KENNEL HILL BATTLE
WITNESSED BY KAISER

By the Associated Press.

respondent at the front of the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger.
GAS early as 6 O'clock" the ccr-
respondent telegraphs. his majesty
posted himself on an advanced field
position which gives a view over the
range of heights southwest OF Ypres
and which in the early morning light
positively shook under the roar of our
tremendous gunfire.
This thunderous gun chorus, the
gleam of falling shells in the still.
misty uplands, the thick line of smoke
which lay like dark bars across the
horizon-all composed a stupendpus
picture of modern battle.
Every stage of the battle-the ad-
vance of the rolling curtain of fire, fhe
storming of the infantry and the ebb-
ing of the fire-could be exactly fol-
lowed. Gradually the wires brought
the first news announcing the SUCCESS.
"The emperor, who was surrounded
by the suite of the commander of one
of the armies. personally marked all
the results on the maps. He remained
absorbed in the contemplation of thfS
war picture until the late afternoon.
Then, returning to headquarters. he re-
viewed two divisions which had es-

CHARTERED Near REGULARS

CAMP MEADE. Md. April 29-Four
hundred selected men from the District

from the detraining station to head
quarters.
Col. Tenney Ross, hief-of-stafr,
stated that on account Of the fact that
most Of the barracks regular units OF
the Depot Brigade are filed to capacity
the new selectives will be quartered in
barracks adjoining the regular bat
talfons and regiments of the 10th Divi-
sion.
For two weeks the men will be under
medical observation: they will be as
strictly segregated for this period as

assigned to these commands. and will
Istill be regarded as a part Of the Depot
Brigade, which will classify them ac-
cording to their mental capacity, train
ing and experience, after which they
will be apportioned among the artillery,
machine gunners, infantry and the yari-
Gus corps troops of the camp.
Meade was crowded with visitors yes
terday. More than 10000 were in camp
by noon. They came from Washington,
Baltimore and Philadelphia, by trolley
steam train and automobile Every

camp, and the fair visitors took adyan-
tage of the fine weather.
The District Battalion's machine gum
ner in camp was to be seen riding about
everywhere on his long-eared Pegasus
otherwise known as the Missouri mule.
For some unexplained reason these
mounts are ridden with the cowpuncher
saddles instead of the regular Mcclellan
type used for the horses When prop-
erly trained they are said to make very
excellent saddle animals, although not
as swift of limb as the thoroughbred
horses. Most Of them are young and
frisky and give their riders plenty to
do when they meet or have to pass a
motor car.

II have no doubt that freedom will
triumph. But. whether it will triumph
soon or late, after a final supreme ef-
fort in the next few months, or long
drawn agony, depends on the vigor and
self-sacrifice with which the children
of liberty, especially those behind the
lines, dedicate themselves to the strug-
gle.
