 Americans Are Constantly Engaged
 During this entire counter offen- slve the American divisions which I nave told you about before have been constantly engaged and were still en- gagged at our last official accounts.
 With reference to the American program, I have directed to be organ ized in the United States six new divi- sions in the month of July. These six divisions will be organized at Camps Devens, Meade, Sheridan, Custer, Funston and Lewis. and will be nu- merically designated from nine up to fourteen. In the organization of these divisions, we intend to use as a nu- cleus in each one of the two regular regiments of infantry which have been taken from the regular regiments still left in the United States guarding util- ltles, quietly replacing them during the last month or two by home guards. These regiments are now moving into the designated camps as the national army moves out and the divisions will be an increase to the American forces. The remaining elemtns of these divi- slons will be formed by national army dafted men.
 One of the correspondents has asked if 1 can tell what the 2Sth divi- sion is doing. I will state that the present location of that division is un- Known. but of course, in an offensive like that where everypody is fighting the commanding general uses the American troops, with the French wherever he needs to-"

TERRIBLE CRIME |S COMMITTED BYM MAN
 IN AVONDALE CAMP

The town of Avondale is up in arms result of criminal assault made upon the daughter of Mr and Mrs. Jack Lantrip, child between nine and ten years of age by man. whom the little girl says is named Smith Holloway, according to report made late last night to the sheriff's office by Deputy Sheriff Rudd, stationed at Avondale.
 The assault was committed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The little girl reported to her mother who. with out telling MT. Lantrip, hastened with the little girl to a physician in Phoe- nix. Upon the mother and daughters return to Avondale. about noon, they were met by Mir. Struells of Struells' cotton camp and the little girl induced to tell her story, giving the name of Holloway, who is reported as IS years of age.
 It was not until later in the day that Deputy Sheriff Rudd was informed of the crime, and then the news spread rapidly and a thorough search of the Avondale country was made by posses, without results.
 Rudd reported to the sheriff last ms ht tiidl liS ltdl lcu iildt I1OllON dN ', travelling with a Bill Johnson, had left the country. that he believed they went by automobile to Phoenix and would go from there either to Prescott or try and make their way to Fl Paso by rail road train. Both have been working at the cotton camp and were well sup piled with money when leaving Avon dale, the deputy sheriff reported.
 As soon as the crime was reported to the sheriff's office, Night Jailer Charles Musgrove ordered all available deputies out for thorough search of the country. Musgrove also wired inn mediately to the sheriff of Pima at Tucson and to the sheriff of Yavapai county at Prescott. He also notified the Phoenix police and a thorough search of the city was in progress early this morning.
 Holloway is described as IS years old, heavy set, and Johnson as about | the same age. but slender and tall

STR|CTER RULINGS
 IN CLASSIFICATION
 URGED BY CROWDER

With larger and increasing calls for men coming from draft head quarters the attention of all draft board officials has been called to the necessity of exerting the greatest care and impartiality in classifying the reg istrants.
 Fearing that outside influences may have guided some boards in placing registrants in deferred classes who should be in Class 1, and that men will not be available when calls arc made, boards have been notified to use unusual care and to carry out to the letter the instructions of the provost marshal general in their re-classifica- ton.
 "The need of the government for men constantly is increasing" said Il draft official yesterday, and all local and district boards have been directed by Provost Marshal General Crowder to re-classify very carefully in certain classes.
 The classifications so far have been made with no great hardship to indus tries or to registrants, and as the war goes on, the citizens of this country must expect to be called upon to make sacrifices.
 Counties that previously have not furnished the average number of men certainly will be required to increase their percentage. and those industries which have been favored in obtaining deferred classification have had ample time to secure men outside of draft age for replacement of registrants in the draft
 Members of the various boards will De expected to do their full duty to the government as well as to the regis trant. and particularly at this time must so act that no reflection may be cast on their decision, either for polit teal. social or fraternal reasons"
 Instructions were sent to all local boards yesterday by Colonel Charles W. Harris, adjutant general, that nc more releases are to oe given to men subject to draft to permit them to en- list in the army, navy or emergency fleet.

ATTORNEY GENERAL LAUNCHES SHIP ON
 SEA IF POLITICS

A fair sized crowd of democrats of both factions, middle of the roaders and curious republicans met Attorney General Jones at the city hall plaza last night 10 hear why he should be re-nominated and elected to the office he has filled for the last four years. Though MT. Jones was the piece de re- ststance of the meeting a general invi- tation was extended by him to all dem- ocrats with official aspirations. It was accepted by two of them, J. C. Niles, candidate for a nomination for the house of representatives and Thomas P. Walton who aspires to a seat in the senate.
 The remarks of both these candi- dates were brief, preliminary and pre- montory of more extended speeches in the course of the campaign when MT. Niles said he would fully outline his views with respect to legislation and when MT. Walton said he would present the record he had made as member of the house in the regular and special sessions of the third state legislature.
 MT. Jones began his remarks with a deprecation of the necessity of the in terjection of party politics into a cam paign at this time when a matter O..
 
 either party or all parties was engross- ing the attention of the people of the world. By easy gradations. Mir. Jones approached a panegyric upon Presi- dent Wilson and reached a climax by declaring that if the people of the world had voice they would elect him president of the world. | The republicans in congress and out ! of congress had introduced partisan , politics and it was necessary for faith 1 ful democrats to fight them on the the battlefield they had selected.
 Later, MT. Jones spoke of his stew ardship in the office of the attorney general with special reference to the { enforcement of the prohibition amend ment after he had successfully fought in United States court in Los Angeles to establish the fact that the amend ment was self executing and needed no supplementary action by the legisla- ture.
 Prohibition. he said, had been made to prohibit in Arizona. The law was so enforced that at the end of three months the state was dryer than Kan sas had been at the end of 30 years of prohibition.

THREE MORE PUMPS
 NEEDED IN PHOENIX

One of the strongest proofs of actual growth and progress of the city of Phoenix was shown yesterday when City Manager V. A. Thompson an nounced that the city would receive bids August for three pumps, with a total capacity of 5000 gallons. These pumps will be in addition to the pres ent pumping plant which has capac- ity of 15,000 gallons.

When these pumps are placed in operation the entire plant will have a pumping capacity of 21000 gallons For some time it has been ap- parent to the city manager that more water was needed to supply the needs of the city.

RESERVES HOLDING OPEN JAWS OF TRAP
 FOCH HAS SPRUNG
(Continued from Page One)


 jeans and French have crossed the river at a number of points and now hold villages to the north of the Marne.
 The response of the Germans to the counter offensive of Foch was to throw in at Soissons and south of it, a large number of reserve divisions which he had not used in his advance across the Marne. Our belief is that he threw in there 15 divisions but the advance of. the allies at that point has been practically steady for the last two days. as far as our official infor- nation goes.
 Looking at the large scale map. the railroad running from Soisson to Cha teau- -Thierry is now either in our hands or under our fire. The only way in which the enemy can get out now, or get supplies over railroad. is shown by the remaining line running from Nanteuil on the Ourcq base to the river Basle He may have con structed in addition to that in and along the valleys. small temporary field railroads, military roads. which would be of advantage in handing sup | pies but his main line of retreat must be along that main railroad. That is the only way he can get out large ma | terial. It will be observed that it was | necessary for him. if he did not intend to be caught absolutely in a pocket. to keep troops from advancing and cut | ting off this road which would put him entirely at the mercy of the allied | forces.

He is sparing no pains and effort to stock the preserves with other game than those which are native of Arizona, but is also inter- ested in propagating other specimens in this stote.
 Recently he has made arrange ments for the shipment of several dozen bob white quail to Arizona which will be liberated in congenfaf localities,
