Republican A. P. Leased Wirel
WASHINGTON, April 9. = Colonel
Roosevelt on his way home from Flor
ida made a flying trip to the White
House between trains today to con-
graduate President Wilson on his ad-
dress to congress. When he found the
president was at work in the execu-
tive offices he would not send in his
name but left his card with the chief
usher and rushed back to the railroad
station.
Before resuming his journey, how
ever, the former president dictated a
statement declaring Mr.. Wilson's mes
sage a great state paper and express
ing the hope that he would be allow
ed to raise a division for immediate
service at the front.
White House attaches We're greatly
disappointed because the colonel
couldn't wait to see the pre- dent.
Secretary Tumulty issued this state
ment:
we were pleased and gratifiod by
Colonel Rooosevelt's visit.

lHepupIlCdn A. r. Leased WlFeI
CHICAGO, April 3.-Democrats
elected their candidates in % of the 80
wards in the aldermanic elections here
today. The democratic gain was eleven,
giving them control of the city council.
Local option elections were carried
by the drys in a score of Illinois towns
today and Springfield barred saloons
from the capital of the state by a
majority of 45S votes rolled up by
woman voters to overcome a plurality
of 1877 for saloons given by the men.
Springfield is the largest city in Hi
nois to close saloons.
The drys won eight other wet towns
to their ranks. Two towns went back
to saloons after a period of prohibit
ton. A dozen towns voted to remain
dry.
Democrats elected a city clerk and
treasurer, the only two offices voted
for aside from aldermen.
James T. Igoe was elected clerk by
$4,000 while Clayton F. Smith had
plurality of nearly 10000 for treasurer.
In the eighteenth ward rioting re-
sulting in a Staying marked the days
voting. An adherent of Barney Gro
gan was shot to death by a follower
of John T. Tuohy.
In the first ward Michael "Hinky
LINK henld was reelected alderman
as a democrat. A report of the law and
order league said that in Kenna's pre-
cinct the election was fairly conducted
for the first time in ten years"
ST LOUIS, April 3.-Mayor Henry
w. Kiel, republican, was reelected
here today by majority estimated at
10000, over William c. Connect, his
democratic opponent The vote in pre-
cincts normally strongly democratic
showed gains for Kiel and the entire
republican ticket over that cast by
republicans last November.
Fourteen aldermen We're also elected
by the republicans.
The democrats made Americanism
an issue in their campaign, condemn
ing the republican city organization for
emitting a loyalty plank in their plat
form. Mayer Kiel replied by proclaim
ing his unqualified Americanism and
loyalty.

Will New Army Be Called Out, Says
Secretary Baker.

Washington, D. G., May ls.--In re-
sponse to a suggestion by Senator Jones
of Washington that the new selective
draft army help harvest crops, Secretary
Baker yesterday disclosed that it is not
expected to call out the first 100000 men
before Sept |, because of the depicted
state Of our supplies" and that there
will thereby be no "appreciable nterfer-
enee with the labor supply Of the colm-
try until that date"
After stating that the labor question
was receiving serious attention from all
departments, Secretary Baker wrote to
Senator Jones.
Owing to the depleted state of our
supplies it will not be practicable to call
out the first 100000 men to be raised
under the provisions of the bill now
pending before Congress until about
Sept. |, so there will be no appreciable
interference with the labor supply of the
country until that date.
"When these mensare called, they will
have to be continuously trained with
the colors until they are sent abroad. As
the period of training before they are
sent abroad will be at best all too short,
in justice to the men it must be inten-
siye and continuous"

HINDENBURG RETREAT
INDICATED BY FIRES
Village of Bullecourt Now
in the Hands of the Brit
ish and the Drocourt-
Queant Line of the Ger
mans Appears Doomed
Austrians Turn Upon ltal-
ians on the Is0nz0 Front

Bulecourt is finally in British hands,
and the Drocourt Queant line appears to
be doomed. The tremendous German sac
rifices proved in vain, and the flames
of burning towns behind their lines give
color to the reports that Hindenburg is
contemplating another strategic retreat.
Additional reports from the Italian
front emphasize the Importance of the
victory won by General Cadorna but also
bring word that the Austrians have
reacted. Apparently the usual period Of
counter attacks will follow the first sue
cessful assault on the Isonzo heights.
Probably the most important news from
Europe is the announcement that Japan
is going to take an active part in the
war. A japanese naval force has ar
rived at Marseilles to join the campaign
against the German submarines. espe-
cially to protect French shipping. The
dispatches state that this unheralded ac
tion by the allies Oriental partner raises
both political and military questions of
supreme interest, upon which, however,
there is no light at present.

NOT HALF SUBSCRIBED.
Liberty Loan" Is Victim of Too Ex-
cited Exuberance.

Washington, d. G., May lS.-Repre.
sentatives of the federal reserve banks
and treasury officials in direct charge OF
the task of floating the liberty loan vir-
tually were unanimous last night in the
opinion that a tremendous campaign
must be successfully carried on within
the next 27 days if the liberty loan is
to meet with the over subscription which
officials hope for.
Predictions that the big issue would
be over r-subscribed several hundred per
cent, made on the face OF the first re-
turns of the estimates of banks as 20
the probable amount they and their GUS
toners would take, have not material
lied thus far There is crying need,
in the opinion of officials, for the small
investor in great numbers to make felt
his power, and to bring the realization of
this home to the country a vigorous
campaign is being planned.
The impression still prevails in many
quarters that the liberty loan already
has been over-subseribed. This not only
is untrue, it was authoritatively said
last night, but probably not one-half of
the loan has been taken, including al
lowance for approximately S450000, 900
of treasury certificates of indebtedness
already issued. No figures of subscrip-
tions are being made public by the treas.
ury department, chiefly for the reason
that subscriptions center at the II re-
serve banks and that the campaign has
only been launched.
A large over subscription. officials feel.
is highly desirable in that it would show
in terms which could not be mistaken bv
Germany that the United States is in
the war to stay until Germany is de-
feated and that there will be no stinting

NEW CABINET
is COMPLETED
Government at Petrograd
Gives Evidence of
More Strength
SIX SOCIALISTS
TAKE POSITIONS
Some of the Russian Army
Commanders Recall
designations

Petrograd, via London, May ls.-The
formation of the cabinet, in which six
Socialists are included, has been com.
pleted.
The news yesterday that an agree
ment had been reached between the pro-
visional government and the council of
workmen's and soldiers delegates was
followed Unexpectedly last night by off
cial announcement that ministerial cri-
sis had not yet been settled. This morn
ing, however, it was made known off
cially that the formation of coalition
cabinet had been completed. The new
cabinet will follow the lines agreed upon
previously.
AS result of meeting in Petrograd
OF the commanders n-chief from all the
fronts except the Caucasus, Cen Brus-
siloff and Gen Gurko have withdrawn
their designations, and reports of fur
ther designations are refuted by the an.
nonncement that all the commanders
have decided to remain at their posts.
Thus the crisis in the army, which
formed an alarming accompaniment to
the political crisis. has been averted.
Discussing with the temporary govern
ment the serious condition of affairs at
the front, the commanders declared that
the unfortunate phrase "peace without
annexation" had found its way to the
army and was there translated into an
against offensive warfare. This
and other harmful doctrines pervading
the army, and the inability of the Off
GERS satisfactorily to explain them, had
ruined discipline and destroyed the au.
thority and prestige of the officers.

EXPECT GERMAN RETREAT.
Desperate German Counter Offensive Sc
Interpreted.

Paris, May ls.--The desperate Ger
man counter offensive, which has been
going on since Tuesday in the region of
laffaux, is considered in competent quar-
ters here as intended to mask further
retirement of the German first line on
other parts of the front.
During the last few days the number
of fires in villages behind the German
front, both north and south of st. Quen-
tin, has greatly increased. The town of
st Quentin itself, which has been grad
ually burning for the last few weeks, is
now overhung with heavy smoke clouds.
These facts are considered indications of
a retreat, being similar to those which
preceded the last retirement, in which
the Germans left vast area of devas-
tatior,

tary departments have designated the
sites.
Twelve of the camps win go to the
new southeastern department, command
ed by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, making
364 900 troops assigned to that depart
ment. Six camps will be established in
the central department six in the south
ern, three in the western, four in the
eastern and one in the northeastern de-
partment.
The building win be done by contract
under supervision of army officers. Col.
/. w. Littell of the quartermaster corps
has been placed in general charge of con-
struction.
In effect the project is to build 80
towns complete with all necessary equip
ment and facilities. 1t will require
100000 feet of lumber, which was
adopted because the price of canvas is
so high and the supply so short.
There will be 1000 buildings in each
eneampment. Each town will cover lit
tie more than square mile of ground,
not including the big tracts of land nee
esssry for drilling and military opera
tions during training. Modern plumbing
and sanitary arrangements will be in
stalled.
