National Guard Camp, Pawnee

Kansas National Guard lost 425 men,
of the severe physical requirements of
the federal service. That became
known today. Preparations are under
way for returning the rejected men
to their homes
The loss was heaviest in the First
infantry regiment in which 2O5 men
and six officers failed to pass the ex-
aminations. The signal corps lost
thirty men and thirty-six from Battery
A, Topeka, will not go to the border
for the same reason. The Second reg
iment, which is expected to reach its
border station today. after having left
Saturday lost 165 men and officers.
Many of those rejected expressed dis
appointment today over the fact, say
ing that most of them had been mus
tered out simply because they were a
pound or two under weight.
May Delay First Regiment.
Rations were issued today to the
First infantry regiment in preparation
for its entraining for the border. 1t
is expected to leave tomorrow,although
some doubt was expressed as to the
possibility of this owing to the loss of
the six officers. The readjustments
necessary because of that may prevent
departure until Wednesday. -he bat

Mexico City, July 3.-The foreign
office today was unable to make any
definite statement as to when Cen
eral Carranza's reply to the American
note would be presented. Friday it
was stated upon apparently reliable
authority that the reply was prac-
tically completed and would be de-
livered within a few hours. The fol-
lowing day the statement was made
that the note probably would be
ready by Monday. Today the best
information was that the final draft
would not be made for several days.

London, July 3.-News of the
Anglo-French offensive came in slow
ly today, but people showed no dis
appointment at the delays. The au-
thorities and the press gave a warn
ing that patience would be necessary,
as the advance must be slow, owing
to the nature of the fortifications
erected by the Germans in the twenty
months they have been in possession
of the territory.
Places such as Montauban, Fri
court, La Boiselle, Serre and Mametz,
which the British took, and like the
villages further south captured by the
French, bristled with machine guns.
There are many other similar posses
sions which must be overwhelmed if
the French and British infantrymen
are to continue to push forward.
The artillery demolishes most of
the defense works but the Germans
remain in dugouts during the shelling
and come out with machine guns to
meet the attackers Consequently
much hand to hand fighting occurs.
Furthermore, there are counter at
tacks to be repulsed.
Meanwhile, the troops on the north
ern end of the western front are not
inactive. orr the Belgian coast Brit
ish monitors are throwing shells across
the sand dunes to keep the Germans
in their trenches.
The Belgians, who recently took
over another stretch of the front, keen
up bombardment which equals that
of the British guns The Germans are
kept busy from one end of the line to
the other and the threatening attacks
are liable to be made at an. point
rms warns them against sending in
fantry to the Somme region.
