REJECTED FIVE
 TIMES AND THEN
 IS GIVEN PLACE

MILES CITY, Mont, Nov. D. After having been rejected five times by recruiting officers for en- litsment into various branches of Uncle Sam's fighting forces, Mark B. Lindsay of this city has at least earned the right to wear the United States uniform.
 After his fifth rejection he took the matter up direct with the war department at Washington, and at the same time wrote to the Cana dian military authorities. Before he received reply from either, however, his mother wrote to hfr. asking why he had not enlisted. So he tried the hospital service, and found that his physical defects did not bar him from enlistment there.

SAPPING
GERMAN
MAN POWER
lRy United Press.l

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-The allies
hope to break the western line by SLOW
and relentless sapping of Germany's
man power" Reviewing last weeks
war events. Secretary Baker today
pointed this out as the object behind
the several offensives and held It to be
more important even than the gain Of
territory.
1T is the wastage of the enemy's
forces" he said "the slow yet relent-
less sapping of his man power by con-
tinued and sudden offensive thrusts
which must eventually result in soft
ening his line in the west This is the
ultimate objective OF the series Of In
tensive offensives so successfully pur-
sued by the allies during the last six
months"
Baer held that the Teuton made his
italian offensive ITO extricate himself
from the increasingly difficult position
in which his forces found themselves
in the west.
The German high command was ap-
parently confident that to save Italy
from invasion such important conting-
ents of French and British troops would
be detached from the western front as
TO render any further allied offensive in
this theater impossible"
While aid has been given Baer said
it had not impaired the west front ma
terially. The Cambria victory he as
serted. dominated the weeks military
situation. although Italy's steady re-
sistence has been a part of "one and the
same movement"

WHAT ALLIED
CONFERENCE MEANS
BY LOWELL MALLEFr.
(Ry United Press Cahlerrar,n.

PARIS. Nov. 27.-The allies confer
ence will be called upon to decide
whether the nations fighting for de-
mocracy shall establish single mill
tary dictator or create a military oil
Earchy to fight the German military
aristocracy. Americas vote may be the
deciding factor.
Representatives Of democracy here to-
day are of single mind as to unifca-
tion of allied efforts.
The French favor one supreme gen
eralissimo as against the British idea
of a supreme war council in the role OF
an advisory committee. The British.
individualists, foresee possibilities Of
trouble at home il British armies cease
to be controlled by the home govern
ment They are not disposed to con-
cede complete transference Of author
ity. particularly since the prevailing
idea is apparent that the generalissimo
be a Frenchman.
The Italian viewpoint is not available
today.
So far the Americans have kept their
own council. refraining from expressing
themselves but doing some hard think
ing.

MANY MARRIED.
MEN MUST SERVE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-The new
draft regulations viii not apply to
men now in the cantonments. The
regulations apply only to candidates
for the second selective service army
about to be raised.
The men who have been selected
are selected" said Col. Gullion OF the
provost marshal generals office today
They are members Of the first selec
tive draft army. These new regula-
tions have nothing to do with them.
1t makes no difference IL some of them
would have escaped under tho new
regulations. These matters cannot be
forever litigated. Therefore. the new
regulations will not be applied to old
cases"
The new regulations appear to make
II almost impossible for a married man
TO serve.
Many Married Men VIII Serve.
II predict" said Col. Gullion. that
there will be a good many married
men in this second army. 1t has been
suggested that the first classification
will number 1000. 600 men. and that
che army will be mostly recruited
from Slass one Even II this were
true. there are married men in Class
one Tho married man who does not
actually support his family is subject
to draft. A married man dependent
on his wife IS among those TO be first
called on. Married men not usefully
engaged. but living on incomes &C
Guired independently or their labor,
also are In Glass One.
Many Married Men in Glass Two.
Glass Two begins TO take in mar
rled men very quickly. 1t includes
cases in which the wife or children arc
not mainly dependent on the mans
labor fQr support. because Of other
sources outside the wifes earning
power; also the man whose wife earns
nearly az much as he. by special work
she would have a prospect Of continu-
irg IL the husband left her. In other
words. the husband Of a business
woman earning a good income is IN
Class Two. and likely to be called.
only when a man has a wife or
children mainly dependent on his
labor for support does he get into
Class Four. far from conscription."
