According 10 the Times the cab

There is great anxiety among
the ministers whether TO favor an
extension of the compulsory service
act or not" says the Times. IF
the parliamentary situation is diff

are MEMORABLE The fact is that the
army needs more men TO win the

openly predict serious trouble il the
attempt is made.
