London, Sept 5.-Germany is prepar-
ing another Strategic retreaU" in
llanders, according to reports by allied
ayIators.
The new "retreat to prepared posi-
ti0ns as the German military staff
will probably announce it, will clear
western Flanders east OF Ypres and Dix
nude as far as the line between Cour-
trai and Thourout. If it is carried out
in its entirety, it will release almost
225 square miles of belgium from the
invader S grip.
Military experts here, basing theil
views on certain engineering works re-
ported under construction behind the
German lines, today suggested that the
Germans were preparing to open the
canals, dykes and rivers in all this ter
ritory, flooding it to impede the British
progress after the retreat. A large en-
gineering operation of this character
might shift a deluge of water as far as
the present British lines-from Dixmudt
to Ypres to Warneton. All of this
ground is flat and practically at sea
level. Many trenches are below sea
level.
On the Italian front, General Cador

Washington, Sept. 5.-The first
group of drafted men to train for the
battle against kaiserism passed from
civil to military life today.
Quitting the factories, stores and Of
fices, they entrained for cantonment
camps. Several thousand will be en-
route to the camp cities by night, while
others will follow until Sunday. The
second section of drafted men will
leave September 10 and the third in
crement October 3.
The single exception to this move
ment toward camp today was Maryland
District of Columbia and eastern Penn
sylvania men, delayed until September
10, because Camp Meade, Admiral, Mr.,
is not completed.
The country's railroads are giving
the national army the best facilities.
Where night journeys are necessary,
Pullmans were provided. Many troops
arrive at cantonment camps before
nightfall.
Spartan Life Begins
The little green notices calling Am
erica 5 selected sons to battle were
sent out early this week. The first to
90 reported to their local boards to-
day at an hour convenient to entrain-
ing time.
The new spartan military life of the
citizen soldiers began Immediately.
They went to camp without the little
comforts OF home they are accustomed
to--carrying only the barest necessi-
ties.
The quartermaster' department has
been working night and day to pr0vis-
ion the camps and gather equipment
for the new cantonment cities. The
first quotas-largely men with previ'
.ous military training-will prepare the
camps for receiving the thousands to
follow in forty per cent increments on
September 10 and October 3.
Were Well Looked After
While the new soldiers travelled
t'light" their comfort was not over
looked. Red Cross chapters at way
points served light refreshments and
emergency rations. Philadelphia alone
wired national Red Cross headquarters
that the city was prepared to feed l.
500 troops a day indefinitely.
Arriving at the camps in charge of
picked man of their own number, the
drafted squads will be turned over to
regular army officers for intensive mil
itary training. Uniforms and rifles will
be distributed at a later date.
Monday night will see the first 34,'
$50 housed in the cantOnment barracks
Daily until then more than 1000 cit
les and towns with local draft boards
will witness the farewells of mothers
sisters and friends as each squad en-
trains
Alternates are held in readiness by
each local board to fill the places OF
selected men failing to put in appear
ance before train time. When the first
five per cent are finally off, boards
will report "slaekers. If there are
anv they win be rounded up by the
police and military to face a charge OF
desertion.

Washington, Sept 5.-To offset the
menaeing possibilities in the Russian
situation and to force Germany into
peace more rapidly, the allies probably
will soon undertake new anti-Aus-
trian campaign.
Strong pressure is being exerted on
this government to declare war against
Austria and then to aid in downing her,
so that Germany would be without her
aid and cut off Turkey and Bulgaria.
Thus far, American officials, including
Secretary Lansing, have seen the rather
imminent possibility of war between
Austria and the United States, though
they have inclined to let Austria take
the initiative.
just what form the new anti-Austrian
activities may take is shielded as a mil
itary secret, though apparently it will
come by way of Italy or through more
forceful tactics in the Near East.
Meantime, allied diplomats are look
ing forward to post bellum territorial
lines. They declare that German autoc-
racy must be wiped out and that ma
tions must be allowed to develop along
free lines, without the threat of Prus
sianism upon them.
~y The Proposed Map.
This is how some allied diplomats
the French and British decline to dis
cuss the question-would readjust the
European map, according to reports
