There were no aerial bombing or

GIVERNOR LISTER
ASKS TO BE RELIEVED
He Declines to Name Successor to
Captain Ziegaus, as Requested.

Olympia.-Governor Lister has sent
word to General E. H. Crowder, ma
tional draft officer at Washington, his
request to be relieved from official
responsibility for execution of the draft
act in this state Governors were as
signed this duty by proclamation of
President Wilson when the federal
draft act became effective. Whether
it can be resigned or not will probably
be demonstrated in the present in
stance.
In his request for release Governor
Lister also declined to nominate sue
cessor to Captain |. w. ziegaus, exec
utive officer of state draft work. He
asks the provost marshal general to
hake his appointment direct and thus
assume complete control of selective
service operation in this state. General
Crowder recently directed that Capt.
Ziegaus report to Washington for high
er duties as soon as arrangements
could be made to relieve him at Olym-
pia. AS a result of the governors re-
fusal to make a successor and his de-
sire to be relieved of any further re-
sponsibility in draft matters it is be-
lieved that Ziegaus will be continued
at Olympia Headquarters.

GERMANS FORMING
NEW BATTLE LINES
FOURTH OF HUN STRENGTH ON
WEST FONT NOW HELD IN
MARROW AREA.
OUR ARTILLERY IS DAMAGING
Germans May Stop Big Retreat to
Fight-Reasons Not Ciear-Sit-
uation Decidedly Unfavorable
for the Enemy.

Washington, ID. C.-Harassed on the
flanks by the allied infantry and with
advanced positions directly north of
the Marine swept by allied artillery,
the German army in the Scissors
Rheims salient has retreated to a new
line of resistance, where another at
tempt will be made to meet the at
tack of the French, American and
British and Italian troops.
Big Guns Blast Way
With 80 German divisions, or one
fourth of the enemy's fighting strength
on the western front, massed in the
narrow battle area, the guns have been
called upon to blast way through for
the infantry.
Reports indicate the enemy has de-
cided to stop his withdrawal and fight
it out.
1t is thought that the internal sit
uation in Germany and Austria has
forced the general staff to accept bat
tie where military wisdom would have
dictated further withdrawal
General March, in his talk with
newspaper correspondents drew at
tention to the inner pocket of the sa-
lient, where the recent British ad-
vance southwest of Rheims threatens
new pincer movement. Enemy troops
south of this advance between the
British and the Marine, are in jeopardy
and the French have already made
progress in hammering at the southern
flank of this inner pocket by their ad-
vance just below Chatillon.
New American Army Corps.
No additional American forces have
been thrown into the AisneMarne bat
tie as yet, he says, although he am
nounced the formation of two addition
al American army corps. He explains
the assignment for the 30 divisions
which compose the five corps now or
gained to their respective higher
units, did not mean the corps had been
actually drawn together Many of the
divisions are still with French or Brit
ish forces for final training.
The July movement of troops to
France probably reached a total OF
100000, making a new record. General
March pointed out that tht German
lines are today II miles farther away
from Paris than they were when the
assault was launched.
The genera lalso brought out the
fact that the line surrounding the sa
lient has been shortened by 10 miles
through American and allied advances
being now GA miles long.
Allies Advance Five Miles.
The German line is again north o.
the Ourcq river and Fere-enTardenois
which has been entered by French
troops, is at the mercy of the adde's
The tightening of the flanks holds {
promise that the retreat will continue
Line Pushed Forward.
The line along the greater part Of
the bottom of the Soissons-Rheim'
salient has been pushed forward il
some places as much as five miles
The Germans are bringing into play
their artillery in force to check the
plunges of the Franco-American troops
The Americans have played brillian
part in the advance, which included
the occupation of Sergy on the nortl
bank of the river, and a number o
small villages.

Serve On Other War Work.

Governor Lister accepts the recog-
milton accorded in proposed advance
ment of an officer from this state as
an acknowledgment of credit to board
members and all officials connected
with draft work, and gives as his own

surance that the selective service sys-

the governor can be Relieved of any
further responsibility and will be en-
abled to give more time to other war
work in which he can render greater
assistance than he can in passing up
on draft policies as applied in this
state.

authorities taking efficient men out

PAST FOUR YEARS
OF WARFAR ENDED
AMERiCA'S FULL PARTICIPATION
IN CONFLICT OUTSTANDING
FEATURE OF YEAR.
RECORD MADE SENDING MEN
Entente Relying on United States for
Men and Resources to Stem Tide
War Was Begun July 20, 1914,
BY Austria.

Events big with the fate of nations
have marked the fourth year of the
war which comes to a close this week
1t has been ~ months of alternate
hope and concern for the powers of
the entente alliance.
1t was on July 2S, 1914, that Aus
tria declared war on Serbia, begin
ming the great struggle.
During the last NJ months there
have been occurrences that in some
aspects have been of even greater i'm
port in their influence upon the world
than those of the preceding period.
Russia's collapse, the Italian defeat
last autumn, the stupendous drives of
the Germans against the allied armies
and the wonderful defensive opera
lions that have again and again check
ed the enemy when success for him
seemed near at hand have held the
world breathless.
American Aid Feature.
But, transcending the Significance of
any event in the actual theaters of
the war, Americas full participation
in the conflict, involving the transpor-
tation overseas of more than a million
men to engage in it, must remain for
all time the great outstanding feature
of the fourth year of the struggle. IL
is upon America that the entente is
relying for the men and resources to
turn the tide.
A year ago the number of American
troops going to Europe had not begun
to assume large proportions.
On July 1,1918, there were 1854
American marines in France, bringing
the total number of American troops
in that country and Italy up to 1,O19,-
lis.
Americans Hold Sectors.
During recent fighting in France the
work of the American soldiers has
compared favorably with that of other
fighting men in the world. They have
held sectors here and there along the
front. They are in Alsace and north
ward in the Lorraine sector. The fa-
nous st. Mihiel sector is held by the
Americans, who are posted on the line
along the heights of the Mouse. East
of Rheims they took part in the fight
ing during the last phase of the Ger-
man offensive, while in the Chateau
Thierry sector they held their line in
a vital region against the utmost fury
of the Teutonic onslaught. North of
Chateau Thierry Americans helped to
stop the drive of the Germans in the
early days of June, and in the Somme
sector, at Cantigny and Grivesnes, they
have given proof of their soldierly
qualities. In the last 10 days they
have helped materially in driving the
Germans back in the Marine salient.
The allies have been called upon to
face two great offensives during the
last year. The first of these came last
October, in Italy, and the second, in
France, began on March 81. The Ger
man drives in France, while separated
by periods of from few days to sew
eral weeks, have been considerer as
different phases of the same offens
i've. The abortive Austrian attack on
Italy in June also is looked upon as
merely anOthe rattack against the
western front and not as a distinc
military operation.
