u. S. ARMY TO FIGHT SOON
Yankees May 90 Into Action This Win
ter-Coid Weather Will Not
Stop Drive.

Washington, Oct. "a. American
troops are ready to go into action on
the western front and news may be
expected at any moment now that they
have received their baptism Of fire.
The American regiments will parti-
cipate in the fighting throughout the
winter operations and will be heavily
REINFORCED in the spring.
These are the differences drawn from
Secretary of War Bakers weekly re-
view Of war operations on all fronts,
issued here, which discloses that the
allies will not go into winter quarters
but will continue their terrible on
slaughts on the enemy without inter-
ruption.
This means that as soon as the
American troops are deemed sufficient
ly trained they will be moved to the
firing line regardless of the season. It
Is inferred that the American troops
are ready for action.

NEW ARMY DRAFT
ORDER IS ISSUED
Registered Men Divided Into
Five Glasses.
NEXT CALL DUE IN JANUARY
Registrars Will Answer Questions
and Return the Forms to Local
Exemption Boards for
Classification.

Washington, Oct. 22.-New draft
regulations, postponing the physical
examination Of the remaining 100000
draft registrants until they are called
for military service, and assigning the
men to five classes, thus determining
the order of their call to the cOlOrS,
were announced on Saturday by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder.
1t was indicated that January will
be the date of the next call.
Under the new regulations it will be
possible for a registrant to determine
whether he will be called in the first
100000 additional men to be sum-
cOntingents.
The changed system will reduce the
labors of local boards by so per cent
by reversing the present process OF
first conducting physical examinations
and then hearing exemption claims.
Hereafter all economic questions will
be settled before the physical examina-
ton is held.
The Five Glasses.
Here is the new system in nut
shell:
Five classes of draft registrants are
established approximately as follows:
First-Men with absolutely no de-
pendents.
Second-SkiIled farm laborers or
others slightly less available for mill
tary service than the first class.
Third-Skilled laborers and men
whose work is deemed vital to war in
dustries.
Fourth-Married men with children
whose families are wholly dependent
upon them for support.
Fifth-Cripples, mental detectives,
and those specifically exempted from
military service.
Registrars will be assigned to one
of these classes.
VIII Mail Blanks.
Under the new system local boards
will send out to each enlisted man on
it's list a QUESTIONABLE or catalogue of
queries to be known as "NO. 1,OOO,"
going into minute detail as to the fam
lily life, responsibility and adaptability
Of the individual These questions
have not as yet been made public. The
individual fills in the blanks with an
swers and returns the QUESTIONABLE to
the local board, having seven days in
which to do it.
After that the local board decides in
what class to put the selected man,
notifying him Of it's verdict. The man,
if not satisfied with the decision of
the board, may appeal to the district
board, which will then review the mat
ter. The district boards verdict in
event of appeal will be final.
No date has as yet been fixed for
putting the system into effect.

U. S. DESTROYER CASSIN
WON FIGHT WITH DIVER
Warship Which Was Torpedoed Con-
tinued Battle and Forced Sub
marine to Flee.

Washington, Oct 23-It was an
nounced that the American destroyer,
which had an engagement in the war
zone with a German submarine, and
got to port under it's own steam after
being damaged, was the U. S. S. Cas-
sin.
The Cassin was tOrpedoed while Oh
patrol duty on Tuesday, October 16.
Gunners Mate Osmond Kelly Ingram
of Pratt City, Ala, was killed by be-
ing blown overheard by the explosion
and his body was never recovered.
Five others were injured, but not Sc
riOusly.
The navy department made this Of
fetal announcement:
"The destroyer recently mentioned
in dispatches made public as being in
jured by torpedo, was the y. s. S.
Cassin, commanded by Commander W.
n. Vernon; executive officer, Lieut.. J.
w. Maclaran; junior, officers, Lieut.. J.
A. Saunders, Lieut.. l.. r. Agrell, Lieut..
r. M. Parkinson and Assistant Sur
geOn D. W. Queen.
"While this vessel was on her patrol
station Il submarine was sighted on the
surface about five miles distant. The
CaSsin Immediately proceeded at full
speed toward the submarine with her
crew at their battle stations. She
searched for about thirty minutes,
when the commanding officer, Com
mander Vernon aiGhted a torpedo
about 200 yards away, headed to strike
the Cassin amidshi a.
'The officer rang for emergency full
speed ahead on both engines, put the
rudder bard over, and was just clear
of the .tOrpedO's course, when it
preached on the surface, turned
sharply toward the vessel and struck
the stern of the Cas,in. Fortunately,
only one engine was disabled, thereby
permitting the destroyer to remain un-
der way, circling in search of the sub
marine.
"After about an hour the submarine
exposed it's coming tower long enough
for the Cassin to fire four shots. Two
fell so close to the submarine that it
was forced to submerge Immediately
and was not seen again. The Cassin
continued to search until dark, when
it was taken safely into port.
'Vice Admiral Sims states that the
behavior of the officers and the en-
tire crew was admirable. He com
mends the British navy for prompt
and Efficient assistance rendered the
CaSSin.
admiral Sims gives special credit
to Commander Vernon for his vigil
ance and prompt action which prob
ably saved the Cassin from total loss
and also Lieutenants Maclaren
Saunders and Parkinson, for their in.
genuity in effecting temporary re.
pairs"

Kinubird Is ChivaIrous Fighter.

The scientists call the kingbird Ty-
rannus tyrannus, doubling up on the
tyrannical significance of the thing be-
cause this bird Of ours tyrannizes
over other birds, but it is grateful to
say that his pecking pugnacity re-
strains itself in the cases of birds
smaller than himself.
There are some good friends of the
kingbird who will tell you that the
uranus of his name is used in it's
extremely ancient significance, which
was that of ruler rather than tyrant,
but the kingbird is tyrant, neverthe-
less, as one can find out by asking
any crow Or hawk which flaps or sails
within the domain of this guardian of
the fields.

PALMER ADVISES U. $. GENERALS
 ON WAR
Veteran War Correspondents Talk Is Kept Secret, Except Ideas on Censorship For U. s. Press in War.
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Fred. erick Palmer. war correspondent who was the only accredited representative of the American press on the western front more than two years, delivered confidential talk here today at the army war college to the general stan and many officers detailed there.
 Some of the things the correspond ent told the army officers were per mitted to become public and among them was his declaration that the United States should not attempt to send any troops to France until 1t has raised an army of proper proportions. Ten thousand men. he said. would do little more than hold one mile of trenches.
 On the subject of censorship in the event the United States enters the war, Mir. Palmer counselled the ap- pointment of a civilian censor with army and navy officers for assistants, and the publication of all possible de- tails in connection with the army. h. asmuch as an army must be recruited from the people, he told the officers. the people must be recognized as part of 1t and must be given any informa- tion which would not be Of military value to an enemy.

Leading Socialists
 Pledge AuFor War

ENW YORK, Mar. 23. - Several
 eminent Socialists met here today and af.er protesting against the act ion of the party's executive commit tee in issuing a manifesto "purport- ing to express the party's position about the threatened war between the United States and Germany" passed resolutions endorsing President Will sons course and pledging their sup port to their country.
 "To refuse to resist international crime is to be unworthy of the name Socialist" the resolutions said. Tt is our present duty to the cause of internationalism to support our gov ernment in any sacrifice it requires in defense of those principles of in ternational law and order which are essential alike to socialism and civili- Zation.
 We want peace, but not at any cost, and believe that the sacrifice of integrity and of general public and private self respect is too high a price to pay for it. We abhor bloodshed, but see clearly that blood had better be shed than saved by cowardice to decay in bondage"

Morgan's Chief Says Ameri- ca's Financial Aid Will Be Greatest Boon To Allies. No Panic Possible.
(By Review Leased Wire)

CHICAGO, March 23.-Thomas w. Lamont, a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan and Company, in an ad- dress delivered tonight before invest ment bankers of the middlewest on America financially prepared. re- viewed financial conditions in this country since the outbreak of the European war and described how the financial centers of the United States had cooperated in the present cam paign of foreign loans for the purpose of maintaining and uppuilding Amer ica's export trade. He kaid in part:
 How best can America help to bring about the definite and speedy ending of the war? Governor Harding's solution was to have the federal gov ernment grant the allies a sufficient credit here to enable them to prese- cute their military operations with vigor and success. The amount of this credit might be billion dollars. It might in time far exceed that sum. In any event it should be sufficient to furnish the allies all the food and supplies they require.
 MONEY READY NOW.
 1t may take some time for Amer
 ica to assist in a military way, but
 in economic and financial meas
 ures she can render assistance
 this very moment. And that is
 just the sort Of cooperation which
 will prove of most immediate and
 effective value.
 Bankers All Loyal.
 "In any step that the federal treas ury may take it knows that it can count upon most complete support of bankers and of all our people from every part of the country. If the treasury should decide to issue gov ernment obligation tomorrow for a billion dollars, the whole sum would be ready and waiting for it even be- fore it was ready to receive it.
 No Chance of Panic.
 Fortunately in financial way, our country is in a state of complete pre- paredness. There is no sign of panic and no possibility of one. As solid and unshakable basis we have an enormous stock of sold. Those same allied nations that have in the last three years bought from America nearly $700, 100000 of our food stuffs. raw material. and manufactured goods have in the same period shipped us in gold over S1,700,000, bringing Amer ica's stocks of the precious metal up to the figure unprecedented for any country, namely, s3.150, 100000"
