tered the first long range gun that shelled the Paris region and which was the cornerstone of the linden burg position at the angle where the line turns to the eastward along the Chemin Des Danes is under the fire of French guns.
 Just south of the river Disc, the Germans this morning were still re- sisting at Sinceny between the river and and the lower forest of Coucy with the evident object of gaining further time to save their material further south.
 Old 1917 Front.
 The line follows practically the 1917 front.
 North of Landricourt the French are fighting from their old first line of trenches, while little to the south east they are approaching that line at the racine of Vauxaillon. The capture of Coucy-Le-Chateau by the French make the German posi- tions on the Shemin- Des-Dames pre- carious and practically untenable, ac- cording to French military officers. French cavalry this morning pass ed through the. town of Chauny, from which the enemy had fled. The troop CTS are advancing toward Tergnier, 4 1-2 miles northeast of Chauny, and have reached the region of Viery- Nou- reuil, ? 1-2 miles from Tergnier. General Debeny's army has turned the Ham, Guicard line at Dampcourt, west of Chauny.
 Retreating Rapidly. The Germans are retreating rapidly all along the front south of the Somme.
 The Germans are destroying bridges and flooding the country between Chauny and Le Fere, which is a good indication that they do not expect to remain much longer in advance of their old line which ran from La Fere to Barisis. Today their retreat contin- ued in daylight east of the Ailette river and their columns suffered heavy losses from shell fire.
 Between the Ailette and the Aisne, French troops advanced to a line from Margival to uQincy and Chivres, while to the north they occupied Cou- cy-Le-C Chateau and Coucy-L -LeVille, ap preaching their old line of 1917 around the edge of the hilly wood re- zion of St. Gobain. There they will encounter the formidable defense works the Germans prepared as part of the old Hindenburg position and which perhaps have been further strengthened since beginning their re- treat.
 Calculations based on the most ac- curate information available show that the Germans have lost 100000

 It is pointed out that the form of the questionnaire purpesely leav- es the exemption claim open to be filled by others than the registrant himself. General Crowder's staff feels that failure to present legiti- mate exemption claims for aentimeaA tai reasons will almost certainly work hardships and Mjustices.

NEWS OF FRIDAYS
 FIGHTING IN TABLOID
(By The Associated.)

The Germans continue to give ground before the allied armies over the 15O-mile battlefront from Ypres to Rheims.
 Particularly heavy defeats have been inflicted on them by the French in the old Noyon salient and by the French and Americans in the. region between 4tAe Vesle and the Alsne rivers east of Soissons. To the north Field Marshal Haig's men have pushed their lines eastward at nu- merous points sin the enemy-held territory for important gains and dai- ly are increasing the meance against the entire German line facing them.
 Have Captured Ham.
 In the old Noyon salien the French have captured the important junc- tion towns of Ham and Chauny, with their railroads and high-roads lead ing respectively into St. Quentin and LaFere.
 Across the Canal Du Nord they have penetrated at various points to a depth exceeding six miles.
 The little ofrest of Coucy, the wes- tern portion of the great wooded sector east of Laon that has barred direct advance eastward, has been completely taken and across the Al lette river General Mangin's forces have re-occupied additional points which have brought them abreast the old German defense line outflanking the German line in this region and that north of the Aisne which is now pressing backward toward the Chemin- Des- -Dabes.
 French Take Many Tcwns.
 The latest French official com munication records the fact that the French troops on the north bank of the Aisne have re-occupied all their old trenches and says also that east ward the Americans have made fur ther progress in the region of Vil lers- -En- Prayers and Revillion, which brings their front appreciably nearer the Aisne and also gives them po- siticn whlS. dominates the territory southastward toward Rheims. Much probably will depend on this dominating position, together with the pressure that the French to the east may bring in starting retrograde movement by the Germans from the Rheims sector.

GERMANS PAVING WAY TO
ATTACK HOSPITAL SHIPS
MAKING CHARGES THAT AMER
IcAN AWATORS ARE CROSS
ING ON HOSPITAL SHIPS

Washington, May 8. German
crossing to Europe as members of the
Red Cross on hospital ships were Of
iicially denied today by state depart
ment and proof of the allegation was
demanded of the German government
thro Gh Spain. The fact that the state
department took notice of the dis
patch sent out by the German wireless
was taken in official quarters as an
indication OF the seriousness with
which the department regards the ap-
parent intention of the German gov
ernment to pave the way for attack
ing American hospital ships in viola
tion Of che Geneva and Hague con-
yentions
In explanation of a German state
mcnt that an American aviator
brought down in the region of the
army of General Won Hutier carried a
pass which referred to him as a mem
ber Of the American ambulance serv-
ice for France, it was declared that
this might be true and at the same
time perfectly proper Before the
United States entered the war a num-
her of young Americans went u
France and entered the hospital and
ambulance branches of the allied ar
mics rendering splendid service for
which many of them received decora-
tions from the French and British
governments.

Under the increased army plans a
great number of new divisions may
be created. With authority now
asked for unlimited power TO create

garded as likely, however, that the
April and May drafts will be used
largely to fill up divisions at home
where the seasoned personnel from

CHANGES IN METHODIST
CHURCH LAWS DEMANDED
REMOVAL OF TIME LIMIT ON
PREACHERS ONE or MEAS
URES INTRODUCED

Atlanta, Ga, May 3.--Introduction
! of memorials and resolutions from the
district conferences calling for inn
portant changes In the laws OF cus
church featured the second days ses-
sion OF the general conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church south
here today. Several of these proposed
measures, especially those asking lai-
ty rights for women, enlarged powers
of laymen, the removal OF the time
limit on preachers and presiding OIL
ders and the creation OF Episcopal dis
tricts were taken to indicate that a
spirited fight would be made for the
further democratizatiJn OF southern
Methodism.
The memorial OF the womens mis-
, sionary council headed by Miss Belle
Il. Bennett, OF Richmond, Kentucky,
was presented by the Rev. C. o. Jones,
OF Atlanta, Ga. The paper declared
| that the hour has come when the We
/ men of the church be allowed all the
privileges enjoyed by the men in the
church.
What was considered a radical
measure by many delegates was the
memorial presented by the Texas COLI
ference asking that laymen be invited
TO sit with the presiding elders In the
bishops cabinet when making ap-
pointments OF ministers at the annual
conference.
1t is expected the memorials win
provoke lively discussion especially
those bearing on fatty rights for W.
men and that asking for enlarged au-
thority in church affairs. The nc
morials asking for the removal of the
time limit came from a large number
OF conferences including the smaller
bodies in the church.
The measure calling for better care
of superannuated ministers and the
wives and children OF deceased min
isters aroused considerable Discus
lsion.
