Washington, June 3.-Fort Thorn
as, the Federal Governments army
post in Kentucky, was definitely Sc
lected last night by the War Depart
ment, as the place where the Ken
lucky National Guard will mobilize.
Following this official announcement,
made shortly before five O'Clock this
evening, by Secretary of War Baker,
orders were issued directing the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the Ken
lucky militia to proceed to the concen-
tration camp at the earliest possible
moment. The final selection of Fort
Thomas as the mobilization point for
the State militia, instead of Earling-
ton that previously had been decided
on by the War Department, or any
other city, is in line with the original
recommendation of the Kentucky mil
itary authorities and in accord with
the plan worked out months ago by
the War College here. Up to noon
Thursday the War Department had
practically made up its mind that Ear
lington was to be the place for the
gathering of the Kentucky troops.
Then Secretary Baker decided to re-
consider the matter.

Soldiers of Central Powers,
on Vigorous Offensive in
Volhynia Halt Sisvs.
CLAIMS ARE CONFLICTING
German Open Up General
Offensive from Pripet to
Riga---Results Are Few.

London, June 23.-The Germans
and Austrians in Volhynia are vigor-
ously on the offensive against the
Russians and seemingly have stopped
for the time being, at least, the Rus
sian drive westward.
From north of the Pripet marshes
to the region of Riga, the Germans
again have opened what apparently is
a general offensive, heavily lombard
ing Russian positions and throwing
violent infantry attacks against them.
HEAVY COMMANDMENT AT YER
DUN.
On both sides of the river Meuse in
the region of Verdun and to the east
OF the fortress in the Woevre at the
foot of the Meuse hills, the Germans
are heavily bombarding the French.
The Germans near Givenchy cap
tured British trenches, but later were
driven out suffering heavy losses in
the counter attack.
ALLIED AIRMEN BUSY.
Considerable aerial activity against
German towns has taken place,
French machines having dropped
bombs in Trevis, Karlsruhe and Null
helm. In air battles four German
aeroplanes were brought down by the
French who in turn lost one machine
through motor trouble.
No important changes in the situa-
ton on the Austro-Italian theater or in
Asiatic Turkey have been reported.
GREECE GRANTS DEMANDS.
The ultimatum of the entente pow
ers to Greece has been yielded to by
the Hellenic kingdom. The demands
include complete rehabilitation of the
Greek army, the formation of cabi-
net ACKNOWLEDGMENT to the entente
allies, the holding of new elections
and the reconstruction of the gendar-
merle. The Greek cabinet has al
ready resigned and another is in pro-
cess of formation.

Army Bill Provisions.

Following a rough passage between
the House and the Senate, the regular
army bill finally emerged safe, though
a bit seasick, landing in the executive
harbor with the Continental Army
plan only memory. The bill pro-
vides for COG, 900 men peace strength
and 1900 additional for an emer-
gency.
An interesting provision of the bill is
for vocational training of the men in
the regular army under the direction
of the Secretary of War, and the pro-
poSal to maintain government nitrate
plants, the product of which will be
used for fertilizer when not needed
in war times.
The President is authorized to in
evstigate the mobilization OF the indus
tries Of the country in time Of war, to
add effective unity of private interests
with those of the nation, should the
arise.
Enlistment in the regular army is
now fixed at seven years three with
the colors and four in reserve, which
sounds like militarism, but il may be
