U. S. to Send a Part of
National Guard to France
Within a Few Weeks
Br .4ssocinted Prcst

Washington, July 16.-Mobiliza-
ton of the National Guard for war
service began to-day. While no or
ders for embarkment of State troops
for France will be given until after
August 8, when the entire force will
be formally drafted into the United
States army, there are indications
that some divisions will be regarded
as ready to board transports soon
after that date.
1t is regarded as practically GER
tain that If the guard divisions are
sent to France at an early date they
will be equipped with French artil-
lery on their arrival there. Pre-
sumably their first war work will be
with the famous French "75's."
Departure of the guardsmen for
France, it was indicated to-day will
be- governed by the shipping prob
lem. War Department officials regard
many divisions of the State troops as
virtually ready now for the inten-
sive training behind the fighting line
in France which will prepare them
for their place in the trenches. There
is no reason why some elements
could not go forward at once except
lack of transportation and the SUBJ
marine menace.

Germans Make Series of
Strong Attacks in an
Effort to Break Lines
By Associated Press

Paris, July 16.-The Germans
made a series of strong attacks last
night between the Somme and the
Aisne and in the Champagne. To-
days official announcement says they
were repelled everywhere except near
Mont Haut, in the Champagne.
where they retained a few trench
elements.
The statement follows:
Between the Somme and the
Aisne the enemy delivered a series
OF Strong attacks, preceded by bonn
oal dments. Three attempts in the
vicinity of st. Quentin were broken
up by our fire. South of Corbeny
several detachments of shock troops
attacked our small posts. After a
very spirited engagement the enemy
was repulsed completely. For our
part we made progress south of
Allies and took prisoners.
In the Champagne, after a very
violent bombardment in the region
OF Mont Haut and Teton, the Ger
mans hurled important forces against
the positions We conquered on JULY
a.. Our troops resisted with indom-
liable energy and tenacity the at
tack of any enemy greatly superior
In numbers. At Teton the efforts of
the enemy were without success. The
attacking forces which suffered very
heaVy losses, were not able to cut
INTO our lines. At Mont Hout there
was violent action which continued
all through the night. The enemy,
VINO succeeded at first in recaptur-
ing a large part of the ground we
had won, was hurled back by our
troops in a brilliant countertattack.
Certain trench elements are all that
remain in the enemy's hands"

the departing men to pass before, as
they went to their train.

troopers to the gates, received a last
embrace and then hurried to the
bridge for the farewell look. AS the
cars carrying the soldiers neared
the bridge hundreds of women lean
ed perilously far over the guard rail
to wave farewen.
The boys showed their apprecia-
ton by cheers and salutes until the
train had disappeared into the dis
tance. There were a few tears, but
very few mothers could not restrain
their emotions when the cheers were
dying amid the rumble of the train.
