Paris, Wednesday, June 27 (De-

command of Maj. Gen. William L.
Sibert, arrived safely at a French
port.
Rear Admiral Gleaves has cabled
Secretary Daniels saying the expedi-
tion has arrived safely.
Not a man was lost during the
transfer of the American forces to
France and there was not even a
case of serious illness, said Maj. Gen.
Pershing, the American commander,
on his return to his headquarters To-
day after a quick trip to the port OF

troops has been a complete success,

is affirmed the person in question
stands finally accepted for military
service.
In passing on claims for exemp-
tions on the ground of employment
in necessary industrial and agrlcul-
tural occupations the district boards
must be convinced that the particu-
lar enterprise affording such employ
ment actually is necessary ito the
maintenance of the military estab-
lishment or national interest during
the emergency.
Must Have Evidence.
"The evidence must also estaD-
lish," the regulations say, "even II
the particular industrial enterprise or
particular agricultural enterprise Is
found necessary for one of the above
purposes, that the continuance OF
such person therein is necessary to
the maintenance thereof and that he
cannot be replaced by another person
without direct, substantial, material
loss and detriment to the adequate
and effective operation of.the particu-
lar industrial enterprise or agricul-
tural enterprise which he is engeag-
ed."
Later the President may from time
to time designate certain Industries
or classes of industries that are ne
cessary and the district boards will
be so notified. 1t will be the duty OF
each board, however, to ascertain
the available labor supply for such
industries outside the men called for
service and to take the result into
consideration in determining such
things.
"If, in the opinion of the district
board" this section of the reguA-
tions concludes, 1.-The direct, substan-

Gains Big Victory.


Prisoners exceeding 10000 and the
capture of the village of Koniuchy
and strongly fortified positions South
west of Brzezany are the first fruits
of the new offensive movement of the
Russian forces in East Galicia. North
of Koniuchy the Russians have at
tackled and fresh battles are in prog
ress.
The Russian artillery, long inactive
from lack of shells, played an I'M
portant part in the defeat of the
Austro-Germans at Koniuchy. For
two days a rain of iron was thrown
into the German positions and Berlin
says officially that they were turned
into a crater field. The Russians not
only carried three lines of German
trenches and Koniuchy, which was
strongly fortified, but also advanced
to the Koniuchy stream South of the
village. which is on the Zlota Lipa
river.
Around Brzezany the fighting was
most bitter and Berlin claims that
sixteen Russian divisions were
thrown forward. The Russians car
ried the fortified Teuton positions at
several points in the face of disap-
pearance by Austro-German and
Turkish troops.
Minister of War Kerensky person
allv led the Russian revolutionary
army. In a message to Leveloff he
says that the offensive proved to
Russia and the entire world It's Il
deity to the revolutionary cause and
it's love for liberty and country.
