over 200 registrants. The quota m
| Washington county had not been figured
at noon to-day. Capt Stephen Gushing,
who has charge of that work, arrived on
the | ocleck train TO compile the county
quotas. There were this morning 3Io
men qualified for general military service
in Washington county. just how many
of these and what numbers will be taken
in this call all depend upon the number
of agricultural and industrial claims
proved under recent regulation from
the war department AT least Washing
ton county. like some of the other coun-
ties, will be hit pretty hard. Probably
these men will not be called until after
the 4 for mechanical purposes are called.

JIM LOWREY IS
 KILLED WHILE
 MAKING PEACE
CBy Review Leased wire)

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 16.-James Lowrey, for three terms sheriff of Yavapai county, was killed and three other men wounded more or less se- riously by a man named Bassito at Verde, below Jerome, in a revolver duel early tonight, according to re port received by Sheriff W. H. Wilky, from the Yavapai county authorities. Bassito escaped heavily armed. Posses are searching the mountains about Jerome.
 Mir Lowrey, who for some time had been a special officer in the employ of the United Verde Extension Mine at Verde, was shot five times, death re- sulting immediately. The three men who were wounded during the fight were removed to a hospital at chrome They will all recover, reports from Prescott state MT. Lowrey, known over Arizona as Jim" Lowrey, was about 65 years of age. His last term as sheriff of Yavapai ended about twelve years ago.
 Bassito, according to adyices from Jerome tonight, first opened fire upon a Mexican and Lowrey sought to stop the fight with revolvers that followed. Several other Mexicans rushed into the fight. Bassito turned his revolver upon LOwrey and five bullets entered the former sheriff's body.

ALBANIAN CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, July IS. = While military critics regard the Franco. Italian offensive along the coast of Albania as of little moment. from g military viewpoint, some officials think it has political possibilities.
 The immediate purpose of the offen- sive is not yet clear. Some believe it is designed primarily for the psycho- logical effect upon the disadected sub jects of Austria-Hungary in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
 Reports reaching Washington from official sources indicate the success at- tained by the allied troops already have increased the hostility or the Jugo-Slavs in Southern Austria.
 A drive that could bring the allied armies in Albania into contact with the Jugo-Slavs might lead. not only to open revolt, but also to rebellion by disaffected peoples in ether parts of the dual monarchy.
 At the outbreak of the war the Jugo-Slavs in southern Austria and Hungary numbered more than 5000 Q 900, while the CzechO-Slovaks and Poles who have annoyed the dual mon dEGuls uullnNAGu Gu AlOAG AAlal AosNVOfoNN.
 Thousands of Jugo-Slavs who de- serted are fighting with the Italians while some 6O.00O CzechO-Slavs who either deserted to the Russians or were captured. are heading through Siberia to the western front to join in the fight against the teutons. Wheth- CT there is a serious intention of at tempting to effect a juneture between the allied armies in Albania and the Italians on the Italian front is not known here, but because of the great decrease in the two fronts it is not believed to be probable.
 Both the force from Albania and that from Italy, 1t is contended, would be welcomed by people hostile to the government and army of the invaded country, thus increasing the difficulties of the defense.

TWENTY DIVISIONS ENGAGED

PARIS. July 16.-About twenty en- emy divisions were engaged in the fighting between Rheims and Chateau Thierry and the same number between Rheims and Massigncs. Other disi- sions were in reserve and ready to en- ter the battle.
 All the divisions nave been identi- fled as representing the elite of the German army, showing that Germany on Monday delivered an extremely powerful effort All suffered heavily
 Prisoners say their officers assured them they would have an easy victory, asserting they would be opposed by troops in no great numbers and who were completely demOralized
 Never before were the enemy losses so high. Piles of bodies cover ihc ground The fighting of the Americans and Italians was extremely brilliant
 In the region of Prunay the heavy attacks of the enemy were repulsed outright The Germen losses at that point are estimated as 65 per cent of the etfectives engaged.

Marne is worse than an inferno"
 German tanks. which attacked north of Souain suffered heavily from the allied artillery. Many were destroyed.
 In a section of Champagne lying east of Rheims the enemy attack was broken in it's first stage. The point where the farthest advance was made was Prunay, where a small pocket 2OO0 yards in depth was punched out by the enemy.
 Facing this point is a hilly region, including MorOnyillers, Cormillet and other well known heights. On these were advanced positions of the French army lightly held The enemy pre- parations were taken by the allies to hold their main position. When inc attack began. the French fell back on these. and the Germans were un- able even with their best divisions, to make any impression on the defend CTS, except about Prunary.
 This small result, considering the na- ture of the attack. is regarded very -favorably by the allied staffs, while the French army holding this portion of the battle front displays the fullest confidence that any further attempts of the Germans here will meet simi- lar fate.
 Aviators flying over the German lines declare the German losses In this sector are tremendous.

where the enemy made immense en- deavors to advance as far as possible south of the Marne towards Mont mirail. which it was his intention to reach in the course of the first days fighting.
 The FrancO-Amercan resistance, however, prevented the Germans from executing this plan. The strength or their effort is shown by the fact that they engaged fourteen divisions-ap- proximately 170,000 men-in the first line in this part of the battle field.
 Behind these were probably four teen additional divisions, some of which. owing to the losses sustained by the men in the front line were com pelled to take part in the fighting
 On the eastern side of Rheims where tho Germans met such a severe check yesterday. they also had about four teen divisions in the front line with similar number in reserve. In cOnse- quence of the nature of the fighting there the Germans suffered terribly and their troops were obliged to halt for the purpose of organizing.
 Enemy activity to the east of Rheims was quite pronounced this morning. the heavy artillery being very busy. It appeared as though the Germans were preparing to renew the battle for Chalons, which. according to prls- cners. it was his intention to capture today.
 Some of the finest divisions of the German army have been engaged m the battle. those identified including the Prussian and Bavarion guard Sax ons, Silesians and Wurtembursers.
