War Departments
Instructions to the
Adjutants General
A Routine Measure and Should Not Be Con-
strued as Meaning Imminent Mobilization

Washington, March 16.-In prepara-
ton for any demand upon the army
that may grow out of the German
crisis, the militia bureau of the War
department has sent precautionary in
structions to all state adjutants gener-
al outlining the plan to be followed in
the event of the calling out of the ma
tional guard for federal service
The intention had been to take this
step quietly and without publicity, but
reports from various points indicating
that it was being construed as mean
ing that mobilization was imminent
caused department officials to announce
the instructions with the explanation
that they constituted purely a routine
measure of preparedness necessary in
order to prevent, if a call should come,
such confusion as attended the as
sembling of guardsmen for border SER
vice.
No Warlike Step
In this connection it was pointed out
that the government is going to con-
siderable expense to demobiliZe regi-
ments which are returning from the
border and which would be held in the
federal service if another demand for
their services were expected immedi-
ately. 1t was reiterated that the policy
of the administration in the present
status of the crisis was to make no
move that could be construed as a
warlike step.
This policy is understood to be the
reason that mobilization Of the navy
has not been ordered. Many naval Of
ficials have favored that step, but it
has not been approved by the admins
tration.

BULGARIANS EXPECTED DEATH AT HANDS OF

 Being Bayoneted.
(4ssociot.d PrssSl

LONDON. Oct. 9.-As evidence that the Germans have taught the Bulgar- ians that their lives will be forfeited if they are taken prisoner by the Brit ish. the following extract from let ter by a British officer on the Saloni- Xii front is published by the Daily Tel egraph-
 When we rounded up sixty Bull garians in an attack recently the poor wretches were utterly terrified Two or three tried to drown themselves in a pool while others knelt on the ground making the sign of the cross and waiting an assassins bayonet thrust or worse.
 One who was real sportsman kept his head and made a desperate effort 10 escape, very nearly getting shot until he saw it was useless, and fling ing down his rifle, surrendered to an officer. Beside this officer Tommy stood watchfully in case the Bulgar was mp 10 any nastry tricks, and the latter seeing this attitude and taking him for his appointed murderer. with dramatic gesture threw back his head and barred his chest He opened his shirt with both hands. then faced the soldier with the bayonet whom he supposed to be waiting for the officers word to run him through.
 "Tommy's method of easing the ten, sion was rapid. He brought out his nacket of cigarettes and offered one to the Bulgar.
 'Up to this moment the Bulgar had been as brave as a lion, but the offer of the cigarette in place of the end os the bayonet was too sudden a change in his outlook He gave a gasp and sat down trembling, unable Q light the cigarette at the match which the soldier was holding ready for him."

STATEMENT GIVES
 OUT CONDITION AT
 FRONT AS THEY ARE
Most of Troops at Front Are British As Casualties Show
 No Idle Armies There
(AsSoctdtGL Pressl

LONDON, Oct. 9.-(Correspondence ot the Associated Press)-Reports said to be prevalent in America and
 elsewhere that troops from the Brit
 5h dominions are used more freely on
 he Western front than are those
 from the United Kingdom, are denied
 in authoritative statement" publish
 cd by Reuters.
 'The proportion of casualties on
 the Western front is actually higher
 9mong the troops from the United
 Kingdom than among those of the
 dominions,' says the statement. Fig
 ures showing the property of divisions from the dominions and from the Unit ed Kingdom employed in the battles on the Somme, around Arras, and Ypres and at Messines, are given to show that troops from the Mother ies in the ratio of from two to one to five to one.
 "The casualties also are compared showing, according to the state ment. that those of the United King dom troops have been higher than those of the troops from the domin-
 ions
 Clearly there can be no question
 that the 'motherland' troops have been spared at the expense of the col
 0nials, adds the statement. "On the cthe contrary, the evidence points to
 the fighting having been shared very equally between the available troops irrespective of the part of the British Empire from which they come" Assertions that large numbers of trained soldiers fit for service are re- tained in .idleness in the United King dom also are denied
 In all the actual theatres of war, the proportion of troops from the eMotherland as compared with those CT the dominions is between five and six to one, that is "of every six Brit ish soldiers serving at the front, at least five have been recruited in the
 United Kingdom"
