new WORKERS
EVERY MONTH

Forced by the decision OF Pres
1dent Wilson and Secretary Baker
TO KEEP pace with the nations in
creased military preparations, the
Y. NJ. C. A. Is doubling it's machin-
cry for recruiting workers for work
in the army camps Of America and
overseas and has organized a. COM
n1ittee to tour the south and other
sections Of the country and present
the appeal Of the National War Work
council to men who are beyond figh9-

the soldiers. In a statement just
received here today w. L. Stock
well, state chairman personal COM
mittee Of the Young Mems Christian
association, DR.. John r. Mott, head
Of the National War Work Council
Of the 7. M. c. A. says:
After close study Of present re-
quirements and careful forecast, I am
convinced that we must have in each
month from May to September in
elusive 700 workers for the American
troops in France and England, fifty
for the French army and ten for the
italian army. Making allowances for
expiring contracts and casualties will
swell the total to considerably over
500.
"Of this total $40 should be women

French work. Because of the diff

ust recommend double output In
May and June"
AS workers are not enlisting fast
enough to satisfy these war needs,
the Y. M. c.. A. is going to recruit
them as men are recruited for the
army and navy. A recent tour Of the
middle west produced large returns;
the south is expected to do as well.
How great z. M. G. A. expansion
has been since the United States en-
tered the war is shown by COM
parison Of figures said Mr.. Stock
well today. The original estimate
called for 1900 workers In the Amer

they sailed was torpedoed and sunk
More than 200 workers are now at
Princeton for intensive training be-
fore going overseas.
AS the military forces Of the ma
ton increase, this stream of z. M
G. A. workers must increase If the
association is not to fa1ter in the du-
ties which have been intrlsted to it
by the national government. There
is need for hut secretaries, athletic
directors, automobile drivers and

ers." =

ance are slated for every variety of
work overseas, from hut secretaries
to assistants in post exchanges, ath-

managers and the like. Secretaries
who have been overseas will address
the camp on timely topics. q.

posed by the officers OF the agricul-

wards, secretary OF the agricultural
branch, located at Minneapolis, Mimi,

combination which was intended to

After a conference between repre-

later it was announced that the
scheme had not materialized." Fl

REG|MENT IF MEN 0F J. $. FUR ITALY
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 27.-A regi- ment of troops in General Pershing's expeditionary forces has been ordered to Italy, probably as an advance guard of additional forces to be sent later, to complete the unity on that front of Italian, British, French and American troops. Secretary Baker announced to- day that General Pershing had been instructed to select a regiment now in training in France for immediate movement to Italy.
 While there is good reason to believe that the American forces in Italy will be augmented considerably later, to- days announcement appears to make it certain that no direct movement from the United States at an early date is planned. It is known the sug- gestion has been considered that an Italian expedition be made entirely in | dependent of General Pershing's forces although equally under the direction of General Foch as supreme commander.

 LONDON, June 27.-'I bear wit ness that the Russian people never will recognize the Brest- Litovsli treaty, which hurled Russia into the abyss of annihilation," said Alexander F. Kerensky, former premier of Rus sia in an adress at the labor con- ference today.

 The success of the war savings movement depend largely on the re- suits Of tomorrow's intensive nation wide canvass, officials declared today. Heretofore sales of thrift and war savings stamps have been less than the government had hoped for, amounting to about S3O0000000 since last De- cember 3.

GREAT LOTTERY

 MEN FUR DRAF I
Second Drawing Held at
 Washington Is Devoid of
 Dram in a tic Features of First; 1,2OO Tags Drawn
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Nearly 800, 900 young men of 21 who registered for military service last June had their order in the draft classes fixed today by a second national draft lot tery held with formal ceremony at the senate office building.
 Only 1,200 Are Drawn
 Just 1,2OO numbered slips rolled in capsules-enough to cover the list of new registrants in the largest local district in the country-were drawn from big glass bowl and the num- bers recorded in serial order Under the law all the new registrants go at the bottom of the classes to which they may be assigned, and the order in which the number appearing on each mans registration card came from the bowl determines his place in the list of additions.
 Baker Draws First
 The task was done. in about two hours. After brief explanatory state ment by Provost Marshal General Crowder, Secretary Baker, blindfolded drew the first number-246. General March, chief of staff, Chairman Cham berlain and Senator Warren of the senate military committee; Chairman Dent and Representative Kahn of Cali fornia of the house military committee and several army officers each drew a number. Then Major Billy Wellborn. young woman employed in the pro- vost marshal generals office, donned the blindfold and proceeded to take out capsules
 Little Dramatic Interest
 The dramatic interest that attended the first drawing, which actually de- termined the original order of service of ten million registrants, was almost wholly lacking in today's proceedings Since men placed in class one are cer- tain to be called to the colors within a few months at most, the order ir which new registrants are placed is relatively unimportant.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The capture of 240 prisoners, including five officers, by the American forces operating in the Chateau Thierry region Tuesday and the successful bombing of the railroad yards and station at Conflans by American aviators Tuesday night are recounted in General Persh- . ing's communique for yesterday, received by the war department.
 The statement follows:
 Section A-Late yesterday in the Chateau Thierry region our infantry effectively supported by our artillery attacked the enemy position south of Torcy and ad- vanced our line. Two hundred and forty prisoners of whom five were officers, and i9 machine guns, sew eral automatic rifles and a quan- tity of other material were cap tured during the operation. Sue cessive hostile counter attacks broke down with loss.
 Last night our aviators were again successful in bombarding the railroad station and yards at Conflans."
 General Pershing transmitted under section B of his statement the names of units, officers and men of the first American division who were cited for bravery at the battle of Cantigny by the general commanding the French army with which the first division is serving. The citations were re- ceived from France in Associated Press dispatches last Monday.

 BERLIN. (via London). June 27. The official communication from general headquarters today says:
 There is no change in the situ ation. Lively enemy activity has been displayed north of the Scarpe and on the Somme west of Sois- sons and northwest of Reims. The enemy's observers have again been seen on the Reims cathedral.
 During the night the artillery activity increased again on the rest of the front; also between the Aisne and the Marne in connec- ton with infantry reconnaissances.
 "On the east bank of the Mouse we carried out successful recon naissances north of St. Michel. A strong enemy attack was repuIsed.
 Five airplanes were shot down out of an enemy bompng echeIon which during the last two days has raided Karlsruhe and Often berg, an industrial region of lor- raine. Yesterday our bombing squadrons attacked Paris and the enemy's railway functions and air dromes on the way there"
 The announcement by the Ger man high command that enemy observers have been seen on Reims cathedral is usually the prelmi- nary to a bombardment of that edifice. The French authorities have denied that the cathedral was ever used for observation pur- poses.
 There is little left of the edifice but the west front and the pillars
