Following is Secretary of War fBaker's announcement of the order: i "By virtue of the authority vested •in him by an act of congress, entitled I'An Act to Authorize the President (,t>to Increase Temporarily the Military 1" Establishment of the United States,' (approved May 13, 1917, the president •_: fof the United States has ordered the Jaggregate number of 687,000 men to jbe raised by draft for the military jservice of the United States in order to bring to full strength the organ­ isations of the regular army and the W'. organizations embodying the raeia* hers of the National Guard drafted into the military service of the United States and to create the national army, and hasv caused said aggregate number to be apportioned to the sew eral states and territories and the District of Columbia as set fOrth 14 the schedule "hereto appended. ^ Must Apportion Quota*. •The governor of each state and ter­ ritory and the commissioners of the district of Columbia, actipg for and by the direction of the president and it! accordance with said set of congress and rules and regulations prescribed pursuant thereto, shall apportion the quota so apportioned to such state, ter­ ritory or district and shall communi­ cate to each local board established in such state, territory or district no­ tice of the net quota to be furnished by such board, and such net quotas shall thereupon be furnished by the re* spective local boards as required by said act of congress and rules and reg­ ulations prescribed pursuant thereto." In computing the number of men to be required from the various states the government put to the credit of each state every man It now lias in the National Guard and every mqn it has contributed since April 1 aa 9 war volunteer to the regular army. Computation Method. Placing on the debit side of the led­ ger the national army of 500,000, the entire National Guard at war strength and the number of war volunteers needed* r on April 1 last, to bring the regulars up to the war strength, the grand total was apportioned according to population. This gave a gross quota for each state, from which a net quota was com­ puted by checking off the number of National Gujardsmen available for fed­ eral service and the number of men given by the state to the regular army since April 1. The apportionment was made on the basis of an estimated grand total for the United States and its possessions of 105,366,056 inhabitants. Total of 1,152,985. Each will furnish under this appor­ tionment the men Its total registration would Indicate as a fair proportion rather than the number the actual pop ulation of the district would indicate. The total of these gross quotas is 1,- 152.985 men. Credit is given to the various «tates for a total of 465.985 voluntary enlist­ ments in the National Guard and reg- ulars,"making the total net quota for all states 687,000 men.

Copenhagen, July 17.---Cotiht thrich K. von Boctcau, one of the great aris­ tocrats of the empire, and a cousin of Count von Bernstorff, has Been select­ ed to succeed Dr. Alfred Zimmermann M the German foreign secretary. His selection Is a tactful offset to the ap­ pointment of a commoner to the' chan- celorshlp. The reichstag, according to a Berlin dispatch, has adj(turned, the president, Dr. Johannes Kaempf, being author­ ized to summon the body "as soon as circumstances allow." The reichstag's proposed peace reso­ lution. which, according to the Berlin Tageblatt, a majority of the bloc of the center, radicals and socialists, de­ cided to Introduce unchanged Upon the Reassembling of the reichstag, reads as follows: "As on August 4, 1914, soon the threshold of the fourth year of the wnr. the German people stand upon the as­ surance of the speech from the throne. *we are driven by no lust of conquest.' "Germany took up arms in defense of the liberty and Independence and for the integrity of Its territories. - The reichstag labors for peace and a mu­ tual understanding and lasting recon­ ciliation among the nations. Forced ac­ quisitions of territory and political, economic and financial violations are Incompatible with such a pence. "The reichstag rejects all plans aim­ ing at an economic blockade and the stirring up of enmity among the peo­ ples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be assured. Only an eco­ nomic peace can prepare the ground for the friendly associations of the peoples. "The reichstag will energetically promote the creation of International Judicial organizations. So long, how­ ever, as the enemy governments do not accept such a peace; so long as they threaten Germany and her allies with conquest and violation, the Ger­ man people will stand together as one man, hold out unshaken and fight until the rights of Itself and its allies to life and development are secured. The German nation united is unconquera­ ble. "The reichstag knows that in this announcement it is at one with the men who are defending the fatherland; In the heroic struggles they are sure of the undying thanks of the whole people." Germany's first commoner chancellor, Dr. George Michaelis, a bureaucrat without even a noble "Von" before his name, has as yet given no indication of his policy regarding reform and peace. Neither the conservatives nor the liberals have as yet ventured to call him their own. The . chancellor's first step, which might be interpreted as an indication of an open mind, was to receive repre­ sentatives of the two divergent groups in the reichstag and permit them to explain their respective standpoints, the chancellor playing |he role of lis­ tener. The German papers unite In charac­ terizations of his energy and fair- mindedness, but are most reserved in their predictions of his probable pol­ icy. The papers aligned for the so-called German' peace are perhaps a shade more enthusiastic about the political possibilities under the new regime than the radical and socialist organs.

The Russians drove the Austrians out of-the village of Lodzlany, in the Lomnica river region, and retained possession of the eastern end of the town. Northeast of Kalusz the Ger­ mans began an attach. The Russians threw them back. Washington, July 18.--The whole Russian front from the Gulf of Riga to Roumania is reported to official dis­ patches from Petrograd to the Rus­ sian embassy here to be alive with battle. The Germans are said to be rushing up troops from the Italian and French fronts •tend to be entirely rear­ ranging their positions. On the northern front near Riga, German re-enforcements are rushing up by sea transport. On the Lemberg front the troops are being shifted hack and forth by means of heavy au­ tomobiles in an attempt to prevent further advances by General Kornlloff. On the southern front In the Carpathi­ ans, the Austrians are said to be in full flight. The German re-enforcement of the Riga front by transport Is understood here to be for a German counter-of­ fensive as a diversion to the severe Russian* attacks farther south. This has been long threatened, and It Is thought now that General von Moedre, In command there, has been given or­ ders to go ahead. • On the Lemberg front the left flank of the Austro-German army defending that city, is stated to be seriously threatened, with the result that the enemy is rushing men back and forth in heavy automobiles In order to sup­ port the weakened wing. General Korniloff, in taking the town of Kaiusz, made a very serious strategical threat against the whole opposing German forces, and the question remains as to whether he may not complete it with serious results to the Germans. On the Carpathian front the Austri­ ans are said to be "fleeing in panic," stopping only where 'occasional steep hills give them rest. General Tros- dansky, in command of the Russians there, is said to be pressing vigorously forward on the heels of the retreating foe and to be overcoming the rea* guards left among the natural barriers. Other dispatches tell of new rules of army discipline about to be Issued by Minister Kerensky. They will be very brief and will lay stress on the equal responsibility of officers and men. U. S.
