DRAF TING Of WAR !.
ARMY IS STARTED.

GENERAL cRoWDER-sEcoNp
DRAFT IN NEAR FUTURE I'M
PROBABLE.

Washington, ID. c., July 25.-The
race between the honor of being flrst
to fill their quotas under the setective
draft bill was on today in earnest.
Calling up men for physical examina-
tlon began this morning in several reg
ions.
Meanwhile, details of the machinery
for actually calling the accepted men
into service and sending them to their
moblIlzation me, l2. camps are being worked
out. Provost Marshal General CroWder
already has ruled that the claim of the
army attaches to any registered men
as soon as the local hoard has posted
him as accepted From that time on,
unless exempted he will he subject to
military law and the articles of war.
II appears robable that the accepted
men. when the mobilization order for
the new army is given. will be first as
quarters. Their distribution among the
16 cantoments, General Crowder said
today, would be governed by two rules
first. the section of the law requir-
ing that they be assigned as far as
practicable to duty with troops from
their own states. and secondly, the To-
cation of the nearest cantonment To
reduce the transportation problems as
much as possible.
No information has reached General
Crowder indicating that there will be
any need to summon a second draft in
addition to the 6S7, 600 men now call
ed for during the present year. Gen.
eral Crowder said today he had under.
stood that the draft machinery would
not need to be employed again during
the present year. although it will be
kept intact. Estimates covering eX-
penses of the second increments had
been submitted, it was pointed out,
because all these expenditures must
be made in advance of call to have
equipment and quarters ready or the
funds must be actually on hand when
the call is made.
War department employees who have
entered the militia establishment with
the approval of their immediate chief
will be re-instated in their civil posi-.
tions when their military service ends.
A previous war department regulation
required employees who entered traina
ing camps to resign their civil posts is
reScinded.

tiyes was a battalion commander, who
was caught with many of his men in the
rush of the British through the village.
In addition to the five hundred taken IN
Fontaine. upwards of one hundred were
captured in the fighting yesterday
about Bourbon village, where English
troops, cooperating with tanks, made
some advance.
Tanks also were employed in the as,
sault on Fontaine, and 1t was behind
these great engines that the Brltlsh
guards battled forward until they had
reached the eastern side OF the village.
A German counter attack with fresh
CORPS, which resulted in the British be-
ing pushed back through the hamlet,
gave the enemy claim to the reoccu-
patton of the place, but, as has been
stated. the Germans were unable to re-
main in Fontaine in force, so that; TO
all intents and purposes. they lost Fon-
tame. although the British did not
gain it. -,
The fighting at Bourbon village yes
terdav was very severe. The English
hogan their attack about this place IN
the face Of extremely heavy machine
gun and rifle fire. Bourbon was strong.
ly held and was crowded with rapid
frers. which held all the approaches.
Tanks worked around to the southeast
of the village and drove a hole IN the
enemy defences. Here they were close
" followed by the infantry. The ma
chine gun outposts, however, prevented
tho infantry from working its way
fsrther north on the western side.

for three hours yesterday afternoon.
Together they took testimony in the

One case, which has been given con-

Bronx rooming house for ten days
while the National Guard unit was en-

Alleged Plot to Strip
Rumania After War
Is Exposed by Lenine

MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 28.-
"The Manchester Guardians" Petro-
grad correspondent says that among
the secret diplomatic documents pub

setting forth an agreement between
Russia, France and Great Britain under
which Alexandretta (Asiatic Turkey
was to be free port and Palestine a
protectorate under Russia, France and
Great Britain. Great Britain WAS 10 re-
ceive the neutral zone in Persia, except
IspAhan and Yezd, which were to go
into the Russian sphere.
Another document, signed by Cen
eral Polivanoff, the former Russian
War Minister" the correspondent con-
tinues, Says that a Russo-Rumanlan
military and political convention was
concluded in August, 1916, giving Ru-
mania Bukowina, the Banat Gin Hun

and Transylvania.
an this document General Polivanoh
says in the event of Rumania's success
she will become a powerful country
with a population of 100000, that
she hardly will remain friendly TO Rus
STA over Bessarabia and will lessen
Russia's influence in the Baltic.
"In view of this General Polivanotf
continued, the collapse of greater Ru-
mania is an idea not against the in
terests of Russia, and the present con-
dition of Rumania must be used TO
