DRAFTED MEN TO
ORIGINAL STATUS

The new selective- service regula-
tions have been made public by the
Provost Marshal General. Supplies Of
them have been received by the gov
ernors of states, and they are for
warding them to local and district
boards at once for study.
Certain of the regulations went into
effect on November 20, while others,
notably those which govern the pro-
cess of selection and classification, will
not go into effect until Dec. Is.
The new regulations not only re-
peal all preceding regulations but can
Gel all exemptions and dicharges
which have been granted by local
boards under the present system. This
will restore every man to his original
status, and the local boards will send
a questionable to every man who is
not in the service.
The completion by the registrant of
this document is the first great stage
of the new system, and the difficulties
which will attend it are fully recog-
nized by the Provost Marshal General,
who has begun the mobilization of the
legal talent of the country to enable
everyone who seeks to receive aid in
the preparation of his QUESTIONABLE.
Under the new regulations the local
boards will send out per cent. of
their questionaires each day for a
period covering 20 days. This method
of distribution will allow the board to
instruct, complete and file each days
QUESTIONABLE without the confusion and
congestion which would attend the
efforts to require a larger number.
The new regulations also contain a
complete set of the forms to be used
by the local boards, every form being
printed in full, and many are complet-
ed to serve as models. 'sA8
forssF aBossd VIII liii Y
Of the proposed forms. " sFs'sS
If the registrant is a farmer or a
skilled man in any enterprise which is
necessary to the public interest, he
must state the facts in minute detail;
but so skillfully has the QUESTIONABLE
been designed that every answer is an
ticipated and requires only in rare in
stances more than two or three words.

With the American Army in France,
Nov. Ga small detachment of Ameri'
can infantrymen was attacked in the
front line trenches early Saturday
morning by a much superior force OF
German shock troops. The Americans
were cut off from relief by the heavy
barrage in their cal. They fought
CALAMITY until overwhelmed solely by
numbers. The fighting in the trenches
was hand-to-hand. 1t was brief and
fierce in the extreme. AS a result of
the encounter three Americans were
killed and five wounded. A sergeant
and a corporal and ten men were
taken prisoner.
Two French soldiers who were in
the trenches also were killed. The en-
envy lost some men but the number is
unknown, as their dead and wounded
were carried off by the retiring Ger
manc.
From the beginning of the engage
ment until the end the Americans
lived up to all the traditions of the
American army, the records showing
the bravery of the detachment and of
individual members.
The French general in command Of
the division of which the American
detachment formed a part, expressed
extreme satisfaction at the action of
the Americans, for they fought brave
ly against a numerically superior en-.
envy, the handful of men fighting un-
til they were smothered.
The whole American expeditionary
forces are thrilled by the fight put up
by their comrades and all are anxious
to get a chance to deal a blow.

ance as has been extended to France
by Great Britain and now by America.
He said he felt help was needed urg-
emily and that Russia asked 1t as her
right.
He urged that the United States
give aid in the form of money and sup
plies and appealed to the world not to
lose faith in the Russian revolution.
Russia, M. Kerensky added, was
taking an enormous part in the strug-
gle and those who said she was out of

Russia has fought consistently
from the beginning. She saved France
and England from disaster early in the
war. She is worn out by the
strain and claims as her right that the
allies now shoulder the burden"
Thus Premier Kerensky explained
Russia's position to the correspond
ent. The premier was seated in the
library of the former private office of
the emperor in the winter palace. The
correspondent called attention to
widely contradictory reports on Rus
sia's conditions and asked the premier
for a frank statement of the facts.
