London, Oct. 4th-When Parliament reas'
sembles next week, the Government will
be confronted with new embarrassing pro-
posals for the application OF consumption
to Ireland. The Times and other news
papers recently have been conducting a
strong campaign with this object in view
and the decisions announced today by
the man power distribution board and
by General Sir w. Robertson that
more men are urgently needed, will, it
is believed, strengthen the hands Of the
agitators who have been joined by Sir Ed
ward Carson, Sir Edward asserts that the
situation is such that without conscriplion in
Ireland, it will be impossible to even main
tain the Irish regiments at the front in their
proper strength. He contends that Ireland
could provide another half million men Of
military age and asks what the colonies
which have made sacrifices for the Empire
will think of the Sinking of Il eland. While
most of the responsible politicians are a9feed
that it would be inexpedient to attempt to
apply compulsion to Ireland while Home
Rule is withheld from it undoubtedly in the
present phase of the European wal, those
who are demanding CONSUMPTION hold a
strong hand, and the Government may find
it difficult 10 resist their demand. The Ma
tionalist, in reply to Sir Edward Carson,

self government, and since there is no
analogy with the position of Ireland they
assert that Ireland will be found to
be a united nation in resistance to- com
pulsion. The Liberal newspapers considet
the agitation another attempt to unsear
MIR Asquith and contend that while com,
pu!sion in Ireland would provide @ few men,
it would provoke another first class Irish
crisis and throw Ireland into the hands of
the Sim Feins.
London, Oct. 5th.-The official statement
issued to-day reads Salonica. Tie fighting
at Yenikeui which tended yesterday morning,
resulted in complete success for our troops.
Not only did we hold the portion of the
village south of the Seree road, but we
also occupied the portion north of the
road. Thus the whole of the village
now is in our possession. The remainder of
Wednesday was without incident and was
spent consolidating our position which ex-
tends from the Orliak bridge along the Sores
road to Yenikeui and thence back to the
river through the Karajekui villages. Dur
ing the fighting of the last few days q low
land Scottish battalion and an Irish battalion
especially distinguished themselves. The
enemy suffered heavily in the recent fighting.
Vienna, Oct. 5th-The bread and potato
shortage in Vienna, which was acute two
weeks ago, has been relieved. The Govern
ment is now taking measures to improve the
distribution of food, so that waiting in line
hereafter will be unnecessary. The com-
plants of the women, aud the campaign
carried on by the newspapers brought about
this welcome change.
