AMSTERDAM. Aug. 17. -Warning
has been telegraphed to Berlin by the
war correspondent of the Lokal Anzei-
ger from the eastern war theatre that,
the resistance of the Russians may be
expected to increase as the Austro-
German front approaches the Russian
line of defence. The correspondent
declares the Russians can dispose
siifficlently strong forces to enable
them to make serious temporary rc-
sistance, and adds the battles are
increasing in intensity, with perhaps
a retardation of the Austro-German
advance to bs looked for ln the im-
mediate future.

the near future. Those advices say
the Serbian oillcials consider the re-

there is not a single Canadian on

It is regarded here as extremely un-

There were some details still lacking

ed to occasion some little delay. lt
is therefore very improbable that there
were any Canadian troops on board.

SUMMARY
OF WAR
SITUATION
(Special to the Guardlin.)
LONDON, Aug. 17.-The sinking in
the Aegean Sea by a German submar-
ine of the Royal Edward with heavy
loss of life has shattered the record
of the British Navy in having trails-
ported hundreds of thousiinils of men
across the seas without the destruction
ot' one troop-liidcn ship. On two pre-
vious occasious transports had been
attacked. Tile Wayfarer was toi'-
pcdocd by a. submarine in the irish
Sen, but not sunk and only live lives
were lost. The Manitou was attacked
by it 'l`urkish torpedo boat in the
Ai-gr-uii Sea and although the ship wus
not damaged, 54 lives were lost
through the breaking of a davit as
the boat was lowered. The loss oi’
the lloyal Edward is serious. The
men it carried were not part of the
new expedition, but were reinforce-
ments for the 29th Division, which has
been on Gallipoli Peninsula since the
first landing. The news was a shock
to the British public. This was the
ilrst occasion since the sinking of the
battleship Majestic on May 28 that
thc German submarines which made
the long trip to the Dardanelles have
had success. The Royal Edwards
destruction is not likely to delay the
operations uiidortakcn, for with the
Russian rt-tircniciit in the east and
continuance of the Balkan ncgotia-I
tions. tho iii-cosslty for achieving!

l.()NllON, Aug. 17.-Colonel Arthur
Lee. nu-niber of Parliament, home on
:sliori It-uve, told his constituents at
n. nit-cling this afternoon, that nothing
less than compulsory service would
solve the difficulties which Great
llrltaln is facing. This conviction, he
said. has been burned in by his ex-
pcriences at the front, and was shared
by nearly all who had been in con-
iuct with the realities of war. " We
nt-cd compulsory national service," he
cnntiinied, “because nothing else can
solve our dlliiculties with regard to
nicii, inonr.-_\', munitions and exports.
We in-cd it to liearten our soldiers
si-rving abroad. The present fro(-iloiii
to shirlt und stay home whllc others
give their lives to defend us, und to
turn u deaf ear to the urgent call of
out-‘s country, is not what we under-
stand by Iiritish freedom."
