Then on came the war. The Mar ouis de Poignae left his villa, his busi- ness, his educational work and his playgrounds and entered the French army as d private. He served side by side with his own workmen in all the fights which took place between the French and the Germans when the lat ter invaded France. He fought from the Belgian border back to the Marne and then when the French armies struck back he followed, fighting with his orkmen regiment and finally had the satisfaction of re-entering his home town with victorious army. Since then Reims has been in possession of the French, but the Germans with their heavy guns have been almost at it's doors.
 The French military authorities made Marquis de Polignac a corporal and it is said he was much prouder of the title than he was of that of mar uuis. for the suspicion is strong that this descendant of one of the oldest families of France is very much of a democrat.

Unprecedented increase in the

All Of the local boards begin today
the classification OF the QUESTIONABLE

division Of the men, as indicated by
the answers, into FIVE classes.
The first selection OF men from the

service in France. The bricklayers
in any boards jurisdiction will be as

OF skilled employees needed in France
will be made by the same method.
Registrants' are informed by Gen.
Donovan that their personal appear
ance is not required or desired by the
local boards in the consideration OF
their QUESTIONABLE. The boards will
sit as judges and IL they deem the
answers defective or insufficient, regis
trants may be summoned to correct
their errors. Otherwise they have COM
pleted their work when the blank is
filed.
The general belief is that the work
of the local boards throughout the

before February 1 and the date fol

writing a character letter in favor
OF Capt. Hans Tauscher. German
munitions agent, then on trial at

quilted by the jury.

was no reason why a man should

of authorizing the president to make

fers upon him merely the power to
