THE QUESTION OF CONSCRIPTION,

September 18, 3.35 a.m. Enquiries in official quarters indicate that the reports as to a grave crisis in the Cabinet, on the subject of compulsory service, must be taken with reserve.

Enemy detachments have reached the railway at various points on the left of the Vilia River, and there have been engagements with strong cavalry forces at many points in this region. The Russians scored further suc- ceases in the southern theatre, especially during the fight for the pos session of Deraino, The Russiane, entering the town, hustled the enomy out to a neighbouring village, which was stormed, the Bas Bians capturing 2,000 prisoners, while, though the Russian counter- attack on the frontier village of Gutova, south-west of Vishnevatz, failed to occupy the village, it resulted in the capture of 582 prisoners, and soother 814 prisoners were taken during the fight on the Strypa River. North of Batchany the enemy was dislodged in adjacent villages, and fled in disorder. The communique concluden by saying that the "boldness of our troops on the whole front southwards of Rovno is gucoessfully checking the enemy's counter- attacks, which were made in great strength.”
