across the stripa river in Gancia, pen
entrated three Lines of enemy trenches
and took $500 additional prisoners.
The war Office announcement indicated
sweeping gains everywhere, including

go higher than the $4,000 so far taken.

physicians are AT work in them, or
receiving special training under the
direction Of the government in order
to ft them for the special work to
which they may later be assigned. The
Red Cross Is providing vast quantities
OF medical supplies for this work. The
great need at present is for moro

made to bring the subject to the at

that which the professional nurse uses

1t Is prescribed by the selective
service regulations that the legal adj
visory boards shall consist Of disinter-
ested and capable lawyers and laymen
who are to be present at all times
during which local boards are open
for the transaction of business, either
at the office of the board or at other
convenient places. for the purpose OF
advising registrants of the true mean
ing and intent of the selective service
law and of the regulations. and Of as
ststing registrants to make full and
truthful answers to the question:

administration Of the law and the
regulations. iii.

An effort will; be made to have

1t is pointed out again that it is
urgently necessary on the part of
every registrant to reply to the ques-
tionnaire Of the war department with,
in a period of I've days from Its
sent to the last known address Of the
registrant, and his failure to receive
1t will he considered no excuse in the
eyes Of the board.
1t is also emphasized that, every
registered mar must answer the ques-
tionnaire. whether he has already
been exempted or not. The exemption
granted to a number of men in the
county are invalid as far as the new
regulations are concerned, and every
exempted man must fill out the blank
as well as those who have been draft
ed. The only exceptions are those
who are already serving In the army
or navy. 49,
There are 2,sls registrants in
Grand Forks county. and Of these S64
filed claims for exemption: 244 were
allowed, 100 not allowed. Eighty
registrants were discharged by the
district board. All OF these men must
answer the questions In the question

not be claimed in justification for
neglect to comply with the reEula-
tons. W.
