LONDON. October is. la th- Hoao of Commons today the. First Lord of the Treasury and Government bidr Arthur J. Halfotir. brought In th fol lowing message from the Queen: "The state of affairs in Africa hav ing constituted. In the opinion of her -Majesty, a case of emergency within the meaning of the act of Parliament, her Majesty deems it proper to provide additional means for military service. She has. therefore, thought it right to communicate to the Iiouse that her Majesty is. by proclamation, about to order the embodiment of the militia and to call out the militia n-s-rve force, or such part mereof as her Ma jesty may think necessary fo;- perma nent service." The tailing out. of the militia t.' the military reserves has occasioned widespread wonderment. Other stories of preparations against continental combinations are revived. It is freely rumored that the (lovernment is deter mined to demonstrate to Europe that the Rritish army is no: a negligible quantity. The Speaker read the Queen's speech. shortly after which Sir Alexander Pul ler Acland Hood. Conservative member for West Somerset, rose to move the address in reply. Dwelling upon the horrors of war he declared that war should not be undertaken except from absolute necessity, but that in this case, all peaceable means having fail ed, war had become necessary "to es tablish equal rights for the white race in South Africa and to remove the grievances of the Outlanders." Clement Royds. Conservative mem ber for Hochdale. seconded the address. Sir Henry Campbell-Hannerman. Liberal leader in the House of Com mons, who followed Mr. Royd. said Parliament had been summoned to give its approval to the early steps of war. Never had the House met In cir cumstances more serious or amid con ditions engaging to a greater degree the profound interest of the British people. The demands made by the Government of the Soutu African re public were such as to make it impos sible for the Govern mem or any self- respecting country ever to take them into consideration. "Actual hostilities have commenced," said Sir Henry. and an active aggros sion has been committed which It Is the nlain duty of our Ministers, of Par liament and of the people to resist. There will be no disposition on the part of this House-to place any obsta cle in the way of granting such sup plies and such powers to the crown as may be necessary to secure the rapid and effective prosecution of a war com menced to vindicate our rights. The campaign should be vigorously and promptly prosecuted ami nothing ne cessary for that purpose saould be re fused by the House of Commons." Talks of I)oans Hacktuhc KiJncy PilN.
