OFFICIALS STATE PLAN
FOR DRAFTED ARMIES
WASHINGTON. D. C., June 4.—
This afternoon, the eve of the con
scription registration, the govern
ment announces its plans.
It is stated that the government
expects that ten million men will
be registered as a result of the
draft law requirements today.
Of this ten million 625,000 will
be immediately taken for military
training, and thereafter 125,000
will be' drafted as needed into the
service to take the place of those
who have to be replaced by sickness
or death, injuries or wounds. They
will be afterwards trained in
batches of 125,000 for the war as
needed.
It is expected to get 81,000 Am
erican physicians to volunteer for
active service and research work
for the benefit of the Allies else
where.
In this connection it is stated
that a new antiseptic has been dis
covered which is expected to save
the lives of thousands of soldiers
and fit them for the firing line
again.
PITTSBURG, June 4.—Four were
arrested here charged with treason.
The men were distributing anti
registration literature. The offici
als say that the death penalty lies
in wait for them.
DETROIT, June 4.—Six opponents
of the draft were fired from their
jobs today and then tried by a
kangaroo court, made to kiss the
American flag and sing the Star
Spangled Banner.
The opponents of registration
have been very active here.
BOOZE KILLS MORE
THAN
SIA
PETROGFAD, June 4.—The re
volting sections against the provi
sional government are faring badly
mainly by reason of their lack of
organization.
The drastic methods taken by
the provisional government to
handle the revolt of the protesting
deserters at Kieff has stirred up
considerable opposition. An at
tempt to attack the government
forces resulted in considerable
looting which fatally demoralized
the sections in revolt. There are
not less than four hundred dead
of alcoholism from looting wine
factories in the district where the
revolt was strongest, and thousands
of the intoxicated rebels were de
stroyed, falling an easy prey to the
government forces.
Order has not yet been restored.
The situation is chaotic.
PETROGRAD, June 4.—No con
cern or anxiety of any kind is felt
that Germany or Austria will attack
Russia despite its present disturbed
condition. It is recognized that
even if they did,, the Russians would
present a united front to the com
mon enemy. The provisional gov
ernment insists that much of the
revolt in inspired by German agents,
many of whom formerly lived in
Russia and some of whom were j
born here.
LONDON, June 4.—The great
strength of the radical element in
Russia is overcoming the t war plans
of the provisional government, it is
believed here, as indicated by the
dispatches from Petrograd today.

the fact that one hundred and forty
government buildings are to be

pean nations were planning a de
mocratic revolution in all those

LONDON, June 4.—Haig suffered
a severe reverse Saturday when
some positions between Wallincourt
and Cambrai were recaptured • after
terrific counters by the Germans.
These were again retaken after
severe struggling Sunday and today
were held against terrible counters
by the Germans who are still mass
ing for continued attacks. These
lines were constructed by the Ger
mans for their final French stand
against the Entente and their re
capture is regarded as of great im
portance.
Fierce fighting still continues near
Cernay where in the Champagne
country the French offensive is
gaining ground against strong posi
tions.
Haig is continuing the advance
beyond Arras in order to bring up
the main lines up with the more ad
vanced positions held. Severe fight
ing is being accompanied by defi
nite successes.

LINE SMASHED BY
HUNGARIANS, CARSO
ROME, June 4.—Fierce fighting
has been resumed on the Carso, the
Hungarian troops with desperate at
tacks, destroying the Italian forces
in charge of the new lines of de
fense. Several Italian regiments
were wiped out in the fighting, and
the Hungarians who had been
massed in this section during the
past few days penetrated the en
tire advanced line of the Italians.
General Cadorna rushed troops to
reinforce the threatened sections of
his line and afterwards regained
most of the lost positions. The
Hungarian forces are again attack
ing with unmitigated fury but can
not budge the Italian lines tltis
time. Artillery brought t'orwara
under difficulties makes the Italian
position secure. The losses today
were enormous to both sides.
VIENNA, June 4.—The dathir.g
bravery of the Hungarian troop;, re
cently moved from the Galician to
the Italian fronts completely turned
the tables on the Italians today in
the Carso. The Italians were driven
back from their new position
which the Hungarians occupied.
The Italians later attacked in force
and made some re-gains.
PARIS, June 4.—The most criti
cal fighting of the Italian campaign
is now admittedly taking place
with the Austrians moving every
available man to prevent Cadorna’s
threatened advance. Another few
miles gives the Italian leader a
strangle hold upon the Trieste de
defenses.

drafting into contact with crooks,
criminals and other vicious charac
ters who would also be conscripted,
and with whom the susceptible
young young men would have to as
