New-York tribune., 1917-07-25

Out of the 6o6,o0o-odd young men
registered in New York City under the
selective service law, 1886 are to be
drafted out of their civilian occupa-
tiohs TO fill the gaps in the ranks OF
the National Guard and regular units
and to form Uncle Sans first overseas
conscript army.
This is the city's quota. net and hnai'
as officially bulletined forth from Al
bany last night. To determine 1t
clerical army, in itself Of formidable
size, has been at work for weeks check
ing back over all service enlistments
and crediting each to the proper dis
trict.
New York States net quota is an
nounced as 69,24l. The gross OF ilZ'-
2l2. fixed by the Federal authorities
for the state, is reduced TO this ngure
nv those who we're in the Guard on
Anr;l and those who enlisted in the
Cuard and the regular army between
that time and June 80. Thus the total
of state credits is 52,97l.
Master Lists on Way Here
With the publication Of the quotas
and their official communication to the
local boards, Albanys preliminary WORK
on the draft is finished. 1t is the FED
eral government upon which the exemp-
tors are now waiting-more specihcaliy
upon the Postoffice, for the master lists
OF the draft are already in the mails
outgoing from Washington.
When these lists arrive the local
boards will have three days OF grace, IN
which to arrange their available
lists"; that is, lists of men registered
in order of their liability to call as de-
termined by the great national lottery.
These lists disposed Of and posted,
the exemptors will then tackle the big
lob of examining registrants and pass
ing on exemption claims.
So far as is known, no allowance has
been made in the quotas for alien reg
istrations, which, in certain districts,
rise to a high percentage of the total.
Where the alien registration was espe-
cially heavy-conspicuousl in the con-
gested neighborhoods Of the lower East
Side-citizen registrants will be hard
hit, for all enemy aliens. together with
such other aliens as have not taken out
first papers, fall automatically into the
exempt classes.
East Side to Protest

East Side has been making itself heard

on the subject, and those officials who
have made it their business to keep in
close touch with the situation are ex-
pectant now Of yet more vociferous
protest. Agitators who dropped their
fight on the principle Of the draft TO
preach the "unfairness" Of the method
have in the district quotas the actual
figures to back their arguments. With
this material it should not be difficult
10 make citizen registrants Of the sec
tions who have never been enthused
by the prospect Of going away to war
feel themselves the victims of dis
elimination.
Basically the quotas are figured on
the number of registrants in each ex-
emption district. The automatic elimi-
nation of the exempt aliens, who, as
the East Side sees It. should never have
been registered, means that many citi-
zens will be drafted who might other
wise have been permitted to await a
future call. There will be enough Of
these and enough of their friends al
lied with them, the authorities fear, to
stir up the ructions at one time threat
ened by the militant paciists.
The credits appear TO have been
spread equally over the ls9 exemption
districts into which the city has been
arbitrarily divided for the purposes Of
the draft. There is no case even ap-
preaching those of the three Pennsyl-
vania cities whose young men joined
the colors as volunteers in such num-
bers that none need now be sent to
fight as conscripts.
Instead of $50, as tentatively sug-
gested, the average quota Of the city
exemption district is 206.
265 From Bronx District
The largest number Of men which
any district will be called upon TO
send in answer to the present call is
265. This is The Bronx district. over
which Local Board No. /, George ".
Decklyn, chairman. has jurisdiction. II
includes the 32d TO 4lst Election dis
tricts (inclusive) of the Thirtieth AS
sembly District, and its population Of
35,076 is the largest of any draft di-
vision in the FIVE boroughs.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-25

mentally Russia is much stronger to-
day than before. The Provisional Gov
eminent can enact its decisions now
promptly and effectively. It's authority
is no longer a sham but a reality. The
accomplishments o. the great revolu-
tion therefore have been fortified. ard
not jeopardized, by the Petrograd re
bellion of last week
The unexpected peril to which the
New Russia is now exposed is not in
ternal, but external; not political, but
military. The Teuton hordes are push
ing the Russians back. On the outcome
Of this push the fate of liberated Rus
sia depends. While the Kaiser's opera
ton goes on a wave of national and
patriotic emotion is sweeping Russia.
This spiritual wave might yet stop the
advancing foe and save free Russia.
Should, however, the Prussian armies
overcome the Slavic revolutionary
forces, then the nationalist sentiment
now turbulently rising in Russia would
be apt to overflow the boundaries of
the revolution and escape the control Of
Kerensky and the Council Of Workmen
and Soldiers. With the Germans ad-
vancing into Russia, the nations prim-
tive patriotism might turn into rag
ing torrent, which would sweep away
the cobweb of Socialistic organizations
now spread all over the country, de-
stroy the free and progressive institu-
tions set up by the revolutionary
bodies, pour out it's wrath on the Jews.
Poles, Armenians, Firms and other
minor races and restore Czarism.
This is the grave menace lurking in
the present Teutonic offensive in the
East. II Is a menace not only to the
Russian democracy, but to the Allies
and to the democracies of the world.
For Czarism restored would quickly
conclude a separate peace with Ger
many. It might even become an active
ally of the Central Powers.

Artillery Duel in Flanders
Reaches the Greatest In
tensity of War

London, July 24.-The opening Of q
great British offensive, heralded for
days by intense artillery actions from
the river Scarpe to the Channel coast,
is believed at hand. The official an
nouncement Of Berlin tonight that the
duel Of giant guns has reached an in
tensity never before paralleled since
the war began indicates that the Brit
ish are making their last preparations
for the big thrust, which is believed to
have been hastened to save the Rus
SLAMS from complete collapse. Military
critics here predict that Haig's new
stroke will be one of the heaviest Of
the war.
On the Aisne front, in the mean
time, the German attacks against the
French positions on the Chemin des-
Danes are continuing without pause,
and are being met with counter as
saults of almost equal fury. Berlin an
nounces that one infantry regiment on
this front has been called upon TO re-
pulse twenty-one French attacks within
the last few days.
French Display Power
The counter actions of Petain's
troops resulted this morning in a
brilliant advance along the whole
plateau before Craonne-a stroke that
revealed the immense power still capa-
bic of being welded by the soldiers
who have borne the brunt of the most
sustained German offensive since Yer
dun. The French forces recaptured all
the ground previously lost on the Cali
fornie and Classmates plateaus, and in
the latter region even thrust forward
their lines at several points. All at
tempts of the enemy to regain the lost
positions broke down with severe
losses. The Berlin statement, referring
to an attack near Cerny, declares that
mot one foot of the positions won by
the tried 18th infantry Division" was
lost to the French.
Paris reports the complete failure of
German assaults northwest of Braye-
en-Laonnois and Sancy, with serious
casualties, while the German state
ment records successful raid on
French trenches in the Cauriere Wood,
on the right bank of the Meuse. Be-
soiu tue ChIl ylHs ouN VI suSScSsIui
raids last night west of Havrincourt
and near Vermelles and Hollebeke, in
Flanders, the British statement re-
ports no infantry operations on a large
scale aside from the unprecedented
artillery battle.
Aisne Is Like Verdun
The battle on the Aisne is becoming
more and more a repetition of Verdun,
though the Germans gains have been
far less and their losses exceedingly
heavier. Despite their bloody sacri-
fees their hold on the great plateau Of
Craonne to-day is precarious. The
French meanwhile seem content to
hold on to what they have and counter
attack elsewhere, where the enemys
line is thinner.
"The Manchester Guardian" makes
the point to-day: "Up TO now the
French have been all for forcing the
pace. Now they are all for delay. In
our general military policy we have
changed places with the French. We
are the ones who are now on the
hurry. while they are delaying in the
hope of receiving speedy reinforce
ments from our great new ally

Washington, July 24.-This country
will have to raise $4,000 900 900 this
year for war purposes in addition to
that already provided. Secretary Me-

UIASHINGTON, July 24.-President
w Wilson's action in removing
both Goethals and Denman, with an
unexpected vigor Of decision and an
independence of Political considera-
tions, has cleared the atmosphere here
like a thunderstorm. No one not In
volved in the controversy wished for
any other end of the scandal than the
elimination of both men.
Mr.. Denman had few partisans.
General Goethals had more, but the
revelation of his personality which had
taken place since he began to operate
where publicity was more effective
than at Panama, left few to regret Ais
resignation. And the regrets that do
exist are swallowed up in the general
feeling that it was above all desirable
to start afresh, with everybody in
volved In the old quarrel out Of the
way and with a man versed in ships
in charge Of building ships. ..
The prevailing view Of Mr.. Hurley
is as favorable as that held with re-
gard to Admiral Capps. Not word Of
fault is found with what the President
has done. With the example Of the
past before them one thing that is ex-
pected of the new men is building Of
ships.
Nation Nov Means War
The big budget of Mr.. McAdoo is
another sign that we mean war and
arc no longer pinning our faith On
some miraculous bolt from the blue
that will save us from the need Of
fighting. Originally We talked of more
than a million Of soldiers. but provid-
ed for only 100000. And-read this
as a light on national psychology-we
provided money for that 100000 only
for eight months. Something vas
going to happen that would make the
alternative from which we relucted an
necessary. Germany would collapse or
some other relief would occur before

EPISCOPAL PENSION
FUND is COMPLETED
Subscriptions Total $6,5OO,O00
and System Will Go Into
Operation at Once.

The Rt. Rev. William Lawren-
&c, Bieh0r Of Massachusetts,
who for the last year has been
engaged in collecting a $5,000,-
900 nension fund for Protestant
Eriscoral clergymen who have
reached the age of GO has an
nounced that the fund had been
oversubscribed by at least ST.
500, 900 and that the operation
of the new pension system would
begin at once.
Bishop Lawrence was relieved
from active work in his own
diocese and has had his head
quarters at Ia Wall street dur
ing his nationwide campaign
for subscriptions. ]. P. Morgan
is treasurer of the undertaking.
The S5,OOO,OOO fund was the
minimum which would insure
the solvency of the scheme. The
additional amount raised will
make it possible for the fund tc
assume the obligations of the
General Clergy Relief Fund
which has been consolidated
with the new undertaking, anC
to take over certain diocesan
funds. Under the plan adopted
every active member of thu
Episcopal clergy on attaining
the age Of GO will be eligible tt
retirement on a minimum pen
sion of $500 a year.
The maximum pension will b.
arrived at by taking the appli
cant's average salary for thu
