British Papers Do Not Take Kindly
to Idea Of Enforced Service
In the Army. ,M

London, Jan. THE Manchester
Guardian expresses regret that the
first result of the passage of the COM
pulsory military service act is a
breaking up Of the union of parties
which, though checkered by untoward
events, helped keep a united nation
concentrated on single object from
the outbreak of the war to the pres
ent.
The Guardian demands positive evi-
dence that compulsion is necessary,
saying at the same time that the ma
tional cause is paramount over other
considerations. It says the figures of
the Derby recruiting campaign are not
convincing. These figures, the Guar
dian contends, have made out case
for further examination.

aERa HARpsHIPs MANY.

.
Paris, Jan. 7.-Hardships encounter
ed by the Serbian army in its flight
through the mountains of Albania are
described in a letter to the Temps
sent from Scutari on December IL.
"This is the sixth capital Serbia
has had during two months" says the
writer. "After Nish it was Kralievo,
then Raska, Mitrovitza, Prisrend and
finally Scutari.
''As a tourist am acquainted with
the Alps, the Carpathians and the
Pyrenees, but have never seen such
goat paths for roads running along
the edges of terrible precipices and
the sides Of peaks in the clouds. The
off, icials of the Serbian government
rode little mountain ponies but often
they had to abandon their mounts and
go on foot. l have seen their horses
slip and fall into abysses. Sometimes
one haC. to go on all fours. Some, to
avoid vertigo, had to be guided with
closed eyes.
'Then there was snow which caus-
ed fresh suffering. Roads we're worn
through the snow a yard deep. Al
bantam guerillas were taking pot shots
at US from DoHlHu IOChS MSA uP VI
from opposite sides OF the canyons.
"The army could not bring its guns
and conveys through such country.
When we began to enter it We had
to destroy automobiles, wagons, We.
hicles and every sort of gun. Oficers
and soldiers wept as they demolished
their guns, those pieces Of steel which
they called their French friends" the
ordnance having been made at Creu-
sot. The men had become attached to
them and many artillerymen served
the same gun four years. Some Off
GERS refused to destroy their pieces,
saying they preferred to use their last
bit of strength in trying to save
them! and some Of them succeeded
and actually have brought their guns
across.
Altogether there have arrived by
various routes six thousand women
and children. The tragedy of the sit
uation is that the army has almost
nothing to eat. The soldiers had no
bread for four days but small quanti-
ties of flour were kept for the women
and children"

BELGIAN PEOPLE
IN DIRE STRAITS
AND FACE FAMINE
MINISTER TO THIS COUNTRY
SAYS CONDITIONS At HOME
ARE PAST BELIEF.

New York, Jan. TN that portion
of Belgium which remains from Ger
man occupation and which appears
so small on the maps, there are lOO,-
900 regular residents and about as
many more refugees from the rest OF
that country. All the refugees are de-
pendent upon charity, says Alloys van
de Vyvere, Belgian minister of finance,
who Is in this country to inspect con-
tracts given by Belgium. Before leav-
ing today for Washington, the minis
ter said:
In addition to these residents and
refugees, we have in our small bit of
unoccupied territory many invalided
soldiers. Our improvised hospitals are
overcrowded with civilians, for in such
a place, with the awful ruin from
burning and shooting, we have many
epidemics. There has been typhoid to
an alarming extent and will be more
when spring comes"
The Belgium minister said that yes
terday he received cable dispatch
saying that the supply of condensed
milk in Belgium is now exhausted.
1--WE do not easily what you Ameri-
cans calls squeal, but this means dis
aster for the babies and nursing moth
ers," he said. "Six months ago the
commission for relief in Belgium sent
all the condensed milk 1t could spare.
We have grouped our children as much
as possible and sent them of toward
France to avoid danger from shells
and from the contamination of camp
life conditions which are virtually
everywhere in the little strip of our
own country that Is left to use.
II hear that things grow worse also
in the rest of Belgium. Potatoes
which were our staple diet, have be-
come scarce Even the great guam
titles of grain sent regularly by the
commission for relief in Belgium are
becoming insufficient" i'll
