LATEST NEWS OP RESCUING .. FORCE ' COMPULSION BILL SECOND READING CARRIED MINERS THREATEN NATIONAL STRIKE The compulsion issue in Great Britain is now approaching critical days. The measure has just passed its second reading under most favourable circumstances, but t'bnre is a cloud on the horizon in the shape of a difficulty with the miners. The South AYales Miners' Federation has voted against compulsion, and there is to follow a general ballot on the strike issue.

The Russian offensive in Bukowiua has been suspended', its object—to lure the enemy from the French and Balkan fronts—having been achieved.
