Smashlng against the German lines

Solssons' the French have made i'm
portant gains from the German
crown Prince. The sudden blow also
brought the French more than $500
prisoners and twenty-five heavy and
field guns.
General Petain completed an eff
fective step toward Laon. the south-
ern extremity of the Hindenburg
line and an important railroad CEN
ter which lies ten miles northeas ST
OF ChaVignon, where the French ad-
vance attained its greatest depth
two-and-one-fifth miles. The heights
dominating Pargny-Filain, at the eX-
treme right, were seized and French
guns now can batter the Germans on
the hills on the opposite side of the
Allette river from Chavignon. More
important still, they can pour an en-

TO the German Crown Prince the
blow may prove the most severe he
has suffered since Nerdun. He has

SELF OWNERSHIP. - Without

no liberty. No one is free so long
as he in any respect is owned, con-

ship Of one person by another, of one
group or class by another, is slavery,
and, therefore, wrong and destrUc-
tive Of happiness and all the things
that make for beauty, goodness and
Well-being.
True liberty, happiness and devel-
Opment Of all the good, useful and
desirable qualities within the indi-
vidUal are possible only when the in
dividUal owns himself and is the
cOmmandeT-in-Chief of his own per-
son and all it's functions. To be
owned, governed and commanded by
some one else destroys intellect, mi
tiative, originality, and makes
beasts out of men. The more a per-
son is governed and controlled by
others, the more dependent and mis-
cradle he becomes, until at last he
descends to the level of the dOmesti-
Gated animals.
Every human being worthy of the
name should demand the right to
own himself and should resist at any
cost and by all means the attempts
of others to own, govern, control and
enslaVe him. Only in this way can
true liberty be established and main

Self-Ownership necessarily includes

THE PUBLIC FORUM
LONG AND DANIELS.-The grass
should spring early this year on the
grave of John D. Long, sec'y of the
navy under Pres. Mckinley. He was
the man who laid the foundation for
the present splendidly efficient fleet
Under him the drink traffic was pro-
hibited from preying upon the en-
listed men of the navy.
He has a worthy successor in JO-
sephUs Daniels, the man who during
four years of abuse secured the au-
thOrizatiOn Of more ships, enlisted
more men and saved more money
than any other naval secretary And
while he was doing it he increased re-
enlistments, decreased the number of
deseTtiOns, decreased the number of
men under penalty; for the first time
began to establish adequate reserves
Of ammunition, mines and tOrpedOes;
secured the establishment of an eff
icient staff and made a record on the

Than one authorized ship.
For the lack of battle cruisers and
scout cruisers, for an insufficient
number Of destrOyers, we, the people,
may kick ourselves; for a fleet which,
man for man and ship for ship, is not
surpassed the world over, we should
thank Daniels, the man who dared to
call officers to the standard of absti-
nence and full efficiency.
Then began,a systematized propa-
ganda of the entire liquor interest
and its subsidized press to discredit
Daniels as an efficient cabinet officer
and to smoke him out of his position,
out of politics and out of public es-
TEEN. There has hardly been such
another IOng-continued effort to dis
credit one man in the annals of our
country.

OFFICIAL RULING
ABOUT EXEMPTIONS
FOR MARRIED men

Question--Can person married
since July 20 base claim for dis
charge on that ground?
Answer-Marriag is not OF itself a
valid ground for making claim of dis
charge.
A man whose wife is mainly depend
ent on his daily labor for support may
claim exemption on that ground. But
dependency is matter of fact The
rule does not ask, rs the husband, as
a matter Of law, liable to support the
wife, 1t asks, rs the wife. as mat
ter OF fact, mainly dependent on the
Dolly labor Of her husband for sup
port? Only the exemption boards
can determine this fact Where de-
tendency is claimed and the circum-
stances show marriage hastily con-
summated since July 20 by man
whose number is high on the available
list the actual fact of dependency must
be closely scrutinized.
Moreover, by section Of the act of
May Is, any person who
evades or aids another to evade the
requirements OF this act is guilty of a
,nisdemeanor; and local boards are
authorized to warn persons who claim
discharge on the ground of marriages
contracted since the date of the act,
that both parties are liable to prose
cution under this provision If, in fact,
the marriage was contracted solely
with the intent to evade the perfor-
nance of military duty.
Persons who have declared their in
tention to become citizens.
Where an alien has declared his in
tention to become citizen more than
two years ago, and has in the mean
time never applied for final papers,
such an alien is declarant under the
selective service act and is therefore
an1enable to the draft, although 1t may
lie true that under the naturalization
law such an alien would not have been
able to take advantage Of his declara-
ton of intention for the purpose of OBJ
tanning full citizenship by applying for
final papers Immediately. The statute
applies to those who have declared
their intention, and makes no distinc-
ton as to whether the declaration of
intention is one made within two years
or not.
Firenen. policemen and students not
to be considered as engaged in indus
try
In order to claim a discharge under
the original jurisdiction Of a district
board, the claimant must show that he
is engaged in one Of the industries, in
Guiding agriculture, upon which that
jurisdiction is based. Questions have
been asked whether
(a) Firemen,
OBJ Policemen,
(c) Students in technical schools
and colleges can be considered as en-
gagged in such industries. None of
these classes can be SO considered,
and therefore there is no statutory au-
thority for claiming or granting dis
charges in the case of firemen, police
men, Or students in technical schools.

the regulations for local and district
