tlonaI Guards Called on May 9

Washington-Reports TO the war de-
partment from Major-General Funston
indicate almost complete faI down
on the part OF the National Guard or
CARNATIONS Of Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico in responding to the call
of the president for service with the
regular army along the border. Sum-
moned to the colors, May 8. not a
single organization from any OF the
three states has been mustered in. Not
even the mobilization preparatory TO
the mastering of the militia into the
federal service has been completed.
An official report from San Antonio
states that 116 enlisted men Of the
Texas National Guard have fatty re-
fused to respond to the call and al
though court-martial proceedings will
be instituted to punish them in ac-
eordance with the law, officials of the
war department declare that beyond
the infection OF punishment for fail
ure TO respond, there is no means OF
compelling the guardmen TO serve.
At the present rate at which mobili-
sation is going on for these three
states army officers figure it would re-
uuire between one and two months to
mobilize any considerable number o.
National Guard organizations froE
various parts of the country.

Scene OF BATTLE
FRENCH DRIVE GERMANS OUT
OF TRENCHES AND RECAP.
TURE FART OF FORT.
CONTINUOUSLY UNDER FIRE
Berlin Also Makes Claim of Capturing
More Than a Mile Of British
Trenches.

London-The French have recap
tured part of Fort Douaumont, the on
ly one Of Verdun's ring of 20 forrs
taken by the Germans since they be-
gan their offensive, February 81. This
was announced in the Paris war Office
statement which added that the
French had also forced the Germans
from positions west of the Mouse on
Hill 2S7 and near Dead Man hill.
No point on the Verdun front has
been so continuously under fire as has
Fort Douaumont. or rather the ruins
of the fort and the hill they occupy.
The fort itself was destroyed by
the Germans in the first days Of tho
battle and the site was captured by
them February 25. Since then the
French have made scores of attacks
in efforts to regain the position, al
ways failing until Monday.
The Paris statement says that az
ter a vigorous artillery preparation
the French infantry stormed the hill,
drove the Germans from trenches
about a mile long and penetrated the
fort. The Germans. however, still
hold the northern part of the fort.
Berlin's official statement Of Monday
indicated that the French were max
ing attacks both on the east and west
of the Mouse that eQualed In vigor
those of the Germans. All these at
tacks were repulsed, according to Ber-
lin, whose report only covered the
fighting up to this morning.
Berlin also reported an attack by
Germans on the British front, saying
the invaders captured more than a
mile of trenches and inflicted heavy
losses on the British.
With this attack on the British the
Germans and Austrians are now en-
gagged in an offensive which experts
here regard as the beginning of a
new phase OF the war.
That the onslaught Of the Austrians
against the Italians. the renewal Of
the attack on Verdun and the opening
of assaults on the British front and
at other points are parts of one gen.
eral strategic plan. is evident.
