American Line UnbrOken.

With the American Army in
France, Saturday, April 13.-After
another night of terrific artillery fire
and bombardment with gas shells,
the Germans continued today their
efforts to drive through to the third
line of the American positions near
Apremont forest, northwest of Toul.
They made two attacks, both Of which
failed. The enemy's casualties in
the four days fighting is estimated
between 800 and 400. OF this num-
ber more than 100 were killed. Al
though the enemy wasted fully half
of his specially trained shock troops
in battalion of 500 men, he was
unable to penetrate the American
lines, which remained unchanged.

ers in Elighty. There is a sharp,
prickling sensation in the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through a radiator in the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmounted by a
vague horror Of the awfulness Of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection
that, perhaps I, sooner or later, would
be in such state and be brought to
light by the blow of pick in the hands
of some Tommy on digging party.
Several times I have experienced this
odor, but never could get used to 1t;
the enervating sensation was always
present. It made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory Of the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths OF pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be "up and at them"

MORE MEN CALLED.
Half Hundred Thousand Registrants
Ordered Up.

Washington, April 14.-Another
draft call for 49,S43 registrants has
been sent to governors of States by
Provost Marshal General CroWder.
Mobilization of the men is ordered
for May 1 and 10, the war depart
ment announced tonight, and they
will be sent to II forts and recruit
ing barracks, probably for training
with regular army units training
there.
The call increases to more than
100000 the number of selectmen or
dered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mobil-
lied under the original plan to call
100000 men this year over a nine
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gramme before midsummer.
Under President Wilson's determi-
nation to hasten the dispatch of
American troops to France to rein
force the British and French armies
bearing the brunt of the great Ger
man drives in Flanders and Picardy,
the whole programme of the army is
speeding up. Only a week ago Gen
eral Crowder ordered mobilization of
100000 selectmen for April 26 and
their movement to the National
Army cantonments during the five
days following.
Further announcements are eX-
pected to follow the return of Secre-
tary Baker from his visit to the bat
tie fronts. Troops now are moving
to Europe at rapid rate and this
clearing of training camps will per-
NIT of the calling of men much fast
er than was contemplated before the
German offensive made it imperative
to rush men to the battle fronts.
Although every State and the Dis
trict of Columbia are called upon to
furnish men under General Crowder's
latest order, nearly half of the 49,
843 men will come from seven States,
Illinois will supply by far the larg-
est number, it's quota being S.047.
Pennsylvania is next with 3,773 and
New York third with 3,542. Nevada
has the lowest quota, 49.
The quotas of Southern States fol-
low:
Alabama, 261; Arkansas, 500;
Florida, 265; Georgia, 316; Ken
lucky, 1926; Louisiana, 535; Mis-
sissippi, $40; North Carolina, 4S1;
Oklahoma, S46; South Carolina,
17S; Tennessee, 442; Texas, 1854;
Virginia, \756.
The army posts to which the men
will go are Fort Slocum, New York;
Fort Thomas, Kentucky; Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Georgia.; Fort Mcdowell,
California; Fort Screven, Georgia;
Fort Logan, Colorado; Fort Sam
Houston, Texas; Columbus Barracks,
Ohio; Vancouver Barracks, Washing
ton; Jefferson Barracks, Missouri,
and Jackson Barracks, Louisiana.

''This is a class in English CON-

At the next meeting one girl was
twenty minutes late. Professor
Copeland waited until she had taken

Brown answered quite gently.-Bos-
