number the United States can send
abroad by September, 1918.
This was stated economically to-
day, along with the declaration that
not more than 100000 men can be in
Europe by next January.
The first of the new national army
will scarcely be in the environments
before October 1. at the present rate
of camp construction. 1t takes prac.
tically a year to turn a civilian into
good soldier. Hence the second
section of the new national army will
not be called out before next sum
mer. 1t is believed.
Lack of shipping facilities with
which to move the troops across the
Atlantic is the reason for the pessi-
mistic outlook.
Meantime, however, all speed will
be used In getting the first drafted
troops into khaki and training camps.
It was settled today that rigid mil
itary law applies to drafted men as
soon as they are notified held for

Unless plans are changed, offices OF

Upon notification men for the first
levy will assemble at the rendezvous
and start to the cantonment.
The war department is debating
whether to send them to the camps
in charge of military officers or allow
them to go ION their honor" The de-
partment leans toward the latter
plan.
If any men summoned to the rendez-
vous fail to appear, a squad of sol
diers will be sent to bring them. They
are then liable to penalty for absence
without leave. In case the evasion
continues they become deserters.
Drafted men will be sent to camp
with men from their own state and
to the nearest possible camp.

newspapers were his greatest aids in

PETROGRAD. July 25.-All Rus
STA joined today to back up the "un-
limited power granted to its govern
ment in searching out the traitor,
the malcontent, the spy and the
coward from its population.
The nation apparently approves
every measure of stern repression
which Russia's Lloyd George, Premier
Kerensky. is invoking.
Today Kerensky stopped all leaves
of absence from the front. He sent
soldiers everywhere hunting down de-
serters and spies. 1t was apparent
ly at his suggestion that the closest
scrutiny was given every one of the

Meanwhile the people OF Russia are
busy. I saw several speakers against
war arrested or severely beaten by
crowds on the Nevsky prospekt. One
Jew agitator was seized and formally
handed over to the police.
The whole nation is engaged in
gigantic man hunt-the man Nicholia
Lenine. the pacifist agitator, now
condemned by the government as a
paid German agent. In almost every
town in western Russia soldiers and
were making house to
house search for the man who former
ly swayed street audiences in Petro-
grad. Steklov, Lenines' closest as
sistant, was the first fruit of this ma
ton wide search. He was taken into
custody in a Finnish town.
Lenine evidently realizes his peril,
wherever he is. Today's issue of
Maxim Gorky's newspaper printed a
letter from Lenine denying he was a
German agent.
