& ~y KITCHENERSNOW AT FRONT IN FRANGE New British Army. Forced to ~ Stand Jokes of Regulars (Correspondence of the. Associated Press.) British Headquarters, France, July 22.—The ‘“Keecheenaires,” as' the French peasants call the new army, ~have .joined “Tommee Atkeens,” the regular, and the “Tereetoreeals” at the front. Tommee begins to feel like the oldest inhabitant. By the way, he does not like to be called “Tommy,” though the world persists in a word which is as objectionable to him as “Jacky” is to the American blue- jacket. The British regular did all the fight- ing for the first flve months of the war. He had his joke at the expense of the territorials, who are about the same as the American National Guard, when they arrived. The territorials thought that they were made soldiers when the war broke out; but they were drilled for months at home before they were sent to France where they were drilled for months at home before they were sent to France where they were drilled some more and set to digging reserve trenches behind the line. 1In the @pring they had their turn, and the Canadians, too. Feel Like G. A. R. Men. “Don’t be downhearted! There are still some Boches left!” the territorials join the regulars in saying to the new army. Besides the new army the ter- ritorials feel like G. A. R. men. “It's kind of you! We knew that you could have killed them all off, if you had wanted to,”” the Kitcheners reply. 4 “Don’t charge too fast! Wait for us to catch up!” call the regulars. “We'll wait on the Rhine!’’ .answer the new army. New Army Well Named. Well named is the new army. It has brought a new element into life at the front. They bear the stamp of long route marches over English roads and of the merciless formal training of the drill ground. - On seeing three or four hundred soldiers bathing in a canal their broad chests and the fine play of their mus- cles told that they were of the first hundred thousand which answered the call to arms last August. ; If the average old-timer of the trenches had to run five miles against the average new army man he would be blown half way and the new army man would trot past the goal an easy winner. Sitting in a dugout under ghell fire is not exercise. When men come out of the trenches, they want to sleep and eat. The tendency is to grow fat. . Veterans Fight-Hardened. The vegterans are fight-hardened and trénch-hardened but not muscle- hardened. That is the reason why the »ficers encourage cricket and footbail and other sports. . It saves,the men from drudgery.nof .eompulsory exer- clses to keep them in condition. '.The other night when one . heard some soldiers billetéd in a barn sing- ing one was certain without asking that they were new army men. The British regular rarely sings in camp or on the march. Neither elated or depressed he plugs along doing his day’s work. As the new army flows in he will be outnumbered but un- changed, Sing “God Save the.King.” Those new army men are singing *“God Save the King,’ before they’lay’ down in the straw for the. #h&m the] land of France which we&"1I%80 mew and strange to them and so common- place to the veterans. 'THéir "fresi yourig voices were pleasant to the war. ‘Everyone hopes they will keep on singing. A mere layman did not know but that they might bring their bands. At intervals one asks himself what is missing in this British army, any way? Then he answers, music, of course.’ If a band were to start playing in the trenches there would be a shrap- nel bullet through the drum and a high explosive in the mouth of the torn in short order. Bands may have np place at the front, but that does not rule out the Scotch bagpipe. ‘When you hear “The Campbells Are Coming” at the head of a comipany marching back from the trenches— well, for want of other music, the bag- pipe becomes sweet to other ‘than Bcotch ears.

To Aid Recruiting. i #The bands were left at home to aid recruiting,” say the new army men. “We did not know but your officers might bring along their swords,” re- marked the old-timers. There the veterans were having a dog at expense of the young junior officers, many of whom were at school when the war began. If there is any ornament which is obsolete at the front it is the sword. Sword Symbol of Auhtority. The sword is the officer's symbol of authority; the sign that he is on duty. In place of it the officer at the front wears his sword belt. Only one fresh to the front would see anything odd in countless officers with empty frogs for holding their swords at their hips. However, if all wore their caps with band and visors and no tops it would soon seem commonplace. The young officer of the new army who a year ago had no idea of ever being an officer also. has the empty frog and carries a walking stick. His sword along with countless swords has been checked outside the cloakroom of war along with his um- brella which no one thinks of carry- ing at the front. You can not tell him from the other officers except by his eagernéss and his battalion in- signia. : “I had studdied trenches and dug practice trenches and witnessed trench demonstrations,” said one of them, “but when I came to go into a trench for instruction under fire I found that it was not like what I had imagined. I wonder why nobody has yet been able to describe a trench so you can really see it. Even the photographs deceive you. They are always taken of some show trench.” Everybody Very Kind. For ten months the new army had waited for its Mecca. Its soldiers have read all about the effects of modern shell fire. They know what they are in for. Learners they came among ex- perts, expecting to be ragged a great deal as novices by the old hands, and except for the veteran regular’'s little jokes at their expense they have found everybody very kind. ‘“We need you—and there can’t be too many of you,” say the old-timers. “It's you who must finish the job which we have begun.” There are men in this new army who have incomes of ten thousand a year digging trenches beside a man who had not a shilling when he en- listed; university graduates taking their baptism of shell fire as privates who ‘pal up” wtih men who can hard- ly read and write.

Prominent Busincss and Professional Men to Get Military Training. Philadelphia, Aug. 9.—Nearly 100 men prominent in business and pro- fessional life in this city, including many well known athletes, polo play- ers and former collegians, left today for Pattsburgh, N. Y., where they will undergo a four weeks course of instruction under regular army of- ficers. The vanguard of the local contingent had already left for the camp where they will join more than a thousand other recruits in under- going elementary training in military maneuvers.

Against Two Men Partisan State Elec- tion Bills in California. Sacramento, Cal.,, Aug. 9.—The ref- erendum has been invoked against two of the four non-partisan state election bills, the chief measures ad- vocated by Gov. Johnson at the re- cent session of the California legis- lature. The last belated petitions on file here with the secretary of state assure a place on the ballot for the measures at the special election next October. The non-partisan election bill eliminates party designations for all | kinds of state offices. The second of the two measures, the operation of which is now held up, prescribes the form of ballot to be used in future elections under the non-partisan act. other | 'RUBBISH FOUND IN RUSSIAN MUNITIONS Gasualties Among Czar's.

The paper says, however, that this esti- mate seems guess work, as the mil- itary authorities themselves do not know the real totals. ,Nothwithstand- ing the tremendous lasses the Russian people are cheerful and confident, for they believe Germany’s financial col- lapse is near. Teutons Well Fed. Berlin, Aug. 9.—On account of the conditions under which the German and Austrian armies are advancing through the districts of Poland dev- astated by the Russians before their retreat, was given out yesterday by the Overseas News Agency. It fol- | lows: “The colossal scale on which ar- rangements were made to supply the armies caused a sensation in the towns evacuated by the Russians. Hundreds of thousands of troops be- tween the Vistula and the Bug are being as well fed as if they were at home. The men receive three warm meals daily. Great herds of cattle are driven behind the advancing troops. Mililons of bottles of mineral water are distributed among the men. The railroads were re-opened speed- ily by the Germans and Austrians solving the problem of restoring facil- ities for forwarding troops by rail. The furnishing of supplies to the men has been accomplished notwithstand- ing the fact that the Russians re- moved all such supplies and set fire to the villages before they retreated. Eight Cartridges Daily. “An officer of the Russian general staff said that Brest-Litovsk (on the Bug river, east of Warsaw) would be unable to resist such a charge as that made by the army of General von Woyrsch. Russian prisoners at Ivan- gorod say that for some time they re- ceived anly eight cartridges daily. “The only representatives of neu- tral. countries remaining at their posts at Warsaw are those of the United States and Norway. Attempts have been made to organize bands of ma- rauders from the lower classes. ‘“A correspondent of the Tageblatt at Lemberg, Galicia, reports that a man who succeeded in escaping from Warsaw before its capture savs that in spite of closest surveillance on the part of the Russian authorities lamations were circulated appe to the peaple. to oppose the military and pay off old scores aaginst the Russians. ‘Welcome Prince Leopold. ~ “Prince Leopold of Bavaria receiv- ed a tremendous ovation when he en- tered Warsaw. Citizens af neutral countries, particularly American news- paper correspondents, participated in the celebration . Crowds of Poles greeted the Germans as liberators. The people disregarded orders to leave the town before its evacuation. Families of peasants, driven by the Russians into Warsaw already have been sent back to their homes. ‘“There were similar scenes of pop- ular rejoicing when the Germans occupied Ivangorod and Lubin, where large stores of flour and other materials fell into the hands of the conquerors. The generals command- inf the first arrival of troops were greeted formally by representatives of the cities;. The Germans promised that the new regime would be mil provided the people obeyed policW regulations.” Overseas News Report The following news items were giv- en out today for publication by the Overseas News Agency. ‘““Telegrams from Athens give -re- ports of increasing friction between., French and British officers on the Gallipoli peninsula.

ORTEGA ORDERED T0 LEAVE MEXICO | Guatemalan Minister Given His Passports by Carranza - Washington, Aug. 9.—The Pan- American conference initiated here last week to devise a plan for restor- ing government in Mexico probably will be resumed in New York city next Wednesday. Secretary Lansing made this announcement last night upon his return from New York, where he conferred with Secretary McAdoo early in the day. Mexican affairs and the co-operative efforts of the United States and Latin-American republics to end the factional strife were discussed generally. “We talked of the Mexican situa- tion,” said Secretary Lansing, ‘‘but we did not consider any financial plan for supporting a Mexican government. The principal purpose of my visit to New York was to talk with Mr. Mc- Adoo concerning financial arrange- ments for the Pan-American confer- ence to be held in Buenos Aires in September. There is consideradle preliminary work to be done in con- nection with that.” Ortega Given Passports. Administration officials who were inclined to believe Saturday that a peace parley between Mexican fac- tions might soon result independent of the appeal to the military leaders, which will go forward from Pan- American national were not .so san- guine yesterday. Reports from Mexico City that Dr. Juan J, Ortega, the Guatemalan minister there had been given his passports by Carranza and ordered TCene dinee within twenty-four hours were sponsible for this change of mind asmuch as Guatemala represented in the Latin-American conference, Carranza's drastic action is regarded here as indicating a disposition of un- friendliness toward the conference. Ortega’s ~ forced departure from Mexico, together with the departure of Mr. Cordoso de Oliveira the Brazil- ian minister to Mexico City, will leave in .the Mexican capital no diplomatic representatives of any of the seven nations participating in the Mexican conference. Unfriendly With Carranza, Dr. Ortega, it is stated here, has not been.on good terms with General Carranza for some time. It also has been learned that Carranza's agents in Washington during the last few days have been appealing to the Gua- temalan minister here, Mr. Mendez, urging him to support the cause of joint ‘deliberations now being held. Their appeals, it is declared, have not been successful. Dispatches were sent also inquiring yinto the reported action of General Carranza, in giving Minister Ortega his passports. The Guatemalan min- ister 'here sent an inquiry to Mexico City, but had received no replay yes- terday. British Subject Arrested, Inquiries were sent to Vera Cruz by the state department also regard- ing a report to the Carranza agency here that W. H. Francis, a newspa- per correspondent and British sub- ject, had been arrested there chargcd with sending ‘‘malicious and libelous information to the foreign press.” The Vera Cruz report said that “‘an- other correspondent guilty of the same offence and fearing prosecution has taken refuge in the United States consulate.
