COMPULSORY SERVICE.

THE QUESTION AGAIN RÄISED.

Londen, July 90. Prior to the close of the House of Commons, c. Liberal member, Captain Guest, raised the question of compulsory service which lie said, was the only way to win the war quickly.

Mr. Josiah Wedgwood. Mr. Amery and Mr. Ellis Grifth strongly up... parted the demand.

The Labour member, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Llowellyn Willians: denied that any cass had been made for compulsion.

Mr. Tonrant, Parliamentary Under-Sucratary to the War office, raplying. said it was doubtful whether the war would have been ià a differens position if we had more troops in the held. Whether compulsion, was desirable or got remained to be seen. He did not wish to say anything to lose the door or to embarrass the Government in taking any action which was necessary for the successful conclusion of the war, which the Government would pursue to the last man, to the last shilling and to the last drop of blood,

ON THE EASTERN FRONT.

THE STRUGGLE FOR WARSAW.

LONDON, July 28.

A Petrograd tologram sayi:-The withdrawal of the Russians and the re-disposition of their forces, by the abandonment of deep salients, have shortened the Russian front during the past fortnight to about 700 miles, on reneliorer 500 of which tightig is proceeding.

The larghat forces are engaged against General von Mackenset'f'army un the front south of Lublin, but the situation shows signs of growing grave on the Narew front, while the advance of a large German force on a forty mile front, between Keidsay and Ponievitz, indicates that a great attack is develop- ing from the Baltic provinces, possibly aiming at getting behind the Neimen defences. This movement is combined with attacks from the south west upon the appronchas to the fortress of Korno.

Altogether it is believed that the German northern armies are advancing out 10 miles front between the Kavre fortress and Drinah, otherwise

Apparently the Germans are impatient at General von Mackenson's slow progress against the formidable Russian resistance and are now making a fresh affort to cut of Warsaw's communications from the north.

GERMANS DRIVEN BACK.

LONDON, July 26.

The Russians are evidently more than holding their own in the present phase of the battle for Warsaw, says a tologram from Amsterdam.

Tonight's Berlin comunique is brief, but it admits heavy Russian attacks on the Narew front; also before Warsaw itself.

The Germans claim some 2,000 prisonere, but the clafin is unconvincing having regard to the wide front where the Russians are attacking.

Undoubtedly the fiercest engagement is in the region of Hoskar where the lighting continues unabated.

The coatiqué refers to a village some miles westward of Blouis. It is thus evident that the Germans have been driven back a big distance.

The communi says the situation on the Lublin and Cholm fronts is nchanged.
