high as eighty per cent OF persons
called. before. local boards are filing
claims for discharge on the ground of
relatives. Such q percen-
tage Of claims when viewed in con-
nection with available statistics indi-
Is being taken of the provisions of
the law and regulations which were
intended to reduce to a minimum the
misery at home normally attendant
upon var. There is a moral certainty,
in the extravaganza Of this percentage
that hundreds of u~nfounded claims
are included in these totals. This
state Of affairs greatly increases the
burden of local boards for. if 80 high
emption,~ only the incorporating .ac-
ton Of local boards can, prevent a new
regulation on the subject Of depend
ency which shall reduce discharges
for dependency to "a far more. restrict
ed class and to. very necessitous and
clearly defined circumstances. In
the absence Of a stern repression by
local boards of unmeritorius claims
this result is inevitable since any such
percentage Of exemptions as reports
of claims indicate would nullify the
law and prevent the raising of an
army. 1t, Is thus apparent that the
filing of these improper claims will
react directly. and injuriously on per-
IONS whom the present regulations
were designed to protect and that vel
fare of persons who have fled, bona
fide claims under. the present gener-
Gus clause Of regulations, is seriously
imperiled by persons who have filed
claims without merit, and that only
protection Of persons whose cases are
within the meaning Of the present
rules, lies in the power Of local boards
to. refuse exemption in every doubtful
cause. 1t is true that cases Of dis
charge on the ground Of dependency
are appealed to the district board, but
this clause is only inserted to ecure
uniformity Of action. District boards
are to examine these cases to discov-
err departures from the law. regula-
tons, and rulings; and they will not
and cannot open every case on its
merits, it is in the local boards alone,
therefore, that the solution of the diff
f1culty and the protection of deserv-
ing claimants lie.

Mush in Drive to

General Maude's Troops
Continue Advance in
Mesopotamia

London, May THE Turkish often

Of Mush, Constantinople announces.
Mush is the principal city Of the
Vilayet Of Bitlis, and has a population
Of $1,000, about half of whom are
Christian Armenians. 1t constituted
the southeastern base OF the Russians
in Armenia last year, when they swept
over the whole region.
The Turkish drive seems TO aim a.
clearing the way for a retirement OF
the army in Mesopotamis. which is IN
danger Of being cut OFF entirely.
There has been no intimation from
Petrograd that the Turkish pressure
was sufficient to cause a general with
drawal. Petrograd to-day merely says:
Southwest OF Gumishkhane the Turks
launched several attacks, which were
repealed Turkish attacks northwest OF
Ognott were also beaten back
On the Black Sea coast a Russian

ship and q steam tug and silenced

Maude's Forces Rout
Turks; 359 Are Taken
Ottomans Forced to Retreat
from Strong Positions to
JebeI Hamrin Hills

London, May 1.-THE Thirteenth
Turkish Army Corps in Mesopotamia
has been badly defeated by General
Maude's forces and has been forced to
retreat from its intrenched positions
or the Shstt-el-Adhem into the Jebel
Ramrin hills. In Mondays battle the
Ottoman units lost $50 men, including
twenty-one officers, and additional pris-
oners are being brought in by Maude's
cavalry. which took up the pursuit.
The Shatt-el-Aohem is tributary OF
the Ticris, flowing sonthwestward into
the large stream. For several days the
Turks had been fortifylng themselves
or both banks about twenty-five mlIes
southwest of Kifh. According TO Cen
cral Maude's cabled report, they we're
taken completely by surprise.
The British at dawn dashed across
territory which had been mined by the
enemy and swept through fortlhed
village. This they were unable 10 hold
under the Turkish counter thrust. But
the British soon reorganlzed their at
tack and stormed the village again. BY
noon the Turks, covered by strong rear
guards, had begun general retreat,
which they were obliged to keep up
until Tuesday, harried by Maude's cav
airy, until they reached their hill ref
uge.
Among the British prisoners were a
regimental and two battalion command
ers. A Hotchkiss gun and a machine
gun were taken, together with much
material. Though but a part OF the
battlefield has been cleared, le2 Turks
have been buried

Slav Drive Makes
Separate Peace
Appear Remote
Galician Advance, AL
though a Failure, Shows
Army Is Reorganized

London, May 2. A sharp offensive
action by the Russians on the Ruma-
MAN front is reported both by Berlin
and Vienna.
Observers here believe that the Rus
sian munition depots are filing up, and
that the army has been sufficiently re
organized 10 make the possibility OF q
separate peace decidedly more remote
There have been open hints in the
Teutonic official reports recently that
the German High Command intended 10
initiate no offensive on the East front,
but would merely meet any drive which
the Russians might start.
The lighting occurred on the border
mountains Of Moldavia. A number OF
Russian battalions, after a concentrated
bombardment Of the Teutonic positions
on the heights, north Of the OituZ Val
ley, attacked the hostile trenches. but
apparently were beaten back.
The official wireless cOmmunique
from Petrograd makes no mention OF
this engagement. but reports violen,
cannonade of the Russian positions
near Rogation, southeast Of Mechishuy
by guns of heavy calibre. In this con
nection the Berlin bulletin says: ain
several sectors Of the front of Prince
Leopold (Galician 'front.' the artillery
fire OF the Russians was more active
and ours increased correspondingly."

Machines During the
Month
III Aeros April's Toll

London. May ? On both the British
and French fronts the two great often
siyes apparently have run their natural
course for the time being. and the
battle has degenerated into duel OF
big guns, the clash and counter clash
OF small thrusting parties and the
never ccasing struggle Of each side TO
master the all.
In April the loss Of airplanes on
the West front was more than twice
that recorded IN any other month OF
the war. AS a compilation &C the Off
cial bulletins shows. 4 total of al
machines were shot down. or these
369 we're German. POI French or Bel
gian and l47 British. In September
Of last year. during the eliminating
struggle of the Battle Of the Somme,
322 machines were destroyed
The British success in the air yes
terday was pronounced. The night OFF,
cial statement says sixteen German
machines were destroyed or driven
down by British armeu. Four British
machines are missing.
French Bomb Treves
A French squadron flew over Treves
last night, bombing the town in re-
priSal for the German expedition
against Chalons and Epernay on the
night of April $3.50. Paris declares
that all the projectiles reached their
detectives and a violent fire broke out
in the centre of the town.
Yesterday and the day before French
fiers brought down three German
planes and seriously damaged ten
others. Berlin reports that the AIlies
lost fourteen planes yesterday.
Land fighting was largely conhned 10
the artillery, though the Germans at
tackled with some success on the Alsne
front and the French in the Moronvil-
liors region Of the Champagne. Paris
admits that German TRUSTS across the
Chemin des Danes were only partial
" repulsed." Sharp grenade lighting
won ground for the French N the wood
west o. Mont Cornillet There were
also successful French raids near
Eparees.
Discussing the French attack in the
Champagne Monday night, the Berlin
bulletin declares that, though the
French employed several fresh dlyl-
SiOns, they Idiied 10 ledcH thVi VI"
iectives at any point and lost over 400
prisoners. Fifty more prisoners are
reported TO have been taken with a
French position in the neighborhood OF
Sillery
Artillery Fire Violent
All the official communications com
ment on the growing violence OF the
artillery fire, which the German state
ment says reached maximum inten-
atty" on the Aisne front, where strong
French Reconnaissance were repuised
at dawn yesterday.
The Germans also report advances
nv he British this morning west OF
Lens, and near Monchy and Fontaine.
The British reports are silent on
these operations, but mention the re-
pulse Of German raiding parties near
Faudui,sart and ArlcuX.
Unofficial reports state that linden
burg has already thrown in thirty
;hr,e Of his total forty-three reserve
divisions i'm the effort TO stem the
