COMPANY c. MAY Be
CALLED TO SERVICE
MISSOURI STATE GUARDS ORDER
ED TO PREPARE FOR SERy-
ICE ON THE BORDER

! There is strong probability that
the Idaho National Guards may be call
ed into service if conditions grow more
serious along the Mexican border. 1t
is reported that Mexican troops are
being massed along the international
boundary and that raids have been
made into the United States, where
cattle have been stolen to feed the
soldiers. Missouri guards have been
called to go to the border and it is
surmised that those of other states
may be called. Every member of
Company c is urged to be present at
drills and get into condition if the
company should be called The serv-
ices of this company may not be re-
quired but it is the duty of all mem
bers to get into condition to answer
the call if it should come. The fol-
lowing despatch from Memphis, Mo-,
tells of the order received there:
Word was received in Memphis on
Tuesday that the Missouri Home
GudTuS ndQ Tcc6lpou OTucTS u go "
the border for patrol duty. A tele-
phone message to Lancaster con-
firmed the report. This order will re-
quire the local company to recruit up
to $50 members. There are about 65
members enrolled here at present
The Kahoka Free Press in mention
ing the order received there says:
capt P. I. Wilsey received notice this
for the Home Guards to go
to the border. but the local company
must recruit up to $50 before they can
CO. There are 54 member at present"
It is surmised that this order to |
send Home Guards to the Mexican
border is occasioned by the urgent nee |
essity of rushing the regulars to
France All guards who have taken
the federal oath will be required to
serve under this CALL

GERMANS UNNERvED
BY AWFUL LOSSES
OFFENSIVE IN WEST AT DEAD
LOCK AND ENEMY STRONGER
THAN GERMANS THOUGHT

I.ONDON-,A telegram from Reu-
says:
Extraordinary nervousness and de-
preston prevail in Germany owing to
the losses in the western offensive, as
is revealed with remarkable frankness
in an article by Captain Won Salzman
in the vossische Zeitung, in which he
endeavors to restore their lost conf
dence to the Germans by emphasizing
the importance of the capture of Kem-
mel hill.
Captain Won Salzman enumerates
a few Of the series Of rumors current
in Germany All these stories ara
prefaced by the remark in the reichs-
tag it is said,' and go on to say:
Losses Have Been Enormous
Our losses have been enormous
The offensive in the west has arrived
at a deadlock. The enemy is much
stronger than the supreme command
assumed. We are unable to continue
the offensive owing to lack OF horses.
The region before Ypres is a great
lake, and therefore, impossible. The
whole country between our Amtens
front and Paris is mined and will be
blown up.
Begin to Lose Nerve
1.-The people, continues Salzman,
have begun to lose their nerve. Re
plying in the reichstag, the minister OF
war said something like this: 1T goes
without saying that there are big
losses in such a struggle Our losses
in one part of the front have been
very heavy. Two-thirds of the COM
pany Iears in many regiments have
fallen
at is said that certain deputy
thereon told his electors in northern
German town:
""The minister of war has openly
declared our losses to be so heavy that
the offensive must be abandoned
