has upon neutrals. 1t is generally
recognized. he says, that the longer
the campaign continues, the fewer
friends Germany will have after the
war.
This consideration, together with
the thoughts of many billions which
another six months war would cost,
were the two principal factors which
contributed to bringing a majority of
the +Reichstag into line upon a bid
for immediate peace. The correspon-
dent says that it is generally admitted
that the effect of the campaign has
been miscalculated, not regarding the
amount of tonnage destroyed, but as
to the time required to make it's ef-
feet felt in England. The German
people are still convinced that it will
succeed eventually If given time and

FEHNF .fr|.fH - bEtL ~
Washington, July 25.-The second
increment of national guard troops
called into the federal service
today.
All troops from twenty states came
under President Wilson's proclama-
ton, preparatory to mobilization in
southern training camps to be equip

) The remainder of the state forces
from. far& western and southwestern
states will be taken In August s., when
the draft. clause Of the national de-
Tense act will be applied to the entire
force and the guardsmen will cease
to have any connection with the state
authorities for the period Of the war.
The first increment, which included
the New York and Pennsylvania di-
visions, was called out July Is, and
has been held at state armories for
preliminary equipment or started
south to the training camps. The
same process will be carried out with
the me- called out today and the fed

The first federal orders to be re-

Private Merwyn Hanson. who have all
been made ~sergeants, and Privates
John A. Bennett, Robert B. Rowe,
Earl Nelson and Harry Thomas, who
have been made corporals.
All of h young men who received
promotions served on the border and
are, considered among the most cap
able members of the contingent. Sew
eral other promotions probably will
be made in the very nea future, as
porals are needed. Company M, at
war strength, is allowed IT cor
porals and IL sergeants.
During the past few days the ranks
have been rapidly filed with recruits,
and early this afternoon only three
more men were needed to bring the
contingent up, to full war strength.
The machine gun company needs but
"a few more, and 1t is expected that
these will have enrolled within the
next few days.
A big squad of .'raw" recruits were
drilled today at the armory by COM
pany officers. Considerable time Is
being spent in teaching the beginners
and 1t Is expected that the new mem
fbers will soon be as efficient as the
old guardsmen.
Every member Of both companies
who did not serve at the border was
innoculated today by Captain Meade
and Lieut.. McFaul Of the officers
training camp at Fort Riley.
Captain Oscar Holm stated today
that he probably would recruit the
company over war strength, in order
pany up to the required number after
those who failed to pass the physical
examination had been eliminated.

Calling up men for physical examlna-

Meanwhile details Of the machinery
for actually calling the accepted men

err has already ruled that the claim
Of. the army attaches to any registered
man as soon as the local selection
board shassposted him as accepted and
from that time on, unless exempted,
he will be subject to military law and
the articles Of war. Failure to appear
when called will bring the military
forces of the provost marshal general
in. search ofFthe3 missing man and he
will pc tried for any violation of req

ruling was necessary inai order to en-
