fessional baseball players, how
ever, until a specific case is pre-
sented.

gagged in essential work, ac-
cording to the regulations, but
footmen and others will have to
go.
Hotel Men Affected.
Hotel cooks, clerks and man
ayers are not included, but bar
boys, bus boys and walters will
have to seek other employment,
as well as porters, unless it can
be shown that the work is too
heavy to be performed by women.
The U. S. employment service
is desigHated to cooperate with
local and district boards in the
placing Of the large number Of
workers who will be shifted to
essential employments.
The provisions of the order
are very elastic and boards
are instructed to consider all
cases with sympathy and
common sense"

vide, says the explanation hand
ed down, that sales clerks and
other clerks employed in stores
and other mercantile establish
ments are engaged in non-produc-

partments of stores and mercan-
tile establishments. The words

Establishments includes both whole
sale and retail stores and mer-
camille establishments engaged in

Touching upon the question Of
whether the theatrical profession
includes baseball and baseball
players, the explanations simply
reiterate the original ruling:
1.-The regulations further pro-
vide that persons, including ush-
ers and other attendants engaged
and occupied in connection with
games, sports and amusements,
excepting actual performers in
legitimate concerts, operas or the
atrical performances are engaged

Iancers i'm Charge.

In a certain sector of the Piave
500 mounted lancers made spec
tacular charge, hurdling five bar
ricades and slaughtering great
numbers OF the enemy. They cap
tured 70 prisoners, three cannon
and three machine guns.
1t is now established that five
enemy divisions 100000 mem are
on the west side of the river.
A considerable number OF these
are north of San Dona di Piave,
where their temporary bridges
have been swept away by the
flooded river.
The Austrians have succeeded
in throwing three new bridges
across in the San Dona sector,
where the current is less swift, ow-
ing to the broadening of the river,
and the positions are less exposed
to Italian artillery fire.
The enemy units further north
are still in great danger of cap
ture or annihiliation thru inabil-
ity to obtain reinforcements or
replenish their ammunition and
food supplies.
This is particularly the case
just south of Sandelu, where the
Italians drove forward to the riv-
er, splitting the enemy forces.
