days official statement says the en-
envy was repulsed completely"
The statement follows:
'In the course of the night the French

German Attacks Fail
Southeast of AmienS.

LONDON, May 6.-The British line
has been advanced on a considerable
front between the Somme and Ancre riv-
ers west-southwest of MOrlancout,
says the official statement from Field
Marshal Haigs headquarters.
The British positions in the neighbour
hood of Lacon and the Lave river, on
the southern leg of the Lys salient IN
Flanders, have been improved as the re-
suit of local fighting.
The statement reads:
"A successful minor operation was
carried out by us last night between
the Somme and Ancre rivers west and
southwest of Morlancourt Our line in
this locality has been advanced on A
considerable front in spite Of strong OPP
position from the enemy, whose losses
were heavy. Over $50 prisoners, two
machine guns and trench mortar were
captured by our troops. Our own cas-
ualties were slight.
Local fighting took place last night
to our advantage in the neighborhoo1
Of LOGON and the Lave river. Our po-.
sitions in this locality have been i'm
proved.
ION the remainder of the front the
situation is unchanged"

.2O,0OO,00O PROBABLY
BOUGHT LIBERTY BONDS
Loan Total So Far Is 400,-
100000 = S500,000l 1000
More Is Expected

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Twenty mil
lion patriotic Americans have probably
bought third Liberty Bonds.
Inflowing reports to the treasury to-
day had swollen the number of indi-
vidual subscriptions to 100000, with
large blocks of territory yet unheard
from. Officials were confident the final
mark will hover about 100000.
The loan total in dollars stood at So
400, 900, 900 and took account only of
reported subscriptions up to o'clock
Saturday afternoon. At least 100000
600 were expected to be added by the
hurricane wind-up which swept the
country Saturday afternoon and night.
Indications were that the loan had set
a new record for initial Payments, with
an approximate 8 per cent average.
With 4,5OO,O purchasers of first loan
bonds and 100000 for the second loan,
belief was today that at least 100000
Americans now own bonds of at least
one of the three issues.
The Atlanta district. which startled
the country with a last-minute squirt
carrying it from less than half it's
quota to a smashing oversubscription
during the final hours, today bid fair to
record a $50 per cent sale.

Selective Service Law
As Applied to Foreign
Countries Is Sustained

WASHINGTON, May 6.-An agree
ment on the bill extending the selec-
tive draft law to youths attaining 81
years of age since June 5, 1917, was
reached today by senate and house con-
ferees. They retained the amendment
of Representative Hull, of Iowa, pro-
viding that the additional registrants
shall be placed at the bottom of pres
ent eligible lists.
Men raised under the selective serv-
ice law can be sent anywhere in the
world to fight for the United States. the
supreme court today decided.
The action IF the court today upholds
the selectfve law il every particular.
The right of congress to conscript
men for foreign service was attacked
by Robert Cox. Kansas City draftee
sent to Camp Funston.
He asked for a writ of habeas cor
pus, directing Major General Leonard
Wood, in command of the camp. to re-
lease him from service on the ground
that there was no constitutional right
to compel him to fight in foreign lands.
This was denied by a Kansas court.

AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATION
ORDERED BY PRESIDENT
Department of Justice Will
Probe Charges of Gutzon
BorgIum, Sculptor

WASHINGTON, May ga deartment
of Justice investigation of the charges
of graft in aircraft production made by
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, was or
dered today by President Wilson.
Borglums charges OF pro-German in
fluences also will be investigated. De-
mand for a criminal investigation was
made in the senate recently.
Investigation by the department of
justice was asked of the president by
Howard Coffin, formerly chairman of
the aircraft board, who declared he re-
quested it that the reputation of limo
cent men might not be ruined by
charges that have been made.
Charges Of Inefncdency
At the same time the order for inves-
tigStion was announced President
Wilson'S correspondence with Gut
zon Borglum, the sculptor, who made
an investigation of the aircraft produc-
ton situation, was given out at the
White House. 1t disclosed that the
president last month advised Borglum
he never considered him an official in
vestigator, and practically disposed of
his services.
The aircraft situation has brought re-
peated charges of inef1ciency on the
part of those in charge of 1t, and de-
mands for an inquiry prompted President
Wilson to name an investigating COM
mission headed by Snowden Marshall.
About the same time the president au-
thorized Borglum to make an investiga-
ton.
Borglum's report never was made pub
lie formally, although enough of its con-
tents became known to show that the
sculptor had made charges against
those in control and had alleged there
was graft in production Of planes.
The senate became so stirred over the
situation that it demanded a criminal m
vestigation and in debate senators asked
that the senate military committee
renew it's inquiry with a view to learn
ing if criminal prosecutions should be
brought A majority report by the COM
mittee some weeks ago charged that gov
eminent officials had kept the public in
ignorance of the real state of affairs and
recommended a one-man aircraft control.
Subsequently President Wilson put John
D. Ryan in charge of production.

German Offensive Waits on
Austrian Drive Against Italy

NEW YORK, May 6.-(Summary Of
European Cables to the Associated
Press )-Germany has not yet taken up
the offensive in the west and probably
another effort against the allied armies
is held in allegiance to be made stimuli
taneously with the heralded Austro-
Hungarian drive against the Italians.
In preparation for further enemy at
tacks on the Flanders battlefield, the
British and French have been improving
their positions in local operations.
The allied troops in an attack between
Locre and Drancourt, have advanced
their line 500 yards on front of 1000
yards, gaining positions which strength

between Scherpenberg and Mont Rouge.
German counter attacks were repulsed
with loss. Berlin, reporting on the same
fighting, attempts to make out the at
tacks were made in large force. 1t
says they were repulsed and that the
French lost 800 prisoners.
On the southern leg of the Lys salient,
which is the one the Germans must at
tack if they wish to connect this battle
field with the one in Picardy by wiping
out the Arras salient, the Germans
have made no further attempts to push
back the British from their gains At
Hinges, earlier efforts having failed. The
artillery fire continues most intense on
both legs of the Lys salient and south
of the Somme, in Pacardy.
Further safeguarding of the southern
side of the Lys salient was effected by
the British last night through a local
