Through The Operation Of
The New Man Power Bill
Approved August 81.

All enlistments and enrollments in
the navy have now been stopped and

These men will be obtained by in
dividual induction.
! If Glass la man desires to enter
the navy believes himself fitted for
one of these special trade schools, he
can apply to the Navy District Mo
bilization Office, or one of the sub
stations of such office, and if found
] qualified, physically and otherwise,
and if needed to fill quota, a request
will be made by the Navy Mobilization
officer on the Provost Marshal Gen
eral of the Army for the applicants
individual induction into the navy as
! an apprentice seaman.
After his induction into the navy
by his local board, he will be sent to
the Navy District Mobilization Office
and from there to Naval Training
Station, where his rating may be
changed in accordance with his ability
and special qualifications.
A Glass la man who does not pos
sess some of these special qualifca
tions may be able to enter the navy
through draft, provided his order
number happens to be among those
which are called by his local board
to fill a navy call for certain mum
Der of men for general service, but

vost Marshal Generals office, in the
same manner as for other men.
If he is in adeferred class on the
ground of being in a necessary in
dustry, occupation, or employment,
including agriculture, the local board
will delay accepting his application
for induction for three full days and
Immediately notify the nearest U. S.
employmenta service agent that the
registrant has applied for individual
induction. After the expiration of
this period of three full days, unless
the registrant has withdrawn his re-
quest for individual induction, the
local board will examine him phys
ically and, if he is found qualified,
shall accept his application for in
duction and induct him into the naval
service as apprentice seaman.
Men of all classes for the messman
branch Of the navy will be indicted
in the rating of mess attendants, third
class.
Men desiring to enter any one of
the several navy officers training
schools must first be indicted as an
prentice seaman, in the manner de-
scribed above for other men, and
then, if they are found competent
and qualified for one Of these schols.
they may be assigned to one and
may eventually securea commission
in some branch of the naval service.

PRESIDENT POINCARE.

President Raymond Poincare Of
France will celebrate his 5Sth birth
day today, and will be the recipient
of congratulatory messages from all
the world which sympathizes for and
admires the courage of France. Since
the war began he has spent much
time at the front, and his presence
has always been an inspiration for
the French troops to even greater
deeds of valor. NJ. Poincare is a
scholar and author of such distinction
that his name was enrolled some nine
years ago among tn, 40 immortals of
the French Academy. 1t is a note
worthy coincidence that the chief ex-
ecutives of the worlds two greatest
republics are men of great learning
and literary ability. AS a lawyer NJ.
Poincare ranks among the greatest
of France, and he sacrificed a prac-
tice paying him $4,000 a year in or
der to become Premier\in 1912. His
salary as cabinet member was only
$4,000, but as president he receives
$240, 900 per year. Most Of this he
has been obliged to spend in main
tanning the dignity of his position, and
when his term as president expires he
will be debarred from resuming the
practice of law and will be politically
dead" if precedent prevails. NJ.
Poincare was born at Barbecue,
and as a young man he entertained
journalistic ambitions and contribut-
ed ''thrillers" to the newspapers of
his native town. He studied law and
at the age of IS was elected to the
Chamber of Deputies, and was only
80 when he entered the government
as Minister of Public instruction.

REUTER- SUMS UP
SITUATION OF
FRENCH ARMIES

London, Aug. 2O.-The situation on
the main fighting front in France is
summed up by the Reuter- CORE
spondent with the French armies as
follows:
1--WE have arrived at the stage in
this battle corresponding to that that
Germany reached at the end of March
and early in June after long, bloody
and exhausting advances on the heels
of inferior opposing numbers. We
counted firmly on the arrival of the
moment when the reserves would be
able to check the German advance and
prepare the flank attacks which have
by their success restored the initiative
to us.
1.-The enemy in turn is using that
weapon against us. His reserves are
not yet exhausted and however he
may grudge the necessity of having to
waste them in defensive battle which
in the end can only be a prelude to a
retreat, he may still possess 80 fresh
divisions as we'll as 100000 youths of
the class of 1920 Our successes must
be carefully planned and manfully
won"
