WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.- It is definitely stated that the re- ports to the effect that the Rus sians suffered immense military re-

These reports cause deep concern as the Riga positions would un- doubtedly become the salient for drive upon Petrograd.

DISTRICTS QUOTA SHORT
BY 1O4 MEN AT MEADE
seventy-Four Colored Registrants
Failed to Depart With Con-
tingent Last Sunday.

With the Districts quota at Camp
Meade 104 men short. the police depart
ment IL preparing to start a roundup
Of seventy-four colored registrants
who failed to depart for the canton
ment with the colored division last
Sunday, and whose names have been
posted as deserters.
Announcement that only 33e out OF q
total Of 40 men ordered to report at
Union station Sunday had. actually
presented themselves was made today
by Acting Adjt. Gem Donovan for the
District. The fact that there was such
a large number of delinquents was not
noticed at the time. because of the tre-
mendous throng which packed the con-
course at the south end of the train
shed.
+ The crowd which gathered to give the
men a send-off is estimated to have
numbered more than. $4,000 people, and
to clear a passageway by which the
drafted men could reach the special
train waiting to. convey them to Camp
Meade. At any time 1t was estimated
that approximately 400 men got aboard
the train. but checking up of the
records since has revealed the fact that
the number was seventy-four shy of
the total number ordered to report.
Local boards today are preparing lists
Of delinQuents from their jurisdictions
which will be turned over to the police
department. The police. as rapidly as
they apprehend the men, will turn them
over to the War Department
Plans are being made today to send
thirty-f1ve more white registrants to Camp
Meade November 6. 1t is expected that
the Districts quota will be completed
early this month.
