From brief Berlin dispatches II was
evident that for the time being the

whole front along the extremtties OF

villages and some heights, and made
three hundred prisoners But the

indirect admission that the Austro-

one as there was no law OF compul-

any law contefn plated which would
compel any ones service.
That in that respect we were dit
ferent from country where the law
compelled men to oourse of action,
and that one Of the difrlcuities con-
fronting us was to get our people.

The demand upon our people was
the conservation OF feodstuffs, such as
wheat, corn, meats. ETC., by the sub
