INTO ARMY FIRST

tionnaireS at Once.
GO TO CAMP IN OCTOBER
General Appeals to Employees to AS
sist in Presentation of Claims
for Occupational Elk
emptions.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder announced on
Tuesday that the first call to the col
orS of men who register Thursday will
include men in the nineteen and TWEEN
ty-year-old classes and in the classes
from thirty-two to thirty-siX years in
elusive. Questionnaires will go first
to reqstrants within these specified
age limits and local boards will be or
dered to classify them first in readi-
ness for calls beginning in October.
Young men in the nineteen and twen-
ty-year-0ld classes, General CrOwder
said, will be accepted for induction
into the students army training corps,
but he pointed out that the authorized
strength of this corps is only 10000
men, whereas the total number of reg
istrants below twenty will be over 81
100000
Appeals to Employers.
The general refused to discuss fur
ther the educational plans, saying they
were not within his province. He
pointed out that the total number of
fit men which he expected to be Sc
cured from the classes over thirty-tWo
was only 200, and repeated the
statement that class 1 of men now reg
istered would be almost completely
exhausted by October l.
General Crowder also issued gen
eral appeal to employers to assist in
the presentation of claims for occupa-
tional exemptions and declared that
this was the ''unexplOred field of the
new draft and that no estimate could
be made as to the number of men who
ought to be excluded from military
service in the upper age limits because
Emphasizes Industrial Phase.
Emphasizing the Importance to be
attached to exemptions on the occupa-
tional grounds, General CrOwder APP
pealed to employers and industrial
leaders generally to make special
study of their field in the light of the
draft equipments.
81 address to them the suggestion
tematcally with this responsibility"
be said in pointing out that employers
should present claims for men who
might through mistaken chivalry fail
to claim exemption for themselves. AT
the same time, he said, his suggestion
had another phase, in that careful ex-
animation Of industry might show
some exemption claims to be unneces-
sary and in this connection, he added:
1.-The needs of the military forces
are known and imperative. Any given
quantity of deferments will ultimately
have to be made up by the depletion
of some other occupation"

U. S. TROOPS DRIVE FOE
BACK WITH HEAVY LOSSES
Germans Seek to Recover Vital Laf-
faux Ridoe-Make Raid in
Vosees.

American Forces on the AiSne Front,
Sept. 12-The Germans are still at
lacking on the Mont Fouge plateau
with desperate determination. The
losses of the enemy il the last three
days must have been appalling.
The German attacks, whether direct
ed against Nauteuil, LaffauX or VauX-
allion, have been for the recovery of
the ridge line at Mont. de LaffauX. 1t
was captured by General Mangin's
troops, with whom the Americans are
fighting, before the Germans realized
of what immense Importance the ridge
line was to them or at least before
they were able to take adequate steps
to defend it.
How the German troops have been
hurried here to attempt its recovery is
evidenced by the fact that as many as
five German regiments were represent
ed among so prisoners taken yester-
day.
Two fresh attacks were launched
on either side of Nanteuil. They were
beaten back with severe losses.
All the prisoners taken in this re-
gion, although they fought remark
ably well, showed complete despon-
dency and more than one, when cap
tured. remarked: THANK God, it's all
over ~
With the American Troops in
France, Sept. 12.-At 8 80 o'clock in
the morning the Germans began a
heavy artillery action on the American
front line in the Vosges region, sending
over some 200 projcctiles from their
mine throwers and a thousand heavy
caliber shells.
At 500 o'clock the enemy opened up
a strong fire on the communication
trenches. Reports from two observa-
ton stations were that 60 Germans
were observed entering their own lines
with wounded
The raid was beaten off with casual
ties to the enemy.

as well as farther south in the region
of the st. Gobain forest, where the
Germans, at bay along the Hindenburg
line, are reacting violently with great
concentration of artillery and machine
guns.
Field Marshal Haig, however, an
nounces an advance of about a mile in
the direction of La Catalet. The Brit
ish attacked over a four-mile front
from Havrincourt wood to Epehy, and
drove forward to and occupied the de-
fensive system from which they re-
tired last March. Gouzeaucourt wood
was captured and the high ground
overlooking the village of that name.
The British report mentions strong
enemy counter-attacks at many places,
all of which were repulsed.
With the Germans practically back
in the Hindenburg line and the allies
armies worn by the rapid advance and
heavy fighting of the last week, it is
believed a pause in the offensive is
Cue. Heavy storms are sweeping the
battlefields, retarding the forward
movement of supporting artillery. The
heavy guns, it is pointed out, are in
dispenSable in an attack on so strong
position as the Hindenburg line.
st. Quentin is however. in reach of
long range guns, and the Smelling is
bound to interfere with the enemys
troop and supply movements from
that great base.
Meanwhile fresh German divisions
have made their appearance in this
region, so it may be expected that the
resistance will become sitter.
Guns Create Havoc.
Generally speaking. the British
armies are now about five miles away
I from the center of the Germans much
boosted defense system.
The British artillery, firing on the
forward enemy areas, has created great
havoc.
British forces have advanced to the
east of Roisel, about seven miles eass
of Peronne, and Roisel now is under 6
heavy fire from the German long rang,
guns

RAPID STRIDES IN SURGERY
War Has Brought Discoveries Tha,
Alleviate Pain and Heal the Most
Dangerous Wounds.

"Bipp' is one Of the new words that
will be added to the dictionary as the
direct outcome of the war. "Bipp" is
a combination Of bismuth, iodoform
and paraffin paste, and is the name
given to one Of the most important
surgical discoveries of DR.. Rutherford
Morrison, a famous operative surgeon
Of London 1t exercises strange
charm upon the treatment Of danger
GUS wounds. - -
In the early days of the war doctors
employed the older forms Of curative
surgery, which entailed long periods Of
suffering to the wounded soldier. By
the new process the destroyed tissues
and infected areas are excised, the
parts thoroughly drenched with pure
spirit, and after the application Of
thin layer OF, 'bipp'' the wound can in
many cases be sewn up Immediately
with every prospect of primary union
and no further distress to the patient.
Even wounds associated with bone in
juries or damaged joints, have been
successfully treated by this method,
and compound fractures have lost
much Of their seriousness.
One of the most marvellous cases is
recorded at London military hospital.
A piece Of shell penetrated soldiers
| chest and diaphragm, passing into the
abdominal cavity. These terrible in
juries healed without subsequent i'll
consequences, the track Of the missile
bel excised and the wound sutured
after thorough application of ''bipp."
Similar success has been attained in
cases of gas gangrene, which is de-
prived Of it's chief terror since the
germs Of this infection can no longer
thrive. --------------

Bible Saves Life.

During the progress Of most wars
stories gain currency Of how some sol
dier's life was saved because the bullet
which hit him first went through the
Bible he was carrying on his breast.
There were several such instances re-
ported in the Civil war and perhaps all
Of them were true. The first to come
from France is that of William r. Will
son, nineteen years Of age, from New
castle, Pa. He was carrying a Bible
and a trench mirror in his pocket. 4
German bullet hit them both, pene-
trating only enough to scratch his skin
and do no damage whatsoever though
it came from sharpshooter and was
well aimed. Books, especially Bibles,
are evidently very efficient breast
plates.
