MAY DRAFT STATE MILITIA FOR
MEXICAN SERVICE

Washington, April Estate mill
tia must be drafted for Mexican serv-
ice if any very large number of ad-
ditionaI forces are needed in Villa
pursuit, it was admitted here today.
Army men hoped, however, this
step would not become necessary.
The only thing to prevent it is: First,
that the Villa trail may grow so hot
that Pershing's men need not plunge
much farther south; second, that the
present supply system may suffice
for needs of the expedition.
First supply shipment, with U. S.
depot qUartermaster at FL Paso as
consignor, left yesterday over Mexi-
can National, destined for Parral.
Four cars of oats and five of hay,
which Gen. Funston reported he
hoped would reach Gen. Pershing via
Chihuahua consul
First time Mexican National line
has been used. If the consignment
reaches Parral other shipments will
be forwarded in same manner, as the
line is more direct than Northwest
ern, heretofore used.

VICTORY ON DNEISTER

Berlin, July 6.-(Via London )--After re- peated Russian attacks on positions held by troops of General Count Von Bothmer along one sector of the front in Galicia had been repulsed, the Teutonic lines were partially transferred to a neighbor- ing sector, the war office announced to- day.
 Fierce fighting is in progress both in the Baranovicshi region and along the front i'll Volhynia. In the former sector the engagements are proceeding favor ably for the Germans, says the official statement, while in Volhynia the result is at yet inconclusive.
 The statement dealing with the eastern front reads:

vance north of the Somme and the cap- ture of German second positions there
 Complete preparations had been made quietly in this section virtually un- hindered by the Germans, while the French forces south of the river pulled up level and got thorough grip on the Germans second positions. This was accomplished by the election of the Germans from the part of the Es- tress and Belloy. The northern troops then emerged from their trenches and dashed forward a good mile. The Ger mans second positions had been so demolished by artillery that they were unable to make a strong resistance, ex- cept fat the village of Hem, which had been strongly fortified. Here the att tacking troops met desperate opposi- tion. Each house ruin was fiercely dis puted. but by hard fighting the vil- lage was won, as well as Monacu farm to the southwest.
 The French consider the capture of Hem as of considerable importance, for it commands the passage of the river to Feuilleres. already in their hands. Its possession thus assures direct bond between corps on either side of the stream.
 The Germans are beginning to react more vigorously as reserves arrive. particularly south of the Somme, and the French advance there is hotly con- tested. French critics expect that Ger mans will concentrate all their ener- gies in defense of the villages of Bar leux. and -Carbonnell. The for mer bars the ravine lying between the two plateaus which separate the French line from Peronne. while the latter a village of 500 inhabitants. stands on the southernmost of the two plateaus, 300 feet high. and rakes the whole valley of the Somme as far as Peronne

 ALLIED SUCCESSES
tCentinued from Page one)

North of the Somme a. series of Ger man counter attacks, directed against our new lines north of the village of Hem, were successfully shattered by our artillery without the enemy being able to obtain the least success. We took some prisoners.
 South of the river counter attacks launched from Berny- -En-Santerre on our positions between Estrees and Belloy were stopped by our barrage fire and the enemy was unable to debouch from his trenches. In this region the Germans sui fered great losses. Two companies, caught in a trench northwest of 8erny by the enfilading fire of our mitrailleuses, were annihilated.
 "On the left bank of the Mouse the activity of the artillery on both sides con- tinues in the sector of Chattancourt On the right bank of the river the enemy vio- lently bombarded the Fumin wood.
