Immediately after the anniversary ser
vices In St Pauls. Both Earl kitchener
and Premier Asquith were present
and, although there IL no official IN
formation respecting the subjects dis
cussed, II is known that the question
of compulsory service was again
threshed out and this time with re-
suit that virtually dispels all doubt
about the governments intentions.
II is. however, absolutely incorrect
as asserted by a section OF the press
which advocates CONSUMPTION, that the
voluntary system has been failure
On the contrary. that system has
proved most successful. 1t has pro-
duced all that was ever expected oil
it, and it ia even correct to say thai
il has come up to the most sanguine
expectations of the ministers. Never

system has reached the limit of its
possibilities for raising new armies
