staff had created throughout Germany
It was no ordinary military opera
ton that Hindenburg launched on
March Fl. Ludendorff had planned it
with consummate skill. The general
staff had spent six months in preparing
for it, in training troops in the new
Won Tuter tactics and in accumulating
stores of ammunition and supplies.
When the German high command
struck the British lines on the morning
of the first day of spring it struck to
win the war and to win it before fall.
This was the pledge of the general
staff given to the country. As result
of the assurances of Ludendorff and
Hindenburg that a military victory
could be gained this year with q loss
that would not exceed 100000, the
socialists in the Reichsteg suspended
their sniping tactics against the gov
eminent and agreed.to the program of
the high command. 1t was no wild
venture. Although it is inconceivable
that complete military decision could
have been obtained; the Germans all
hut accomplished the immediate result
of their offensive, which was to drive
wedge between the British back to
the channel, capture Paris and then
take advantage of the depressed state
of the public mind in Great Britain
and France to renew the peace pro-
posals.
That the general staff has finally
failed in this undertaking is due to two
things. One is the unified command
under Gen. Foch, and the other is the
miracle accomplished by the British
and American governments in trans
porting million American troops to
France since the German offensive be-
gan. This is something for which mel
Their the German general staff nor the
German public was prepared and the
effect upon the German morale Of such
victory as that won in the Marine
salient cannot be overestimated.
Just as popular confidence was high

nsCENES OF DESPAIR

The most significant war news that
came yesterday was contained in two
sentences from the Berliner Tageblatt
one of the principal newspapers OF
Germany:
1.-THE Marine defeat has produced un-
speakable scenes of despair in Berlin.
Such outbreaks of utter discourage
ment and downheartedness never be-
fore were witnessed"
The Tageblatt has briefly and vivid
" described the most important result
of Foch's counter-offensive and the
victory that has been won over the
Germans.
Ludendorff is following the conven-
tional methods Of beaten commander
in telling the German people that I'VE
left abandoned ground to the enemy
according to. our regular plan," and
that @gain of ground" and Marne" are
only catchwords without Importance
for the issue Of the war" Whatever
explanations the general staff may
nut out, the average German knows
well enough that the Friedenstrun
has collapsed, that the German armies
have been defeated and that no hope
remains for the promised military de-
cision this summer.
By the very nature Of things, such
defeat as the Germans have sustained
was bound to produce the "unspeaka
Bile scenes of despair" that the Tage
blatt records. That is the inevitable
reaction from the condition of com
plete confidence which the genera

PROVISION MADE
FOR REGISTERING
men FOR ARMY

While the amendment to the selec-
tive military service act making the
draft age IS to 45 years has not yet
been enacted into a law the war de-
partment and the council of national
defense arealready making preliminary
arrangements to put the amended law
irto effect without the slightest delay.
It will be very heavy undertaking
but as the already tested machinery
of the council of national defense will
be ready as soon as the new law be-
comes effective there should be quick
response to this the latest call to the
colors.
Maj. Rutledge Smith Of the state
council of defense, in anticipation of
the early enactment of the new pro-
visions of the selective service act has
notified all county exemption boards
in the state of the plan adopted by
General Crowder for this enrolment
of about 100000 to 100000 men
early in September.
Maj. Smith, in his notice to county
boards has this to say about the COM
ing registration.
''It is confidently anticipated that
legislation extending the present draft
ages will early be enacted by congress.
At this time it cannot be stated with
exactness what ages will be subject to
draft, but it is safe to assume that a
very large number of men will be re-
CURED to register and that the day of
registration will be early in September
The machinery for registration must
be perfected and ready to be put into
immediate operation when the pres
ident's proclamation can be published.
"The acknowledgement or draft ex-
ecutive in each state, acting under the
direction Of the governor, will be the
central administrative authority Of
the registration system within the
state. The local boards will have inn
mediate direction and supervision OF
the registration within their respec-
tive Jurisdictions. The actual regstra-
ton will be made in the customary
voting precincts in the jurisdiction Of
each local board.

state of Tennessee will give this reg
istration to the nation with little or no
expense, as was done in the two pre-
vious registration, namely June 1917,
and June, 1918, but when compensation
is claimed by a registrar. four dollars
($4) may be paid for his services. Vol
unteer registrars who offer their serv-
ices free of charge may be appointed
in such numbers as may be used in any
precinct.
Where local boards know of their
own knowledge Of local conditions that
the services OF an interpreter will be

are available, arrangements should be
made for their use, together with such
equipment as is usually supplied for
use in registering voters. Where the
customary voting places are in private
buildings, proprietors should be re-
uuested to afford assistance to local
authorities by permitting the use Of
such places for purposes of registra-
tion.
