ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR

Rutland, Sept. 27--The patriotic
meeting held under the auspices of
the Greater Vermont association and
the Vermont committee of public
safety opened here this afternoon.
Frederick H. Babbitt, president OF
the Greater Vermont association pre-
sided. The address of welcome was
given by Governor Graham, and an
address was made by James NJ Beck.
There was a large attendance from
all over the State.
The following personal telegram
to Governor Graham was read from
the platform
Washington, DC. Sept. 26, 1917.
Honorable Horace F. Graham,
Governor Of Vermont
Montpelier, Vermont.
"By the campaign which your meet
ing today initiates, the people of the
United States are to enlist them
selves in a great cause of universal
service, each household and each IN
dividual making some small sacrifice.
Worldwide interests are to be
served; nations in distress are to be
saved from starvation and the armed
forces of our allies, holding for us the
battle lines, are to be sustained by
this campaign. We are to show that
the steadfastness of free people is
more potent than imperial will. If
we do not. then our faith in democ-
racy cannot stand.
"The nation expects Vermont to re-
spond with characteristic sturdiness
to the governments appeal and hui
manity's cause

SURE TO CALL
MORE NAMES
UNDER DRAFT
Not Enough to F i'll the Quotas
Wanted
DATE NOT ANNOUNCED
It was Intended to Raise 1000 Men
BY the Draft But the Total Is
Far Short.
DATE NOT ANNOUNCED

More of the drafted men will have
to be called to fill the quota in this
and other districts according to re-
ports coming from Washington.
The government set out to raise
$4,000 men by the draft and actually
called more than that number, bat
the actual result is many thousands
less.
A few from almost every district
are rejected by the army surgeons
and this alone in the aggregate is a
big total. Several thousand more arc
already enlisted but failed to send
their papers to exemption boards and
so did not get their names off the
draft list. In the whole country not

The shrinkage from all these
causes is enough so that further calls
will have to be Issued in almos. every
district though the number will not
be large. A Washington dispatch
dated last night is as follows:
Washington, Sept 26.-There is
little doubt now that large defc
iency of men will be shown when the
first increment of the national army

must be brought up to war strength
and several special services forces OF
ganized out of this force so the mum
ber of drafted men remaining at the
cantonments hardly will be sufficient
to organize the 16 National Army di
visions at full strength basis
Whether incomplete divisions will bt
formed or a call for more men will
be issued has not been indicated.
The fighting strength of the new
division is now fixed at 27,500 men
The II guard divisions on that bash
will have a total strength of 467,50i
men. The guard probably brough
into the Federal service a total o
not more than 100000 men, possibl,
less. 1t will take therefore, at leas
l675OO National Army men to fill VI
the guard divisions Another 100000
of the National Army will go to tn,
air service and certainly as man.
more to other special services. Tha
would leave not more than 919,5O
men to form the l6 National Arm,
divisions which should have an ag
gregate war strength of 100000.

was dug is mystery.

GREAT EFFORT
EAST Of YPRES
Captured German Works and
Took 1000 Prisoners
GERMANS ADMIT LOSS
Battle on a Big Scale in Flanders
and British Made Advance But
at Severe Cost.
GERMANS ADMIT LOSS

London, Sept, 27-Another heavy
attack was delivered by the British at
daybreak today against, the German
positions east of Ypres, and early re-
ports showed that the assaulting
troops had pushed the enemy out of
many important positions. The Of
fensive was started along the major
portion OF the line that the British
reached in last Thursdays battle, ex-
tending from east of st. Julien to
southwest of Cheluvelt.
Along the northern half Of the
line of attack the British success was
marked, but meager details have been
received from the sector OF Polygon
wood and south of that place. On
the north an advance OF from 1000 to
1900 yards was made quickly at num-
erous places, and it was reported that
strong British troops were engaged in
fierce fighting only few hundred
yards west of Zonnebeke. The Ger.
mans are resisting desperately, and
along front of about 1000 yards
astride the Ypres-Menin road terri
flc struggle has been proceeding.
The most important points involved
in the new offensive, as was the case
six days ago, lie directly east of the
city of Ypres between the Ypres
Roulers railway and the Ypres
Henin highway. Here are situated
those strongly-held elevations that
still remain to the Germans out OF
the numerous ridges and forests
which formed vital part OF their
defense in this section OF Belgium.
Last Thursday they suffered 6
crushing blow in the loss of such
strongholds as Anzac, Nuns wood
Glencorse wood and Inverness copse
and now an ever-rising tide is reach
ing out for still more. Australian
Scottish and English troops this
morning were pushing out into di
ficult country over ground still sod
den with rains and floods, among con
crete and steel redoubts heavil!
armed with machine guns, over eleva
tions and through bits of wooI
choked with rapid frers. They nigh
fail in their object and still have GOV
cred themselves with glory.
