COLONEL ROOSEVELT :
HAS 10000 men

New York, May 9.-Co1ohel Theo.
dore Roosevelt's military plans, re.
vealed III detail for the first time, will
Surprise the general public:
The colonel has tentatively recruited
an army approximately Of 100000 men,
exclusive Of officers, and has perfect.
ed arrangements so this entire force
could be mobilized iii six weeks and
Its first units started OH the way to
Fratice for extensive training there.
Every one of the forty.eight states
has contributed volunteers and not
one Of these volunteers, by reason
Of age limit, could serve under
the new selective draft. Not one Of
them has been drawn from the nation
al guard Of any state.
The bulk Of the colonel's new mar.
tial following Is made up of solid men
81 business and affairs-lawyers, bank.
ers, brokers, college professors, legis-
iatorb, preachers, merchants and
eierks. It Is officially asserted that
the large majority Of these men are
earning from $4,000 to 100000 a year
and that their death in battle would
hot entail destitution on those de.
pendent On them.
THAT only tnen who can financially
AFFORD to die should be eligible for
Service at the front Is fixed prihci'
pie OF recruiting with the colonel.
lie believes a physically sound man
| in middle life can fight. hence his re-
cruits range between the ages ot
twenty-five and fifty years, but he
wants no soldier with him on whose
earnings at home a wife and children
depend tor support.

British Steadily Closing
In On German Forces
Battle for Bulleeourt Now Raging With
The Germans Offering Stubborn
Resistance Late Report

London, May 9.-The great human
nippers which General Haig has forged
around the southern end of the bro.
court.Queant switch line are steadily
closing and the rolling up of this i'm.
portant section CT the German de.
fenses appears to be matter of b
few days.
The Drocourt-Queant line Is the
hastily improvised barrier thrown up
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to
protect Cambria and Douai after the
more famous line, named in honor of
himself, had been smashed by the
British.
The bitter resistance offered by the
Germans to the British advance cen:
tered in their defense of Bullecourt,
two and half miles east Of Queant.
To the south the British have forged
we'll beyond Queant, but have been
forced to mark time until Bullecourt
falls. The capture of the village was
entrusted to Australians and these
hard fighting colonials have almost
surrounded the German stronghold.
Its surrender or extinction is expect.
ed momentarily.
The Drocourt.Queant line forms q
broad salient in the British front at
it's top and paralleling the Douai,
Cambria line. Drocourt Is seven miles
from Douai and Queant about ten
miles from Cambrai.
German Grip Is Broken.
The crushing in of this salient will
mean that the German grip on the
great Lens coal region will be broken
and the entire German line in North.
ern France imperiled.
News from the Western front Is not
merely being suppressed In Berlin
but is being doctored for the consump
ton Of German newspaper readers
Discrepancies between the German
and allies official versions are ap
parently arousing suspicious in some
German minds at least, and Berlin
newspapers are being bombarded with
questions that their military critic.
have some difficulty in answering.
There Is significance also in the
fact that the German emperor in the
latest Of his congratulatory telegram.
speak Of SERIOUS and decisive
time" instead of e&ulting over vic
tories, real or imaginary.
Apart from France the only fight
ing of significance reported from the
war theater is taking place iii Mace
dot1ia. The reports FROM this from
are tneager, but they indicate an In
creasing activity which may presagt
a general offensive by the allies.
