. On the right wing, in the afternoon, strong hostile columns violently attacked our Seehe Schiri front, but after, fierce engagement were completely reputseo. FIVE MILES. FROM THE PLAIN Telegram, per Press, Association.) Friday. The official reports show: that the Austrian advance has not yet been brought to a stand still.

In the centre a fivemile march down the valley of the Astioo would bring them to open country. But.it is unlikely that these five miles will ever be won. The Austriaris aro firmly, held on the wings, and the Italians have been given time to repair, the breach fn their lines or, rather, to construct a new harrier. The chief anxiety is regarding artillery. The Italians were outgunned from the start.

They have lost many though they succeeded in destroying nearly" all before leaving them. ALL BELGIANS UP TO FORTY TO BE CALLED UP. Telegram, per Press Association.) Havhb Friday. The Belgian Ministerial Council met to-day and decided after a long discussion to call to the colours all fit men; including married men, up to 40 years cf BIG SHOP FIRE IN LONDON. The Exchange Telegraph learns that 2 15 this morning the London Fire Brigade were called to the ahop of Messrs.

Lipton situated over the tube station adjacent to Great Northern Bawtij'jtOgo-iAiiaM time the message was receivedxthe fire it was stated, spread dangeiTOBly. The whole of the Mock of buildings in. which the 'shop was situated was threatened. The "Times" says the deatiatbxford yesterday of the -Rev. -Henry.

to consideration. I refer to those whose livelihood so largely depends upon the Whitsuntide holiday season. For thousands ot boarding-house keepers, hotel proprietors, shopkeepers, and others a -work-a-day Whitsuntide will spell poverty, if not indeed ruin. By all means, let all those work who will in- any practical way contribute to the nation's -welfare, but let everything else take its -usual course. A.

"'5 London, E. The statement concerning the number of women workers who have entered the industrial" world during the war was. quoted by me from with a proviso it was from a newspaper, and I did not therefore guarantee' its accuracy. I am obliged Mr. Mallon for making the correction.

Separation Allowance Anomalies. Mr. P. Eobinson writes from Rusholme: Among the regulations for the issue of separation, allowances-in the army there is one (section paragraph 47) which operates very unfairly' and causes much needless suffering. It runs No person who is entitled to separation allowance as the wife or- child of a soldier can draw separation allowance 33 a dependant in addition." This means, in practice, that a.house-hold in which a father and three sons are serving may get from the paymaster consider ably less than, if three sons only were serving.

For three sons the mother may. get 12s. 6d. each, or in all 37s. 6d.

a week. But if the father, also is servine she can only set the sons allotments (3s. 6d. each from their pay) that is, a week, in addition to the allotment uuu separation allowances from tne latner, which need not come to more than 17s. 6d.

a week. So that, besides losing the-father's earnings, she may get 10s. a week less from tne paymaster than if the father were at home. It is difficult to understand why anomalies like this are allowed to continue bo long. The Early Christian Church and Conscientious Objectors.

The Rev. Robert Simpson writes from Whalley Range Mr. Geo, M. LI. Davies, in the.

letter you published on May 29, says "that the earlv Christian Church for the first three centuries took this attitude that of the conscientious objector there is ample evidence. There is clear evidence to the con trary. Tertullian was ore of the first great Latin Christian apologists. He was born at Carthage about 150 or 160 a.d., and died there about 220-240. a.d.

He wrote With you we lllllttUll, IIUS u-nr ri l-inf- ViA.if vnarUafo hot.nfi of tw. 'of MxiTta ofTii share in your employments, 'and contribute of our labour to your profit for the public service." ThlS IS Clear tn'r1ennj that- in 1io lntfar linlf nf the second century the Christian Church as a wuuie snared the service of the State as w.arnors, as in other ways. The Functions of the Pelham Committee. "Pelhamite" writes, in the course of a letter iTom Stockport The Pelham Oimmittfi seems, quite unfairly, I think, to have come in for a considerable amount of misunderstanding and unthinking criticism. It does not eeem to be generally recognised that ite functions are not ttiose of a tribunal.

It does not settle or consider appeals. It is an. advisory committee to the appeal tribunal, and as such has no power, for it can only advise the tribunal" and suggest alternative services in those cases re- terred to it. Surely it is the business of the appeal tribunal to inform the Pelham Committee of the case3 marked "Referred to Pelham Committee," yet most assuredly the tribunals many instances have proceeded no further. Failinc that, t.ho triKn-nni struct the appellant to write to the Pelham Com- iiiiiboe tiiinseii.

wnen I did so on mv own initiative the whole' matter was settled in less than a week. In fact, nothing could have been more prompt and courteous than the Pelham uuiiiuii.ii.1: ueiuitig wim me. Greek Fire. Mr. J.

E. Hickev writes, in tho course of a letter from Hyde: In your issue of May 17 Miss Ethel M. Scott asked for an explanation of Greek fire. Greek fire has alwava a perennial interest, and that is intensified at the outbreak of every war. A mixture of nit.

sulphur, and naphtha is trenerallv htUevrt have been its essential composition, but experi ments nave shown that more powerful effects and frightening displays are achieved when pitch is substituted for the nitre. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed, and brands of split canes, tow, or ropes of twisted esnarto grass or flax are soaked for twenty-four hours. These are then hurled in a burning state either through long tubes or tied to the ends of arrows. Gibbon thus describes its effects: "From this mixture, which produced a thick smoke and a loud explosion, proceeded a fierce and obstinate flame which not only rose in perpendicular ascent but likewise burnt with equal vehemence in descent or lateral progress; instead of being extinguished, it was nourished and quickened by the element of water and sand or vinegar were the only remedies that could damp the fury of this powerful agent which, was justly denominated by the Greeks the Liquid of the Maritime Fire He goes on to describe its use, for the annoyance of the enemy by sea and by land, fn battles and in sieges where it was employed nao cimcr Dourefi rrnm "iucio, or launcnea in red-hot balls of stone and iron, or darted in arrows and javelins twisted round with flax and tow which had deeply imbibed the inflammable oil. Brewer ascribes the invention of Greek fire to Callinicus of Heliopolis, a.d.

668, but there is little doubt that it was extensively used by the Tartars much earlier than this date, and probably the Greeks copied its use from them. BC ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. No. 38 Long promised that he would circularise the tribunals directing them that special consideration should be given to an applicant who was carrying on a business which was the means of livelihood of himself and not less than three other persons dependent on him, and which cannot be continued without his service.

Tbo leaders on both the employers' and trade union sides were yesterday attending to their official duties, but the definite arrangement was entered into that all the notices shall take effect on Saturday, June 10. There is a full working week in which to deal with the situation. The Government Productions Committee will naturally play the part which they have played since the beginning of the war in all industrial troubles. The work befoTe Sir George Askwith and the members of the Committee is not nearly so embarrassing as many of the disputes in other industries have been. The Master Cotton Spinners' Feder ation have already offered a conditional 5 per cent advance, which the operatives' organisations have declined.

The task of the arbitrators in these circumstances cannot be very difficult with the special powers of the Defence of the Realm Act as the lever. THE MARRIED CONSCRIPTS TO COME UP 200 A DAY. The proclamation calling up all the married men who come under the last Military Service Act appears at a first glance to throw upon the recruiting staffs an almost impossible task. The single compelled men, jt will be remembered, were called up in groups arranged according to age. Tho married men are all called up together, which suggests the possibility ot a rush, of men of volume enough to overwhelm the recruiting staffs, lhat is a false impression.

In Manchester the married men under the Act are to be dealt with in the same way as the Derby groups and the single unattested men. Each of them will receive a notice informing him of the time and place at which he must present himself, and the issue of these notices will be so arranged as to bring in a group of 200 per day after the 24th of June. This is as many as the medical boards in the city can deal with in ono day. The process will be continued until all tbe men liable to serve have been examined. The proclamation orders that if a man doe3 not Teceive notice before the 24th July he must report himself at the nearest recruiting office.

Congestion at the Tecruiting stations could only arise if the authorities failed to iesue the individual notices to all or to the bulk of the men before the 24th July. The staff at Manchester hope to be able to do that, though it means an immense amount of work to be done in a limited time. They are already engaged upon it. THE LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS' EXPLOIT.

If it is the decision of the Government and public opinion that these men should undergo long periods of imprisonment (thirty-seven are already doing two years) because' of their opinions they will not complain, but it is important we should know why the authorities are not prepared to extend to all such men the provisions of the new Act allowing for a rehearing of cases and authorising absolute exemption. If they are not prepared to con sider this, then these men will be imprisoned, possibly for the duration of the war, just because they appeared before tribunals wjhich at that time denied their right to grant a form of exemption which the new bill makes statutory.

70, Overstrand Mansions, Prince of Wales Road, Battersea, London, S.W. To the Editor of ihe Slanehester Guardian. Sir, Many of your readers know of good men who are undergoing1 various kinds of punishment because the civil courts. seem unable, or unwilling, to deal sensibly with the genuine conscientious objector to participation in war. It is well understood that the law is necessary, and that it must not be lightly disregarded; but it is not required that the law be vindictive, inflicting punishment for the sake of punishment, insisting on its due without any kind of discrimination, and having no regard to the circumstanced which compel men to break a particular law.

Under the present system a man, for having committed what may be called a technical offence against an Act to enforce military service, is brought before a civil court, summarily fined, and handed over to be dealt with by the very military authority whose authority it is he denies. Men of the highest character, whose life-long adherence to the principles which now bring them into conflict with military requirements could bo vouched for on the testimony of honourable men, and about whom it is known to many, and might be ascertained by all, that they will resist to the death Tather than be false to their belief by taking any part in war these men must perforce go through the mill of suffering in order to give the required prodf of their sincerity. It ought not to be impossible for a court of summary jurisdiction to satisfy itself of the genuineness of such men, and, acting upon this knowledge, to dismiss the case. Nothing is really gained by the TMinishment of sincere men: on the con trary, the punishment has a way of recoiling on inose.wuu oucure iib own majesty, the law should respect genuine men, an1 decide that thev are best left alone': these. too, in their own way, have a great function in the State, in that to them is assigned the duty of keeping the spiritual fires burning in tbe hope of a belter day dawning," as G.

To the Editor of the Manchetter Sir, The speeches of the German Chancellor on April 5 and the British Prime Minister on April 10, read in conjunction with Sir Edward Grey's recent statement to the Chicago Daily News," have created a new situation as between Britain and Germany.

It may be said that the matter is one of words only, but much depends upon words conditions like the present. So far as words go, there is now nothing incom patible in the aims of the two parties, either as regards the desire for a lasting peace or as re. gards the speciho problems referred to. The outstanding question therefore is how far these words correspond to realities. Some contend that tne German unanceiior's do not.

What evidence have we on this point? We have first of all the unquestioned fact that ho is anxious for negotiation, though he is aware tnat tne Ames- terms involve the aban- i a. aomnem oi aii aggressive ueiman aims. Then we have the probability that, in accordance with the usual practice of statesmen in such circumstances, ne nas put forward marim demands, which he would abate in the discussion. This probability is confirmed by various indications. Vorwarts," the leading nn i 1 "001x1 nn.raf.
