CONSUMPTION is
NEAR IN ENGLAND
Predicted Men VIII Be Called From
Farms, Leaving Women to Per-
form Their Labor.

London, Aug. 26,-Conscription was
foreshadowed by the earl Of Selborne,
president of the board of agriculture,
in an address this afternoon TO a dep
utation of agricultural land owners.
Many more men have got to join
the army, whether voluntarily or com
pulsory." said the earl. Il forecast
that during the next year men will be
taken from districts and farms whence
hitherto they have not come.
What I shall aim al is to leave the
farmer his foreman, stockman, cart
ers and sheep herders, but the rest Of
the work viii have to be done by wo-
men or men not hitherto engaged in
agriculture.
The speaker stated that the navy
had the submarine menace well in
hand
The earl of SeIborne's statement
that the navy now has the submarine
menace well in hand lends color to
recent unofficial reports that the Brit
ish OF late months captured very
large number of these submersible
vessels and that many others have
been sunk.

ment adds, then gave up the the fort
Tess.
The Russian fortress Of Brest-Li-
tovsk. which has just Capitulated to
the Austro-German forces. had been
considered one Of the strongest fort
resses in Europe and was the south
ern base of the second Russian line of
defenses TO which the armies Of Grand
Duke Nicholas retreated after the fall
of Warsaw The citadel is situated
on the Bug river and at the junction of
several railways. 131 miles south of
Gr0dno ard 130 miles due east of the
Polish capital
The storming Of Brest-Litoysk by the
Teutonic forces probably is the most
important military achievement since
the fall of Warsaw, three weeks ago
today. The town, which had a p0puia-
tiOn of about 10000 was one Of the
most important depots for, and the dis
trihuting point Of military supplies
near the western frontiers Of Russia
proper. The fortress was rated by
military critics as much more i'm
portaBt strategic point than was War
saw.
Brest-Litovsk is situated at the june
ton of the Bug and AIukhovets rivers
and the fortress Of the city was built
at the point Of confluence 1t lies on
the river bank Of the Bug where the
river turns from the north to the
northeast. Intersection here are rail
ways from Odessa. Kiev. Moscow. War
saw. Walna and East Prussia.
Must Abandon Second Line.
st-Litovsk. according to infor-
nation compiled by the National Geo
graphic society, contained one of the
oldest important fOrtresses in northern
Europe The older fortiications we're
erected about one mile east Of Brest-
Litovsk and had a circumference of
four miles. The field works were kept
up TO date and everything possible had
been done by Russia, il was said to
make them unconquerable. Brest-
Litoysk was generally regarded in
Russia as the most powerful individ-
ual stronghold in the empire.
The Capitulation of BresJ-Litovsk
means, in the opinion of military OBJ
servers, that the Russians viii be
forced 10 abandon their second defense
line which extended from Brest-Li-
tovsk northward to the Baltic base of
Riga.
The third Russian line Of defense
runs through the middle Of the country
known as White Russia. The line be
gins on the north at Riga. on the Bal
tic and follows the Dvina river to
Duenaburg, then turns south and fol-
lows the railroad through wilma. Ida,
Baranovichi. The line then runs
through tractIess swamps of Pinsk and
the Pripet river to Rovno, which lies
120 miles northeast OF the Galician
capital, Lemburg
