That night two explosions shook the

that housed thousands of gallons OF
benzine and numberless cartridges.
The flames lighted the valley and the
smoke rolled slowly away, while the ex-
ploding cartridges initiated heavy rifle
fire for two hours. Meanwhile the last
regular troops mace their way into
Nish, safely past Chele Kuls, where
the roads from Kynazevac and Prot,

-Four Classes of Unmarried
Men, 10 to %, to Report
on January 20.
LONDON STARTLED
BY SUDDEN MOVE
Crowds Gather Round Posters
Derby Reaffirms Pledge TO
Married Men.
IBy cable to me Tflsl.s.l

London. Dec. IS. A royal proclama-
tion calling up the first four groups OF
Lord Derbys recruits created intense
interest throughout London to-day. The
first poster bearing Lord Kitchener
call was displayed at Ludgate Hill
about II O'Clock. BY noon the entire
city was discussing the latest military
step. Each copy OF the proclamation
was the centre Of a crowd struggling
to read the text.
While the recruits Of the classes al
fected take the news cslmly it is an
parent the suddenness rather startled
them. Several men in the summoned
classes said vigorously, This will bring
the questions dealing with the fetch
me- brigade to a head quickly" and
their opinion seemed justified by LORD
Derby's statement this afternoon that
the pledge to the married men would
be carried out in spirit as well AS in
letter.
The classes called out are groups 2,
3, 4 and 8 of the Derby recruits. The
announcement placsrded by the War
Office states that their services viii
begin on January ~.
These groups are composed OF un-
married men from nineteen to twenty
two years of age.
All recruits on the Derby rolls who
did not enlist for immediate service
were placed on the army reserve rolls,
and therefore the first call for service
Of four classes Us made by the same
formality as in the case of the ola
army reservists who heretofore have
been called to the colors.
If it should develop that any large
percentage Of unmarried el;glbleS
failed to enlist it is expected they will
be subjected to CONSUMPTION, as fore
Swallowed by Premier Asquith before
any calls are made for married men
who volunteered under the Derby plan
1t is inferred the government: in
tends to consider the first class, con-
sisting of eighteen-year-o boys, as
corresponding to the class of 1917 in
Continental countries, and will defer
indefinitely putting them in training.
"All figures so far are guesswoTk; ]
don't know the results myself SAID
the Earl of Derby this afternoon in a
speech at Bolton on his recruiting
scheme. He assured the country that
the pledge to call single men co Hpul-
sorily before calling the married men,
should the results show that the for
mer. except in negligible numbers
failed to volunteer, would be scrupu
lousy observed. He added, perhaps
significantly, that he hoped such a call
would not be required.
