MEN MUST FIGHT, WOMEN MUST

WORK

United Press Association. (Received 1 p.m.) London, August '2b\ Lord Selbourne, addressing the representatives of the Agricultural Society* at Westminster, said that the Situation demands from every class greater and greater sacrifice, as the financial strain will be very great. .Many more men mus.t enlist—he cud no,t care whether they do so voluntarily or compulsory—from agrichK tlire or other industries. The agricyl-. tural laborer had done his .part in the, war nobly/ but the response had been very unequal over the country. Therefore, his forecast was that in 1916 men ( •would be taken from these farming districts whence hitherto they had nofcj gone. His aim to which Lord Kit-, chener had been sympathetic was to leave the farmer his foreman, stockman, carters, and shepherds, but the *rest of the work must be done by women' b : r men hitherto unengaged in agricultural operations. The operations in the Dardanelles! hskl been of valuable service to Russia hi reducing the Turks tlninj in the Caucasus. The German successes were due to military organis-j ation and not to the success of the German soldier over the Russian, who was absolutely sublime under the most trying circumstances. Russia's sethack now. imposed a greater burden on England, France and Jtaly than the position carried six mouths ago.
