French and American forces under

Daast wood. Significance is attached
to the capture of strong foothold on
the north bank of the Ailette by Cen
eral Mangin because of its Importance
to future movements.
At only one point did German re-
sistance result in stopping the forward
march of the British. Counter attacks
delivered in considerable force and
with determination compelled the
British to withdraw from Bullecourt
and Hendecourt. Here, however, there
is little to indicate that the Germans
have decided to make a stand. AT
other points of British attack the Ger
mans gave ground. Haucourt was
taken, together with several hundred
prisoners and ground was gained
south of Bapaume.

able bodied men between the ages of
IS and As. We now accept and full
fill the obligation which they estab-
lished, an obligation expressed in our
national statutes from that time until
now. We solemnly purpose decisive
victory of arms and deliberately to
devote the larger part Of the military
manpower of the nation to the &C
comp1ishment of that purpose.
1.-THE younger men have from the
first been ready to go. They have
furnished voluntarily enlistments out
of all proportion to their numbers.
Our military authorities regard them
as having the highest combatant quail
ties. Their youthful enthusiasm, their
viriIe eagerness, thier gallant spirit OF
daring make them the admiration or
all who see them in action. They covet
not only the distinction of serving In
this great war but also the inspiring
memories which hundreds of thou
sands of them will cherish thu the
wears to come, of a great day and a
great service for thier country and for
mankind.
HBy the men of the older group now
called upon, the opportunity now
opened to them will be accepted with
| the calm resolution of those who real
! ize to the full the deep and solemn
significance of what they do. Having
| made a place for themselves in their
| respective communities, having as
| sumed at home the graver responsible
| tiles of life in many spheres, looking
| back upon honorable records in civil
| and industrial life, they will realize,
as perhaps no others could. how en-
tirely their own fortunes and the for
| tunes of all whom they love are put
at stake in this war for right and will
know that the very records they have
| made render this new duty the COM
| rlanding duty of their lives. They
! know how surely this is the nations
war. how imperatively it demands the
mobilization and massing of all our
resources of every kind They will re-
| gard this call as the supreme call OF
their day and will answer it accord
ingly.
''OnIy a portion of those who regis
| ter will be called upon TO bear arms
| Those who are not physically fit will
! be excused: those exempted by alier
allegiance; those who should not be
relieved of their present responsible
/ ties; above all those who cannot be

as upon the fighting at the front But
all must be registered in order thai

and the will to win. our solemn notice
to all the world that we stand abso

He RAM MED A GENERAL
Italian Soldier Butted His Head Into
Austrian's Stomach-Captured Him.


Rome, Aug. IA (by mail. )-Giulio
Revi, an 1s-year-old volunteer from
Rome, has just been granted the SUI
preme distinction of the Italian gen.
eral staff-namely, a leave of absence
to visit his family in recognition of
military bravery-for having captured
an Austrian general.
That too much discredit should not
be attached to the Austrian general
for having surrendered without at
least having negotiated the privilege
of retaining his sword, it must be ex-
planned that the general surrendered
after Revi, converting himself into a
battering ram, plunged his head with
terrific force into the solar plexus of
the general. This left the latter with
out sufficient breath to open negotia-
lions.
Revfs deed was cited at the time in
the Italian official communiQue. He
was one of a patrol of eight "arditi
(volunteer soldiers who insist on push
ing constantly into. battle) who during
the Austrian offensive of June found
themselves suddenly in open battle
with sixty Austrians. Four of the
eight "arditi'' We're killed, and there
seemed little chance for the remaining
four when one of them, a young man
from Padova, suddenly shouted:
''Assaulting column, forward! De-
ploy and attack"
And the AustrianS Retreated.
The ruse was effective and the sixty
Austrians began a hasty retreat, a
somewhat aged officer with a group
of defenders remaining behind to COW
er the rear. At once the four re-
manning "arditi'' attacked this rear
guard, Revi picking out the officer
who appeared to be in command, and
dashing forward with full speed, with
his head low, rammed the latter into
the stomach of the Austrian officer.
A terrific hand-to-hand struggle
ensued. While Revi kept beating
down his prey, the three other "arditi''
engaged the officers who sought to
defend thier fallen superior The lat
| ter were facing certain defeat thru
superiority of numbers when another
group of "arditi" rushing up saved the
| day. In the meantime the young sol
| der from Padova whose ruse had
started the Austrian retreat was killed
Only when victory was completely
| won was it discovered that the Aus
| TRAN officer with whom Revi was still
| struggling was a general His injuries
seemed serious, and he was at once
rushed to hospital, where in spite
| of every medical attention that could
| be given him, he died a few hours
! later.
