EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, October 13. It is reported in the House of Commons that kord Kitchener's minimum requirements of recruits is 30,000 weekly, but the conscriptionists urge that
the extension of the war area to the Balkans necessitates an increase. There is also much comment in the lobbies regarding Lord Haldane's return from a visit to France, upon what is described as a most important mission. A controversy is going on concerning the advisability of sending an Expeditionary Force of 400,000 men to the Balkans. Experts are divided".between the claims of the Western -front and Serbia. LONDON, October 14.

". The Hous,e. of Commons must be prepared for whatever measures are necessary to obtain men."
