Y. s. Will Build Giant Depot to Supply
Troops at Front.

Washington--W of building an
immense ordnance depot and arsenal
base in France for the Ameycan army
will start soon. A contract for its
construction has been awarded.
The great supply depot will be near

elusive use.
Total cost of the enterprise will be
about 100000 900, It is expected Ma

More than 1000 miles OF standard

Engineering organizations, recruited
largely from the staff of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, already are in France,
preparing for construction work. Pay.
ment for the work will be on the basis

ELEVEN SHIPS SUNK
BY GERMAN RAIDERS
HEAVILY ARMoRED CRUISERS
TAKE HEAVY TOLL IN RAID
IN NORTH SEA.
TEUTONS EvADE BRITISH WATCH
Nine Merchantmen and TWO British
Destroyers Are Prey-No Aid
Given Drowning Survivors.

London-Two British destroyers and
nine unarmed merchantmen was the
toll which two extraordinarily swift
and heavily armed German commerce
raiders took In a North sea battle
last week, according to an announce
Ensnt made by the British admiralty.
The traditions Of the British navy
were fully sustained by the two Brit
fish hornets of the seas--the Mary
Rose and the Strongbow. Outranged
by the raiders guns, outspeeded, they
went into battle and fought to a finish
with their formidable antagonists
two pigmies against giants. Eighty
eight officers and men persisted on the
Mary Rose and AZ on the Strongbow.
The two German raiding ships slip
ped out of their harbor in the dark
They sped north, securing the seas
for merchantmen bringing supplies to
England. Somewhere between the
Norwegian coast-far to the northern
boundry of the North sea-they came
suddenly on feet Of Norwegian and
Swedish merchantmen, conveyed by
the two British destroyers,
No Effort Made to Save Survivors.
The battle was furious, but unequal
from the start. The attack of the
British ships, however, enabled three
of the neutral merchantmen to escape
When the British destroyers were
sunk, the Germans promptly proceed
ed to their assault on the unprotected
and unarmed merchantmen. Five
Norwegian and three Swedish ships
were sunk at once-without examina-
ton of their papers, without warning,
and without any regard for the lives
of passengers and crews aboard them
Then the two marauders, fearing arri
val of British patrol boats, turned tail
and fed Not an effort was made to
rescue survivors who struggled in the
water.
Two British vessels attracted by
the sound of the gunfire, later picked
up 80 Norwegians and others. A
Christiania dispatch added that the
admiral commandant of the Swedish
navy had reported the rescue OF 81
persons from Norwegian and Swedish
ships"-presumably survivors of the
same German sea victims.

BANK ROBBERS GET $4,000
Auto Bandits Make Big Haul In Two

Grand Rapids-Bank robbers in a
daring automobile raid Saturday, clear

At $3.50 a. m. the Farmers State
bank at Vaudeville was robbed, cash
to the amount of 500, 400 being secured
by the safeblowers.
Indications are that the two banks
were robbed by the same gang. Alto
and Vaudeville are about 10 miles
apart by automobile road
Three robbers drove into Middle
vile at $3.50 and after robbing the
Blake department store of a number
of blankets blew the safe in the Farm
ers' State bank and escaped with 500.
400 in cash, leaving $4,000 in bag on
the floor Of the bank building.
Five explosions were heard by the
villagers but no one went to the scene
until after the bandits had fed. The
job was apparently done by the same
gang that recently robbed the bank
at Climax, according to Sheriff Cor
nelius Manni, of Barry county.
The men drilled hole l. the safe
with an electrically driven drill and
blew the safe, modern strongly built
vault, to pieces.

ARMY BY CLASSES
WAR DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES
CHANGE IN METHOD OF
DRAFTING MEN.
BACHELORS AND OILERS co FIRST
War Workers and Men With Families,
or other Dependents, viii Be Last
to Go, Under New Ruling.

Washington-A new method of rails
ng future draft armies has been an
nounced by the war department.
It involves many and important
changes in the original system. AS ex-
planned at the Office of the provost
marshal general, the plan is designed
to put the right man into the right
place at the right time.
1t means the examination of every
registered man who has not already
been sent to camp, including those
who were exempted from the first
draft. In practical operation, it will
probably mean a general exemption
during the next draft of nearly all
married men or men who have depen-
dents of any kind.
After an official statement, signed
by Maj.-Gen. f. II. Crowder provost
marshal general, had been issued
there was a further explanation of
the new plan by one of his aides,
giving an idea of how it will be put
into operation.
Divided Into Five Glasses.
The registered men will be divided
into five classes.
In class one they will place all men
who can most easily be spared for
military duty. This will include men
with no persons dependent upon them.
Men with wives and families who are
not dependent will not be exempt per
Sc, although it is expected that mar
ried men, generally speaking, will not
go into class one. Men who are not
skilled workers in any particular oc.
cupation, or who are not skilled work.
ers in any particular occupation, or
who are engaged in an occupation not
necessary to the prosecution of the
war. will go into class one.
In class Two the local board will
place the men who are slightly less
preferable for military duty. such as
men with partial dependents and those
who are skilled in certain needed &C.
equations.
In class three. will be placed the
men who are highly skilled operatives
or who have persons utterly depen-
or small children.
In class four will go the men who
are the last to be taken for military
purposes, those who may have large
families who would be left destitute if
the breadwinner should be taken away
or who are absolutely essential factors
in war work.
In class five will be grouped men
who will never be called for military
service, such as cripples, mental OF
moral detectives, criminals and the
like, or persons whose physical unfit.
ness is manifest even without exami.
nation. This is the discard class. No
man who is placed in it will ever get
into the army.
Class One Summoned First.
When these FIVE classes are estab-
lished by the local boards, all over the
country, the war department will be
yready to proceed with the business OF
raising the second draft army. Men
in class one will be summoned first
for physical examination and no class
two man will be taken in any draft dis
trict until the entire roster of class
'one is exhausted.
While there is no way of obtaining
accurate information at this time, 1t is
believed that few men outside of class
one will be taken in the next draft
of 500, 900 men, which is expected to be
