the third battalion relieved the second

fact that the American trenches were

The troops returning from the front
included the company which bore the
brunt of the recent raid by the Ger
mans. Openings in the line showed
the number killed, wounded or cap
tured.
After they were dismissed, the Of

"They are the scrappiest soldiers in

An infant child belonging to Geo.

their burning house at the corner OF
Hope and Third streets at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon by neighbors.
Mrs. La Vigne, standing outside the
aouse shortly before 5, heard an eX-
plosion of an oil stove, and immedi-
ately the house was in flames. She
became hysterical and her screams
brought neighbors to the rescue of
the child.
The fire department made frantic
efforts to gain entrance into the
house, for the mother was still
screaming that the child was in the
flames when the fire department
reached the scene. 1t was not until
the fire was under control that the
baby was found with neighhors.
DR.. Burger worked over the mother
a half hour before she regained her
self-control.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Orders have
been sent to local draft boards
throughout the country to prepare for
the division of the nine million remain
ing registrants into five classes. 1t
is announced by General Crowder that
only the first class will be called for
military service except in the gravest
emergency. This first class will con-
sist of men without dependents who
are not engaged in pursuits vital to
the prosecution Of the war.
Registered men will hereafter be
divided in accordance with facts from
the QUESTIONABLE which registrants
will he asked to sign and return to
the boards. The order in which the
men are sent to camp will be deter
mined from this QUESTIONABLE.
The tentative draft as, previously
published does not exempt married
men as class. 1t places married mer
with dependent wives and children
far down the list of tables.
Draft boards are now assembling a
report Of their activities in connec-
ton with the first draft. As soon as
these repots are in the hands of the
