STAY AND LOOT in SCISSORS
Bishop of City Says Churches Are Pill.
LACED by Huns, Who Murder
Refugees.

Paris, June 1o.-The bishop of sois-
sons, who is now in Paris, described
the havoc wrought in the bishopric of
scissors during the recent offensive of
the Germans. He said 100. churches
had been RACED to the ground by the
Germans and that at least 100 others
had been pillaged and partially de-
molished. The famous cathedral of
scissors suffered severely.
The bishop added that the Germans
knew neither faith nor law; they knew
nothing but war and pillage. They
We're methodically stripping and car
rying away everything, he said.
The bishop also asserted that wom-
en-, children and old men had been bru-
tally murdered by German ayiators,
who flew over and with their machine
guns fired upon long lines of refugees
on country roads.

REVISION OF DRAFT
CroWder Draws Exemption Lines
Tighter.
Governors Notified to Make Reinves-
tisation of Classification Lists
To Fill Up Glass l.

Washington, June 10.-With the dou-
bic purpose of increasing the number
of men available for military service
and of insuring fairer administration
OF the selective service law, Marshal
General Crowder telegraphed govern
ors of all states asking immediate re-
investigation of the draft classification
lists everywhere.
Glass 1, already exhausted in some
localities by the repeated calls, con-
tains 1871 per cent of all the regis
trants, according to the national aver
age, but percentages in the $500 local
exemption board districts vary most
materially, both up and down from
the average figure.
BY Stacker marriages" and I'M
grounded claim Of right to Industrial
or agricultural exemption, General
Crowder believes, some registrants
have imposed upon the burdened local
boards to escape service, while in 9TH
er districts an application of the reg
ulations has been perhaps stricter
than is intended.
The governors and the appeal agents
are asked to investigate and upon evil
dence to ask boards to reclassify men.
Assistance Of the public through sup
plying information to the boards also
is asked.
1t was said that with the gradual
exhaustion Of class 1, unskilled farm
laborers whom the boards have been
allowed to place at the bottom of the
lists, will have to go to environments.
There will be no change in this policy
and the only relief, 1t is declared, will
come from enforcement of the work
or fight order generally.
1t is expected the Encouragement
will bring into class more than $780,
600 men.
