stadD and on the Siebenburgen eastern front
there were only outpost skirmishes. Front
CT Archduke Charles: In the wooded Carpa-
THAN region the enemy continued his attacks
with the greatest stubbornness against the
army under General Karl Freiherr Won Kirch-
bach. Near Breaza and east of the Panther
Ridge he pushed back slightly our salient

in the fighting. Otherwise the enemy has
been everywhere repulsed with the heaviest
losses. Italian theatre: There has been no
fighting on a large scale. Southeastern

certain that The Couscription Bill will pass
the Senate. Womeu's votes probably will
decide whether the CONSUMPTION measure
strongly advocated by Mr.. Hughes, will be
approved at the referendum. 1t is the gene

with relatives already at the front are certain
to vote their approval. The motion for con-
scription by Australia is the result of a siren
uous campaign by the Premier, an advocate
OF compulsory military service throughout the
British Dominions.
