SHELLS RAIN ON RHElMs.
Champagne City Target for 1862
In Course of Two Weeks.

Rheims is willing. The Dig cathe-
dral city of the Champagne district
has the appearance of a hollow shei!
which has collapsed in parts and !
rapidly subsidfng into a shapeless
mass.
Not only the Cathedral, but all the
public buildings and private dwellings,
have suffered terribly in the last half
year from the raging vengeance OF
the German gunncrs, who have turned
a rain of shells onto the stricken city
whenever their armies have been de
feated at any point of the front.
These defeats have been so frequent,
either on small on large scale, since
the allied offensive began this year
that the city has rarely passed more
than two or three days without IN
dergoing severe bombardnent.
The extent Of the, undeserved pun
ishment may be gathered from the
figures relating the number Of shells
of all calibres poured into the streets
and on the Cathedral during q single
fortnight from June Is to June IS.
The total between those two dates was
no fewer than 1862
There are only 5000 persons left
out of peace time population OF
aobut $4,000. Among them arc Il
goodly proportion of women and
children. Some of the younger wo-

The entire business section of
Harrison, covering about three
blocks, and 80 residences is a
mass of ruins as a result of
fire which started about $50
Saturday morning. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but accord
ing TO reports from those who
were on the ground at the time
the fire started it was accidental.
Citizens stated to a representa-
tive of The Record that they be-
lieved it was caused by a spark
from a switch engine which had
been running up and down past
the dry kiln, where the fire started
since three o'clock.
The fire was first discovered by
some men who were starting to
work at the mill about 6:50.
These men were about rs feet
away when they saw small
blaze and rushed to the scene.
The fire was then burning in a
pile of shavings and sawdust and
before they could reach it was
beyond control.

MANY EXEMPTIONS
ARE CLAIMED

Now that the national lottery
has decided the order of liability
of service of those registered un-
DER the selective conscription act
the all-important question seems
to be that of the probable exemp-
tions. OF the first $50 names
drawn in Benewah county the re-
gistratiOn cards show i65 claims
for exemption and it is thought
the remainder of the numbers
drawn will show about the same
proportion.
OF the exemptions claimed III
are on the grounds of dependent
relatives; i3 claim exemption on
the grounds of physical disability
and 80 are aliens. One claim is
made on the ground that the re-
gistrant does not believe in war
except in case of an invasion and
one claimant for exemption bases
his application on the ground Of
religious convictions against war
Members of the local exemp-
ton board state that the govern
ment regulations in regard to ex-
emptions will be rigidly adhered
to and all claims must be sup
lported by positive proof that con-
ditiOns are as the claim indicates
before it will receive considera-
ton. Seven days after those
drawn are called are given in
which to file a claim for exemp-
tion. After this claim is filled 10
days are given in which to file
proof in support of the claim.
The method Of proving claims is
very simple but is rather exact
1t follows:
First. Go to the local board and
consult the regulations to find out
the form number of the affidavits
that you must submit for your
particular claim.
} Second. Ask the board for the
} blank aflidavits that are necessar!
} in presenting your proof; if the
board has not the forms, ask tC
! consult the pamphlet of forms.
Third. Have the afldavits prop.
erly accomplished and return
them to the board within the tim
5 limit assigned you-i0 days from
3 the filing Of your claim.
j. The first $50 names in Benewal
2 county show four Indians drawn

- on the ground of dependent rela
tives. The first name drawn i
r this county, that of John Bona

Ottawa, July 25.-The Conscription Bill passed the house of commons yesterday by a majority of 54 It now goes to the senate, where it's speedy enactment into law is assured by the presence of substantial ma- jority supporting the government.
 The majority upon the third read ing in the commons was nine below that given when the principle of con- scription was adopted on second real ing. This was due to absence of ) number of conscriptionists.
 There was no practical change in the lineup. English speaking con- servative members voted solidly for the bill and 22 of the English speak. Ing liberal supporters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier broke away and voted for the government measure. The remainde. of Sir Wilfrid's followers voted with him against conscription, and they were joined by five French members who were elected to support the gov ernment
 The vote for conscription was al- most entirely English and the vote against was very largely French

COMBINE MAY NOT DECIDE FOR WEEKS Marin-RockWell Company Hold
 ing Up Building Plans SUES BROTHER OF FIANCEE.
Plainvi1le Still in tho Running for Big Manufacturing Plant-Belleali Settles Action and Auto Attachment Is Rclcasc<l-LaWn Club Elects.

Definite action by tho directors of the Marlin Rockwell company, re- garding the location of the man plant of the merged concerns, will not
 be taken for over . month, accordinS to the announcement made today by Hugff M Rockwell, president of the local Corporation included in the com
 binc. Many features associated with the selection of a location for the fac tory arc to be considered before the directors reach a decision, and MT.
 Rockwll declares that it will be weeks
 before they will be prepared to make
 any definite statement.
 Plans for the formal organizing of
 the new company which is, to take ever the business of the Marlin Arms. the Standard Roller Bearings com- pany and the Rockwell-Drake cor- poration are now being developed and
 the necessary articles will soon be filed with the secretary of state. It is
 understood that the increased capital
 ization will be authorized under che Connecticut laws, even should it he decided to have the factory outside the state.
 Men interested in the combine still view Plainville's chances of get tlng maln plant III q most 1dVOldOAe light. They believe the directors will eventually decide to have the major part of the manufacturing done here and that large plant will be located or the land in the eastern section of the town, the present site of the Rockwell Drake building. :. A. F. Rockwell. president of the merged companies, is in Florida on a pleasure trip and, pending his return. i:. is unlikely that any definite action will be taken. He is not expected back until next month.
 The erection Of additions to the local plant, work on which was to have been started this month, will be deferred until the directors reach q
 decision. The plans have been pre-
 pared and the local concern is ready
 at any time to have tho construction
 work started. The drawings will prob ably be revised however, to greatly increase the floor space should a vote favorable to Plainville as a To- cation for the plant be taken.
