WAR SUMMARY

Heavy fighting is in progress on the
Aisne front in northern France, where
the French are entrenched In favorable
positions after their notable advances
in the spring campaign. Germans ap.
parently have heavily reinforced their
troops in this sector by men brought
from the Russian front, and one sucn
division was sent into the fighting di-
rectly after its arrival, making an at
tack yesterday between the Ailette river
and the Laffaux mill.
The assault, while along a front of
apparently less than one mile, was OF
extremely violent character. The French
stopped the German rush. suffering only
a slight penetration Of their first line
at two points. aggregating between 500
and 200 yards. Paris reports.
Even this slight gain was partly neg.
atived this morning when a French
counter attack resulted in the recapture
Of portion of the lost ground. The
crown princes troops lost heavily in
the fighting.
Berlin claims the capture Of more
than fifteen hundred yards Of trenches
In yesterdays attack
The French official statement also
announces progress made by General
Petain's forces northeast Of Mont Car
nilett. in the Champagne.
During this fighting. five aviation ma.
chine guns were taken from the Ger
mans.

INTO WAR CAUSES
GERMAN UNREST

Paris, June 2i.--Jules Cambon, gener.
al secretary Of the ministry of foreign
affairs, declared that the entrance of
America into the war had caused Sc.
rious unrest in Germany. In the
course Of an interview with a cores
pondent of the Associated Press today
NJ. Cambon said:
I'm the hearts Of the French people.
who welcomed General Pershing there
was first of all the desire to reply to
the enthusiastic reception which the
American people gave the French dele
gates, but there was also something
else equally important. feeling Of
serious unrest was caused in Germany
by the entry into the struggle of a
country which brings to the allies, to-
gether with its entire strength. fresh
ness and ardor which have not been di-
minished by three years Of war. !
Germany feels that the Americans,
once engaged in the struggle, will not
give up. 1t is to prevent this cement
ing of close ties that Germany is null
tiplying its efforts to spread dissen.
sion among the allies"

CALLS
FOR ENLISTMENT IN
REGULAR ARMY

Washington, June 21.-President VIII
son issued a proclamation yesterday
designating the week of June 1880 as
recruiting week for the regular army
and called upon unmarried men with.
out dependents to enroll for war SER
vice in order that the ranks Of the reg
ulars might be filled promptly.
The proclamation follows
Proclamation by the President;
Il hereby designate the period Of
June 20 to 30, next, as recruiting week
for the regular army and call upon un.
married men between the ages of lS
and 40 years vino have no dependents
and who are not engaged in pursuits
vitally necessary to the prosecution Of
listment during the week herein desig-
mated to the number of 10000.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON"
The presidents action was taken at
the request Of army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the slow
rate of recruiting for the regular army,
despite the fact that the war depart
ment's recruiting agencies cover every
section Of the country, and that the men
are asked to serve only for the period
of the war.
1t had been hoped that the regular
service could be brought to its whole
war strength of approximately 100000
men. which would have permitted the
war department to carry out its plan
in regard TO the training Of all the for
ces to be raised and also as to dispatch
of armies to France.
