Wash AprH 39. While the ereater nart o Camp Lewis was deserted today for a military problem on which the en tire division was engaged, the ner sonnel of the receiving station put in its busiest day of the April draft. Late this afternoon, more than 1900 men had been received and another group of about 100 was on its way from the railway station. Late ar rival of many of those expected at camp yesterday was responsible for tne numbers today only 1607 being scheduled. They began coming at 4 o'clock this morning and at times nearly &uo men were in line. The military problem which called out tne entire division on a field march of some six miles to a Doint near, Roy was the most pretentious undertaking of the training activities ana omcers were pleased with the re- suits. The men started from camp aoout 8 o'clock, proceeding alon r uv routes ana shortly arter JO. Major General H. A.

Activities at the concentration point consisted of matching: and counter-marching, commanders keep ing in constant touch with their troops through the field telenhone and motorcycle messengers. Car. rier pigeoni from the signal corns were used to carry messages from the fiela to camp. Shortly after noon General Greene gave the orders for the return to camp and within a few minutes the entire division was In motion. Great clouds of dust rising high In the air designated the line of march before the men came into view of the move ment of the denim-clad soldiers, ac companied by their wagons, was. pict uresque.

The allies are not so well provided In this respect. , Utile rrogreHK Made. Up to the present, however, the fmy has. made, little progress on eitner end or tne line, nut nis men ace has '.not been effaced. It Is known that the Germans, In spite of their losses,, are very powerful and thta fresh divisions are vailable for further big efforts, notwithstanding the fact- that they already have thrown approximately two million men into the line. Several of these divisions which have not been used are composed 'of excellent material,! but the others heretofore have 6ccu pied quiet sectors, where they have lost some of their i offensive spirit. Many divisions that have participat ed In the battles have boon severely pu n ish t-V Some estimates of their losses amount to as high as a half million men. Conservative calcula tions, however, do not place the loos es bevond 330.000 men. The Cr-i mans have enough men in their de pots ia the interior to fill all ga'is for some time. ' although reconsti tuted divisions never will be able to eoual in fighting quality.tbe original formation, aince large numbers ot the men have been wounded and af ter recti Deration again thrown Into the line. Prisoners taken recently do not display the old-time feeling of certainty that the great blow.j which has been so long prepared, will vield immediate ana iuii success.
