BRITAIN PAYS HEAVY TOLL
Has Raised 100000 Men and Had
100000 Slain.

New York, Aug. 6.--Great Britain's
contributions to the success of the
Allies was made public here, on the
eve of the fourth anniversary of the
United Kingdoms entrance into the
war, by the British Bureau of Infor-
nation of the British War Mission.
Staggering figures that tell an elo-
quent story of sacrifice, heroic determi-
nation and accomplishment, are re-
vealed by the bureau, which points out
that Great Britain and her colonies
have raised 100000 soldiers, of whom
100000 have been Slain and 2,000,0 1000
are wounded or missing. England her.
self, 1t is said, has furnished 60 per
cent of the fighters and suffered 76
per cent Of the casualties.
II has been estimated, the bureau
says, that Britain has fought on IL
fronts during the last four years, in
cluding Belgium, France, Italy, Serbia,
Greece, Russia, Palestine, Mesopo-
tamia, China, and North, East and
West Africa.

SACRIFICE TOO GREAT
General Ludendorff Says 0biec'

Commander of German Army Main
tains Withdrawal Is Good
Tactical Move.

Amsterdam, Aug. Con July Is
the enemy evaded us, and we there
upon, as early as the evening of the
18th, broke off operations.
1T is always our endeavor to stop
an undertaking as soon as the stake
is not worth the cost. I consider IL
one Of my principal duties to spare the
blood and strength of our soldiers"
General Ludendorff, first quarter
master general of the German army
made this statement to an assemblage
of German newspaper correspondents
who were received by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and himself, accord
ing to dispatches received here.
y Declare Foch Failed.
Referring to General Foch, General
Ludendorff continued:
'Eis plan was undoubtedly to cut
off the entire arc of our front south ol
the Aisne by a break-through on the
flank. But with the proved Leadership
of our Seventh and Ninth armies thai
was quite impossible.
1--WE reckoned with an attack or
July Is and were prepared for 1t. The
enemy experienced very heavy losses
and the Americans and African aux
iary troops, which we do not under
estimate, suffered severely"

Wants Congress to Amend Law
Making Men From 18 to
As Years Eligible.
TO CALL YOUTHS LAST
Secretary of War Asserts Department
Has in Mind Simply to Secure
Large Enough Army to Con-
quer Germany.

Washington, Aug. Elm discussing
the war departments recommends
tions to Congress of draft ages from
Is to 45 years, Secretary Baker said
there was no intention of calling to
the colors youths between Is and 19
until the other classes have become
exhausted.
This policy was decided on, he said,
in order to give the youths an OPP
portunity to mature before they join
the army.
After formally announcing the new
draft ages, Secretary Baker said all
the possible combinations of age limits
were carefully studied and it was
found that to get the men into class
/ for the program proposed, 1S to As
was necessary.
To Hold Young Men.
He said however, that the bill as
read to Congress, will contain pro-
vision authorizing the president to
call men out of class l by classes ac-
cording to age, so that if it is found
possible the men between Is and Is
will be called out later than the older
men found eligible to class /.
The War department program, the
war secretary said, is purely mill.
tary one and cannot be called con-
scription of labor, although it natur-
ally will have the effect of putting
at useful labor or in the army all
able-bodied men within the age limit
as they finally viii be fixed by Con-
gress.
In recommending this extension OF
the age limits, Mr.. Baker continued,
the department had it in mind simply
to get for the army the number of
men believed necessary to defeat Ger
many.
Mr.. Baker gave it as his opinion
that so far, about 100000 had been
drafted out of class from the ex.
listing list.

Germans Extend Their Extensive
Retreat to Third Region, Evac-
uating River Defenses.
RESISTANCE ST|FFENS
Teutons Assume Defensive From
Rheims to Ypres and Withdrawal
Over Aisne River Is Forecast
Wide Area Threatened.

Paris, Aug. 5.--The Allied pur-
suit of the offensive continues
and latest reports are that only
few enemy troops remain south Of
the vesIe, says the Havas agency.
Allied troops hold the entire
southern bank of the vesie be-
tween Fismes and Rheims. Stub
born resistance was made by
PrussIan and Bavarian guards be-
tween Muizon and Champigny,
but they were forced back, suffer-
ing heavy losses.
London, Aug. 6.-Weakened by the
defeat suffered on the Soissons-
Rheims front, the Germans apparently
are preparing to assume the defensive
on the front from Ypres to Rheims.
Southeast of Amiens on the old
Montdidier sector the Germans have
fallen back across the Avre river over
wide front, while northeast of
Amiens, in the region of Albert,
similar retrograde movement has been
made across the Ancre. The German
official communication in admitting the
withdrawal near Albert, declares the
maneuver was carried out without in
reference by the British.
Yanks Take Fismes by Storm.
Between scissors and Rheims the
Vesle virtually has been cleared of
enemy troops and Fismes is in the
hands of the Americans, having been
carried by storm. Fismes was. Ger
many's great ammunition and supply
depot, midway on the railway between
Scissors and Rheims.
French Cross Aisne.
West of Rheims the French have
made important gains and in the re-
gion of scissors the French are north
of the Aisne. The enemy resistance
apparently has been growing stronger
ever the Vesle is in food and as large
swamps line it's course west of Rheims
1t is possible the resistance may be
due to the inability of the Germans
! TO move to the north bank.
Allied troops, having fiattened out
the Marine pocket, have not advanced
so rapidly during the last AS hours.
The leading units keep in close touch
with the Germans, but 1t is probable
that heavy artillery will have to be
brought up If the Germans persist In
trying to hold at various points along
| the Vesle.
Further German Retreat Seen.
There is little doubt i'm Allied capi-
tails that the German crown prince
will retire to the north of the Aisne
His resistance to French pressure in
the Rheims region not unlikely is for
the purpose of holding the Allies from
breaking through and also to prevent
them from getting between the Vesle
and the Aisne before he can get his
troops to the northern stream.
Foe Abandons Two Rivers.
British troops now hold Hamel and
Dernacourt on the west bank OF the
Ancre and the Germans are to the east
OF the river At Albert, where the
Ancre divides the town, the situation
is not clear.
From Mesnil ST. Georges, west of
Montdidier, to Braches, the Germans
are retiring across the Avre. Their
retrograde movement already has av.
eraged two miles on a seven mile
front. The French hold Breaches. They
have penetrated into Hargicourt and
are on the outskirts of Courtemarche
