SHERIFF RECEIVES
NEW INSTRUCTIONS

Sheriff Lucius Harvey received this
morning telegram from Adjt. Gen.
Van Holt Nash, relative to the regis :
tration of those eligible citizens who
il good faith failed to register on
last. In cases where persons
failed to register through misunder-
standing, ETC., it is permissible that
they register with their respective
county boards, even though the regis
tration day has passed. In each case
where belated registration is made,
however, the citizen must give the rea-
son for failing to appear on June 9Th.
The telegram to Sheriff Harvey fol
lows:
1.-The following telegram has been
received from Provost Marshal General
Crowder:
i" Attention is invited to paragraph
40 of the regulations which contem-
plates the registration of persons wro
for any reason shall not have been res
istered on registration day. While
scrutiny should be made of each case
to determine whether punitive action is
required it is desired for the next few
days to pursue a liberal policy in this
regard in order that the registration
may be complete at the earliest posst-
Bile moment.
=" 'Non-residents may also continue
to register under the provisions Of
paragraph GA. If it later appears that
the liberality of this policy is being
abused more stringent action will be
taken. Cards received from absentees
afthe June 9Th should be filed as pre-
scribed in paragraph 40.
" Please give this the widest pub
licity and inform all registration
boards without delay. CROWDER.'
Give this your careful attention ami

popular approval that has been mani
tested toward Wenceslau Braz in the
breaking of diplomatic relations and
the probabilities of war with Germany
Newspapers print daily lists of telc-

ment. Flags of Brazil, the United
States and the allies are displayed at
patriotic meetings. Practically every
Brazilian is taking his weekly drill on
a rifle range. Mass for early success
of the allies is sung in practically every
Catholic church in the country.

SOUTHERN PEOPLE NO LONGER
"ASLEEP- REGARDING THE WA9

ATLANTA, Ca, June S.-There has
ben a lot of talk and newspaper com
ment going the rounds in the east about
waking up the South" to the Sc
riousnsss of the war. ETC., but now that
the South has come forward and de-
livered her quota of men to the gov
eminent in a proportion just as high
as any other section, and higher than
some which could be mentioned, there
will probably be no more of this soli3-
itude.
General Leonard Wood told mul,
titude of people whom he faced at
Five Points in this city on the recent
occasion of a fag-raising that THE
South didn't need any waking up,
and his prediction has been abundant
Il justified by the events of the pre-;
ont week, when not only were Southern
men of military age as prompt and
willing to respond to the nations call
as the men of any section, but the APP
proach of registration day was mark
ed by no such treason as agitators
showed in many cities of the North
where anti-registration demonstrations
were quelled by the police.
A little incident comes to light n
Atlanta, which goes to show the stuff
Southern men are made of. Not sin
gle Atlanta registrar would deign to
accept a nickel for his services, while
in Cleveland and Cincinnati the regis
traIy were collecting in full, accori-
ing to W. Tom VIM, an Albanian
ard county commissioner who was

and happened to be in those cities on

GERMAN LINE IS.
No LONGER PROOF.
AGAINST AN ATTACK

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
June S.-Since the beginning of the
present offensive ON the Western
French Germany's much vaunted "un-
breakable'' lines have been pierced
time and time again by the combined
attacks of the French artillery and in
fantry.
With the artillery concentrations
that France now has at her command,
and which are bound to increase with
every month of the war, it has been
demonstrated that the German lines
can be pierced at any time and in
any place that the French military au-
thorities may choose.
To meet this changed situation Get-
many has adopted new fiction with
which to keep UP the confidence OF the
German cubic in the strength of the
Germsn western rfont. Instead of an
nouncing now with each thrust for
ward of the French that his lines re-
main "unpierced," Hindenburg de-
olares instead that they have remained
as "unbreakable' and as "unbroken"
as ever.
The one thing that isn't explained is
that the line remains unbroken merely
because it bends, and that it bends
merely because 1t has been pierced. AS
mater of fact practically every
large French attack at the present
time pierces the German front. This
forces the regiments and divisions at
tie point where the French have gone
through, to fall back in order to keep
from being encircled from behind.
Their falling back draws with them the
other German units with which they
are in immediate contact. By a gen
eral bending backwards of the line the
Germans manage to close up the gap,
/ and are able again to announce that
| their line has remained unbroken."
AS result of the repeated piercings
and piercings that began with the
battle of the Somme last fall-prac
tically the entire German line in
France from its barbed-wire and
trench rigidity of two and half years
has taken on the form and consistency
Of an India rubber front.
A general retreating movement has
row been imposed on the Germans. II
has been imposed by repeated pierre
Iirgs of the line-piercings which the
French with their present artillery
&C ncentrations are able to keep up, If
necessary, until the entire German
line in order to keep itself 'unbrok
ell wriggles and drags back until it is
again within the borders of it's own
country.
When the Germans began their re-
treat from the Noyon saliant as re-
suit of the piercing OF their lines by
the Somme offensive, they were fore
ed to abandon positions of a strength
which it will never be possible for
them to duplicate again on the western
front.
/ Hand in hand with every step back
ward to less advantageous positions.
the strength of Germany's new elias
tic front also weakens. Each French
attack and each piercing of the lins
| imposes d loss in material and III men
that entails an inevitable weakness OF

While France is prepared If neces'

imposing a squirming retreat by the
constant piercing of the line, she has
every reason to believe that before

these piercings will become break"
