their protecting defenses blown to pieces about them by the greatest concentration of German shell fire seen on this front in more than a year. The trenches dug along the blowing and shifting sand dunes were speedily obliterated by the storm of high explosive shells the Germans were able to pour on them.
 Most of the shells were the famous 5.9 centimeter projectiles and upward. fe wfield guns having come into play. During the terrific bombardment which lasted all through Tuesday the forti- fioations recently taken over by the British could fairly be seen to dis solve.
 The German lines to the river Yser and the sea formed a triangle, the base of which was the coast line. In this angle the sands of which are now dyed red with English blood, were North. ampton troops and Kings Royal rifles.
 The temporary bridges across the Yser had been blown to bits during the barrage fire and the troops which eventually escaped across the river had to swim the stream.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, July 13.-The German at tack along the sand dunes of the Belgian coast on Tuesday evening was in nearly all respects a miniature of the British attack on the Messines ridge on June '. It seemed as if the Germans had studied that battle in de tail and planned their thrust wholly on the lessons learned. There was vast difference in the size of the two operations, however. for the German advance on Tuesday was limited to 14,200 yards, the British advance on Messines was along a ten-mile front.
 The depth of the two attacks was also a ratio of 10 to l, the Germans having advanced only about 500 yards, or to the British support line, where they now are endeavoring to entrench themselves. while the British have fallen back to the west bank of the Yser.
 The little battle on the sands of Flanders will live largely through the valorous defense of the English troops, who met the shock of the Ger man massed formation after having

 shipped by their families in
 Bisbee were received in the
 camp of the Industrial Work CTS of the World who are maroon ed at Hermanas. Word of the shipment was brought here by rail road trainmen arriving from the west. The trainmen are also auth ority for the statement that the l. w. w. men at Hermanas are heartily disgusted with their eX- perience and that many or them express the wish to be permitted to return to Bisbee and resume their jobs in the mines.
 Conductor Hart of the freight service of the Fl Paso & South western railroad, said IS l. w. w. men rode on his train from Bis bee to Hermanas today, the crew being powerless to dislodge them. Upon reaching Hermanas he in- tended to pass the station and back into a sidetrack for the pur- pose of unloading the provision car. His intentions were misin- terpreted by the l. w. w. men who cut the air and forced the train to come to a stop on the main line

 Chief of Police Zabriskie of Fl Paso was advised tonight the New Mexico authorities intended to round up the l. w. w. men at Hermanas and deport them from the state. The chief at once de- tailed men for duty at the bridges where the Southern Pacific and the Fl Paso & Southwestern rail roads enter Fl Paso from New Mexico, with instructions ro pre- vent any of the refugees from crossing the line. Two hundred volunteer policemen were sworn in and these will be detailed to help the regular officers. The chief said he would have the po- lice court in session at the city line and any I. w. w. members that sought to enter would be at once tried for vagrancy.

ARIZONA MUST FURNISH 3,472
 MEN FOR ARMY
President Formally Promul- gates Order Drafting ESQ., 900 Into Service-Drawing to Be Held Next Week.
CBy Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, July 13.-A formal order by President Wilson drafting 6SO 900 men into the military service under the selective conscription law was promulgated today by the war department, together with an official allotment showing what part of the total must be furnished by each state and territory.
 The only steps now remaining are distribution by the governors of state quotas among the local exemption dis tricts, and the great lottery, which probably will be held next week and which will establish the order in which the registrants are to present themselves for service or exemption.
 The men summoned for service will be used to fill the regular army and national guard to war strength and to organize the first 500,000 of the new national army The total of these forces will be 1,26s,9S5 men.
 Later another 500,000 will be called. supplemented by sufficient men to gill all reserve strength. The number Of men to be required rom the various states, the government placed on the debit side of the ledger, including the national army of 500,000, the entire national guard at war sterngth and the number of war volunteers needed April l. last, to bring the regulars up to war strength This gave a gross quota for each state. from which a net quota was computed by checking of the number of national guardsmen avail able for federal service and the num- Der of men given by these states to the regulars since April l.
 The total of the gross quotas is r. 52.9S3 men.
 Credit is given to the various states for total of 465,9S5 voluntary enlist ments in the national guard and reg ulars, making the total net quota for all states 6S7, 1000 men.
 The net quotas include: Arizona, 3472, California 23,060. Colorado 40.- O7S, New Mexico 22e2, Texas SO.542.
 The gross quotas include New Mex ico 1856, Arizont 447S, California 34,- 907, Colorado 49,792, Texas 4S,116.
 Arizona Responds Slow
 Comparison between the gross and net quotas shows what an ystate has done in furnishing troops by the vol untary system. A striking example from the top and below is Oregon and Arizona.
 Oregon gross quota was 7737 men. but the state has 46SS national guards men and has given 1874 war recruits to the regular army. In all. Oregon had credit for 6657 volunteers to ap- ply against her gross quota, which, with the adjustment factor applied to correct certain differences in the popu- lation estimates, reduced her net quo ta to 717 men.
 Arizona, on the other hand, with a gross quota of ATS men, has only 727 men in the national guard and has recruited only III men since April l for the regulars, making the states net quota, after adjustment, 3472.

Mines Show Big Increases in Working Forces = Guards Keep Close Tabs on All Strangers Entering City.

A UIET and peaceful. without pick cts or picketing. without fear or u favor, Bisbee awakened yester- day a new and better community. After nights rest. people of the War ren district, refreshed and heartened. returned to their usual vacations; business men to their stores. miners to their shifts. professional men to their office hours. women to their housework. A sordid, unliked job had been accomplished. Normal was a grateful condition for the District after a siege of over two weeks with I. w. W.'s and their creed.

Men and women can traverse the streets. even Brewery Gulch, and feel as though they had a right to do so. The men with the buckets can go to their work without fear of intimidation and with out fear of violence. Though there was regret felt that such stringent proceedings were necessary. the feel ing of relief that pervaded the entire community was open and undisguised.
 Mines Show increase.
 At every one of the local mines a great increase was registered in the working forces. On top the same con ditions held. Many Mexicans return ed to work for both companies. The operators will soon have their forces back on a normal basis and will be producing their regular quota of the red metal.
