MEN LIABLE TO
DRAFT ADVISED
Given Detailed Instructions
By Provost Marshal
Crowder.

Washington, July H. Another step
in building up the selective conscrip-
ton army was taken today, with the
distribution of circular by Provost
Marshal General Crowder notifying
the registered men to hold themselves
in readiness for appearance before
the boards which will conduct exami-
nations and consider exemptions.
How or when the government will
select the men to be examined Is not
detailed in the circular, but II is re.
vealed that registration cards in each
county or city jurisdiction are to be
numbered with red ink and that ''as
soon as the drawing is complete lists
showing the order in which these red
ink numbers are drawn will be pub
lished in the press and will be posted
at the Office If each local bosrd." 1t
already has been announced that the
selection will take place in Washing
ton, and the general presumption has
been that some device similar to a
jury wheel will be employed.
SEVEN DAYS TO FILE CLAIMS.
Exemptions are to be determined
by the local board, the circular shows,
only for the previously announced
specified causes, such as responsible
ty for the support of relatives, and
not for agricultural or industrial rea.
SONS. Seven days after designations
are posted will be allowed for filing
claims. Then there will be an add.
tional allowance of ten days for filing
proofs, and the board must decide
within three days after the proof is
filed.
When the case of any registrant has
been disposed of, so far as the local
board is concerned, the names of
those not exempted or discharged will
be posted. Claims for exemption for
agricultural or industrial work must
be made within five days after such
posting and must go direct to the high
er board sitting for the judicial dis
trict. Appeals from the rulings of To-
cal boards mustbe made to the higher
board within ten days.
The circular does not cover the
summoning of the men for actual
service, pointing out that selection
and acceptance does not mean an i'm
mediate summons. Even the time of
the drawing is not specified, but issu-
ance of the circular is taken to mean
that the work of selection may be in
progress in few days.
September l has been tentatively
considered as the date for assembling
the first half million men in canton
ments for training.

FRENCH STAND ATTACKS

Russia's armies have captured Hal
icz and have broken the Austro-Ger-
man line in the Halicz-Stanislau sec
tor, one of the most important on the
eastern front. The Russian advance
continues.
The Austro-German forces already
have withdrawn beyond the Lomni-
ca river, about ten miles west Of Jezu-
pol, which was occupied Sunday by
General Korniloff. The Russians
have taken four more villages and in
creased their capture of prisoners
more than one thousand. Seven more
field guns and other war material also
fell into their hands.
West of Stanislau, toward Kalusz
and Dolina, the Russians penetrated
the Teutonic lines to depth of nearly
seven miles and between Stanislau
and Halicz they widened their wedge.
In their retirement, evidently made
hastily from the large amount of guns
and military stores captured by the
Russians, the Austro- Germans failed
to make stand at the two rivers, the
Lukovitza and the Luvkin.
The evacuation of Halicz makes
retreat from the Brzezany-Zlochoff-
Brody line by the Austro Germans
almost a necessity,
\ Meanwhile the Russian artillery is
hammering the enemy lines south of
Brzezany and north of the Pripert
marshes near Dzinsk and Smorgon,
the fighting activity has increased.
On the western front along the Che
min Des Danes the French have re-
pulsed more attacks by the troops of
the German crown prince. The latest
German efforts were not made in as
great force as those of last week. The
French also threw back a strong at.
tack near Hurtebise in Champagne.
A vigorous artillery duel is in pro-
gress between the British and Ger
mans In flanders. The British artil-
lery fire has been intense along the
front held by the Belgian army. In
Flanders the British have advanced
their lines east of Costtaverne,
