ALL NATIONAL GUARD CALLED

Will Be Drafted Into the United States Anny on August 5. The last step necessary to make - the entire nationa| guard available for duty in France was taken Monday by President- Wilson with the issuance of a proclamation drafting the state troops into the army of the United States on August 5. Fourteen camp sites for the sixteen technical divisions in whichthe guard will be organized for war purposes have already been selected. Seven are in the- southeastern department, five in the southern and two in the western. The two others will be in the southwestern department. Russian troops have scored several notable victories along the eastern front and have captured more than 10.0CI0 men, 1,000 German and Austrian officers and several hundred guns. Their imited and effective advances have periled the German line and everywhere it is in danger of crumbling. Important developments are reported from the western front where the French and British continue to force the Germans back. Effective air raids have made on the enemy, one French flier reaching Essen and dropping ten powerful bombs directly on the Krupp gun and munition plant.
