49,843 MORE MEN
ORDERED TO CAMP
MUST REPORT BETWEEN MAY 1
10. MAKING TOTAL OF OVER
100000 CALLED SINCE MARCH

WASHINGTON, april 14.-Another
draft call for 49,843 registrants has
been sent to Governors of states by
Provost Marshall General Crowder.
Mobilization of the men is ordered for
May 1 and 10, the War department
announced tonight, and they will be
sent to eleven forts and recruiting
barracks, probably for training with
regular army units there.
This call increases to more than
100000 the number OF selectmen or
dered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mobil-
lied under the origional plan to call
100000 men this year over nin'o
months period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before midsummer.

WEST
WAR REVIEW SAYS GERMANS
HAVE FAILED IN PURPOSE

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The turn
ing point in the battle on the west
front has been reached, says the war;
departments review of the military
situation for the last week, and pub.
lished today. The Germans have:
failed in their purpose to achieve VIC.
tory in the field, the statement con-
tinues, and will soon be forced to-
resume their old tactics. 4
eve must bear in mind that the
enemy is waging a battle of annihi4
lation to achieve victory. He is fight
ing today with the sole aim of annihi-i
lating the British armies. Thus ter.
rain conquered counts for little" the
review says.
while it must be admitted that the
German operations have resulted in
more than the mere ploughing up Of
a part of the Allied trench system and
the capture of local detectives along
a wide front nevertheless the aim to
obtain decisive strategic success has
not been attained 1t has proven an
unwise endeavor, and reveals little adj
vantages scored by the Germans, y3t
they have failed in their great pur
pose"

PARIS ATTACK BY
BIG GUNS AT NIGHT
FIRST NOCTURNAL BOMBARD.
MENT is NO MORE SUCCESS
Full THAN DAYLIGHT
SMELLING

PARIS, April 14.-Paris, last night,
was subjected to its first nocturnal
bombardment since the long range
Smelling began, the bombardment be-
ing resumed late in the night. No
casualties had been reported as the
result of the after dark Smelling up
to shortly before noon today.
Yesterdays bombardment did not
cause any casualties. Today's bonn
bardment of the Paris region was
opened shortly after three O'Clock this
afternoon. The beginning of noctur-
nal bombardments il; attributed to
the fact that the Germans now know
that the French have located exactly
the long-range gun, so that is no
longer any necessity of refraining
from night time firing lest the flare
of the explosion should betray the
guns position
Reports up to mid-afternoon still
from the first nights bombardment
The negative result is likely to prove
further disappointment to the Ger
mans as revealing that nocturnal
Smelling is no Improvement from their
viewpoint on the day bombardments.
The only shots of the $50 fired
which caused any notable casualties
were those which respectively struck
church on Good Friday, the infant
asylum attached to a maternity hos
pital and an old mems bowling green.
Some others have hit the top stories
of houses which were empty, their oc-
cupants having gone to work. The
Parisians assume that the Germans
hoped the night bombardment might
find such houses occupied.
