Aug. 20--In the Lys sector, west OF

During the week General Foch, su-
preme commander of the allied
forces, definitely connected up the
battles Of the Aisne and the Somme.
This was accomplished by a series
of successful local attacks. Military
experts expect to see the fighting
spread between the Aisne and Disc,
for allied victory in that region would
break the hinges of both the Aisne
and Somme lines and compel Ger
man retirement on both sides of the
new battle area.
Following closely upon the German
evacuation Of front line positions
north of Albert, which were taken
over by the British came another
voluntary REIMBURSEMENT Of trenches
in the Lys sector. The village of
Vieux Berquin has been given up and

miles to a depth of from one to two

himself for prohibition, both State

ARE YOU FOR
OR AGAINST ?

Now that the candidates of both polit-
ical parties for the nomination of Rep
resentative to the next State Legisla-
ture have been selected, the question of
their position on the only vital domestic
question before the people at the No
vember election is desired and can't be
lodged. We refer to the ratification of
the National Prohibition amendment.
The Legislature to be chosen this fall
is confronted with this issue, and its
membership will decide its fate.
rhe people of the county have right
to know where their Representatives
stand-for or against. No ifs and ands
go. The Democrat wishes plain state
ment from the county's candidates for
R representative. 1t is up to Mr.. Huber
and Mr.. Brookhart.

pened elsewhere. Suggestions that
the 100000 army program would
exhaust Americas man power were
denied by General March, but he
joined Secretary Baker in explaining
that it represents Americas maxi
mum effort for the present.
General Crowder outlined his plan
of calling men under the new draft
as follows: The registration cards of
men of Is and those above SO will be
laid aside by the draft boards, which
will at once start classifying men OF
l9 and 20 and men of 80 to 36 inclu-
sive. Many of these men will be put
into class one and many of them
NoAAOA AIICl IuC
finish this classification they will
start the classification of men above
36, many of whom will go into class
one on the same footing as the men
previously classified.
Secretary Baker declared that
there was no intention of making a
point of calling men above 81 before
calling those below 21, and also said
that deferred classification on the
grounds of dependency would be gov
erned by the same rules as at pres
ent. He specially denied that mar
riage alone would be made a cause
for exemption. Leave it to the reg
ulations and We'll disregard all mar
riages contracted to escape the
draft" Baker concluded.
1t appears probable that the bin
will be debated simultaneously in the
senate and house the last of this
week and passed soon thereafter
Senate prohibition advocates agreed
to temporarily lay aside the national
prohibition bill and give the man
power program the right Of way.
