London, Oct 1.-THE news Of Ger

fighting for every foot of the way.

Notwithstanding this the enemy

been occupied by the enemy were re-
taken several times by using bayonets.

Six Russian and five foreign war

permission to join the Russian forces

send-off by Grand Duke Nicholas, the
Russian commander in chief but they
have been carefully dispatched to a.
less exciting field of observation than
that of Poland Lemberg, in Galicia.

to the correspondents, Grand Duke Nj

of the press in expert and worthy

you all I should like to, for in this

silence regarding a military secret

The grand duke then informed the

RECRUITING OFFICE
! MAKES OBSERVATIONS
.ENLISTMENTS COME QUICKLY IN
LONDON WHEN ENGLISH
MEET REvERsEs

| (hssociated Press Correspondence
London. Sept. 25-At the headquar
tiers OF the London recruiting Offices
the authorities have complied a chart
which throws an interesting light on
the psychology Of recruiting. It Gov
ers period between August III and
september Z, when 51,O94 men enlist
ed in London. 1t shows how recruit
ing remained at a daily average Of
1900 while the news from the front
was not disquieting; how it rose when
the news was not so satisfactory, and
how it went up with a rush when
heavy casualties were announced.
On Monday. August "a, the news
vah German advance all along the
line" There were 1,4sl recruits. On
Tuesday there was further advance
and the recruits went up to 1,547. On
Wednesday, when 1t was announced
there were 1000 casualties at Mons
the figures rose to 1851. On Thurs
day, with report of the retirement
Of the British troops, 1000 recruits
we're added to the roll.
BY Saturday, the 29th, when the
news was British fight against tre-
mendous Odds" the total was raised
to 1908 for the day, and even on sun
day, usually a slack day, 1850 meh
enlisted But the following Monday
August 81, when the headlines read
Casualties 5000" and photographs
of the first British wounded were
printed; recruits responded with a
challenging rush and 4,001 men en-
listed. On Tuesday there was only
o slight drop to s,479. On Wednesday
the first list OF casualties reused an
other challenge and a fresh record Of
Abs was made. On the morning Of
Monday, September Z, there appeared
the news Of $4,000 British casualties,
and the sinking Of the Pathfinder. Lon
don replied by making still another
record Of nearly 5000 men.
Now that the war Office has had a
chance to deal with the first 100000
recruits for the new army it is antici-
pated that before long the standard
will be put back to the old level. At
the London recruiting headquarters
the names and addresses are beng ta-
ken Of thousands OF men just under 5
feet inches, and they are being told
to settle down for a few weeks and
walt until they receive telegram
An official said it was not that the
army did not want the feet 8 inch
men but recruiting had to be damped
down somehow to give the war offlce
a chance to deal with the men, and It
was decided that the simplest way was
to raise the standard 1t win soon be
down again.
