AL TO FIRE Copenhagen, July 25—A_remark- ably frank article by the Berlin cor- respondent of the National Tidende passed by the foreign office censor- ship discusses the seamy-side of tha submarine campaign and the effects it .has on neutrals. It is generally recognized, he says, that the longer the campaign continues, the fewer friends Germany will have after the war. This consideration together with the thoughts of the many bil- lions, which another six months would cause were the principal fac- tors which influenced 4 majority of the Reichstag into line for a bid for immediate peace. The correspondent says that it is generally. admitted that the, effect of the campaign has been miscalculated not regarding the amount of tonnage destroyed, but as! to the time required to make its ef- fect felt in England. The German people are still convinced that they will succeed if they be given time, and they themselves are able to hold out. Disappearance of Children The correspondent gives as two of the most striking impressions upon his return to Berlin of the disappear- ance of children, who have been sent to the country in thousands, and the new type-of Berliner, a lank in- dividual with skin hanging in folds, who had supplanted the corpulent German. A few have lost less than 15 pounds in weight, many more than 30, but they are healthy and usually improved. Another feature is the disappearance of vegetables, owing to drough. Green groceries display only lemons and onions.

Awaiting Advices. _ Charles Leissmann is still awaiting advice from Washington as to the| credits due the various counties for the men assembled in federal service at Fort Lincoln. A majority of these credits will go to Burleigh, Morton and Stutsman counties, from which the companies of the Second battalion which have not yet reported credits, were recruited. Stark county's credits have been reported, but there may be some changes in the net quota as this county as well as others from which men have been drawn for Companies A, F, K and H. Aside from these changes, the net quotas will stand practically as reported in The Trib- une last week. Mr. Leissman was in- forma Y today, that, the; belated reports | from Washington.,may, he,, expected Lys evening or; tomorrow, , morning, wher the tabulation: of, all net county quotas will be completed. Lists Next Week. Official draft lists piaced in the mail at Washington yesterday, probably will not reach the adjutant general's office until Friday or Saturday, and it is not likely that duplicate conies can be furnished all county exemption boards until the middle of next week. Men drafted in ghe first division, therefore, need not expect notice to appear for at least five days 40 come. Must Get Off Boards. Advices from Washington today are that men eligible to draft who are serving on county exemption boards must be replaced. A number of changes in county boards already have been made, and others are to follow. Indian Jumble. Mr. Leissmann is still at a loss to know what to do with lists of Indian registrants received by the county boards in which the registration was made after their lists of registrants had _ bee ally numbered. The In- ation lists were numbered by the Indian agents, and were not filed with the county boards until July 10. Naturally the serial numbers borne by these Indian lists conflict with the numbers appearing on the regular county lists, and if adopted would result in two men being drafted on the same number in reservation Provost Marshal Gencial ions are io treat istration cards the same as others which were filed with the poard too late to be numbered. = Ir this instance, however, the Indians were registered prior to June 18, as required by the regulations, and they cannot be penalized because the In- dian department red tape resulted in the names reaching the state board late. countie: Cooks Wanted.

Russia's shaken armies in Galicia are still in retreat, which bids fair not to end until they reach an approxi- mate line occupied by them last year before General Brusillof began his big offensive. Despite this extensive retrograde movement, ‘covering the whole front between the north Galt- cian border and the Carpathian foot- hills, the tone of both official and un- official dispatches coming out of Pet- rograd is not pessimistic. Apparent Confidence. There is apparent confidence that the disorganization in the ranks in- duced.by the machinations of the ex- tremists and believed to have been promulgated by German intriave, will be dealt with and a firm front again presented to the enemy. For one thing, the Germans, by their own admissions have not the men to spare to prosecute a sustained ofteusive on a large scale on she east- ern front. The British on the front are keeping them too busy and they are too apprehensive of some extra forceful stroke in the west to transfer any great number of troops from the Franco-Belgian war area. The Russians have jig reserves of /men, and Premier, Kerensky. will find .it possible, it is believed, to weed out the disloyal element rapidly from the front ranks and replace them ‘vith the hosts of dependable . troops, which Russia still possesses.
