The draft regulations are very
plain and blunt in prescribing the
penalty for failure on the part OF q
man granted deferred classification
to notify his local board at once II
his status is changed;
Every registrant shall, within
five days after the happening there
Of, report to his local board any fact
which might change or affect his
classification" says Section 1l6 OF
the regulations.
Failure to report change of sta
tus as herein required or making a
false report thereof, is misdemeanor
punishable by one years imprison-
ment."
The campaign to run down these
draft slackers will be started very
soon. and II will be rigorous cam
paign. Men guilty Of evading mill
tary service by failure to report when
they should be re-classifled, need
look for no mercy.
Every patriotic registrant who
has been granted deferred classifi-
cation, but whose status has chang
ed so that he ls no longer entitled to
that classification, will report the
change Immediately to his local
board" said Captain John Z. Culli-
,n. in charge Of the execution of
the draft law in the Office Of the ad-
jutant general.
Those who have not the patriot
ism to report voluntarily will gain
nothing by It. They will be found
out and not only re-classified. but
will be subject to severe punish
men.

Of status. he should see his local
board about Il without delay"

BONAR LAW COMMENTING ON
SITUATION ENuMERATEs ALL
PHASES OF OFFENSIVE
INITIATIVE CAME FROM BERLIN
No Offensive Of Such Sixe Al tho
latest Assault Has Brought Such
Little In Return

London, June i9.--Andrew Bonar
Law. chancellor OF the exchequer. In
troduced u vote OF credit for 5oo,-
100000 pounds In the house Of COM
mons today. gave some figures re-
garding the total war credits, which,
with the present appropriation,
would amount to 7.342. 900. .000
pounds. and announced that he
would postpone until tomorrow his
statement on national expenditure.
He then proceeded to give review
OF the general situation.
"Thc latest phase OF this great
struggle" no said. "is the Austrian
offensive In Italy. II Is part OF an
intense offensive which has been car
ried on along the whole battle front.
Our enemies are right In thinking
that a great success gained on tina.
front would have far-reaching. per-
haps decisive, results on the general
battle front In France. For that rca-
son the general suspicion that the In.
itiatiye came from Berlin. rather
than from Vienna. I believe to be
Justified.
Tho offensive was launched by a
very large number OF Austrian dIvis.
ions. A good deal moro than half
their total force ON that front Is en-
gagged. All | can say today Is that
after four days OF fighting the attack
has failed. Our advices are that the
enemy has not secured In four days
the objectives which they had hoped
20 obtain the hrst day. And II also
Is true to say that no offensive on
this scale throughout the whole war
has at Its initiation secured so little
success.
There is no doubt but our own
and the French troops are giving a
good account OF themselves and the
Italians have been fighting through
out with the highest courage and the
most marked tenaclty. The Italian
higher command has no fear OF the
result. The danger Is not yet over,
but the government can express ad-
miration and gratitude to the Ital-
ians for the share they have taken
in the general struggle."
Speaking OF the western front. Mr..
Bonar Law said that British and
French headquarters knew the posi-
tions to which the German divisions
were being sent before the COM
mencement Of the offensive on March
IL. He admitted that the attack had
attained an amount OF success which
had caused the utmost anxiety.
But" he added, three months
have passed and although the bat
tie Is continuous one. we can look
back on what has happened with
some confidence.
I'm the whole campaign the Ger
mans have had before them three
great objectlves. One was Paris, an
other was the channel ports, the
third was not only the defeat, II they
could achieve 1t. Of the allied army,
but the breaking Of the communica-
tlons between the British and the
French forces. Although the allies
have had to give much ground, not
one Of the enemy's strategic objects
has been attained"
