PLAN FOR ARMY
CAMP DELAYED.
Washington Recruits for
Fort Meade Will Depart
September l9.

Washington's first per cent quota
for the new national army will not
entrain for Fort Meade until Septem-
ber 10.
The plans to have forty-seven men
depart for the cantonment camp on
next Wednesday were hastily changed
by the War Department yesterday and
the entrainment delayed a fortnight.
The cantonment camp at Admiral is
not read to receive the men, although
an army of nearly 5000 employees has
been rushing work on the necessary
buildings and preparing the grounds
for the soldiers,
The delayed departure will not
cause any change In the plans for
holding the parade and demonstra-
tion for the 1900 men called to the
colors. 1t will be held as scheduled
on Tuesday afternoon.
U. s. Needs Supplies.
In addition to delay on the COM
pletion of the cantonment camp, IL
Is understood that the War Depart
ment has not been able to get the
required amount of clothing ano
equipment for the 1900 men who will
eventually be training at Admiral.

the District have cancelled all health
and accident insurance policies on
men drawn.
In addition, companies writing in
dustrial insurance have increased the
rate on life policies from $50 to $50
per thousand. Lieut.. Lee, son Of
former Senator Blair Lee. of Mary
land. recently sought to take out a
policy for s25.eO0 with one of the
largest life insurance companies. Aftei
consultation with the home office the
company reduced the amount of the
principal to 5000 aid increased the
ordinary rate $50 on thousand So
that the annual premium amounts to
$3.50 per year. On this ba sis the COM
panies fix a standard that the risk
on an enlisted man is two and one
half times greater than under normal
conditions.
Under the terms of the health and
accident policies the companies main
tain the right to revoke them at any
time for sufficient reason and re-
fund premiums. Most of the large
casualty companies have already
adopted this procedure.
Colored men and white soldiers will
train at the same cantonment camps.
No provision has been made by the
War Department for separate train
ing fields or the segregation of
colcred troops. The colored men will
be assigned to separate companies
and will have separate barracks. II
is understood. however. that they will
eat in the same mess tent with the
white soldiers and drill in the same
brigades.

In Letter President Wilson Approves
Patriotic Movement.

President Wilson calls on the young
men of the nation, in a letter made
public yesterday, to serve their country
by joining the United States Boys
Working Reserve. He declares that II
is the patriotic duty OF every young
man between IS and p not now en-
ployed to devote his spare time to
some productive work and help sup
port the nation in the present crisis.
The letter was addressed to Secretary
Of Labor Wilson. under whom the
Reserve operates.
The Presidents letter follows:

appreciation OF the work undertaken

front and the maintenance of those
whose services are needed here. 1t
is a high privilege. no less than a
patriotic duty. to help support the
nation by devoted and intelligent work
in this great crisis.
Let me express the hope that the
young men of the country not now
permanently employed may eagerly
enter the Boys Working Reserve to
fit themselves by training and study
for good citizenship and productive
service. In this way they can show
themselves worthy OF patriotic fathers
who have fought for democracy in the

Embargo Board Halts Move
ment Of Large Grain Car
goes to Holland.

No grain will be permitted to leave
this country for Holland at the pres
ent time. IL was learned yesterday.
The agreement by which the Dutch
ships were to divide their cargoes be-
tween Holland and Belgium has been
cancelled by the Embargo Administra-
tive Board.
In making the announcement, the
Administrative Board made it plain
that the United States is willing to
feed the neutrals but that the needs
of our own country must be con-
sidered first. The same attitude is
expected TO be observed in dealing
with exports to other neutral coun-
tries.
In refusing licenses for the 100 Dutch
ships. already loaded with grain, the
Administrative Board made a counter
proposition that the vessels be un-
loaded. their cargoes taken over by the
United States at a fair price, and the
ships used to bring wheat and sugar
from Australia and Java.
The contention of the Administrative
Board is that Holland has a sufficient
supply of grain to last her for months.
probably well into December. The
United States. on the other hand. has
no. yet determined what her own

innate estimates, which tend to show
a depleted supply. Hence. it Is argued.
the best interests of both countries
can be best served by using the ships
now held up in American ports to
bring wheat from Australia and sugar
from Java.
Grain Has Spoiled.
Another fact entering into the
Boards decision is that a large pro-
portion of the grain on the Dutch ves-
sells already has spoiled to such an
extent that II is unfit for human con-
sumption.
Besides the 100 Dutch ships. there
are approximately fifty other neutral
vessels tied up in American ports
which likely will be put to the same
uses.
One question brought out last night
was what action would be taken by
the Administrative Board in the event
Holland refuses TO unload her vessels.
. possibility which it was admitted
had been strongly hinted at.

After checking the latest effort of the German crown prince in CNam- pagne, the French took the offensive and succeeded in strengthening out their line in the region of Mont HatN and Mont Carnillet. General Petain's men held to their gains despite four strong attacks hurled against them and which they repuIsed with heavy losses.
 Switching his attacking operations from the front north of the Aisne did not help the crown prince, as his effort in Champagne west of Mont Carnillet and southeast of Tahure failed as did his recent heavy attacks north of the Chemin des Danes
 General Petain responded to the German effort by attempting and sue ceeding in reducing salients in his line to the east of the scene of the Teuton attack. The French not only captured prisoners but beat off counter-attacks, showing that the Germans attached Importance to the French gains.
 On the rest of the French front and especially around the curve in the French line northeast of Soissons, Vio- lent artillery engagements are in prog Tess. To the north the British and Germans have shown little infantry ac

CONSCRIPTION DRAWINGS
 EARLY NEXT WEEK
Strict Silence Maintained as to the
 Method =to-Be-Eoiievyccs--

Gashington, July 6.-Se1ection day for the new national army is approach ing rapidly as the local exemption boards in the various states complete their organization. Indications are that the drawings will be held next week but no official statement has been made as to the war departments plans.
 Administration officials still main tain strict silence as to the method to be followed With the recent state ment by Secretary Baker that the drawings would be held in Washing ton, however, coupled with the stress laid upon the serial numbering of reg istration cards, the general outline of the plan is clearly indicated
 It is understood that it proposed to place a single jury wheel in Wash ing and one complete set of numbers.
 When a number is taken from the wheel the man in each exemption dis trict whose cards bears that serial number will be drafted. Thus as each number is drawn, approximately 30.000 men will be drafted. or one in each exemption district. If 100000 men are to be called before the exemp- ton boards in the first selection, which seems highly probable. only forty numbers would need to be drawn.
 There are numerous complications which must arise, however, and the method of solving them can be known only when the administration makes known it's plan in detail.

tivity outside of patron encounters and raids
 A great artillery battle is in progress on the front where the Russians made their sudden advance early this week. Near Zboroff and between Ziochof and Brzezany, in Galicia, the Russian and German guns are hammering the op- posing lines, and near Smorgen, north of the Pripet marshes, the big guns. too are active.
 Signs of a reawakening of activity on the front in Rumania are increasing and near Bialestchi German attempts to fraternize with the Russians were answered by the artillery. Northwest of Selo on the Carso. an Italian sur prise attack netted some gain of ground. Austrian counter attacks were beaten off successfully.
 Unofficial reports say that Dr. von Bethmann- Hol1weg, the German impe- rial chancellor, in his forthcoming speech before the reichstag will make such declarations ,as will serve as a basis for peace negotiations. The chancelIor's address was to have been delivered before the end of this week and its temporary postponement may have been caused by the sudden and unexpected offensive movement by the Russians in eastern Galicia
