744,sG5 REGISTERED ON JUNE s.
The Number was 200, ,724 Below the
Estimate-Many Enlistments.

Washington, June is. IN early
complete reports to the Provost Mar
shal Generals office show that 744,-
S65 Americans who have become Of
age during the past year registered
for military service on June S. This
is 266,724 below the estimate of the
Census Bureau, but since more than
100000 unregistered 21-year-olds
already are enlisted in the army,
navy or marine corps, the military
authorities find the result entirely
satisfactory.
Army and navy estimates place the
number OF 21-year-old men enlisted
at 20S,5S8. This figure, combined
with the falling off in alien registra-
ton gives a total Of 353,6S6, which
means that the Census Bureau appar-
emily missed the number OF eligibles
by only 1900.
ut is confidently believed that this
number will be made up by belated
registrations yet to be heard from,
including among them the registra-
non OF absentees, which is accom-
plished by mail.

AUSTRIANS CLAIM 10000.

about " miles. They have thrown
IA bridges across the river. These,
however, are under the italian fire.
The Austrian forces are attempt

sufficient reserves to avoid any dan

There are 100000 Austrian SOL

10000 NEEDED TO MAN SHIPS.
Warsllips Being Turned Out Faster
Than Men Can he Found.

Washington, June 15.-Upwards Of
10000 men will be needed to man
the great fleet Of warships which the
United States will turn out during
the next fiscal year, the House naval
committee was advised to-day by Sec
retary Daniels.
In asking the House to concur in
the Senate amendment to the naval
appropriation increasing the nayy's
enlisted personnel from $1,000 to
131 4S6 men, Mr.. Daniels transmitted
letters from Admiral Benson, chief
of naval operations, and Rear Admi-
raj Palmer, chief Of the Bureau Of
Navigation, showing in detail why
this increase Is necessary.
The correspondence revealed that
new warships are being turned out
faster than they can be manned with
the present limited personnel, anu
that should there be change Of ma
val tactics and the nation be forced
to defensive instead Of an offensive
fight, the navy would be seriously
handicapped in handling the feet

PEOPLE BEING SLAUGHTERED
By Nltslcd German TroOps-I}order
States Have Become q GOlgotla.

Amsterdam, June 16.-A scene
was caused in the Reichstag yester-
day by DR.. COhn, a Socialist mem
ber, when, according to the Cologne
Gazette, he declared:
The border States have become a
Golgotha, where lie bleaching the
bones of the best in the land, who
have been slaughtered by the mis-
led German soldiers"
An uproar followed this declara-
tion and Deputy Cohn was called to
order, but he continued:
"The entire war has become a
family affair of the HohenZollerns.
1t Is possible that we may finally re-
main the only warriors in Europe
and the entente will have to submit,
but Europe will have become q con-
tingent OF beggars and we shall all
suffer the consequences Of such
peace"
Lieut.. Gen. Won Stein, Prussian
minister Of war and State, in reply
asserted:
ut is not one family in this coun-
try which Is waging war, but the
German people, under the Kaiser. Is
waging war for its existence"
According to another account Of
the excited debate, several independ-
ent Socialists shouted: "Robbersi
Murderers!" when Dr.. Cohn said that
people were being slaughtered by
the misled German soldiers" Mem
bers Of the center and conservative
parties thereupon left the chamber.

approve the age limits fixed in the

Department for additional calls, Gen.
Crowder said that at the present rate
Glass 1 will be exhausted by the end
