Austin.-Texas became "bone dry"
state at midnight June %, when ap-
proximately $50 saloons closed their
doors under a statutory statewide pro-
hibition act OF the thirty fifth legisla-
ture. Eighteen hundred saloons had
previously been closed by legislative
act establishing ten-mile "dry" zone
around military camps and shipbuild-
ing plants. Under the 10mile law,
which became effective last April. the
sale Of intoxicants ceased in the prin-
cipal cities of the state. Saloons clos
ing last week were located in the less
populous districts.
Tho statewide prohibition act, il is
understood, is to be tested in tbs
courts as to its constitutionality, but
a decision is unlikely before fall be-
cause of the forthcoming recess of the
higher courts until October.

Washington. and colored
draft registrants Numbering 124.525
were summoned to the colors for gen.
eral military service in a call issued
by Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder. Mo-
bilization will take place at intervals
during July, starting with the entrain-
ment of 27,257 white men on July 5.
The latest call, combined with that
for 220.000 to be modified July 22-z5,
ordered by Gen. Crowder. and with the
various special calls previously issued.
will remove from civilian life during
July total of 367,961 men.
The call is divided into four sections
for entrainment purposes. From July

259 are to be entrained; from July 10
to 19, whites, 21,255; July 16 to 20, col
ored, $4,000, and from July 30 to 81.
colored, 25,011.
Although the order for 100000 men
probably will deplete the present avail
ables in Glass One in most of the draft
districts, it was pointed out that the

WRITTEN BY AMERICANS IN
OFFENSIVE.
AusTRIANs MOVED DOWN

With the American Army in France.
In an attack upon the German lines
ON the Marine front the American
troops extended their line northwest
of Bleleau wood, and ZIG prisoners had
been counted, together with number
of machine guns and other booty. Adj
ditional prisoners were coming in.
The Americans made an irresistible
rush for the complete clearing Of the
woods, in which it was learned the
Germans were still occupying a small
strip of the underbrush.
The attack was preceded by a 49,
hour bombardment from the American
artillery. German prisoners taken pay
tribute to the brilliant dash OF the
Americans, declaring the men in the
assaulting party fought like demons.
The Germans were virtually cleared
out of the Belleau wood several days
ago. but the discovery was made that
under cover of darkness they had
planted machine guns behind huge
holders in sunken roadway, in shell
holes and in trees in narrow area On
the edge of the woods.
1t was most difficult to get at them
in these positions, and SOME fierce
hand-to-hand fighting occurred
