with the success attained.
1t was feared that the unsettled

this fear proved groundless, as more

has more than once demonstrated his
impatience over the repeated delays
in Congress which have kept the EN-.
tire food control programme in a
state of uncertainty for weeks.

Petrograd, July 10.--Gen. Korni-
lofts operations in Galacia along a
front of 20 miles have broken the
Austro- German front between Ha-
licz and the Carpathians and already
the Russian cavalry has pressed for
ward for a distance of 16 miles.
To the west Of the Dniester, as a
result of the Russian forward move
ment, Halicz has been hemmed in
from the south and southwest and
the Russians are now menacing the
Halicz bridgehead.
From July 2 to 8, inclusive, Gen.
Korniloff took $4,000 prisoners and
IS guns, of which IL were heavy
pieces.
Gen. Korniloff's cavalry and Cos
sacks are pursuing Gen. Kirbach's re-
tiring army south of Halicz and have
forced the River Lukovitza, which
parallels the River Luvka. The west
ern bank Of the Luvka dominates the
wooded eastern bank, but it is con-
sidered unlikely that the demoralized
Austrian army will be able to con-
centrate sufficient troops to prevent
Russian passage of the river and 8
continuance of the advance in tn,

WILL HEAR EXEMPTION
CLAIMS or THE MEN
DRAFTED.
CARDS REMEMBERED
Cards Of County Registrants
Now Run in Serial Form
Numbered in Red Ink.

Registration cards have been num-
bered in Lowndes county as well as
in other districts throughout the
country, and those who registered
for military duty on June 5 have
been given new numbers. The total
registration in Lowndes county was
1929, and the cards now run serially
from one to that number. Each man
who registered should promptly as
certain his new number, so that when
the draft is finally issued he will
know whether or not he is included
therein.
The local exemption board consists
of Sheriff John B. Williams, execu-
tive officer; DR.. W. C. Brewer, who
was county health officer when the
registration took place, examining Of
ficer, and Mr.. ]. r. Randle, clerk.
Mr.. Randle was selected to serve in
the place of Circuit Clerk j. T..
Stephenson, who under the provisions
Of an order sent out from Washing
ton, would have been clerk of the
board had he been able to perform
the duties of the position. Illness,
however, prevented him from serv.
ing, and Mr.. Randle was selected in
his stead.
The board has opened an office in
the apartment at the court house
which is used as a witness room when
court il in session, and all business
psrtaihing to the draft is being trans
acted there. Mr.. Randle is now en-
gagged in the work of signing the re-
numbered cards and when the task
has been completed duplicates will
be sent to the office of the war de-
partment in Washington.
According to instructions sent out
from Washington, the local board
will pass upon the applications of all
men drafted who seek exemption
from other than industrial and agri-
cultural causes Parties who seek
exemption by reason of either Of
these two causes must make applica-
ton to the district boards and the
applications must be accompanied by
affidavits setting forth clearly the
specific grounds upon which exemp-
ton is claimed.

ANOTHER WAR LOAN
TO BE OFFERED SOON
THREE BILLION DOLLAR BOND
ISSUE WILL BE OFFERED
ON SEPTEMBER is.

A new war loan of $4,000, ,000, 900
the second installment of the Liberty
Loan Of 1917, will be offered TO the
public at three and half per cent
on September l5, it was learned at
the treasury department Tuesday. AL
ready officials are laying the ground
work for floating the huge issue, the
largest ever offered in the history Of
American financiering.
This issue will dispose of the en-
tire amount of the war bonds au
thorized by Congress sd, 600, ,000,-
600. As soon as the loan is complet-
ed treasury officials and COMPRESSION
al leaders will begin work on a new
war bond program which will result
in the voting of another big credit
probably larger than the present one,
next spring, if the war has not at
that time come to an end.
Despite the fact that the $4,000
100000 installment of the Liberty
Loan has barely been closed and the
full amount of subscriptions under
its terms have not been paid in, the
treasury can see the point at which
It will be in need Of ready cash. To
meet this situation substantial offer
ings of treasury certificates of in
debtedness again will be made. The
first lots of these, sold Immediately
after the entrance of the United
States into the war, have already ma
tured and been paid, either in the
form of Liberty Bonds or in cash.
This situation, under the law, leaves
these redeemed certificates available
for reissue.
Treasury officials have begun con
ferences with bankers of the country
principally in New York, to perfect
arrangements for the floating of the
new war loan. The bankers and
business men of the country have
suggested to Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and his assistants that
they be given ample notice of what
services the government desires them
to perform in assisting in the sale OF
the war bonds. When the first in
stallment of the Liberty Loan was
offered there had been too little time
to make elaborate arrangements and
the bankers found themselves EN-.
barrassed in many cases by the dou
BILE work placed upon them.
Secretary McAdoo has asked ths
various local committees which took
charge Of the first issue to retain
their organization. This request will
be generally granted and the sum
mer will be spent in perfecting Staff
of men TO handle the new Libert:
