beard from Secretary Ilaker today
that the American soldier has made
Rood la Frence. and that the men
of the expeditionary force are well
physically and In high splrif.
Although he reported his arrlva'.
Jy telephone last night, the .war
secretary saw the president for thi
first time since his return from Eu
rope when they met at the cabinet
table. He did not attempt to give a
full report on what he saw and
heard abroad, and much of the time
during- the meeting listened to .dis
cussion of things done in his ab
sence by heads of other government
war a'gencles.
Later. Mr. Haker said that even
casual observation made It evident
tttt tremendous progress has bei
made on the war nrorram since he
sailed for France.
ALLIED SITUATION
IS MUCH IMPROVED
(Contlnuetf from page 1)
successes are to be recorded for the
rone belows Arras, although this sec
tor has retired to the background
since the drive to Hazebrouck.
Not only have the British stood
off numerous of the enemy's masses
at Bucquoy but they have forced the
Germans out of Boyelles- .and re-established
themselves In this place.
All was heartening, although no
delusions ' are held as. to. prospects
of further mighty blows by the Prus
sian machine. ,
' rOIXT IH IMPOItTAXT
' WASHINGTON. April 17., (Of
fensive) For the moment the Ger
man drive at the British line has lo
calized on the sector running from
Ballloul around to the eastward of
Ypres and military men here are
watching with eager Interest the
British counter-attacks on this nar
row front, where further enemy suc
cesses probably would mean the evac
uation of a large stretch of territory.
While the British official state
ment that the lines east of Ypres
had been withdrawn and readjusted
on a new front did not give the po
sition of the new line. It Is known
that the general trend of the British
Unss on this northern flank of the
great battle now is represented by
almost a right angle. Troops which
faced due east only a week ago are
now fighting on a front that extends
in a general east and west direction
and they are facing south. From the
lines to the east of Ypres the British
have been swung back on twelve
mile front with the Ypres positions
as the hinge of the movement. That
hinge now forms a broad salient In
to the German lines which they are
trying to flatten out. i
Should the German effort fall. It Is
believed here the British will be left
on a strong strategic position. By a
counter-attack from Ypres they
might reconquer all the ground lost
In this northern extension of the
battle front. The desperate nature
of the attacks aimed at the capture
of Ypres Indicates the belief of the
German commanders that their po
sition will be untenable unless they
can widen It In that direction.
Had anyoqe said months ago that
there would soon be rejoicing to see
the Biitlsb withdraw and abandon
the Passcjiendaele ridge system.
wnich was won with such difficulty
last summer, It would have excited
derision. But the whole Brltlsh'aimy
Is glad at this bold move. It not
only lessens the danger from the j
enemy drive about Wytscbaete and
Balneal, but it greatly shortens the
defensive line.
The retirement was .a, result of
matured judgment. The new lines
had been prepared and artillery had
been ptoced In position before the
Infantry Quickly began to pull back
under cover of darkness.
fiei-mans Were Hurprifted.-
It the Germans anticipated any
such move they did not look for It
at the time It happened. They began
to push cautiously forward when It
became apparent that nothing unusu
al had happened. They found the
forward positious vacant and advanc
ed in greater numbers. Then the
British artillery opened at an oppor
tune moment and deluged the whole
territory with an Inferno of fire,
which worker havoc among the
wandering Infantry.
The Germans must now pull for
ward and once more man the diffi
cult heights, and they will have to
drag their artillery up over bad
ground to the positions which It oc
cupied before the British offensive
began last summer. It will be an
undesirable task.
, Calculations lct.
Coincidently with their drives
around Bailleui and. to the north.
me Germans have continued to push
hard to the south of Mervllle, In
order to get to the line of La Basse
canal. Tne enemy bad expected to
get through Betbune and most of the
waterways on the first Or second day
OH the offensive in this sector, but
the determined detenso offered upset
all their, calculations. The Germans
have only a few good roads in this
region over which they can send
their transports and these highways
are kept under continual fire by tho
British artillery and are being bomb
ed so constantly that they are filled
with the wreckage of the enemy
transport and dead borses.
Numerous enemy attacks have
been delivered about Locon, but In
every sector they were repulsed. Yes
terday at racaut wood, northwest of
ix)con, an unusual engagement was
staged when the German and British

FEWER MEN ARE
RETURNED FROM
U. S. ARMY CAMP
Physical Unfitness Now No
' Reason for Rejecting Men
at American Lake ,
CASUAL OFFICE NEW
Recruits Sent There Provided
With Special Duties
Baseball Squad Out
CAMP &KWIS, TACOMA, Wash.,
April 17. Since the Inauguration of
the plan of accepting men Into the
national army for special ' limited
service the number of drafted' men
rejected because of physical dlsabli-
ty has fallen considerably. Since
the first of April more than 4500
men . have been received at Camp
lewls from the local boards of
Washington. Oregon, California.
Montana. Idaho. Nevada, Utah and
Wyoming. Of this number only 124
were rejected as physically unfit and
300 were designated for special lim
ited service.
The reasons for this, according to
army Officers, are partly due to the
greater care used by the loel ex
amining boards who have had great
er, experience In examining men
than at the time or the first draft
andto the fact that th new regula
tions operate so that virtually every
man capable of earning a livelihood
Is accepted for service In some ca
pacity with the 'army, thus releasing
an able-bodied man for active field
duty.
When a man Is classified as fit
only, for special service, he is as
signed to the casual company of tho
depot brigade where he la given spe
clsl training to remedy the physical
defects, If such Is possible In some
cases he is assigned to special cleri
cal' work where he is noj obliged ti
submit to the long marches and
strenuous drill. ; ,
. Special quarters are being pre
pared for these men who will be as
signed to limited service when the
new draft begins coming Into camp
the latter part of the present month.
With approximately 10,000 men corn
ing Into'camo with the next draft.
It Is estimated the number of special
service men will be between 00 and
7C0. This Is on the basis of the per
centage of such men In the previous
draft.' -
About thirty men a day are being
received at the receiving station of
the casual office now, the men being
principally sent here to fill up state
quotas- depleted by exemptions or
transfer. Occasionally there Is a
man accused of draft evasion, but
these cases are rare. One man re
cently was on the point of obtaining
discharge because of defective hear
ing when the examining physicians
found three . Inches of shoestring
Jammed tightly Into bis ears.! This
was removed and he was sent to a
training battalion and Is sow learn
ing to be a soldier. Another man
was found who used a drug to msko
his heaft action, Irregular. He was
detected and now is in the army.
Cases or this kind Are few. It was
said today. It Is more common for
the rejected man to lodge a com
plaint that he has not been given a
square deal and they beg and even
demand to be given military service
of some sort rsther than be sent
home as physically nnflt.
