Rushed by Boards.
Special Despatch TO THE SuN.


wAsHINGToN, July 6.-Physical exam
ination of all the men in Glass l to de-
termine their fitness for immediate mill
tary service has been ordered by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder With
the prospect OF more than 400, 900 add
tIoral men being called this month and
considerably more in August. the new
order Is a preliminary step toward rapid
mobilization as soon as the calls are is
sued.
The local draft boards will send out
requests for the men to appear for ex-
aminations and push wrok as rapidly
as possible. Gen. Crowder has asked
for a report on the number of men ply ST.
Cally qualified to enter the service from
each OF the draft boards as soon as he
can get it.
Definite statements as to the number
of men that will be called during the
rext eight weeks have not been an.
nounced. From an unofficial but re-
liable source It is understood this num-
Der will be about ] 5000 men.
Gen. March. Chief of STAFF. at the
weekly conference with the members
of the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, revealed that more than a quar-
ter million of American troops-the
exact figures are 25l,0O0-were at the
front battle lines on the western front
on July /. and that the number is in
creasing daily. He asserted that the
presence of the Americans at the front
IL easing the situation there and sim
plifying the task of Gen. Foch. COM
mander in chief of the allied armies.
The figures as stated by Gen. March
are the high water mark OF American
participation at the front, but there
promises TO be n large increase. since
million Americans already have de-
parted for 'over there" and more are
being trained In this country. Ship
ments OF American troops during the
coming months may not be on the same
big plan as heretofore, one Of the rea-
sons being the shipping situation,
The prospect of these heavy calls was
indicated yesterday In the announcement
by the War Department of the creation
of five central camps for officers. TO
which civilians in limited numbers will
be admitted for training for commits
sions. Not only are the officers needed
for the men already in camp but to
assume charge OF others who will be
brought into the service during the sum-
mer.
All Of Glass must he ready for the
August calls, Gen. Crowder has told the
draft boards. This instruction includes
the twenty-one-year-ol men in this
years registration. the greater part OF
whom will be in camp by September.
1t includes also men recently removed
from deferred classifications and placed
in Glass /.
The draft boards have been asked by
Gen. Crowder's office to use common
sense in enforcing the work or fight"
order All rulings OF the local boards
are subject to final decision by the dis
trict boards.
Complaints have been made that the
rigorous enforcement of this order has
caused hardship TO many men with de.
pendent families on their hands and re-
suited In throwing men out of employ
ment when they have no other Jobs to
which they can turn.

Copyright. 1918: all rights reserved.
PARIS, July 6.-Leon Bourgeois. for
mer Premier and now president Of the
special Government commission which
has been studying the question Of the
proposed league of nations. has broken
the silence of nearly year since NJ.
Ribot, then Minister of Foreign Affairs.
appointed the commission and has made
several important declarations.
The Government has been averse to the
publication of the report of this commits
sion, which, II Is understood. Is an ex-
haustive analysis of the problem In all Its
phases. including the history of the ques-
ton. military penalties. organization and
international Jurisdiction. Only recently
reports were submitted to the Entente
Governments for their examination and
until their opinions have been received
and an agreement on general principles
reached no official declaration will be
made.
The Mutin publishes the views of
Bourgeois on this subject, which give
an indication OF the character OF the
report of his commission. He makes
1t clear that 1t is the first duty of the
Allies to establish in the present the
bases for the future of the Entente
peoples. and emphasizes the fact that
in the programme of the society of ma
lions, or the league OF nations, as 1t
Is known to the English speaking
world, there Is no question Of estab-
fishing international political States
above. the existing ones nor of en-
croaching upon their sovereignty, but
on the contrary to assure all of the
free exercise Of their liberties. He adds
at Is question solely Of creating
among the States an organization for
the maintenance Of a peace founded upon
mutual respect for their liberties and
rights The tendency toward this or
ganization Is universal. but 1t cannot be
shaped at the present moment other
than among the Allies: that Is to say.
among those fighting to establish the
reign of justice and law. 1t can be later
and successfully opened to other nations
only when they have furnished the nee
essary guarantees that they are in pos
session of a democratic organization and
have placed their destinies not In the
hands of an irresponsible Government
but in those of the nation itself"
NJ. Bourgeois makes several refer
enCes to President Wilson's declarations
on this subject in his speeches of April
2. 1917. April IL and in February last.
He adds that the ideas formulated in
his report are in perfect agreement with
those presented by Lord Curzon and Wis.,
count Grey.
He concludes by saying that 1t is nee
essary for the Governments of the Allies
to reach an agreement on this important
question concerning the worlds future
before the opening of peace negotiations
and that complete unity of political
views must be realized so as to prevent
Germany from being able to introduce
surreptitiously in the peace treaty any
thing that would reverse the Allies
ideals of right and justice.

Thanks Americans Abroad for
Their Loyalty.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The State De.
partment made public to-day the fol
lowing Independence Day greeting from
President Wilson to all American diplo
matte missions and consular offices:
On the anniversary which the
people are celebrating throughout the
United States to-day, I extend to
American citizens beyond the seas
cordial greetings.
The burden of this great war which
has been thrust upon us has been
greatly lightened by the cooperation
and loyalty of American citizens
abroad and I take this. occasion to
thank them In the name of the Amer
can people for their devotion to the
cause of their country and that OF
the allied powers, with the assur-
ance that much Is to be gained by
that filial affection which is so po-
tent a factor in the lives of our
people and which will rebound to the
glory Of peace and victory for all civil
lized mankind.
