new RULES FOR
THE DRAFT ARMY
EACH OF NINE MILLION MEN
NOT YET CALLED OUT WILL
BE CLASSIFIED.
Every Registered Man viii Know His
Exact Position and Will Be Able

ingIy, 1t Is Announced.

Washington.-A sweeping change in
the machinery of the selective draft,
based on division of the 100000 re-
naming registrants into five classes in
order of their eligibility for military
service. was announced Sunday by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder. De-
tails of the plan, ~hich has been APP
proved by President Wilson, are not
disclosed. 1t Is calculated, however, to
do away with virtually all the com
plicated machinery of the first draft
and to make the operations of the local
boards hereafter little more than rub
Der stamp progress.
The campaign was worked out in
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the va
rious state authorities. Its chief feat
ures are that every registered man will
know his exact position and be able
to arrange his affairs accordingly and
that no man deemed necessary in any
important industry or needed at home
to support his family will be called
to the colors unless the military stu
alton is desperate.

THOUSANDS DIE
FROM STARVATION
HELPLESS PEOPLE IN NOUN.
TAiNs IN SYRIA DENIED sUc-
coR.-ARE PERiSHING.
Refusal Of Germany to Allow Safe
Passage Of Relief Ships Was The
Death Sentence of Thousands
Of Syrians.

New York.--A thousand deaths a
day from starvation out of popu-
lation of $4,000 in the Lebanon noun
tains near Beirut, Syria, is the toll of
famine conditions there resulting from
the war, it was declared here Sunday
by the Rev. William III. Hall of the
Syrian Protestant college, who recent
ly returned to this country from relief
work In that district.
Continuing Mr. Hall described the
tragic disappointment of the people
there, whose spirits were kept up for
weeks by the promised arrived last
Christmas time of the American relief
ship Caesar, which would have meant
life to thousands, but which never
arrived owing to the refusal Of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary to grant
her safe passage to Beirut.
The Caesar, naval collier loaned
to the Red Cross by the navy depart
ment, left New York months before
the entry of this country into the war,
as Christmas ship for the needy in
Syria, carrying more than quarter
of million dollars worth Of food and
clothing contributed in this country.
DAY after day the poor, starving
people along the coast and through the
mountains looked and prayed for the
coming Of the American Ship Mr.
Hall said. 1.-THE country was canvass
ed by well organized committees, the
needy were listed, the work of distribu-
ton was thoroughly prepared, offices
were opeL I'd and men chosen to direct
the distribution. The people wait d.
Their hopes were raised high.
week followed week and month fob
lowed month-in suspense the people
daily looked out to sea for her, but the
ship which meant life and hope to
thousands never appeared. She was
held by military necessity while the
people starved
The city of Beirut is as sorely af-
flicted as the mountain districts, Mr..
Hall went on, and day or night one
hears the cry along the streets, II am
hungry-give me bread" This is not
from beggars, but from laborers and
tradesmen, people who have known
the comforts of life.

Federal Commission.

Washington. - President Wilson's
special labor investigating commission
reported on October % settlement of
the strike of more than 500 copper
miners In the Globe-Mia district of
Arizona on a basis which promises to
set a precedent for composing labor
disputes elsewhere.
BY providing for resumption OF
work Immediately, the commission
paved the way for arbitrating other
Arizona copper mine strikes, which
have caused loss of many million
pounds of war metal In the last four
months and resulted In deportations
of strikers and other disorders.
The commission, headed by Secre-
tary Wilson, is expected to press for
settlement of many other industrial
Controversies during its western tour,
of which the Arizona agreement is the
first fruit.

ALLIES TO KEEP UP
FIGHT ALL WINTER
MILITARY EXPERTS LOOK FOR
INCREASING ATTACK UPON THE
WATERING GERMAN LINES.
BY Extending Her Lines In the East,
Germany Has Merely Added to Her
Burdens and Increased Con-
fidence OF Allies.

Washington Military experts here
do not expect winter to halt the great
allied drive against the Germans in
Flanders. Secretary Bakers weekly
review of war operations, issued De-
tober %, discloses the belief of the
war department that potency of ma
terial and men will enable the British
and French commanders to triumph
over natural obstacles and continue
forcing the enemy backward without
waiting for spring.
The review touches for the first
time upon the American expedltionary
forces in France, declaring the men,
after three months of intensive train
ing, are in efficient fighting trim and
splendid physical condition.
In dwelling upon the Importance of
the battle of Flanders and it's effect
upon the morale of the Germans the
war secretary declares it apparent that
the German high command planned the
recent expedition against the Russians
In the Riga sector in order to bolster
up morale and meet impending in
ternal difficulties. BY extending her
lines in the east, he adds, Germany
has merely added to the length of her
line of communications and increased
confidence in the final allies victory.
Along the western front, trench
raids, as well as the usual artillery
duels, are reported. Isolated counter
attacks were conducted by the enemy
in such manner as to indicate that
no real success was expected, but
merely serve to keep up the aggres-
sive spirit of the troops.
Rumors of an impending Austrian
offensive directed against Italy have
been current during the past week.
Reports of concentrations of Austrian
and German divisions to take part in
this attack are noted. Any one ia
miliar with the situation can at once
determine these rumors are eX-
aggerated. Even should the season
permit it, the concentration Of the
number of fresh enemy divisions, esti-
mated as high as forty, could not as
physical possibility, take place in the
narrow Trentino valley, fed by a
single railroad system.
An interesting summary of troop
movements in the United States shows
that since the present mobilization be-
gan 914,1 persons have been trans
ported by the railroads for the war
department, of whom 256,S15 We're
transported in standard or tourist
sleepers, the remainder in ordinary
day coaches. This vast movement has
been conducted by the railroads with
out single serious accident and the
cooperation between the railroads
and the department has been NEST
cordial and effective.

FRENCH DRIVING
GERMANS BACK
GENERAL PETAINs MEN SWEEP
OVER GERMAN DEFENSES
WRECKED BY BIG GUNS.
Audaeious Airmen Aid In Fight, Flying
Over German Positions and Using
Their Machine Guns With
Telling Effect.

London.-The French forces of Gen
eral Petain struck mighty and Inex-
pected blow against the German line
northeast Of scissors Tuesday morn
ing and made some of the most i'm
pOrtant gains of terrain since they
threw back the army of the German
crown prince which was besieging
Verdun.
The stroke was made over front of
about six miles, from the east of
Vauxaillon to Pargny-Filain, and came
after week of heavy artillery fire.
Under rainy and generally unfavorable
weather conditions, the French pushed
forward all along the line, aided by
audacious aviatOrs who flew over the
German positions at an altitude of
about $50 feet, using their machine
guns and penetrated the German line
at one point to a depth Of two and
one-fifth miles.
Take Many Prisoners.
Numerous important positions fell
into the hands Of General Petain's
men and, in addition, more than 1900
Germans, an enormous amount of war
material and twenty-five heavy and
field guns were captured.
The greatest depth Of the drive was
in the center of the line, where the
village of Chavignon was captured
after violent struggle, which resulted
in the enemy fleeing pell-mell. Some
of the best troops in the army Of the
German crown prince were engaged in
endeavoring to hold back the on
slaught, but their efforts were unavail-
Ing, under the enthusiasm of the
French to win positions which would
place them more advantageously for
an advance later toward Laon.
5ritons Holding Gains.
In Flanders both the British and
French troops are holding all the gains
made In Mondays drive northeast of
Ypres, except at one place on the
southern fringe of Houthoist forest,
where the Germans, in furious coun-
ter-attack, forced slight retirement
by the British.
The latest adviees concerning the
naval activity in the gulf of Riga be-
tween the Germans and the Russians
show that although the Russians lost
the battleship Slava and a large tor
pedo-bOat destroyer, the Germans
were the heaviest losers. Two Of
their dreadnoughts. one cruiser, twelve
torpedo boats, one transport and num-
erous mine sweepers were put out Of
action by the Russian fleet. While
the exact fate Of these vessels has not
been aseertained by the Petrograd gov,
eminent, 1t is announced that at least
six Of the German destroyers were
sunk.
Further German attempts to land
forces on the Esthonia coast to the
north of Werder have been repulsed by
Russian detachments.
On the other fronts no important en-
gagements are in progress, except in
the nature of bombardments. On the
Julian front the Austro-Italian theatre,
the artillery activity again has become
intense. An Austrian attacF with in
fantry In the Cadroe region was re-
pulsed by the Italians with heavy
losses.

VICTIMS OF ANTILLES INSURED
Dependents Of Each of Men VIII Be
Given $4,000.

Neutrality-suspicious. the provisions
of the new soldiers and sailors insur-
ance law, the treasury department has
announced that although the men lost
on the Inflated Antilles, sunk by a
German submarine, had not, in the
very nature of things, applied for gov
eminent insurance, 1t would be paid
to their families under the provisions
Of the act.
AS all hands in the military and ma
val service who persisted with the lost
Antilles came within the scope of the
new war insurance law, the treasury
department announced that they au-
tomatically carried insurance to the
amount Of $4,000 each.
This sum will be paid the families
of the dead soldiers and sailors in
monthly installments of $25 each over
a period of twenty years. It is in ad-
dition to cOmpensations which will be
paid to widows, children and depend
ent mothers of the men. A widow, for
example, will be paid $25 insurance
and SO compensation, total of 500.
While the $50 insurance is fixed
maximum, in cases where no applica-
ton for insurance was made, the adj
ditional compensation varies from $40
for motherless dependent child to a
maximum of $75 for all dependents.
