voluntary enlistments, even after tne draft enters into effect. A spectacular tilt between Senator Stone of Missouri and Senator Hiram Johnson of California over the Harding amendment which provides for the Roosevelt division, marked the closing hour. “This amendment was an outrageous thing,” said Senator Stone. “I am going to talk about it as the Roosevelt amendment because it is Roosevelt’s law. I don’t question Roosevelt’s courage, but I do question his judgment in commanding men—he is unfit” , First Draft in September. In response to a suggestion by Senator Jones of Washington that the new selective draft army help harvest crops, Secretary Baker disclosed that ft is not expected to call out the first 500,000 men before September 1 be-

cause of “the depleted state of our supplies,” and that there will therefore be no “appreciable interference with the labor supply of the country until that date.” Will Not Affect Harvest. After stating that the labor question was receiving, serious attention from all departments, Secretary Baker wrote to Senator Jones : “Owing to the depleted state of our supplies it will not be practicable to call out the first 500,000 men to be raised under the provisions of the bill now pending before congress until about September 1, so there will be no appreciable interference with the labor supply of the country until that date. “When these men are called they will have to be continuously trained with the colors until they are sent abroad. As the period of training before they are sent abroad will be at the best all too short/in justice to the men if must be intensive and continuous.”

BRITISH TAKE TOWN

GEN. HAIG’S TROOPS CAPTURE BULLECOURT. Germans Driven From Village After Hard Fight—Paris Believes Further Retirement Is Near. London, Muy 18. —The British troops completed the capture of the village of Bulleeourt, according to the announcement from the war office, issued tonight. Fighting continued throughout the day. The official report issued this morning said the British had reached the western edge of the town. The battle for possession of Bullecourt has been going on with only brief interruptions for two full weeks, having been commenced on May 3. The British, and French have forced the Germans to use. virtually all the fresh reserves which they had at the beginning of the battle of Arras, Maj. Gen. F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office said. “Our plan,'’ continued General Maurice, “is to wear the Germans down. We realize that there is going to be no big advance without the accomplishment of this. You need not expect sensational pushes into enemy territory at present; It. will be slow hammer-and-tongs fighting, such as we have been conducting in the battle of Arras. “Lately we have been forcing the Germans to assume the offensive. This is just what we want, for the Germans are compelled to throw men against us under unfevorable circumstances. The results are disastrous to them, as their losses are tremendous.” Paris, May 18. —The desperate German counter-offensive that has been going on since Tuesday in the region of Laffaux is considered in competent quarters here as intended to mask a further retirement of the German first line on other parts of the front. Paris, May 18.—Tremendous efforts were made by the Qermans to press back the French lines south of Laon, but all failed. Six German assaults were repulsed with heavy loss of life, the war office announced.
