After Taking Many Prisoners.

London, July 13.-General Brush
lofts offensive in Galicia is developing
into a drive with little or no let up
at least so far as the part in it played
by General Korniloff's armies is con-
cerned.
News of the capture of Halicz is fol-
lowed by the announcement that Gen.
eral Korniloff's troops had pushed on
beyond Lesiuvka, southwest of Stanis-
lau, and had occupied Kalusz, city
of 5000 population seven miles west
Of the Stoka river. The Austro-Ger-

after sanguinary battle the Russians
rushed into the town, and according
to advices from Petrograd they are
continuing their advance after having
taken large number of prisoners.
The central point of the Posiecz.
Lesiuvka-Karmacz line, reached by the
Russians is Lesiuvka, four miles west
of the River Bystritza. 1t is about %
miles east OF Kalusz, the nearest large
town west of Stanislau, and which is
situated in bend of the Stoka river.
=. Roumanians Join SIavs..
The capture of Kalusz indicates an
amazing progress of the Russian Of
fensive forces through the break in the
German lines around Halicz.

mile front, they have penetrated the
Austro-G German line at two places,

and villages, crossed two great rivers
and taken close to $4,000 prisoners

U. S. FORCE CROSSES FRANCE
"PERSHING'S BOYS" MOVE TO
PERMANENT BASE.
People Greet Troops Enthusiastically
Along Entire Route, Cheering
Crowds Greeting Trains.

With the American Army in France,
July IS. - Pershing's boys have cross.
ed France from the camps near the
French~seaport where they first land
ed, to the permanent new base.
1t was one great triumphal process
sion. In trains carrying 1000 each the
American troops rode through some
of the most beautiful parts of France.
Nearly all the way they sang patriot.
&c songs, marching songs, ragtime-
everything. Some displayed their lin
guistic and musical talents by hum
ming French airs they had picked up
In the few short weeks in camp.
Greeted by Cheering Crowds.
All along the itinerary, in every
city, town, village and hamlet, the
trains were greeted by cheering
crowds. AS the first train passed
through the inhabitants in the imme-
date vicinity Of the station came run
ming out. No piece of gossip ever
made such wildfire progress through
towns, big and small as the news that
the "Sammies" were passing through.
Everywhere thousands of men, wom-
en- and children streamed in and when
the last train passed through, the
tracks were thickly lined with a jul
bilant multitude. At places where the
passing of the "Sammies' had been
known before hand, the Stars and
Stripes were displayed with an opul-
ence that strongly suggested Ameri,
can towns celebrating the Fourth of
July.

would cause the ministry to resign. 1t
is not improbable, however, that the
Chilean governments attitude of neu.

resignation. There have been reports

MINISTRY SEEMS DOOMED TO
FALL AND KAISER, WAvERING,
IS INCLINED TO ACCEPT NEW
PROGRAM.
REFORM IN FRANCHISE
ALSO THOUGHT CERTAIN
Only Way Out of Political Chaos Shak'
ing German Empire to Its Founca-
ton 10 Said to Be Retirement
Of Bethmann-HoI Iweg and For
nation of Coalition Body.

Amsterdam, July 13.-Out of the po-
litical chaos that is shaking the Ger
man empire to its foundation; there
seems but one way out-the resigna-
ton not only of Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg, but Of the entire ministry.
Late dispatches from Berlin indicat-
ed that this was an immediate prob
ability. The resignation Of Bethmann-
Hollweg has been announced by the
Vossiche Zeitung. The emperor is
said to be holding his decision in
allegiance.
The one way out is not, however,
confined to the mere resignation of
the present cabinet and acceptance by
the emperor. A supplementary step
of tremendous historic consequence
must be taken to make the escape
from political revolt complete. Only
one man can take 1.-THE Kaiser.
Kaiser and Crown Prince Confer.
And those who know William II
and know the gravity of the crisis,
expect him to take that step. In a
long nocturnal heart to heart talk
with his throne heir, in the Potsdam
palace, whittier the crown prince hur-
ried by special train from the Verdun
front in response to his fathers sum-
mons, the momentous decision was
reached, it is believed.
Close observers here believe it is
the decision of the proud house Of
Hohenzollern to bow to the will of the
people and make the first full conces-
sion since Wilhelm's grandfather was
crowned German emperor at Yer.
sailles.
Would Be Master Stroke.
BY a master stroke which will cost
him great deal Of his power, EN-
peror William Is expected to solve the
situation. When the Reichstag meets
today or tomorrow for its official post
poned plenary resolution, the Kaiser
will make it known, it is predicted,
by an imperial message to the Ger
man people that he leaves to their
representatives the appointment of a
successor to Bethmann-Hollweg and
the rest Of the cabinet.
Coalition Seen as Way Out.
Thus, and thus only-can the storm
be silenced, it is believed here. Po-
litical dissension would calm down
considerably-temp at least
and with a coalition government the
empire would once more show a SOL
i'd front against the outside world.

DRAWING TO DESIGNATE WHO
WILL FIRST HAVE TO REPORT
FOR MILITARY SERVICE
IN WAR.
OTHERS HELD IN RESERVE
FOR DEMANDS LATER ON
Each Man Registered Has About One
Chance in Fourteen Of Being
Sent to the Trenches-
Army Of 100000
Figured On.

Washington, July 13.-Every man
of the 100000 or more in the United
States who registered is to be drafted
The actual drawing which is to be
made next week, probably Wednesday,
will determine merely who is to be
called first If drafted.
The first numbers drawn will be the
men first ordered to the colors. There
will be a million of them. If out OF
that million the War department finds
when physical and industrial exemp
tons are made, that there are not
enough left to form national army
of 100000 and fill the ranks of the
regular army and National guard to
war strength, additional men will be
called out until this is done.
This plan was made public by Secre.
tary of War Baker in long interview
with newspaper correspondents.
May Not Be Called.
The fact that every man is to be
drafted does not mean that he will
have to serve. He may never be called
to the colors. But his name will be on
the list, no matter how far down and
he will be subject to call If needed.
Government officials hit upon this
plan as the simplest and most effect.
i've. 1t does away with the necessity
for a separate draft for each new i'm.
crement as conditions prove necessary.
But One Draft.
There will be but one draft for the
entire war unless conditions so de.
velop that the demands for man-power
are such that the entire 100000 are
used up and new call to take in men
of ages other than between Fl and 81
is found necessary.
1t also does away with the necessity
for draft for few hundred thousand
men in case 1t is found that more than
the first million are needed to form
an army of 100000 and fill the ranks
of the two forces now in existence,
after exemptions have been made In
stead of drawing men until the re-
quired number is reached, men will
merely be ordered out in the order
their names stand in the list.
Mans Chances II to I.
The chances of the individual are IA
to that he will not be sent to the
trenches, officials estimated. In the
first place on the basis of 10000 900
men, it is 10 to 1 shot that John
Smith or w. X. Citizen will not be
among the first million.
Then after he Is called, should he
be called, 1t Is to shot that he
will not fill the requirements. Officials
are going on the theory that only one
man out of four will meet physical re-
quirements for active service and at
the same time not be exempt because
of national, industrial or family rea.
sons.
Out of the entire 100000 registered
only about 100000 at the outside will
be secured.
