LENS DEFENDERS
ARE IN RETREAT
BRITISH FORCE GERMANS BE.
HIND "swITcH LINES"
STRIVE TO SOLVE THE RIDDLE
Just Where Field Marshal Hala,s
Forces Will Strike Next is Puz-
zling the Teutons. Haig Does
Not Reveal Offensive.

With the British army in the field.
June 27.-The German defenders of
Lens retreated today into Avion. be-
hind the so called Avion Merecour
switch lines" which lies just outside
Of Lens while the British fiercely con-
tinued their movement on Lens. West
Of Lens the British attacked the Ger
mans with tremendous artillery and
the Germans lost heavily whilc a num-
Der of prisoners were taken. The Brit
ish now hold all of the high ground in
the entire Lens saliant.
The enemy was striving fiercely to-
DAY to solve the riddle of Haig's Of
fensive-just where the British would
strike next. 1t is plain from their evil
dences that they can not figure out
whether it will be at Ypres Messines,
Lens, AFRAID or Bullcourt.
A document taken on a prisoner to-
day and exhibited at the headquarters
confessed that the German plan had
been stopped by the British flying
corps before they were able to get
even over their own front lines.
A few however seemed to cross ev-
cry once in while and there were
numerous high battles in the air as a
result.
Field Marshal Haig did not reveal
any of his offensive in the Lens sec
tor in his official statement today.
Northwest of Croiselles our artillery
prevented the development of another
hostile attack early this morning" he
said. West of Oppy we successfully
made night raid and secured num-
her of prisoners. Southwest Of La
Basse our fire stopped the enemy in
an attempting raid.

dition existing in the coal industry at
Boone.
AT Boone there are FIVE mines
capable of produming approximately
1900 tons of coal per day, employing

WILSON NAMES
y. DRAFT BOARDS
EXEMPTION REGULATIONS TO,
BE ANNOUNCED SOON.
WORK TO START NEXT WEEK
Report From the White House Says
That Men Will Be Selected Not
Only for the Army but for All
Other War Work.

Washington, June 27.-President
Wilson today appointed the local
boards named by the governors to
hear exemption claims on the first
draft, by which $4,000 are to be Sc
lected for the army.
The rules governing exemptions
have not vet been issued, but will be
soon, SO the work of selecting the
army may be begun next week.
In a great majority of the cases the
personnel of the boards shows that
President Wilson followed the sugges-
lions of army officials that city and
county officials be utilized.
Boards Named by Governors.
The president, however, had asked
the governors of the various states
to nominate candidates for the
boards, and it may be assumed that
the boards as announced have the
approval, not only of the president,
but of the state executives.
In New York city and Philadelphia
the boards have not yet been an
nounced.
The "a states in which committees
are complete, with those. exceptions,
are Washington, West Virginia, Utah,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mime
sofa, Nevada, Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Colorado,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas,
Tennessee, Connecticut, Illinois, New
York and Pennsylvania.
Exemption regulations were whipped
Into final shape at the cabinet meet
ing. President Wilson probably will
promulgate them within the next 48
hours.
With few exceptions, the rules are
THE same as contained in the draft
submitted to President Wilson by
Provost General Crowder. 1t is I'M
derstood the president eliminated GER
tain exemptions, believing every man
In the nation must do his share in the
war, whether on the battle front or
not, and work within the country on
war duties will be found for many I'M
mt physically to 90 into the trenches.
VIII Drart Tor war work,
Information emanating from the
White House during the last two days
indicates the draft will be much heav-
Ter than has been suspected. Instead
of merely picking men for the army,
many will be drafted for other war
work.
The grounds on which exemptions
will be made on the first draft follow:
]. Physical incapacity, including
heart disease, fat feet, eye defects
which cannot be corrected by glasses,
tuberculosis and other chest diseases,
cancer, kidney or liver affections, vari-
cose veins, infectious blood diseases.
2. Employment in vital war indus
tries, including shipbuildlng, munitions
making, work in gun and supply fac
tories, navy yards, oil fields, coal mines
and certain government duties. Even
tually women will replace many of
army service.
J 3. Religious opposition. >Only those
who were members of such faith be-
fore March Is will be exempted.
4. Men the sole support of families.
The instructions to the exemption
boards include drastic provisions to
prevent favoritism and evasion of
service. The boards are expected to
begin work Immediately after receiv-
'ug notice of appointment.
