Difficult to Get Casualties.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Replying to
request that he expedite the lists Of
American casualties in the heavy
fighting on the Soissons-Rheims
salient, Gen. Pershing today cabled
Secretary Baker that the task of
assem- bling the names of the men was
an extremely difficult one because
of the fact that American troops are
brigaded with French and British
units.
Secretary Baker said no estimate
of casualties was contained in Gen.
Pershing's cablegram. There was
nothing to indicate today when the
increased casualty lists resulting
from the present severe fighting
would begin to come in.
Widely Separated.
81 have received cablegram from
Gen. Pershing in regard to reports
of casualties" said Mr.. Baker. "He
points out that our troops are still
widely separated, serving in many
places, and that our wounded are
taken to French and British hospit-
ais as we'll as our own, causing great
difficulty and complication in secur-
ing accurate information.
''In addition to this, the troops
are separated from their records
while in the area of conflict and
must depend upon very inadequate
and temporary telegraph lines which
are subject to frequent interruption
and must, for the most part, be de-
voted entirely to the urgent business
of the battle itself.
"Gen. Pershing assures me that he
is making every effort to collect cas-
uAty lists, have them confirmed and
verified and that they will be trans
mitted promptly"

Lieut.. Osce Coleman Wounded.

Newberry, Aug. 3.-Mr. A. Pope
Coleman, of Chappells,, this county,
has received a cablegram from his
son, Lieut.. William Osce Coleman,
in France, stating that he had been
wounded in action. No particulars
were given in the message, but the
young lieutenant assured his par
ents that he was getting along fine. /
Lieut.. Coleman, it will be recalled,
was several months ago decorated
for bravery in action, receiving the
Croix du Guerre. He is graduate
of the Citadel and has many friends
throughout the State who wish for
him a speedy recovery, from the
wounds received.

LEON GREEN HELD.
Former South Carolinian in Serious
Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 3.-United
States Commissioner Richardson to-
day fixed at $4,000 each bail bonds
for Edward L. Travis, member of the
corporation commission of North
Carolina and one of the most promi-
nent lawyers of that State; Selim
Barnett Joseph, of Chicago, and
Leon Myer Green, now of New York,
formerly a colonel on the staff of
Cole L. Blease, former governor of
South Carolina.
The three men were taken into
custody late yesterday afternoon on
warrants sworn out before Commis-
sioner Richardson by special agent
Of the department of justice on a
charge of conspiring to evade the
draft law.
Green is within the draft age and
the warrant charges that the three
men conspired to obtain for him a
deferred classification. In further
ance of the alleged conspiracy the
warrant charges that Green entered
into a contract to be employed by
the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Com
pany and to devote all his time to
such employment, whereas, in fact,
he was to be free from obligation to
devote his time thereto
It is also charged in the warrant
that Green made oath before his
draft board in New York that he
was engaged in an industrial en-
terprise necessary to the mainte-
nance of the military establishment.
Back of the arrest is said to be an
allegation of the conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States of vast sums
of money in connection with con-
tracts, which the three men are said
to have declared they were able to
negotiate with the shipping board.
According to reports reaching the
department of justice, Travis, Jo-
seph and Green had been negotiating
with the dry dock company for sever
al months to procure contracts to-
taling s4O,O00,000 under which the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company, of
New Jersey, was to build ships for
the United States shipping board.
1t is reported that Travis, who was
a former law partner of Representa-
tive Kitchin before the latter came
to congress, expected to receive a
fee of 100000. Joseph, it is as
serted, looked for $3.50 ton each
ship built under the proposed con-
tract, and Green was to be employed
by the shipbuilding concern.
Richard F. Mcdonald, Chicago
banker, connected with the Perth
Amboy Company, is said to have dis
covered the details of the alleged
agreement and to have advised the
federal authorities, it is stated.
Bond is being arranged so that the
three prisoners may be released.
They are confined in three different
city jails here, the idea being to pre-
vent them from having further in
tercourse with each other or other
wise discussing their plans, which
are considered as being exceedingly
disadvantageous to the governments
best interests in the present crisis.

EIGHTEEN TO -FORTY=FIYE
WILL BE PROPOSED TO CON-
GRESS AS DRAFT AGES.
View to Prompt Consideration When
House and Senate Take Up
Regular Business Later.

Washington, Aug 3.-Draft ages
Of from 1S to As years will be rec
ommended in congress in the bill
embodying the war departments
new man power programme which
will be introduced in both houses Of
congress Monday and expedited by
committees with a view to prompt
consideration when regular sessions
Of the senate and house are resumed
later on this month.
After formally announcing the
new draft ages today, Secretary Ba-
ker said all the possible combina-
tions of age limits were carefully
studied and it was found that in Or
der to get the men into class l for
the programme, 1S to As was neces-
sary. He said, however, that the
bill as recommended to congress will
contain a provision authorizing the
president to call men out of class 1
by classes according to ages, so that
If it is found possible the men be-
tween .18 and 10 will be called out
later than the older men who are
found eligible to class 1.
The war department programme,
the war secretary said,> is purely a
military one and can not be called
a CONSUMPTION of labor, although it
naturally will have the effect Of put
ting at useful labor or in the army
all able bodied men within the age
limits as they finally will be fixed by
congress. In recommending this
extension of the age limits, Mr.. Ba-
ker continued, the department had it
in mind simply to get for the army
the number of men which it believ-
ed necessary to defeat Germany. The
secretary was not prepared to say
how many that would be nor to give
any estimate as to the proportion of
males between the ages of 1S to As
inclusive which would be found eli
gible. In making up the list and
classes the same rule will be fol-
lowed that has governed In the first
draft, with the same exceptions from
the first call of married men with
dependents and those engaged in
essential industries.
Mr.. Baker gave it as his opinion
that so far about 100000 have
been drafted from the existing list.
There has been considerable oppo-
sition in congress to lowering the
minimum age, many members being
reluctant to draft youths before, they
attain their majority and come into
full citizenship. Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the senate mill
tary committee, said today that he
expected opposition on that score,
but expressed the opinion that there
would be no unusual delay in pass
ing the bill.
Some members of congress believe
that the man power bill will be ta-
ken up Immediately after congress
resumes sessions and disposed Of be-

When children read book to them

impression upon their minds as when
they hear them read aloud. When
some one reads a book to them they
learn how to pronounce those words
which puzzled them; and if they do
not know the meaning, it is easy to
ask.
