100000 MORE
MEN TO CAMP

CANTONMENTS.

Washington. Oct. 3.--About 200. .00l
men. representing the third increment
to the national army. today are on their
way to sixteen cantonments where al
ready half the 6S7 900 called to the col
ors by the president are mobilized.
Although today's quota should be for
ty per cent under regulations promul
gated by Provost Marshal Crowder. To-
cal conditions in the various states
have reduced the general average of the
increment to 20 or 25 per cent.
Coincident with the start of the third
division of the new National army for
the training camps today, the railroads
war board issued a statement in con.
nection with the part which the rail
roads have played in handling the big
gest troop movement ever attempted in
this country.
Including the national guard, the reg
ular army and the new National army
the railroads to date have moved ap-
|proximately 10000 soldiers from their
homes to training camps or embarka-

j. S. DESTROYERS
FAST BUILDING
IN ~ MONTHS THE AMERICAN
NAVY WILL LEAD WORLD
IN SUB KILLERS.

Washington. Oct. 3.-Such remark
'ble progress has been made in the
.ck building OF the immense fiotilla
10 American destroyers to cope with
the submarine campaign that the navy
department now Is assured of much
quicker delivery of the ships than was
contemplated at the last estimate. which
In itself. was far ahead OF the original
time.
Progress on the ships now building
and arrangements for others to follow,
IL was said today at the navy depart
ment, are such that the American navy
will lead the world with its destroyers
within eighteen months.
II is now certain that all destroyers
now building will be delivered ready for
duty I'm European waters early next
year Many of them had not been ex.
pected until the winter of 1918. APP
proximately ten months has been saved.
Full success of the project, however,
depends on the extraordinary powers
granted to the president in the bill now
pending. The administration measure
was altered In the house. The senate
officers consider vital to success. and it
is now i'm conference.
All new destroyers are of new de.
sign worked out by the navy depart
ment and showing radical changes from
any of these craft now afloat. The great
ma jority of them will be thirty knot
vessels of improved sea-keeping quail
ties, adding to their effectiveness as
submarine hunters. The first of the
new type has been tried out with re-
suits that amazed the officers who made
trial trips.
The rate of warship production in
the United States has been increased to
such a point that a greater amount Of
fighting tonnage is being produced in a
given time than has ever been achieved
before by any world power.

WAR SUMMARY.

We shall lombard Germany with
compound interest" Premier Lloyd
George is quoted in the London press
promising that Great Britain would
soon launch reprisals for the many
German air raids on England
The French reprisals, already under
way We're continued last night. French
airmen dropped bombs on the town of
Baden, some 55 miles beyond the French
frontier. More than seven tons OF
bombs also were dropped on various
military objectives in German.held ter
ritory.
Field Marshal Haig's dispatches
from the Flanders front have again be.
come laconic. the only recent break in
their terseness and brevity having been
in messages describing the furious Ger.
man counter-attacks which failed to
shake the British hold on the ground
won last week
The latest press advices from the
front. however. indicate that the Brit.
ish bombardment is being kept up with
the greatest intensity, hundreds of big
guns delugng the Germans positions
with high explosive shells. reaching far
to the rear and covering every ap'
proach to the German lines.
Along the French front. artillery
duels were vigorous at many points.
Activity was especially marked north
of Verdun. where. the French are ap.
parently preparing an attack to recover
few trench elements which the
crown princes troops retained when
their main attacking force was thrown
back yesterday north of Hill 344. A
German attempt to attack east OF
Rheims was broken up by French ar.
tilery.
The capture of Ramadie on the Eu.
pirates. west of Bagdad. was effected
by a surprise attack Of the British. They
outfianked and cut off the Turks, de-
feating them I'm a heavy engagement
and taking prisoner nearly the entire
garrison of Ramadie. An official an
nouncement i'm London Sunday. said the
Turkish commander Ahmed Bey and his
staff had been taken with his men and
that guns, arms. ammunition. stores
equipment and much other booty had
been captured.
