Britons Are Attackin 2 With an Enthusiasm
 Never Before Seen.

Paris, 'Aug., 13 (Reuters).-The newspaper correspondents at the front lay stress on the magnificent enthu- siasm with which the British are attacking and overcoming the enemy.
 They point out that the British op- posed stout resistance when the Ger mans counter attacked, and when they saw that the enemy was staggering under the showed of blows, increased the punishment without giving him time to look around.
 The British are striking as never before, the correspondents say and are wrestling from the enemy, piece by piece, the villages and fields talk en by him since March 21. Each of the British partial attacks has finish ed with victory for them
 The Germans will see many more such victories, the correspondents declare, when the British have thrown themselves into a real offensive with constantly accumulated reserves.

"THE UNBELIEVER"
(By The Graphic.O

The democratising influence of the trenches and the power of war to bring man nearer to his Maker form the theme of "The Unbeliever, which is now being shown at the Orpheo theatre.
 The producers of this picture were fortunate in securing the cooperation of the United States Marine corps, members of which form an important part of the cast, and they have con- trived to produce picture we'll up to the standard such an association demands. The selection of Marguer- ite Courtot and Raymond Mckee for the leads was also fortunate as they are ideally fitted for the parts.
 "The Unbeliever" tells the story of wealthy pampered youth, snobbish and with cynical tendency towards atheism. He enlists in the Marine corps and quickly reaches the front. The self sacrifice of his chauffeur pal opens his eyes to his own snobbish- ness. The torture of lying wounded on the battle field for hours among the dead and dying brings him nearer to his God and rids him of his unbe- lief.
 A pretty love story is woven into the plot and the marines play a very prominent part.
 "The Unbeliever" can easily be ranked as one of the great motion pictures. It teaches in powerful way the good influences of war. It de- picts the life of an American soldier as it really is at the front and it visualizes that spirit of the Marines which has won the admiration of France. The picture teens with act ion and holds the interest of the aud iene so strongly that the seven reels are no longer than an ordinary fea- ture.
 The hundreds who saw the picture yesterday will readily agree that it is one of the greatest pictures ever shown in Pine Bluff theatre.

 "1n the course of the day the enemy attacked several times, especially from the direction of Uieuseux and Beaumont Hemel. He was repulsed everywhere with heavy losses.
 "Strong attacks launched by the enemy from Albert broke down un- der our fire.
 Between Albert and the Somme the enemy attacked after the strong est artillery preparation and crossed temporarily over the Albert Bray road in an eastery direction.
 "A powerful counter attack by Hes sian troops, with portions of Prus- sian and Wuerttemburg regiments, threw the enemy back across the road into his positions of departure.

\OOuCl0ucO from page One.) Mre in the House tonight were lost in the midst of Wrangle over an amendment by Representative Mad den of Illinois prohibiting deferred classification of government en- ployes because of their employment
 Before a vote could be taken a mo- tion to adjourn was carried and the amendment with several others of a minor nature went over until tomor- TOW.
 President Opposes Deferment.
 During the course of the day Presi- dent Wilson, in conference with Senators Martin and Simmons, exerted his influence to have the amendments placing restrictions on the calling of youths of IS and 19 defeated
 The president also was understood to have informed the senators that in his opinion the "work-or-fight" amendment as reported in the bill to the Senate was unnecessary
 Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Thomas of Colorado made the principle speeches today in the Sen ate in behalf of the bill, the latter supporting his work-or-fight amend ment and declaring that it casts no reflection whatever on organized labor, but is aimed at industrial slackers
 Representative Black of Texas gave notice in the House that he would in- troduce tomorrow work-or fight amendment similar to that incorpo- rate din the Senate Military Commit tee draft of the bill.
 The House agreed to an amendment by Representative Gregg of Texas, which would make members of Con- gress and of state legislatures as we'll as state and federal executive off cers liable under the draft.
 COngressmen Subject to Draft.
 More than 100 members of Congress would be subject to the draft if the amendment were enacted into law.
 An amendment by Representative McCulloch, which also was agreed to- would require the enrolment of all N citizens of co-belligerent nations and make them subject to draft in this country except where treaties would be violated.
 The House also voted favorably on an amendment by Representative Campbell of Kansas, placing farmers in deferred classification. All votes in the House today were in the com xaittee of the whole, and it is stated that least one of them, the Mex amendment, will be the subject of a separate vote when the House techni- cally resumes formal session before the final vote.
 In disposing of minor amendments. the Senate adopted the provision au- thorizing the transfer of draft board members within their own states as desired by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
 Senator Chamberlain explained that such a provision was needed to insure proper officials in some districts where the foreign population predomi- mated and also in districts in which local draft officials have been derelict in administering the draft flaw.
