German Claims of Strategical
Retreat Ridiculous, General
Maurice Says.

LONDON, May 10.-The recent par
tal success of the Germans at Fres-
noy on the Arras front in France has
not upset the British plans of opera
ton. nor has it caused surprise, said
Gen. +. b. Maurice, chief director of
military operations at the war office,
in his weekly talk with the Associated
Press. As matter of fact, the gem
eral added, the British staff has been
surprised that the Germans have not
succeeded before in making gains in
view of the tremendous counter
attacks which they have been hurting
against the British front. The di-
rector continued:
Even Defenders Surprised.
"The bodies of Teutons continually
have been sent against the British over
open ground without any apparent re-
gard for casualties, but the British
have held their line when 1t might
have been expected they would give
way and have inflicted tremendous
losses on their opponents
"The Germans have hurled great
reserves into the Arras conflict, en-
ploying people from Belgium, Poland
and other conquered territory to re-
lease more Germans for military serv-
Ice. The British have forced the Ger
mans to use up twice as many reserves
as were employed in the Somme Of

BAN FAV0RITISM
BY DRAFT BOARDS
Officials Having Charge of
Registration to Be Punished
If Not Fair to All.

WASHINGTON May 10.-To dis
pose of any fear that county and city
registration boards will exercise favor
itism in enrolling soldiers under the
selectivo draft act, Provost Marshal
General Crowder issued statement
tonight declaring such practices would
be virtually impossible because of the
explicit terms in which the act is
drawn. He warned registration off
cials that favoritism easily could be
detected and would be punished with
heavy penalties.
Every precaution," said the state
ment, will be taken to make 1t cer-
tain that the registration will be con-
Quoted with exact justice.
Every Man Must Register.
"The law is specific and allows no
latitude to the boards, either in the
matter of registration or in the LATER
matter Of exemption from service. In
fact, the law is self-executing, Every
man within the age limits fixed by
the selective service act must register
and the penalty of the law for evasion
Of registration will fall, not only on
the man who fails to appear, but on
VINO may be shown to be in colusion
with the person who attempts to es-
cape his duty.
No Exemption Power.
Further than this, the registration
boards Will never act as exemption
boards. except In certain specific cases
such as where young man who has
registered shall claim to be employed
in a federal, state or local office and
thereby does come within the eXemp-
tion clause of the statute. In n case
like this the facts must be entered
officially and attested.
so far as the other reasons for ex-
emptions under the law are concerned
exemptions for men engaged In pur-
suits i'm which their work is more val
liable at home than in the service, the
authority will lie with n board Of high

creation Of an emergency food organ

President Wilson went over the food

Plans for an emergency agency to
handle food problems have not been
completed in detail but it is believed
probable the president will name one
man to be directly responsible for
carrying out emergency provisions Of
the legislation that is sought. This
man would administer regulatory fea-

for such an agency by Mr. Hoover,

PLAN FOR JEWISH REG1-
MENT COLLAPSES.

After Lord Derby had received a
deputation of representative Jews,
introduced by Lord Swaythling, pro-
testing against the formation of
Jewish regiment, another deputa-
ton of sympathizers with the idea
also waited on him at the War Or
fee. The deputation was told that
no assurance can be given that such
a regiment will be sent to the Pales-
tinian front, nor could the War Of
flee assure them that this regiment
will be provided with kosher food
and that allowance will be made
therein for the observance of the
Sabbath and of the Jewish festivals.
Lord Derby also said that the mem
bers of the regiment will not be al
lowed to wear a special Jewish
badge, unless they have distin-
guished themselves in one way or
another at the front.
The English Jewish press is full
of protests against the formation OF
a special Jewish regiment. The Zion
lists also issued a protest against
this, declaring that this might great
ly hurt the Jews in Turkey and i'm
pede the progress of the plans now
maturing for the establishment of
a Jewish state in Palestine after the
war. The main objection on the
part of English Jewish leaders is on
the ground that the formation of
military ghetto" as they express it,
is highly undesirable and may prove
of great injury in the future.

TO THE JEWISH MEN OF THE AMERICAN
ARMY AND NAVY
Message by Rabbi B L. Levnthal, of Philadelphia

FeIlOW Jews anu lllClI1dAo: Ia
ancient days when our fathers went
to war against the enemies of Israel
and of Israel's God, the priest, so we
are told in the text, was to appear
before the people and speak unto
them words of encouragement, OF
hope and of cheer. He was to give
them words of advice how to win
Gods favor and blessing.
And so l too, as Kohen-a priest
in Israel approach you, young men
of Israel, who have been chosen to
fight Americas cause, before your
departure to distant lands, and
speak to you the same words that
the priest spoke to Israel of old.
Now that you have been drafted
and enrolled as members of the
great American Army of Liberty, l
repeat the words of the priest of
old: "Hear, O Israeli! Hear, we
Jewish sons, what is expected of
YOU at this time! Hear, 0 Israel,
descendants of the brave Macca-
bees, sons of heroic people! For
the first time in our exile we have
the privilege to shed our blood for a
land that is truly ours, for a land
that was the first to grant us equal
rights, equal privileges, for a land
where we have at all times enjoyed
liberty, freedom and equal oppor-
tunity with our fellowmen. Hear,
O Israel! We must show to the
world that the Jew knows how to
appreciate these gifts; we must at
test that the Jew knows how to fight
and to def need be-to uphold
the holy banner of our land, that he
is willing, aye, even glad, to offer
his life upon the altar of duty.
aye draw nigh this day unto bat
tie against your enemies"
priest continued. Against your enc
mics, you today, are to wage bat
tie. Many were the times in our
history when Israel had to take up
arms in wars that were waged by
the countries in which he dwelt.
But it was not against his enemies.
They, against whom he fought, did
him no wrong, and he enjoyed no
rights, no privileges in the lands for
which he fought; he derived no
benefits from the people, for whom
he gave his life. Today we may
truly say: We draw nigh this day
unto battle against your enemies
They are our enemies, because they
are the enemies of Our land, of the
land that knows no distinctions of

If the question at issue in this
great conflict is the right of small
nations and peoples to live their
own life-then again the enemy is
our enemy, for what people Graves
this right and demands this priv
lege more than the Jewish people!
If the issue is the destruction of mil

that might makes right, then again
the enemy is our enemy, for was it
not Israel that first taught: mot by

Spirit, said the Lord of Hosts ?"
eye draw nigh unto battle
against your enemies!' 1t was in
the land of our enemy that the des-
picable theory of anti-Semitism was
first reduced to science and given
the sanction of the government. 1t
was from our enemy's. realm that
the doctrine went forth that the
Jew must be repressed, must be de-
MED equal rights, that he must be
treated as an outcast, as social
pariah.
One word more, in conclusion.
The priest commences his address
to warning Israel with the signih-
cant words: "Sh'ma Yisroel." Hear,
O Israeli and our rabbis were
quick to discern that this phrase
was used for a definite purpose
that it was to remind Israel of his
peoples historic and age-long bat
tlecry: "Sh'ma Yisroel Adonoy Flo
henu, Adonoy Echod," Hear, O
Israel, the Lord Our God, the Lord
is One!
"Why," ask the Sages, "does the
priest use the term 'Ih'ma Yisroel?'

the Sh'ma in the morning and in
the evening, you will not be given
over to your enemy" (Sifri).
The Jewish Law is lenient with
the soldier who goes to war. He
may eat the food that is given to
him, he may even desecrate the
Sabbath if ordered by his superiors
to do so. Nevertheless, Judaism de-
mands of him to remember his God,
his Torah and his people. If he
must disregard the numerous duties
that the faithful Jew observes, he
may, nevertheless, recite the his

morning and when he returns at

Such yields are good enouge for any

worthy of note this year, when

that such yields are only possible

We fear the farmers of the coun-
try are making a serious mistake
by trying to hold too much of their
crop for threshing and not cutting
enough for hay. A feed shol tage
will mean disposing of much of the
stock that should be kept on the
farm and another year when grain
prices are possibly much lower this
livestock will have to be bought
back at greatly increased figures.
Wheat at SO may look very attract
i've but it should not be allowed to
push cattle and hogs from the
farm. The country needs the meat
fully as much as the wheat and
livestock prices for the next yeal
will justify feeding even So wheat
into them to preserve at least
enough for breeding stock.-Cotton
