RECRUITS ARE WANTED FOR
SERVICE ON THE BORDER
Colonel Perry, of First Regiment,
Tells General Sale of Conditions at
Front-General Parker. U. S. A,
Comnends Nirginians.

" That the Virginia troops are giving
a good account of themselves on the
border is borne out by advices re-
ceived by General Sale from Colonel
W. ]. Perry, commanding officer OF
the First Virginia Regiment, in camp
at Brownsville, Texas. a detachment
of troops from the machine gun COM
pany he writes, have been assigned
to duty at the International Bridge
between Brownsville and Matamoros,
Mex, the first soldiers from the Ma
tional Guard to be called for such i'm
portant duty, except detail of Illinois
Cavalry. which has been on the border
for some time.
Colonel Perry states that their work
has been considerably handicapped be-
cause a large number of his men have
been given various guard duties.
which keeps them away from the
duties of their companies. Their
places are in need of being rapidly
filled and recruits are wanted in any
number. Every facility is ready to
handle the men without difficulty.
Now, il is pointed out. is the time
for enlistment If men want TO go TO
the border The need exists. and all
recruits will be sent there promptly TO
I'LL the companies that are not up to
the desired strength. There never was
a better opportunity TO get service on
the border.
General Sale Is also in receipt OF a
lester from Brigadier- General Parker,
United States Army, to whose COM
mand the Virginia troops have been
attached. conEratulating him on the
excellent showing made by the men,
and stating that he was very glad to
have them. Detschments from the
Virginia Regiments are greatly favor
ed, being given some Of the most i'm
portant duties. Virginia troops are
guarding the First National Bank in
which the government has a half mil
lion dollars, and are standing by other
posts that require the utmost vigilance
and care.

London, July 2S.--One of the
most furious battles of the war Ia
being waEed tonight on the Ave
mile Pozicaes- LonRueval front,
where the British and Germans
have been gripped in a bloody
struggle for more than n week.
The English troops are con-
tinuing to gain important ground
against the most desperate re-
sistance faced In any theater.
With their full weight of guns
and with thousands of trained
=, retnforceuneuts the Germans are
contcsting every inch of the blood
soaked territory.
The Germans have been COM
pietely driven from the Delyilie
wood, a forest fortress behind the
German third line of defense.
The British won the last inch of
ground in this vital position by a
night attack. The wood was held
by the famous Brandenbure corps
which has distinguished itself on
every field from Warsaw to Yer
dun and IL was against these
trained veterans that Kitchen

victory.

CONFEREES AT WORK
Dreadnought Provision Still Bone of
Contention


Contention
Washington, d. c., July 2S.-The
Senate and House committees of con-
terees on the naval bill held their
first session today and succeeded in
agreeing on nearly one hundred
minor amendments. They adopted a
resolution not to make public any
thing done until the report is finally
signed This was done to avoid
bringing their movements into public
controversy before they complete
their work.
Indications are that the conferees
will require at least a week 10 reach
an agreement The chief bone OF
contention is dreadnought building,
the House having provided for no
dreadnoughts, while the Senate au-
thorized ten. The Senate conferees
contend that the recent naval battle
off Jutland plainly demonstrated the
necessity OF dreadnoughts as the
backbone of the navy"
The Senate spent the entire day
debating the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill.

New York. July 2S-President
Wilson is 10 be charged with having
substituted "mastertul inactivity for
"watchful waiting" in Mexico by
Charles T. Hughes and others who
are soon to take the stump against
him.
This developed today after a two
hour conference between Chairman
William r. WILCOX. of the Repubh-
can National Committee. and Senator
Albert E Fall, OF New Mexico. Sem
ator Fall submitted to Chairman Will
cox additional evidence of the ''shilly-
shaily" policy of the Wilson admins
tration in dealing with Mexico and
promised to take the field in Maine
or anywhere else to prove that the
President is responsible for anarchy
In the sister republic and failure to
protect American lives and property.
When Senator Fall parted from
Chairman Wilcox he was asked: is
Mr. Hughes to approve your demand
for intervention in Mexico?"
Puts Ii Up to Hughes.
Mr.. Hughes must answer that
question. | am here merely to coun-
sci with him and Chairman Wilcox

American refugees have formed a

why should they not?
Saw Colonel Roosevelt.
They have been driven out OF

is a guarantee that Americans
wherever they may be will be pro-
tected with all the power of the
