Adjutant General COrrects
Error About Second Series
of Officers

Washington, July 5.-In view of the
tendency on the part of well qualified
men under 81 and men without military
experience to hold their applications
for the second series of officers train
ing CAMPS because of apparent mis-
understanding of the war department IS
memorandum of information, dated
June 4, 1917, General Mccain, the ad-
jutant general, issued the following
statement today:
."The statement that mature men
will be given preference for the second
series of officers training camps seems
to have been misunderstood in some
quarters. This preference will only
apply where qualifications are equal.
There is no intention to bar out appli-
cations by men under 81. In fact ex-
amining Officers have been instructed
to regard the ages of 25 to 35 the most
suitable.
"There is also some misunderstand-
ing about the necessity of previous
experience. The government
is looking primarily for intelligent and
forceful men, and military experience,
though desirable, is not strictly neces-
sary'
Applications for these camps will
close July Is.

Tuesday night attack on front of 12
miles between Jouy and Craonne was
Germany's greatest offensive action
on the western front this year. Head
quarters reports, assembled today Civ
ing data of attacking regiments and
losses gave proof to this belief of
French commanders today.
Notwithstanding the force of this
attack, the French checked it so com
pletely that the French commanding
general was able personally to remain
in the first line trenches during the
battle. The Germans did not capture a
single foot of French positions.
Moreover their losses were stagger-
ing.
After fighting all night Tuesday, the
French troops on Wednesday received
their chief commander Is order announc-
ing the arrival Of American troops in
Paris and ordering the French soldiers
to join in a general Fourth of July
celebration
The announcement was greeted with

Is Not Shifting Men.

London, July 5.--Germany has not
yet started to shift men from the west
ern front to the north to meet the
Russians, judging from evidence at
hand, Director of Operations Maurice
declared today
He characterized the German Of
fensive against the Chemin Des Danes
as an effort of the German general
staff to restore failing morale among
the troops, due to the long defensive
situation on which they have been
fighting.
According to General Maurice, it is
impossible to overestimate the moral
effect of the Russian offensive on
Russia herself and on the allies and
the Central Powers.
Since the start Of the war, General
said the British alone had TAX
en- 117,77e prisoners and had 51,0SS
of their own forces captured. In the
same period the British captured 739
guns and lost 1873 to the enemy, Later
