to the grand chorus, "Hail, Hail. the
Gangs All Here" -...
In '9s the boys sang, 'There'll be a
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
In 1917 the "Sammies" sing, Hail,
Hail, the Gangs All Here" There is
not very much difference in the mean
ing of the songs. There is bound to be
a hot time in the old town when the
gangs all there. No matter where
the gang is, there will be hot time.
SO the "Sammies" in France have at
least chosen a sing that is typical Of
the American fighting man. song
that carries meaning for any occa-
sion whether it's a party in camp or
d battle in the trenches.

THE SONG OF THE "SAMNTES. ,,

From an American correspondent
with Pershings troops, we learn
that the war song of the "sammies"
in France has at last been unearthed
and sung for the approval of the
camp. After a hard days work dig
ging trenches, the boys gathered
round the old camping place one
night and roared at the top of their
lungs that American classic of UNI
known origin. "Hail, Hail, the Gangs
All Here
In lieu of a song prepared for the
occasion, "Hail, Hail, the Gangs All
Here" should. as they say in vaude-
vile, "go big" The words now carry
new meaning. When the gang" is
really all there in France. the old
chorus should take on even a greater
semblance of truth. Then will the
gang" let the fighting forces of
Europe know just why the gang" is
there.
Probably some American composer
could have written better tune for
the visiting ''Sammies" in Europe.
Probe bly, some lyric writer could have
sembled set of words more ref1n-
ing in their nature. The outstanding
fact is, however, that neither a COM
poser of music or writer of song
lyrics come forward with the desired
melody or words. So the "Sammies"
were forced to do as other "Sammies"
had done long ago. They chose their
own song.
John Philip Sousa, the march king,
is capable of producing a stirring
strain of martial music. Victor Her
bert might have come to the fore
with one of his lifting melodies suit
ed for the marching "Sammies'' in
France There are any number OF
men who might take their pens and
dash off few lines worthy to be set
to music. Yet the boys bad TO- resort

AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS
CLEAN OUT DRIFTERS
Small Boats Put Up PluCky Bat
tie Despite Disadvantages

Ottawa, July 27.-An attack by
three Austrian cruisers on a line of
British drifters employed in guarding
anti -submarine nets in the straits Of
olrahto on May Is is described in a
London despatch to Reuters Ottawa
@'eoilcy. The account of the ENGAGE
1nent follows:
Ihe drifters in eight divisions of
aooot SIX boats each were forced along
me running roughly east and west.
h1eeh carried a crew of ten men and
ono Small gun. In one case the enc
my appears to have acted with chival-
~ 'o"ard the little craft signalling to
'iAo crew TO abandon their vessels. This
VI user approached to within 100 yards
VI me GoWanlea and ordered her crew
TO take to the boats.
SKIPPER j. Watts, slipping the nets,
rephed by ordering full speed ahead,
ana calling on the crew for three
cneers commanded them to fight to
nhlsh They manned the gun and
llfeo with good effect until a shot
from the cruiser disabled the gun.
Ihey hung on under heavy fire, en-
oeaVorlng to repair the damage, until
the cruiser passed out of range.
Inc Gowanlea then proceeded to
the assistance of the badly damaged
Leondla, which had four mon killed
and three wounded, but whose skip
per, though three times wounded, re-
NAMED at his post throughout the
actloh. Meanwhile the remaining
cruisers had opened a devastating fire
on the center of the line
The crew of the Admirable only
abandoned their vessel after her boiler
exploded and her whole house had
oeerF shot away. Even then A. Cor
don, second hand, scrambled back
on board with the evident intention of
firing the gun single handed, but was
killed.
1.-THE Girl Rose, Cora T. Haven and
Selby were not abandoned by their
crews until the boats foundered. The
crew of the sinking Taits on taking to
the boats discovered one of their num-
Der to be missing. They returned to
the vessel through a heavy fire to
search for their shipmate. Second
Hand Joseph Hendry of the Serena
remained on board until the ship sank
rather than be taken prisoner He
was picked up an hour later. The
crews of the Garrigill, Bonespoir
Christmas Day and British Crown re-
fused to leave their vessels even when
outranged and under broadside fire
from the enemy, and brought them
through the action.
The enemy displayed an enxiety to
destroy the wireless telegraph of the
drifter in each group. The wireless
operator of the Leondia was found
dead in his chair at the conclusion
of the action, having collapsed over
the wireless log in which he was writ
ing at the moment Of his death.
The British admiralty on May 10
announced that four drifters had been
sunk In a raid by Austrian cruisers in
the Adriatic sea and that the British
cruiser Dartmouth was torpedoed in
subsequent engagement but reached
port safely.

RELEASE. FROM DRAFT.

There is now much confusion over
ne exemption clause In the Select1ve
raft law. Many are at loss to
how where the government officials
raw the line between exemption"
nd "discharge'' as related to those
len who will be released from obli-
etion to serve under the colors.
Resortine to Noah Webster we find
lat the word exempt" means Free,
released, from some liability to
hich others are subject; excepted
ON the operation or burden of some
w; released; free; clear: privileged:
person exempt from military serv-
q or jury duty"
| The difference between being ex-
lnpted and discharged, so far as the
dictionary definitions go. is a very
light one. The discharge of men
nder the selectiye draft law is
.erely a dismissal from the obliga-
on to serve. Yet under the draft
.gulations there is vast difference
etweep those who are eligible for
,emption, and those who are eligible

guards patrolling a large area of the
city, quiet was restored here today
after another outbreak of race riot
ing which exacted a toll of two lives
and caused injury to scores Of persons,
both white and colored. The local
authorities were at first unable to
cope with the situation when rioting
was resumed last night, but with the
assistance Of the National Guardsmen,
state police and 500 special deputies,
the streets were cleared and order was
restored shortly after midnight.
The negro section was roped off and
surrounded with a patrol and guards
were stationed in positions to pre-
vent further outbreaks in the other
districts of the city. All saloons and
amusement places were ordered

The Government intends to enforce
the exemption laws with the greatest
strictness. This was shown at the
last meeting of the President and his
official family after. which orders
were issued by the War Department
to curtail exemption on the ground
that applicants are Federal employees.
These orders state that claims for
exemption on the ground that the
parties are Federal employees will be
entered only for those employees
whose places cannot be filled by 9TH
ers without substantial loss to the
adequate operation Of the office.
Exemptions under the draft law
will be absolute, conditional, or tenn
oorary. Discharges will be labeled
With the same terms. Those exempt
I'd will be let 60 under the regulations
If the law; those discharged will be
reed of their obligation under the
authority of the President, whose
power may extend to persons and
classes of persons not mentioned in
he xemption clause. Even the ap-
lication forms for exemption and |
discharge are not alike. When sum-
noned to appear before the boards |
must ask for Form 10; those who
want to be discharged must ask for
Form 121.' Other forms will be pro-
vided for thoso who wish to claim
exem ption for registered persons other
han themselves.
Within three days after the proper
aff1davits have been filed, claims for
exemption and discharge will be de-
sided. Applicants are warned to
watch the bulletin boards in the local !
exemption offices and the lists which |
will be published in the newspapers
about five days after individual proofs |
have been submitted In this way
only will applicants know whether
they have been excused or held for
service. The fine shading between
the definitions of exemption" and
''discharge' must also be taken into
consideration. Much time will be
saved by knowing how to apply for
release from obligation.
