HORRIBLE STORY
OF RESULT OF A
RECENT BATTLE
LONDON, April 27.—The sharpest
fighting of the last three days has
been in the neighborhood of Monchy
le-Pruex, the loss of which was not
evidently a part of the enemy's plan,
says the London Times this morning.
They are making desperate and costly
efforts to recover it. In one day what
were practically five counter attacks,
were delivered. All were beaten off
and the enemy’s loss is believed to
have been about 4,000.
One German advance in two col
umns, supported by a third on the
south side of Monchy, reached within
150 yards of the trenches held by an
English regiment which opened with
rifle fire and machine gun fire. The
line wavered and then stopped dead.
The remnants fled to the east. The
attacking forces actually reached a
temporary advanced trench, where
they came under an enfilading fire
and suffered terribly. One small Brit
ish party at a point which enfiladed
the trench had an extraordinary ex
perience, shooting continuously till
the trench was practically heaped with
dead. It is reported one officer shot
more than 40 Germans himself.
SAYS GOTHAM RECRUITS
ARE 97 PER CENT UNFIT
NEW YORK, N. Y„ April 21.—Un
cle Sam’s appeal for men to stand be
hind him in the somewhat tardy strug
gle to maintain the country’s rights is
daily causing thousands of young men
to step to the front and offer their
services for any enterprise he shall
lead.
The manhood of New York is
aroused, and each day gives increased
evidence that this city will furnish
more than its share of volunteers for
service through the approaching un
settled times.
A canvass of the recruiting head
quarters in this city, however, estab
lishes one fact, and that is that only
about 3 per cent of those who apply
for enlistment can pass the required
tests and are accepted into the service.

HAS BIS FORCE
| OF RESERVES
NEW YORK, N. Y.—If the war de
partment will accept Colonel Roose
velt’s offer to lead a division to the
European war front, here is what it
is claimed he can do: Have a com
pletely organized division of 23,000
men, including infantry, cavalry, artil
lery, engineers, machine gun detach
ments and aerial corps, ready for ac-1
tive service within four months. In
addition he has 100,000 reserves wait
ing to be called for service.
' Requisitions are ready for every
item of military equipment for the di
vision. These requisitions can be pre
sented to the war department within
two hours after the command is or
ganized.
Most of the men who have volun
teered for the Roosevelt division have
had previous military training. Here
are some of the notables who are j
ready to joini Senator James Hamil
ton Lewis, of Illinois, Charles Jerome
Bonaparte, former attorney-general; i
Roy O. Woodruff, republican congress-1
man from Michigan; William Curtis!
Farabee, explorer; John M. Parker,
Louisiana, bull moose candidate for
vice-president in the last election;
Medill McCormick, congressman from
Illinois; Jack Greenway, famous Yale
end of years ago; Seth Bullock, Gif
ford Pinchot, Lieutenant-Governor!
Oglesby, Illinois; Rock Channing for-!
mer rough rider; Sidney Drew, Actor;
Judge Alfred Page, New York; Prof.
Hiram J. Bingham, Yale; Robert I).
Curry, former governor of Wyoming;
Dr. S. Edward Young, Brooklyn; Dr.!
Otin B. Colt, Rockville Center; Rear
‘Admiral Winslow, U. S. N.; State
Senator Hutchinson, Washington, and
Randolph Hagerman, Denver.
No applicants under 25 years of age
are being accepted for the division and
so great has been the response that
Colonel Roosevelt could not only en
roll a division of 23,000 men, but has
i enough applicants to make three full i
army corps.
Tentative organizations have been
filled in several states. Texas and
South Dakota and Arizona have com
plete regiments ready and drilling.
Utah and Wyoming have regiments
almost ready.

on heavy artillery. Recently he de

blockade question.
