This was the second strong British blow In the region of Vlllers-Gulslaln within a week. There were heavy artillery duels along the front, especially around Lens at the northern end of the Hlndenburg line. Both British and German batteries In that re gion have been re-enforced. Since the British opened the joint drive on April 9 with their assaults on the Arras front the Allies hnve captured nearly 3fi, 000 prisoners and nearly 500 guns from tho Teutons.

If the Wnr Department will nccept Coionel Itoosevelt's offer to lend a division to the Uuropean war'front hero's what the Colonct can do: Have a completely organized division of 23,000 men, Including Infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, machine-gun detach nvents and aerial corps, ready for active service within four months. In addition he has 100,000 reserves wait ing to be called for service. Requisitions are ready for every Hem of mllltnry equipment for the division. These requisitions can be presented to the War Department within two hours nfter the command Is oiganlzed. Most of tho men who have volunteered for the Colonel's division havo had previous mllltnry training. Here are Rome ot the men who, It wns learned today, are ready to join the Colonel's division: Senutor .T. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois; Charles Jeiomc Bonaparte, former Attorney General: Hoy O. Woodruff, Republican Con gressman from Michigan; William Curtis Farnbec. explorer; John M.

Toncy, of Nashville, Tenn., a Confederate veteran, havo offered themselves for any service they may perform. No applicants under twenty-five years of ago nro being accepted for tho division. Officers havo already been selected, nnd so gieat hns been the response that tho Colonel could not only enroll a division ot 23,000 men, but has enough applicants to mako three full army cot pa. More than 25,000 negroes want to go to the Kuropcan fighclni; fiont with tho" Colonel. Tentative organizations have been filled In several States. Toxns nnd South Dakota nnd Arizona havo complete tegl ments ready nnd drilling. Utah and Wyo ming have regiments almost ready. If the Wnr Department will not consider Colonel Roosevelt as commander of the division, ho would bo peifectly satisfied to go as a subordinate olllcer with General Wood In commnnd. Tho Cdonel would bo content with command of a brigade, Thn main thing with the Colonel Is that he wants to go. WSADINGV :.
