DELAWARE REGIMENT
IN Fighting SOON
Orders Issued for it to be
Built Up to War
Strength
DRAFTED MEN TO FILL
UP COMPANY RANKS

Delaware's regiment. the Fifty-ninth
Pioneer Infantry, now at Camp Dix. in
all probability will go overseas in the
near future.
II was learned today that orders have
gone out for building the regiment up
to war strength. There are now about
$500 men in the regiment. and it will
be filled out with about 2.i00 National
Army men who now are in the depot
brigade and other units at Camp Dix.
Many of the men TO be assigned to the
Fifty-ninth Pioneers are recent ar
rivals in draft contingents at the camp
and are still under the preliminary
quarantine and are unframed.
Within two weeks after the regiment
Is filled up il is expected it will de-
part for overseas, where the men will
be given intensive training prior to go
ing to the front in France.
The 59th Pioneer Regiment, as now
constituted. is highly trained by reason
of its experience along the Mexican
border, at Camp Mcclellan and at Camp
Dix. The unframed drafted men to be
attached to the regiment will require
some time for training that will give
them the same efficiency as the Della
wareans now in the regiment.
According to a letter received In this
city today from a soldier at Camp
nix. some of the enlisted men had
party a few nights ago, wnh Colonel
I Warner Reed, commanding the regi-
ment. addressed them Colonel Reed
fold the men of orders received from
General Scott for building up the regi-
ment to war strength.

Ward

work. The man was not in custody

WASHINGTON, July 81
Both sides having changed THEN
original objectives, the Allies and
Germans, battling in the bloody
Soissons-Rheims salient are nov
bent solely upon trying to destro,
each other.
In his regular conference with
correspondents today, Chief o
Staff March declared that the
lone objective remaining now Il
to kill as many men as possible.
He held out slight hope of bag
ging the German army, owing to
its resistance in the Scissors and
Rheims sections-the two ends
of the Allied pincers.
The Rainbow Division is helping to
hold the line near -En-Tardenois,
General March said. This division,
which in the early days Of the German
drive around Rheims helped withstand
the enemy attacks, arrived at its new
post within the last two days to rein
force other Americans there.
The third division, March said, is now
at Sierges. another point Of violent
fighting.
Formation Of six new divisions, 10 be
numbered from IS TO 20, is under way
at the following camps: Logan, kear-
ney, SEWER. Beauregard, Travis and
Dodge.
Two regular army regiments will
form the nucleus Of each new division,
March said.
Transfer Of fifteen regiments Of Ma
tional Army cavalry TO field artillery
has been ordered and these men will
be used abroad at once, he, declared.
Formation of these new units will re-
quire creation of many new general
officers.
Gen March stated that cable had
been sent to Gen. Pershing, instructing
him to send casualties as they occur,
without any attempt TO separate them,
according to the engagements. The
casualties will be given out en- toto, as
soon as received, it was stated.
Reviewing the battle situation in
France. Gen. March said that since last
Saturday the German salient has fat
tened considerable. The enemy retire
ment on Saturday was very rapid,
to three or four miles, on a
20-mile front, he said.
So fast did the Germans retreat Sat-
urday night that the Allied armies got
out of touch with their
front line and sent out cavalry patrols |

The extreme flank OF the enemy's /
lines remains practically stable, while

By the United Press.
AMSTERDAM, July 31-Field
Marshal Won Eichhorn, German
dictator in Ukrania, has been as
sassinated, according to official
word from Kief received here
today. Adjutant Captain Won
Dressler was also killed.
Previous reports said that Won
Eichhorn and Won DressIer had
been seriously wounded by a
bomb thrown by Social RevoIu-
tionary pIotter. The assailant
was arrested. The Kief dispatches
said Won Eichhon and Won Dress
Ter lived only a few hours after
having been hurt.
The Kaiser, before he learned
that the men had been mortally
wounded, telegraphed the follow
ing to Won Eichhorn:
II learn with Indignation and
deep regret of this abominable
crime"
Adyices from Kiefr declared that Won
assassin brought to trial,
said he came from the government of
aiezan. via Moscow, on orders from
he communist committee to kill the
German dictator.
The assassinations OF Won Eichhorn
md Won Dressler came less than
month after Ambassador Won Nlirbacl1
was killed by revolver and grenades at
Moscow. The Mirbach death was
blamed on the Social-Revolutionaries.
More than 200 were reported executed
or connection with the plot, including
Nile Spiridnova. All relatives or the 4
persons were exiled from
he country. Germany demanded that
he Bolsheviki government permit a
German military guard to be placed
,ver the embassy at Moscow, and FOR
, time it appeared likely that the affair
would cause a rupture between Russia
Ind Germany.
Following the Brest-Litoyk peace, Il
vas predicted in some quarters that
Sihilism would break out in Russia and
'ause the German conquerors as much
rouble as it caused officials under the
