As the capture of Vimy Ridge was planned and studied out on a small-scale model, so the Messines attack was rehearsed on an open air model covering an area equal to about four tennis courts The ridge was reproduced in miniature to the smallest detail, and for weeks before the battle the units engaged in it practiced the particular role assigned them under most realistic con ditions Reuters Dispatch.

RESPONSE IS SLOW
Young Men Subject to Draft Seem to Be Backward About Neces-
 sary Registration Stunt

Registration under the conscription act is proceeding very slowly in the three local precincts. Evidently because of the fact that the date for the closing of registration Is more than month away, many are de ferrng this necessary act. And it may be that there are those who do not yet under stand that the registration is compulsory on al within the prescribed ages-between the 21at and 31st birthdays. In this district probably there is none who is exempt from registration, as exemption applies only to members of recognized military and naval units of the United States forces.
 Major G. W. Albrccht, the registrar at Iditarod, reports that so far but four men have registered with him. c. R. Peck, regis trar at Flat reports but sixteen, and J. c. Rivers, at Discovery Otter, reports but eleven. These are as follows:

Germans Appreciate the
Value of Machine Guns
Each Infantry Regiment Provided
With Twenty-FOur.
(By Associated Press)

French Front, October 7.-Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)-
German appreciation of the value of
the machine gun in modern battles
was apparent at the very beginning
of hostilities in 1914 and the most
recent developments in their infantry
formations gives testimony of ever
extending reliance on this weapon for
the defense of the front line.
Each German infantry regiment
will be provided with no fewer than
twenty-four of these weapons, whose
manipulators are formed into a sep
arate company, and besides these each
company is to be furnished with six
light rapid fire guns, altogether max
ing formidable equipment. This is
ber provided at the beginning of the
war, when each regiment of infantry
of the active army and its reserve
possessed only six of these guns.
Besides the regimental machine
guns, special companies have been
formed with the title of "Maschineng-
observation-disclosures" They
operate separately from the battal-
ions of infantry in attacks. They
are composed of groups of six ma
chine guns each, and three of these
groups as rule work together. There
are altogether der two hundred of
these groups and their number is rap
idly increasing. They came first into
action during the battle of the Somme
and they were engaged also in the
battles round Verdun.
All the efforts of the Germans to
find an effective portable machine gun
or automatic rifle such as that pos
sessed by the French and British
troops appear to have been unsuc-
cessful, and although such weapons
have been brought into action on sew
eral occasions they have quickly dis
appeared.

time had come when the order was to
be executed"
Asked If he had told the represen-
tative of the German government that
the vessel had been seized and was
now in possession Of the United
States court, the witness replied that
this had not occurred to him. No
notice had been given to the German
embassy so far as he knew that the
ship had been seized by orders of the
court.
Captain Polack said he left for
Boston and reached his ship about 10
o'clock that night. Upon going
aboard he met his chief officer and the
chief egineer and went to the engine
room and saw the men working at
the disabling OF the engines.
1.-THE chief engineer reported that
he was working all the day. on the
engines" said the witness. II believe
he was finished by midday Of Feb
ruary IL
Asked when the handles were
knocked off the valves and the heads
off the nuts he replied:
II do not know what was done nor
how they did it. All I know is the
report of the engineer that the en-
gines were disabled. All orders were
oral. We never did anything in
writing"
Asked If the keys to certain of the
rooms were not carried off when the
crew was obliged to leave the ship,
the captain replied that certain rooms
containing the ships silver and linen
were left locked but the keys were
OF al oh in chief
stewards or chief cooks room.
Name Allowed to Remain Secret.
Attorney Edward E. Blodgett then
said that he thought the court was
entitled to know the name Of the
German embassy official who had or
dered the disabling of the Cecile even
if it must be given privately. A pri-
vate conference between the attor-
neys and the judge took place during
which Attorney Joseph La ROGUE
of New York, counsel for the North
German Lloyd, said that he did not
think counsel had a right to inter-
fere in the question which the court
must decide. Personally, he said, he
would be very reluctant to interpose
in a matter Of such great delicacy for
the witness.
Judge Morton said personally he
did not see what good purpose would
be served by the naming of the Off
cial since his official position was
known and especially as the disclosure
Of his identity might lead to harm
Polack.
Counsel for the libellants asked
was Superintendent. Moller your SUI
perior officer?"
Yes, but he did not give me any
orders"
Was he Informed as to the orders
given you?".
81 do not know"
"He knew that you were going to
damage the ship?'
Il talked with a government official
in his presence, but I do not know
whether he heard the conversation or
not. 1 am doubtful about it,"
Former assistant United States At
torney General James Beck counsel
for the National City Bank, asked
Polack if it was in April, 1915, at
the time of the sinking of the Sussex
that he was given instructions that he
was to destroy the engines of his ship
on receipt of a message.
Polack replied in the affirmative
and added that he was instructed at
that time to destroy the secret papers
of the ship, it's charts and plans and
if hosilities should follow that he was
to disable the ship, putting her out of
commission for some time
This closed the CAPTAINS Testimony
