MORE MEN TO BE CALLED.
Second Draft, May Be Ordered Within
Short Time.

Washington. = Announcement that
that 100000 registered men not call
ed in the first draft will be ordered
up for examination Immediately is eX-
pected to follow a conference between
Secretary of War Baker and Provost
Marshal General Crowder.
1t has been definitely decided by the
war department to order the examina-
ton of the 100000 men.
The question of examinations is not
expected to take up much time. The
real problem to be dealt with is that
of second draft.
This looms up as more imminent
than generally expected. 1t has pro-
crossed to the point where the selec-
ton of an actual date is under dis
cussion.
The plans of the general staff for the
handling of the first draft have been
completed. 1t is broadly limited that
some of the drafted men will receive
not more than sixteen weeks training
before they are moved to embarka-
ton camps, formed into skeleton divi-
sions and sent to France.

RA|G BLAZING WAY
WITH HIS ARTILLERY
GREAT MASSES OF STEEL BLAST
ING GERMAN POINTS MARKED
OUT FOR CAPTURE.
TIL Army of the German Crown Prince
Again Has Endeavored to Dent the
French Line, But Again
Has Failed.

London. = Through squalls of rain
and under low-hanging clouds, Field
Marshal Haig is blazing the way with
his artillery for another raid into the
German line in Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
week the British infantry has kept to
the trenches and shell craters, except
where forays were called for to re-
align the new front or counter-attacks
were necessary to hold back weak Ger
man attempts to recapture lost ter
rain. But the big guns never ceased
their activity, and day in and day out
great masses of steel have been blast
ing the German points which are map
ped out for capture when the new
drive IS launched.
Particularly heavy is the lombard
ment in the region running from
Langemarck to Zonnebeke, and es-
pecially to the east of the latter town,
where the wedge of the British has
been pushed in almost within striking
distance of the Ostend-Lille road.
When the new offensive will be
sprung cannot be predicted. Several
days may elapse before Haig has suf-
ficiently pounded the Germans to war
rant sending his men across No Mans
land or the process of demolition al
ready may have advanced to the point
where the first gray streaks of dawn
of tomorrow may see it's commence
ment.
The army of the German crown
prince in Champagne again has en-
deavored to dent the French line, but
again has failed, with considerable
Comparative quiet prevails on the
northern portion of the front in Rus
STA and along this line to Roumania. In
Rourmania, however the Russians, in
an attack northwest of the town of Sc
reth, captured Tutonic position,
made prisoners of 762 men and also
took seven machine guns. Under
heavy artillery fire the Russians later
were compelled to evacuate the posi-
ton.
Daily the Italians and Austrians are
engaged in battles for supremacy on
the slopes of Monte San Gabrielle, in
the Gorilla sector. In the latest fight
the Italians captured enemy positions
on the northern slopes and also took
prisoners. On several other sectors of
this theatre the Austrians have deliv-
cred attacks, but everywhere were re-
pulsed.

LEAGUE FOR NATIONAL UNITY.
Movement to Lead and Express Pub
lie Opinion on the War.

Washington.-A movement to lead
and express public opinion on the war
was inaugurated here October 8 by
formation of the League for National
Unity, representing church, political,
labor, agricultural and industrial or
CARNATIONS, to which President Wilson
gave his Endorsement in an address
emphasizing the need for team play
by the forces of American thought
and opinion.
Welcoming the leaders of the move
ment at the White House in brief
speech, the president expressed the
belief that American public opinion.
although understanding the wars
causes and principles, needed guidance
remember that the war should end
only when Germany is beaten and Ger
many's rule of autocracy and might
are superseded by the ideals of de
mocracy.

GERMAN INTRIGUE
MORE OF BERNsToRFF'S CABLE
EXCHANGES WITH Won JAGOW
MADE PUBLIC.
Throws Further Light Upon the Ma
chinations of the German Diplomatic
Service in Attempt to Overthrow
French Government.

Observation-Disclosures of Count Won
Bernstorff's confidential cable eX-
changes with the Berlin foreign office
were made public by the state depart
ment on October 5, furnishing docu-
mentary proof of the extraordinary
activities of Bolo Pasha, now pris-
oner in France, and throwing further
light upon the Vaccinations of the
German diplomatic service.
The messages, signed by Won Bern
storff and by Won Jagow, then foreign
minister, show that $1,700,U00 which
the ambassador obtained authority to
place to the credit of Hugo Schmidt,
then a representative of the Deutsche
bank at, New York, was sought as a
loan to a leading political personal
ity" in France and was counted upon
to bring peace. They were exchanged
Socialists were threatening to over
throw the government and there was
talk of France being tired of war and
dissatisfied with the part played by
her allies.
The willy Bernstorff cautioned
against expressions in the German
press concerning internal French
changes, suggesting that German APP
proval might upset all his plans. He
also was careful not to put down the
name of the political personality, say
ing verbal report would be made as
soon as a trustworthy messenger
could be sent
Hugo Schmidt testified in New York
before State Attorney General Lewis,
telling how the money was placed to
his credit, with instructions from Won
Bernstorff that it was to be disposed
of as Adolph Pavenstedt might direct.
Pavenstedt already had told the at
torney general that Won Bernstorff OBJ
tanned the fund to finance a scheme
of Bolo Pasha for peace between Ger
many and France.

The Prose Epic.

No literary species has had more
unexpected and a more unprecedented
prosperity than the novel in prose,
which ia the nineteenth century be-
came the most popular Of forms, es-
sayed 0y many writer who pos
sessed only a small share of the GIT
of storytelling. The novel Is almost
the only one of the literary species
that the Greeks of the Golden Age
did not develop and carry to perfec-
ton which is the despair of all later
men of letters. They seem to have
cared little for prose fiction; ana
when they had story to tell they set
1t forth in verse, inspired by the muse
of epic poetry. Today that forsakeh
maiden can find work fit for her hanas
only by laying aside her singing robes
and understanding to bare prose-
