DRAFT CALL NEAR
Wilson Preparing To Issue
Edict to Registered Men.
Predict 10000 to Camp by
May 1; 100000 by July 1.

Washington, April 5=President
Wilson is preparing to launch the sec
ond great draft of American fighters
He is expected to issue a procla-
nation this week notifying 100000
registered men that they must hold
themselves in readiness for service
The first great call to camps under
the second draft will approximate e
10000 men-to start moving the lat
ter part of this month. There will be
a continuous stream of men to camp
thereafter under present plans and
probably 100000 or 100000 will be
called before July l.
Orders for the mobilization of the
first large number of men of the sec
ond draft will go out to the governors
of the states very soon. Fifteen thou
sand men of the second draft are now
and the April call about to
go out will represent probably more
than the months proportion of the
100000 men who, it previously has
been announced, will be called during
the remaining nine months at the
year.

statement puts it. maintained in its
entirety. So far as the German object
south of Amiens, the railway to Cler-
mont, is concerned, the stupendous
German effort resulted merely in the
projection of the fighting front a dis
tance of probably not more than 1000
yards nearer to it, opposite Castel.
where the map shows the enemy still
nearly three miles away from the
railroad.
The British fought yesterday and
last night chiefly on their southern
front between the Luce and the
Somme where the battle front was a
continuous one, linking up with the
operation against the French. Here
the British were pressed back out of a
small salient that had projected in the
neighborhood of Warfusee-Abanco
just to the north of Marcelcave and
almost directly on a line east of
Amiens.
Germans Only Victory.
- This was the only advantage the
Germans were able to gain in this
whole sector after hours of almost
constant attacking in heavy force The
British recession was slight and the
line they now maintain runs east of
Villers- Brittonneux some 10 II miles
from the center of Amiens and about
nine miles from its outskirts.

French Gain at Many Points.
The French troops conquered the

of the town of Orvillers-Sorel. All
German efforts to dislodge the French
men were in vain.
