FROM PARIS
WASHINGTON
& AMSTERDAM
PARIS, May 4—Supported en
tirely by their own artillery the
American forces made a brilliant at
tack upon the German positions
near Dogs wood, Lorraine.
A small band of about 300 Ameri
cans hurled themselves upon the
enemy and before they could be
stopped they went all th© way
through the German lines penetrat
ing the third line trenches.
This is the first movement made
by the Americans in which they
carried out the entire operation by
themselves and they done well.
The Americans captured two Ger
man prisoners on the Picardy front.
.WASHINGTON, May 4—The four
Americans who had been sentenced
to be shot for sleeping while on
trench duty in France, have been
pardoned by the President.
The President gave two of the
men a complete pardon and cut the
sentence of the other two, to three
years in prison.
AMSTERDAM, May 4—Reports
Reaching this city from Vienna,
Austria say that fighting is now in
progress along the entire Italian
front.. The Vienna official state
ment admits that fourteen more
Teuton airoplanes have been shot
down by the Italians. From
Guidicaria Valley to the Adriatic
sea the battle rages fiercely.

290,000 BRITISH IUNITED
STATES] LIABLE FOR CALL
i
UNDER RECRUITING CONVEN
TION RUDE, FIT MUST SERVE
OWN COUNTRY OR AMERICA
NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (By mail—
At the lowest estimate there are
290.000 Britishers in the United
States who will be liable for draft
into the American Army,,, under the
recruiting convention soon to be
signed between Great Britian and the
United States. This statement is on
the authority of General W. A.
White, head of the British military
mission, with headquarteds in this
city. It will bring into the army
thousands of men who as Americans
would be exempt as being beyond
the draft age. Englishmen and Ca
nadians in the United States from
twenty to forty years, both inclusive,
will be subject to the call.
"There are,” said Gen. White re
cently, “approximately 190,000 Brit
ishers of American draft age in
this country today, and these have
actually registered with the Ameri
can authorities. There are at least
100.000 more Britishers between
the ages of thirty-one and forty
one. Out of this 290,000 the Brit
ish and Canadian recruiting mission
has actually enlisted 20,000 men
and rejected 15,000. There r.re
thus about 250,000 British subjects
in this country who have not offered
themselves for enlistment.
“Two months after the signing
of the convention these men will
have the opportunity of joining the
British or Canadian Army and I am
now directing the beginning of a
I drive by which I hope in this period
to enlist at least 20,000 more men
directly into the British army. This
is not because Great Britian does not
want her subjects to go into the
American army, but if these men
wait until they are drafted into
the American Army it will be neces
sarily take a long time before they
get to France.
(We’ll be exceedingly sorry to lose
a^few of our best citizens?)

Yes! He begins to think!
A thousand doubts are bred
Behind that puzzled brow,
With-in that hand proped head.
“Why do I spin the s:ik ,
A thousand idlers wear?
Why do I tend the loom
And yet myself go bare?
“Why do I till the fields
And sow the corn and wheat
Then, when a panic comes,
Myself get naught to eat?
“With granaries stuffled full ,
They turn me out to die—
God never meant it thus,
And they who say so, lie!”
Yes! He begins to think!
His soul grows with the thought,
“All things belong to me
For ALL. these hands have wrought!"
