PARIS, June 20 An official state- ment issued Sunday says: "We have identified by prisoners taken two fresh divisions on our Verdun front. The proportion of men belonging to the 1916 class brought up as rein- forcements by the Germans has in- creased considerably. We are able to ascertain the presence of young sol- diers belonging to the 1917 class." A despatch from Amsterdam states that an official order appears in the German papers calling all the sol- diers of the 1917 class to the colors. Fresh attempts by the Germans against the French positions north- east and north-west of Verdun met with no success, says the French War Office, and the Germans suffered heavy casualties in their attacks— delivered against Le Mort Homme and Thiaumont sectors. Again there has been considerable activity in the Argonne forest and in the Vosges mountains, where the French in the former sector used their long-range artillery effectively against German positions, and in the latter sector put down a surprise in- fantry- attack south-west of Cars- pach. The French forces made an attack on the German positions north of HiII 321, west of the Thiaumont farm Saturday morning, capturing some trench elements and taking some 30 prisoners. No infantry attack was made by the Germans in the course of the day, but their artillery continued its vio- lent bombardment of the Frencb po- sitions on Hill 304, and the second line in the Chattancourt sector, on the west bank of the Meuse, and of the sector south of Fort Yana on the east bank. Considerable activity is reported from the St. Mihiel region. There was fighting with hand -grenades in the forest of Apremont, south-east of St. Mihiel, and French artillery bom- barded German camps at Montsee, to the east of St. Mihiel, and caused a fire in the railway station at Vtgneul- les-Hattonchattei, to the north-east of the same town: 810 WHY the not giamveve your traininlag ; d v "When I was a growing lad, anti came upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother. in- stead of giving me the definition when I applied to her, uniformly sent me to the dictionary to learn it. and in this way I gradually learned many things besides the meaning of the iudividtu1 word in question—amongother things', bow to use a dictionary, and the great - pleasnre and advantage there might be in the use of the dictionary. Afterwards, when I went to the village school, my chief diversion, after les- sons were learned and before they were recited, was in turning over the pages of the 'Unabridged' of those .� days. Now the most modern Una. . bridged—theNEW INTERNATIONAL— gives ane a pleasure of the same sort. 8o far as my knowledge extends, it is. at present the best of the one -volume dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses. Even those who possess the splendid dictionaries in several volumes will yet find it a great convenience to have this, which is so compact, so full, and so trustworthy as to leave, in most cases. little to be desired."—Albert S.

WASHINGTON, June 20.—Virg ually the entire' mobile strength of; the National Guard of all states and' the District of Columbia, was order-' ed mustered into the federal service Sunday night by President Wilson.

They will mobilize immediately for such service on the Mexican border as may be assigned to them. Secretary of War Baker Sunday issued the following statement: "In view of the disturbed condi- tions on the Mexican border, and in order to assure complete protection for all .Americans, the President has called out substantially all the state militia, and will send them to the border, wherever and as fully as Gen. Funston determines them to be need- ed for the purpose stated. "If all are not needed an effort+ will be made to relieve those on duty there from time to time so as to tribute the duty. "This call for militia is wholly unrelated to Gen. Pershing's expedi- tion and contemplates no additional entry into Mexico, except as may be _ necessary to pursue bandits who at- tempt outrages on American soil, "The militia are being called out so as to leave some troops in the sev- eral states. They will be mobilized at their home stations where neces- sary recruiting can be done." ther, Paris Thinks. Allied Plan of Operations is Now in Full Swing, and When Germans Go to Meet Russian Drive, West- ern Attack Will Begin—London Also Expectant of Big Events. PARIS, June 20.—The recent Rus- sian successes have afforded great relief to the French people, for it has taken their attention away from the slaughter at Verdun. The French are encouraged, because the activity of the Russians has shown that the Allies are ready, and that the heroic resistance by the French has given the other allied armies time to make ready for an offensive. The French, baing ready first, greatly served the Allied cause by holding the Germans in -check until the British and the Russians got ready. The British claims that they were ready during the Verdun bat- tle were probably true, but the chances of success from a premature offensive have grown smaller. The French have filled the breach and have kept the main German reserves busy at the western front preparing for an allied attack, It is considered likely that theRussiates will continue their drive until the German armies on the western front have been weakened by the necessity of sending fresh troops to stop the Russians. When that has been done the Ger- mans will be faced by a united attack on all fronts, which, it is believed, they will not have the strength to meet. Then the central powers may collapse. Already the Italians are taking advantage of the withdrawal of Austrian reserves toward the Gali- cian front. At last the allied plan of operations is in full swing. Big Events Near. LONDON, June 20.—Partly as a result of the activities on the var- ious war fronts this week a Wide- spread belief exists here that the next fortnight may prove the most important thus far in the war. The continued strictness of the Entente Allies' blockade against Greek ports is engendering a grow - ing rowing feeling of uneasiness in. Govern- ment circles. Rumors are rife that the Entente's ultimatum, which is expected to be delivered Monday, may present as an alternative to compliance with its demands, tbe rupture of diplomatic relations be- tween the entente allies and Greece. It is not thought that the Greek Cabinet can lortg stand the pressure. The lack of breadstuffs on the outer islands of Greece and in the not read- ily accessible parts of the kingdom is already Matting n disturbances, al- though ahthough the GoVtnment insists that tthe available w wheat supply at Piraeus Blore then a month.
