General CrOWder Announces
That 28O,O0O Draftees Are
to Be Taken in June

Under a June call for 100000 men
announced in today's Associated
Press dispatches from Washington,
North Dakota, using past quotas as a
basis, probably will be asked to fur.
nish 1900 men. This call will ex
haust practically all the states cred
its on future drafts, and will place our
select service men on an even keel
with other states. whose draftees have
not been so patriotic in enlisting prior
to their time. ~
General Fraser has no advice of the
June CALL All information available
here today is contained in the follow
ing special from Washington:
Washington, May 31-Official an.
nouncement was made today that $780,.
900 men will be called to the colors
during June. They will be ordered
to report June "a but it has not yet
been determined to what camps they
can be assigned so the list of appor'
tionments is for the present being
withheld
The quota is based on estimates OF
the space available for the men in
camps and cantonments. II the rate
of shipment of troops across again is
raised still more men may be called.
In any event the probabilities are that
eaough men will be called for special

London, May 31.-(Via Ottawa. 1.-THE abandonment
OF Rheims seems inevitable. The Germans are nearing
the Marine and the ParisChaons railway which is the
main communication between Paris and Verdun.
Although the pace of the German advance has slack
ened owing to the arrival of the allied is recog
nzed that the allies have difficult task to prevent fur

Correspondents say the retreat over the Aisne was
most difficult feat of warfare, both regards calm
generalshp and the courage of the troops The ground
repeatedly defended to the last man. Officers were
seen holding the bridges to the last moment and
then killed when they blew them up. "&

The Reverend Father A. Cadoux,

the dead American soldiers and to the
valor and heroism of France. He said
that the motherD, fathers, sisterA

French will always care for the
graves of their heroes. =,
The French civilians then advanced
and placed their floral tributes on the
graves. The little cemetery was lit

The touch of war was not missing
and Just at the close Of the service

of four American chaplains and one

Lincoln's Gettysburg speech was
read, after which the band played
religious and patriotic anthems, and
prayers were said in English and
French.
It was most touching to see old
women, old men and children from
nearby villages standing near the Am

hands. Tears were in many eyes as
Chaplain T. J. Dickson of the Ameri'

More Than 100000 Tons of

4OO, 900 tons of ships are released to
the United States and allies by Swed-
en- under the terms of the commercial
agreement signed at Stockholm by
representatives fthe two govern
ments, the state department was no

News of the signing of the agree
ment reached heer first in news dis
patches giving no details. Dispatches
from Sweden recently have said re-
duction in the bread ration soon would
become necessary, which would place
the country in real distress. The state
stores of grain, it was said, would
last only until August S. The country
needs $1,000 tons of grain to get along
until the new harvest.
1t is understood the American gov
ernment in return for the ships will
give liberal treatment to Sweden in
supplying food rations. raw materials
and manufactured products including
lso-called lesser essentials.
Negotiations have been proceeding
for osme time, and their successful
elimination was due, it was said to-
day, to the recent changes in the Swed-
ish government. The new government
is extremely friendly to the United
States
Under a modus vivendi in effect for
some months, the war trade board has

I. The purpose of the attack
in Champagne may be to widen
the front. 1t began at the right
end OF the ground in the advance
Of March and April. II the battle
goes as the Germans hope, 1t Will
force the allies to strengthen the
Champagne front without weak
ening the Picardy-Flanders line.
This will force the employment
of the allied reserves.
2. It. may be aimed to straight
on out the great dent in the Ger
man line made by General Petain
last year when he forced the
crown prince to retreat from the
Chemin des Danes to the Ailette
River. This would precent allied
thanking movements both from
the east and west, which have
been much talked Of since the
drive began. -...
3. The Champagne attacks may
be merely a feint to disguise the
German purpose of q new lunge
for the channel ports at Amiens
and Ypres. All the German prep
arations have indicated that the
latter is still their main objective.
II this is the case, the Battle OF
the Aisne is not the principal
struggle but merely a part OF a
great new plan.
4. The drive on the Aisne may
mean that Hindenburg deter
mined to cross the Aisne and the
Vesle rivers, capture Scissors and
Compiegne, reach the Marine again

The fourth possibility, that OF
march on Paris, is con

It would require secondary sci
