elimination of BOmbardment.

The offensive launched this morning
by Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, the British
commander, in conjunction with Gen.
Petain, the commander of the French
forces, against the German lines on
the Belgian front, is the elimination
of the tremendous heavy gun bom-
bardment which has been in progress
almost continuously in this area for
q week.
The intensity of the artillery drum
fire with which the Entente Allies had
been demolishing the Teuton trenches
preparatory to today's assault had
been described by the German general
staff as the greatest in the history of
warfare, even surprising the terrific
fire maintained at the beginning of
the Somme and Arras offensives.
Military observers have attributed
two objectives for the Entente offer
sive, the capture of the Belgian North
sea soast which has been used by the
Germans as bases for their subma-
rines and to assist the hard pressed
Russians on the Galician front. The
battle front north Of the river Lys
stretches from Warneton on the
Franco-Belgian border to the North
sea coast, the distance between those
points being about thirty miles. In
cluded in this battle area is the
famous Wytschate- Messines front
where the British on June 7, after
exploding 100000 pounds of high
explosives under the German lines at
tackled on a ninc-milc front and cap
tured the high ridge, several towns,
forty seven heavy guns and more
than 1000 prisoners.
London Report.
London, July 31.-British troops in
conjunction with the French forces on
their left attacked the German posi-
tions along wide front north of the
river Lys at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
The Allied troops, according to a
British official statement, have cap
tured their first detectives on the
Whole front and are reported to be
making satisfactory progress at all
points.
A considerable number of prisoners
already have been captured by the
French and British.

MEN MAY BE CALLED
Crowder Makes it Plain That Only the
Physically Disabled Will Be Ex-
empted.

Washington, July 29.-Every man
within the conscription age who can
pass the conscription examination
faces military service in the imme-
diate future. AS the result of the
presidents and General Crowder's ap-
peals for strictness in exemptions, and
in view of the known plans for the
steady maintenance of an armed force
of nearly 100000 men in France,
this idea began to develop strongly
here tonight.
Use Them All.
Many of the men chosen may never
see trench under fire. 1t is hoped
and believed tina tthe first full-weight
blow of the United States will be
enough. But the war chiefs are not
going in as if it were a one-blow fight.
Two statements Of the last few days
make this clear.
Secretary Baker says that the gov
ernment will not be limited to the
first 100000 and the second 100000
Other men will be called to keep full
the ranks Of those who go first.
General Crowder tells exemption
boards that reasons Of sentiment or
affection or personal loss must not
govern them in granting exemptions.
These two statements together
mean that the men who are further
down the conscription lists than the
number assigned as the quota of their
districts will have but temporary
stay.
Married Men, Too.
1t means, too, that if man is mar
ried and his wife and children have
any other reasonable means of sup
port he will have to go. This will un-
doubtedly reach numberless cases
where the .mainstay of the family is
the husbands earning power, but
where the wife has a small property
or an allowance Of her own from
other sources.
General Crowder's statement of last
night seems to give little hope of ex-
emption for the man who is the main
stay of a private business. Even
though his departure for military
service might wreck the business, un-
less it can be shown that such a
wreck. would make other individuals
dependent on the state for support
exemption is not to be granted. In
Idispensability in business and indus
try refers only to the indispensability
as regards the war needs of the gov
ernment.
Mean Business.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-08-01
Mean Business.

Washington begins to realize after
reading the two statements of last
night that the words "mobilizing the
whole nation" were more than a mere
fgurative phrase.

EUFAULA vs.. Triton
AT DAWSON This WEEK
BABE" WILDER WILL PITCH
IN THE OPENING GAME FOR
THE ALABAMIANS.

Dawson baseball fans will be given
a real treat this week, when the Eu-
faula and Triton teams, of the Dixie
league, will meet here at Baldwin
park in series of regular games
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the
28th. 29th and 30th.
Both of these teams have made
good records in the first half of the
league, the Eufaula club finishing
second, yet they necessarily had weak
spots which have been strengthened
with better players. A number of
the players are known to Dawson
people, who have seen them work on
both professional and semi-profes-
sional teams through this section,
The predominating feature of the
entire series will be in the first game
when "Babe" Wilder will pitch fol
the Alabama team. He has the rec.
ord of an even thousand, as he has
won every game this season, besides
the fact that he is one of the best
liked baseball twirlers who ever play.
ed on a Dawson team.
These teams are coming to Daw,
son through the efforts of several
fans who are influenced entirely by
their love of the national sport, and
the Eufaula manager will handle the
games as if they were at home.
