of the left wing of the combined legion of the
Austro- Germans near Krasnik, the vast Ger
man strength has been shifted northward to
the Warsaw front, the Galician region having
been apparently abandoned to the Austrians
under General Won Boohm Ermolli. The
Austro-G Germans have begun a new offensive
in force near the Przasnysz Bobr and OIysz
section. The frmness of the Russian stand
has stimulated the spirits of the army and
people, and Russian military observers now
predict that the o-Hungarians will
soon be expelled from Galicia. The Rus
SLAMS are pushing their attacks near Lublin
with great determination, and foot-to-foot
fighting is practically uninterrupted day and
night. According to Petrograd the Austro-
Germans continue to retreat, but they con-
test every inch of ground as they retire.
More battles have been fought in France,
the offensive having been taken at some
points by the Allies and at others by the
Germans. Berlin says the Germans have
advanced in the Champagne district and the
forest of LIE Pr8tre, and that almost l 800
prisoners, 3 cannon, IL ~machine-guns and
IS mine throwers have been captured be-
tween the Meuse and the Moselle. French
airmen bombarded the military barracks at
Norroy and the railroad stations at ArnAville
and Bayonville, dropping u shells and 1,O00
steel arrows,
Sharp fighting continues in the italian
theatre, where the Austrians are apparently
on the offensive. Rome reports that all as
suults have been repuIsed, while Vienna says
that isolated attacks by the Italians have
been beaten back.
Dispatches from Rome state that the
Government is making extensive preparn-
tions to meet attacks by ZeppeIins, which,
it is reported, are being taken to the AustrI-
an Adriatic coast for o raid on the Italian
capital.
Lord Kitchener, IN initiating a new re-
cruiting campaign, addressed a meeting
at the Guildhall, ut which the Lord
Mayor presided. TerritoriaIs lined the route
and the enthusiasm rivalled anything dur
ing the war, demonstrating the popu-
lar confidence under the conditions ex-
planned below He praised the Indians,
Canadians, New Zealanders, and Australians
and declared that In each of these Dominions
and the Union of South Africa preparations
were being made for a larger measure of
assistance to the Empire which would de-
velop it's utmost resources, There was vital
need for men to fill our armies, and bis pre-
dictions of a long and hard war were being
fulfilled. The period had now arrived when
it was unnecessary to keep soldiers from the
field from lack of arms, and all recruits could
now be equipped. The call for men was
now unlimited, and he asked every Briton to
search his conscience to learn if be had done
all he could. In conclusion, he declared
that the re c~ruitiog situation was immeasura-
bly, better than ten months ago, but that the
military position to-day was as serious as
then.
Sir Edward Carson said: "Lord Kitchener
possesses the absolute confidence of every
colleague in the Cabinet and unfinching de-
votion of a grateful nation and no poorer
service can be rendered to the country than
to attempt to shake the confidence of the
nation in him. Voluntary recruiting is now
on it's trial and without doubt if it fails we
shall apply CONSUMPTION"
Mr.. Lloyd George has publicly contradict
ed a speech by Lord Haldane in which the
latter declared that the Munitions Commit
tee of the Cabinet, including Lord Kitchener
and Mr.. Lloyd George, were responsible for
much that was criticised in the administra-
ton of General Sir S. Won Donop, Master
General of the Ordnance.
The "Daily Chronicle says that if Gene
raj Won Donop resigns Lord Kitchener will
resign, and also that if General Won Donop
does not resign Mr.. Lloyd George will resign.
In the House of Commons, Mr.. Dalziel
gave notice that he would ask a question re-
garding Lord Haldane's disclosures of the
Munitions Committee business and his praise
of General Won Donop. He was followed by
