been moving towards mastering its
maximum manpower for two months.
It was considered that The disclosure
was linkeu with the withdrawal OF
German units from France, Hol-
land and Belgium to replace severe
losses on the eastern front.
There was speculation on whether
Britain planned an invasion of the
continent to take advantage of Ger
man reverses in Russia. Reliable
quarters insisted there was nothing
unusual in the army's calls for more
draftees, which, it was said, have
been issued continually.
There have been no special call
for an unusually large number of
men, it was emphasized. The gov
ernment was represented as pro-
ceeding on the principle that no
fit man should be excused from
military service if his job could be
filled by woman. The government
recently issued a call for 100000
women to replace men in factories.

les of successful Red army offens-
ives was reported cutting deeper into
German lines today, forcing the
enemy to abandon lone position
after another
One counterbloW was on the
northwest sector" while another
was at a village near Kiev, where
the Russians said they had driven
back the Germans and killed or
wounded $4,000.
The other counterattacks we're not
located definitely in dispatches to
Moscow newspapers, but Izvestia
said that a series of drives had
broken fierce German resistance
and driven the enemy back through
a number of defense positions.
The newspaper reported that the
Germans had attempted vainly to
halt the counterattacks by "psy-
chic attack" at one point. There,
it said, the Germans threw into
action two picked battalions led by
men beating drums and cymbals
to make a great noise and give the
impression of a huge attack.
THE Red army let them advance
in perfecy formation and then OPEN
ed heavy machinegun fire and
charged with bayonets, wiping out
both companies" the newspaper
said, reporting that the Russian
drive then continued.
The counterbloW in the Kiev sec
tor indicated winding or continu-
alton of Russian drives in scattered
areas from Leningrad to the lower
Dnieper, although there were still
no definite signs of a coordinated
counteroffensive.
Previous counterattacks of local
nature but on big scale had been
reported gaining more than 80 miles
on the central front (possibly in
the Smolensk- -Vyazma area) and
battling to seize the initiative from
the Germans in the Gomel and low
er Dnieper regions.
(The Russian counterattacks, aid
ed by heavy rains, appeared to be
slowing down or halting the general
German advance on the eastern
front and to have pinched off some
Nazi spearheads such as that point

Churchill Urges
All to Join War

for greater American aid to win
this war for world freedom"
Churchill paid tribute to Can
ada as link between the United
States and the British empire.
Canada" Churchill said, with
those relations of friendly and af-
fectionate intimacy with the United
States on the one hand, and with
her answering fidelity to the Brit
ish commonwealth and the moth
erland on the other, is the link
which joins together these great
branches of the human family,
the link which, in spanning the
oceans, brings the continents into
their true relation and will pre-
vent in future generations the di-
visions between the proud and hap
by nations of Europe and the great
countries which have come TO eX-
iStence in the new world"
Mackenzie King appealed for
leadership by the British common
wealth of nations and the United
States to achieve a new world Or
der based on freedom.
He said that Churchill's declara-
ton that, in the rar East, Britain
stands at the side of the United
States is a sure sign of the deep
ening interdependence of the free
world.
"A similar declaration on the
part of the United States, as res
poets Germany" he said, would
believe, serve to shorten this
perilouS conflict"

the advent of Fall and the fans
jam the stadia for the big games,
Jack will be in the stands cheer

When the 1910 season came to

son at Wesleyan University in
Middletown, Conn, but he thought
he would try his hand in the BUSH
