Enemy Advance Is Made at an Enor-
nous Cost.
French Headquarters in France
The enemy succeeded, at an immense
cost, in pushing his advance from a
mile to three miles deeper into the al
lied front At Marqueglise, the south
ernmost point of the salient, he was
about seven miles from his starting
point.
The fighting was almost unprece-
dented in fury. The Germans, continu.
ing to attack in compact masses, were
moved down by the allied gun fire.
Wave succeeded wave in the attack
and when position Is finally taken
by the enemy 1t is frequently prompt
ly retaken by the French In these
counter-attacks the French invariably
find the ground Uttered with German
dead, the bodies often lying In heaps.
The Germans, It is estimated, had
used between 20 and 80 divisions. As
the enemy's advance is slow, he ia
able to bring up his light artillery,
while the heavier guns are still being
fired from their old positions
The artillery strength of the two
armies is almost equal, although the
gun fire of the French is more effec
tive because the French are more ia
miliar with the ground. The fielte
ness of the fighting and the inflexible
determination with which the enemy
accepts his shocking losses, indicate
that he is determined to continue until
complete victory or complete exhaus
ton ensues in the decisive battle Of

With the French Army in France
The Germans, 1t is generally believed,
are now held at every point of their
recent advance. They seem unable to
execute more than minor attacks,
which are invariably repulsed, where
as the counter-attacks which the allies
are making are proving notably sue
cessful. nearly always bringing about
an improvement in positions.

WaSnlngt0n.-Whl nile million young
Americans just turned q were regis

for world freedom, orders went out
from the office of Provost Marshal
General Crowder to the governors Of
all states except Arizona for the mo-

toned from 20 states and brings the
total number of selective service men

they are in camp the nations army

The registration last week appar-
emily was attended by the perfect or.

The men who appeared before the
$500 local boards over the country
have become of age since the first reg
istration day, June 5, 1917. Military
authorities estimate that from their
number there will be had 100000 men
fit for active duty.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned, many of them may soon
be called to the colors, as requisition
upon governors probably will exhaust
the first class in some states.

tion proceedings against one Frederick Wursterbaugh, q naturalized German,
 who was guilty of disloyal statements and utterances, on the ground that the
 defendants final papers had been se-
 cured by fraud, consisting of a secret
 reservation of allegiance to Germany
 at the time he made formal oath of
 unqualified allegiance to the United
 states. The evidence from which
 such a reservation might be inferred
 consisted of disoyal statements made
 since the American war declaration.
 The Federal magistrate of the district
 decided in favor of the government
 and ordered tho cancellation of the
 defendants citizenship papers Wur-
 stcrbaugh appealed and the appeal in
 now pending. Two additional cases
 of the same character are reported
 from Western Washington, the Dis trict Court ordering the cancellation of
 the naturalization certificates in one of the cases. The communication of the Attorney General ayers that the doctrine enunciated by the court in
 the Wursterbaugh case is in accord with the view of the law entertained by the Department and the decision is considered of great and immediate inn portance because of the far reaching effect it should have in discouraging disloyalty on tho part of naturalized citizens. In concluding, the Depart ment instructs all United States at torneys to institute similar proceed ings against all naturalized aliens who are guilty of disloyalty in any form, whether they are Germans or not. Tn accordance with the instruc- tions. District Attorney AGundy will proceed against all such offenders and will welcome any information brought to his attention which pro- vides ground for prosecution of nat ] uralized aliens for disloyal utterances or practices since the American war declaration Persons possessing in . of such offenses will be con. forming to the duties of citizenship by placing it at the disposal of the gov nrnmcnt in order that proceedings may ! be instituted to punish any person | who may be guilty of disloyalty.
