EXEMPTION BOARD

The exemption board Of Crawford
county has completed it's work so far
that notices will be sent out immedi
ately to those who are to appear for
exam. nation and exemption. 1t is
understood that those who were first
selected will appear for examination
but just how many the board will
designate to appear has not been de-
termined. The number of soldiers to
FIJI the quota of Crawford county is
1873 and the probabilities are that a
cal will be made for practically
double this number in order to make
up the list 1t has been estimated in
a. general way that 5U per cent Of
those called will fail to qualify either
because Of physical defects or grounds
for redemption. II the per cent should
run larger than SO per cent then the
board will keep on calling until a
sufficient number appears to make
up the quota of the county. DR.. Wright
Of Deniosn and DR.. Jones, Of Schles-
wig, have been designated to conduct
the physical examination and they
will begin their work on Monday 1t
will probably take two or three days
to conclude the physical examination
and then if the candidate is accepted
It will be up to him to present a
ground for exemption. We imagine
the board will be able to dispense
with it's work by the latter part Of
next week and we will all know then
who will make up the list from CraW-
fora county. 1t is not probable that
any of those going into the service
at this time will be called to go to
France before spring. 1t will require
come time to drill them sufficiently
to send them abroad.

RUSSIAN REGIMENT IN A BAG
Fears Are Felt for the Eighth Army,
Which is Practically Surrounded
In Its Mad Flight

| BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE,
July 31.-The entente allied forces
which launched their offensive this
morning have advanced well beyond
the shell shattered front line German
trenches. In many places they have
rea ched the second line defenses on
twenty-mile front of attack, accord
/ ing to the early reports.
The British and French troops went
into the battle under cover of what
perhaps was the greatest barrage fire
ever seen during the war.
The entente artillery is moving for
ward and the whole situation is sat

The British again have captured La
BASKERVILLE which they recently re-

The British and French forces are
facing a large concentration of Ger

have been rushed up.
The entente allies have established
complete air superiority.
The entente military officials say
the morale of the Germans here is
not up to the old standard.
LONDON, July 31.-British troops
in conjunction with the French forces:
on their left attacked the German po-
sitions along a wide front north OF
the River Lys at $50 o'clock this
morning.
The text of the British statement
announcing the offensive in Flanders
says:
'"In conjunction with the French
troops operating on our left we at
tackled at $50 O'Clock this morning
Lys.
The allied troops have captured
their first detectives on the whole
front attacked and are reported to be
making satisfactory progress at all
points.
considerable numbers of prison

The offensive launched this morn

British commander, in conjunction
with General Petain, the commander
of the French forces, against the
German lines on the Belgian front, is

DISCHARGING BETTY
BY ISABEL FROST.

Curzon had definitely, positively
made up his mind to discharge Betty.
If discipline was to be maintained In
the office at all, that was the first step
toward it. In the first place, she never
should have been employed In such q
place as the Benzlnger Iron works. she
had walked through the outer gates
one early spring morning, the last OF
a line of applicants, and had asked the
first worker she met what the superin-
tendent's name was.
"Frank Curzon," she was told. There
fore, instead of waiting her turn, Betty
had marched valiantly up to the book
keepers desk and had asked for Mr.
Curzon quite as If she were paying a
little afternoon call. And she got the
position.
The salary was only SO week, but
there was no carfare to pay, and the
factory lay just across the railroad
tracks from the pretty suburban neigh
bprhood where she lived with her ia
ther and the four boys, all younger
than herself.
"You mustn't mind" she said that
evening, beaming on " docile home
circle at the ssnHer table. "I'm a ter

Curzon's private secretary"
"What does he look likef" demanded
David, the eldest brother.
"Well, he's rather tall, and possibly
thirty, more or less" Betty dished the
preserved cherries thoughtfully. And
very, very businessllke and short
spoken"
But" said Dave sarcastlcally, wait
till he's Bettlfied."
1t took about four weeks to Bettify
the whole office. 1t began with the
strike at the gray iron foundry across
the street. After the reserves had
been called out and the fight In the
yards was over Curzon came back,
looking rather tense and angry.
"Why didn't you keep out of range
when those fellows were firing at usT'
he demanded Of Betty.
81 wanted to see," answered Betty
haughtily. 1T was very interesting"
It was the end of the second month
that Curzon began to make up his
mind. In the first place, he was am
bilious and had put all thoughts OF
love or marriage out Of his scheme of
life. The foundry was his life. And
still it was June, and Betty wore the
most enhancing, fluffy gowns to work,
absolutely unbusinessllke.
Likewise, at the lunch hour, Betty
had a tiny electric contrivance which

Too many people are merely on

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

TAFFETA continues favorite
material for handsome afternoon
costumes. You can make this
one in a light or in a dark color
for there are fancy silks offered that
will trim both successfully. Here, silk
with Persian effect is used for the bands
and the dress itself is made of taffeta in
quiet neutral shade that is just little
bit deeper than. sand which makes an ex-
cellent foil for the Paisley effect. The
blouse may be made as 1t Is here or cut
longer to form an extension over the skirt.
When it is made in the latter way, it will
be pretty for quite different materials.
The closing is made invisibly at the left
Of the front. For the simpler blouse, you
can make with a high neck and rolling
collar that leaves slight opening at the
front. The skirt gives the very newest
