MANY DIVISIONS FROM EAST FRONT
 FIGHT FOR HUNS
Germans Enabled to Place 21O In West After Rus
 sia's Detection.

With the French Army in France, July 25-(By the Associated Press)- Owing to the defection of the Rus sians from the Allies, the Germans have been able to place 210 divisions on the western front this year. From January to July 24, just over six months, these divisions have been en- gagged about 430 times, so that each has been thrown into battle at least twice during the half year.
 With operations becoming more frequent this proportion is rapidly in- creasing.
 When the present battle began the Germans had 2S divisions on that part of the field westward of Rheims as far as Chateau Thierry. Now the front has been widened by the Allied attack from the latter city to the Aisne and the Germans have hurried more forces into the line, bringing the total now engaged on this part Of the front to more than 40 and placing a considerable strain on the enemy's re- serves.
 They still have reserve divisions concentrated at some places behind their lines. but many units comprised by these divisions have been sorely tried already this year and it is ques- tionable whether they are all suffii- ciently recuperated to participate in a new attack, should the German staff decide to order one to retrieve the de- feat of the Grown Prince.

TO SEND
 MEN TO ARMY IF STRIKE CONTINUES
War Cabinet Comes to This Decision Regarding Muni-
 tion Plant Conditions.
GOVERNMENT NOT TO
 WITHDRAW EMBARGO
Events Now Rest Upon Conference of Engineering
 Trades Delegates.

London, July 25-The British war cabinet has decided that if the British munition strike continues the strikers of military age will be drafted prompt ly into the army, accorsing to semi official statements in the morning papers. George H. Roberts, minister of munitions, gave hint of this in a speech in London Wednesday when he said that no young man had a right to exemption from military ser vice except on the ground that he was doing work more valuable than fight ing.
 The government remains firm in its refusal to withdraw the embargo which ostensibly is the cause of the strike, although it seems that in some instances the embargo is used as a pretext to cover other grievances.
 Events now are waiting upon the national conference of the delegates of the engineering trades which, it is understood, meets in Leeds today. It is believed in some quarters that a majority of the delegates will insist on a ballot of tn members before call- ing a general strike. This course is strongly supported by Alexander Thompson, Socialist and editor of the Clarion, who writes in the Daily Mail:
 ''It is unthinkable that the confer ence will assume the tremendous re- sponsibility of stopping the munition output of the whole country without a democratic vote by all the men and

FIRE ON US. SUBMARINE
 IN MISTAKE FOR U-B0AT
Submersible Operating In New England Waters is
 Damaged by Shot. NO ONE INJURED,
 REPORT DECLARES Craft Has Reached Port and Can Be Repaired In
 Short Time.

Washington, July 25 - Mis- taken evidently for the German submarine that has been oper- ating off the north Atlantic coast, an American submarine of the latest type was fired on and slightly damaged by an armed vessel in New England waters last Tuesday. No one on board the submarine was injured and the craft has reached port safely.
 The navy departments announce ment today did not reveal the iden- tity of the armed vessel, but it was understood that it was an Allied transport Unofficial reports were that the submarine had been running submerged and came to the surface near the armed ship. The latter opened fire and had scored hit be- !. fore the American craft made known it's identity.
 The scene of the attack was not far
 
 submarine recently appeared and when the American submarine came to the surface the captain of the Al lied ship assumed that it, was an en- emy vessel preparing to attack him.
 Only one shot hit the submarine which quickly made known its iden- tity when the Allied ship began tc fire. The shell struck on the deck near the coming tower, denting sev- eral plates. It was announced that the vessel could be repaired in a short Ntime.
 The navy department later issued this formal statement:
 "The navy department is informed that a United States submarine was fired on by mistake by an armed merchant vessel on July 23, off the American coast One shell penetrated the outer hull of the submarine. but did not explode. No material injury was done, only a small section ot shell plating being damaged. No one aboard was injured and the subma- rine proceeded to her base under her own power"
 This is the first instance of it's kind

LOCOMOBtLE BAND
 CHEERS DRAFTEES OFF FOR DEvENS
Immense Throng at Railroad Station to Say Good Bye
 Boys in Good Spirits.

About 1000 wives, children broth CTS, sisters and sweethearts crowded the west platform of the railroad station to bid farewell to relatives and friends who left for Camp Dev- ems this morning to train for the Ma tlonal Army of the U. S. A.
 Many were weeping while the ones they were weeping for stood by in good humor. The boys took it as 2 necessity and left the city in a good orderly way singing and yelling the latest patriotic and popular songs to the music of the Locomobile Band which rendered it's services for the occasion.
 Before the train pulled in the draf- tees were taken to the east platform while all others were made stay on the west side. There was no disorder of any kind. The train was sched- uled to arrive at S:56, but did no, pull in to the local station until about $50. On it were drafted men from Greenwich Stamford and Norwalk and they were also amusing them selves by singing and yelling. Al VI U IAA IAAC llICII were SlNeI flags, some American and others wer- of the Allies and the boys waved them for all they could.

DECISIVE TURN IS
 MARKED IN WAR FRENCHMAN SAYS
President of Chamber of De puties Army Committee,
 Sums Up Observations.

Paris, July 25-The army commit tee of the chamber of deputies has received very favorable reports from members with the armies in the field on the operations now going on. Rene Renoult, president of the committee. thus sums up the observations made
 The powerful German offensive, prepared in secret for more than q month and led by 50 divisions, was in a few days, almost in a few hours, broken up and then victoriously swept back. It is to the peerless valor of the French soldiers and their American, British and Italian com rades and to the science of the mili- tary chiefs who proved unquestiona ble mastery in the conception and execu- ton. of the operations that the results were obtained.
 This certainly marks decisive turn in the war, justifying the pro- found satisfaction and the great homes fsAt ey the army committee"

Stephen Horan of the firm of-Jas. Horan K Co.,, stated this morning there was a chance that some of the steamers coming across in August might bring a few bulbs.
 MT Horan also stated that the or der of the government which permit ted florists to have but 50 per cent. of their usual supply of coal would necessitate that his firm close up nine of it's 20 greenhouses, and he did not doubt but that the order would have much the same effect on the other florists here.
 He said that as many bulbs if they can be secured, as possible, will be started in cold frames and then late in the fall taken into the green houses. In this way the florists will be able to handle the bulbs if they get them. Bulbs are being grown in the South and California but the growers are not meeting with any great degree of success and they are more costly than those which are i'm ported.
 Some bulbs like the calIa lilies and fresias can be obtained in California and one of the big dealers in New York assured MT. Horan that he thought it possible to get Easter lily bulbs from Bermuda. The Japanese lily which is considered by far the better plant, will not be available this year.
 The coal situation and the war con- ditions generally have hit the busi- ness of the florists pretty hard as about the only use people are mak- ing of flowers this year is to send them to the sick in the hospitals Al the weddings now for the most part

 is heavily shelled daily and bombed by Entente air squadrons. With the French Army in France, July 25-(By the Associated Press)- Greater efforts than ever before have been exacted this year by German army chiefs from the troops under their command. Compared even with last year, when the fighting was very severe, all their divisions have been called upon to make at least a doubia effort. The correspondent is able to demonstrate the terrific nature of the task thrown upon the German sol diers by the desire of the German em- peror to crush the French and Brit ish armies before American troops ar rived in sufficient numbers to turn the balance.
 During last year the Germans pos sessed on their western front between 160 and ITO divisions. Most of these were engaged twice, and some three times, during the entire 12 months, having in the meantime been recon stituted.
