eRlTAINs PART AGAINST KAISER.
In Four Years England Has Raised
100000 Soldiers.

New YOrk.-Great Britain's contribu-
ton to the success of the allies was
made public here on the eve of
the fourth anniversary Of the United
Kingdoms entrance into war, by the
British bureau of information of the
British war mission.
Staggering figures that tell an elo-
Quent story of sacrifice, heroic deter
minatiOn 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,OOO,0O0
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.
1t has been estimated, the bureau
says, that Britain has fought on sew
enteen fronts during the last four
years, including Belgium, France,
Italy, Serbia, Greece Russia, Palestine,
MesOpOtamia, China, and North, East
and West Africa.

'SO|SsOMS IN HANDS
OF ALLIED FORCES
CROWN PRINCE ON RUN, BEING
RELENTLEsSLY PURSUED By
VICTORIOUS ARMY.
Americana Took Prominent Part In
Dash Into Scissors, Advancing
Breast to Breast with PoiIus In
Successful Counter Drive.

Paris. - Friday, August 2, may be
noted in the Crown Princes calendar
as one Of his most unlucky days, for
1t was on that date that the allied
forces drove his gray-clad soldiers
from Scissors. Not only is Scissors In
the hands of the allies, but Villa-en-

west Of Rheims, has been smashed out

have been thrown back there. Thillers
and Gueux are no longer theirs.
The allied line Friday evening ran
from POmmiers to scissors, thence to
Belleu, the valley Of the Crise, Chac-
rls and Arcy-St. Restitue, through the
center of the forest of Rheims to
Largery, Lhery and Tramery. North
of the last named three places French
cavalry had advanced about another
mile to the Bots lie Nome and TreslOn.
BrOuilett was still In the enemy's
hands, in flames, and further east,
near RHEIMS, ThillOis had been taken.
Americans took prominent part in
the dash into Soissons-the greatest
surprise of the whole battle, not only
to the allies, but to the Germans them
selves. 1t was the Yankees who. on
July 10, advancing breast to breast
with the pOilus, chased the Germans to
within mile Of the city, that helped
storm 1t Friday.
Not only great strategical and tao
teal victory has been won in this, the
most successful day of the whole
cOunter-drive, but smashing moral
blow has been struck. The loss of
scissors cannot be camouflaged as
could the strategic retreat" from the

Be Carried out as Rapidly as
Possible by the Allies.

Japan, the entente powers and Ameri- Z

Japan has found acceptable the Am.
erican proposal, which primarily looks
to the aid of the CzechO- Slovaks. now
operating IN Siberia, and after ex.
changes between Toxic ana Washing

points and removed any possibility of
future misunderstanding, complete

Last week intimatiOns were given in
official quarters that the president was
soon to issue statement explaining the

patton in the expedition to give mill
tary aid to Russia. When, however,
the japanese government found it nee.

that satisfactory understanding has

Consequently, all that it is possible
now to say is that in the beginning at
least, the International agreement must
find its expression in combined mill
tary activity, and cable advices have
recorded the gathering of small bodies
of entente troops at points in China
convenient for dispatch into western,
Siberia.
PaOkuci-Ching, the provincial COVER
nor at Sci Lung King has been select
ed to command the considerable body
of Chinese troops which has been
gathered in Manchuria, and it is under
stood that his force will act under
the direction of the japanese COM

STATES CALLED ON
FOR WAR WORKERS
STEPS TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT
TO MEET SHORTAGE OF
LABORERS IN NATION.
Quotas Of UnskiIled Labor to be
Furnished by Various States During
Next Two Months Announced
BY Secretary Wilson.

WashingtOn.-AllOtm of quotas
Of unskilled labor to be furnished by
the various states to war industries
during the next two months under the
system of government recruiting put
into operation on August under the
United States employment service were
announced by the department Of labor.
BY assigning quotas of unskilled labor
ers to be furnished in each state, the
employment service took the first step
in meeting the shortage of common
labOrers estimated by reports received
Thursday as approximately 100000.
The announcement Of the state
quotas followed a conference here of
representatives of a dozen war indus
tries with officials Of the department
Of labor. The estimated labor needs
Of each Of the Industries was submitted
by the representatives and these esti-
mates will be used in apportioning the
first quotas.
Among the state quotas announced
are the following:
Arizona, 1850; California, 21,555
Colorado, 5175; Idaho 11,O35; illinois,
4O,2SO; Iowa, 5SO5; Kansas, 5175
Minnesota, 94O5; Missouri, 12,915
Montana, 5000; Nebraska, 4185; Neva
da, $40; New Mexico. 5S5; New York
sc, 400; Oklahoma, $3.50; Oregon, 441O
Pennsylvania, 42,57O; South Dakota
1850; Texas, 1890; Utah, 2115; Wash
ington, 11,34O; Wisconsin, 1886; Wyo
ming, 800.
The quotas, it was said, are the ne
requirements of the various war indus
tries and do not make allowance TO-
extra needs or for labor turnover. Com
plete returns of the labor needs are ex
pected by August Is. and when the es
Inmates made ut that time are tabulat
ed, supplemental list of quotas viii
be issued. State directors of the employ
ment service were instructed t
begin Immediately the apportionlng Q
the state quotas among the local dl:
tricts.
In the industrial states the quota
announced Thursday average about
per cent of the estimated number {
men not in military service or alread
engaged in war work, agriculture, mil
ing or transportation. In western an
southern agricultural states, the ave
age percentage is somewhat highe
as allowance has been made for until
ed labor needs.

SEVEN MILLION MEN
AVAILABLE FOR ARMY
UNITED STATES ASSURED LARG.
EST Reserve ARMY EVER
ASSEMBLED IN HISTORY.
Result Of Extension Of Draft Ages Be.
tween 70 and IS Will BE to Secure
to Nation Over Four Million Men
Who May Be Sent to Front.

WashingtOn..-An army of 7,OOOOOO
fighting men will be one result Of the
extension Of the draft ages between Is
and As In the opinion Of war depart
ment officials. This is the minimum
figure, and 1t means that every man
of the seven millions will be Of the
type and physique Of those now on the
battle front in France.
Military men believe the class Of 10
to 20 will yield 2,O0O,O0O young men.
From the class of II to 81 the country
has already taken 3,O0O,OOO youths Of
the best soldier material in history,
almost all Of whom are now in France.
The class Of 81 to As Is set down for
another 2,OOO,OOO men.
Under the present plans, which pro-
vide that the boys Of from 10 to 20
shall be trained here, the United States
will have the largest reserve army the
world has ever seen.
Limit 10 Lifted.
In one respect the tremendous fig
ures recall President Wilson's Inter
rOgatOry answer" with reference to the
army when he said:
why limit 1t to 5,OOO,OOO?
They mean the possibilities of our
army are practically. without limit.
The 100000 could be increased to
eight, nine, ten, eleven, or even twelve
million II need be.
One war department estimate fixes
as 100000 men the number who will
register, providing the extensions are
approved in the present form
Through comparison based on the
number Of men registered in the vari-
GUS states at the time of the draft, an
estimate has been obtained Of the
state quotas in the new draft.

London.-The German editor Of the

that million American troops are
now in France; but this fact, he says.
Is due entirely to Hindenburg's prear-

troop ships to cross the Atlantic I'M
molested by German submarines.
Hindenburg, he states, is waiting until
the Americans suffered their first mill
taty defeat on the French front, In
order to form formidable barrage of
submarines In the Atlantic, thus cut
ting Oft their communications from
America and starving out the Ameri-
can army In France.
