Hundreds of people who remember
the old tug Resolute of Civil War
fame and for many years the fastest
steamer on the kennebec, will be in
terested in the following paragraph
from Fridays Bath Times:
In the freight brought up by the
Virginia this morning and lying on
the wharf was pile of iron junk
from Capt. T. f. Moore of Popham
Beach. A long iron strip was the
guard from the old tugboat Resolute
whose wreck was given by the Morses
to Capt. Moore years ago. He has
been using the wooden timbers of the
old boat for fuel and it has kept him
going for some years. He says that
the flames from this fuel are all the
colors of the rainbow. Captain Moore
is II years of age but keeps as busy
as many flr younger men.

PRESIDENT SPECIFIES
MORE ENEMY ALIENS
IN A PROCLAMATION HE Elk
TENDS LIST OF ENEMIES OF
THE UNITED STATES.

ngton.-President Wilson ex-
tended the list of enemies of the Unit
ed States under powers Of the trading
with-the-enemy act to take in a NUM-
Der of classes that heretofore have
not come within the operation Of the
law. Under his proclamation the fol
lowing are designated as enemies:
Any woman residing outside of the
United States, who is citizen of an
enemy nation, or whose husband is al
officer or agent Of an enemy nation, Or
who is carrying on business activities
with enemy nations.
All persons whom the allied nations
at war with the central powers have
found it necessary to intern or hold
as prisoners of war
All persons, citizens of enemy coun-
tries, who have assisted in the dissen-
nation of German propaganda, or II
plotting or intriguing against the
United States or the government of
any of the allied nations.
All individuals, citizens Of neutral
countries, whom the war trade board
may hereafter formally name on the
enemy trading list.
All citizens of enemy countries, 10
matter where they reside now, who
have resided within the territory OF
enemy powers since August 4, 1914.
The proclamation requires officers
of corporations and trustees within
the United States to furnish within 80
days to the alien property custodian a
list of whatever holdings there are
whose ownership includes individuals
within the newly classified lists Of en-
emies. Debtors to persons now made
enemies also are required to furnish
statement to the custodian, under
such rules and regulations as may be
provided.

ALLIES MAY SOON
TAKE OFFENSIVE
GENERAL FoCH SAYS SUCCESS
CANNOT BE OBTAINED
OTHERWISE.
TO HOLD Is NOT VICTORY
For Allies To Maintain Their Position
Is Not Synony nous With Being
Victorious and Even Prepares
For a Defeat.

London. That battles can be
won in the end only by the army
which takes the offensive is the sig
niticant declaration made by General
Foeh, commander in chief of the al
lies in an important article contribut-
ed by him to the Weekly Journal in
which he discusses the problem Of the
soldier and the way to victory.
Modern warfare, to arrive at its
end to impose it's will on the enemy.
says General Foch, recognizes only
one means-destructio of the enc
my's organized forces.
War undertakes and prepares this
destruction by battle which brings
about the overthrow of the adversary,
discrepancies his command, destroys
his discipline and nullifies his units
as far as their fighting power is con-
cerned.
Our first axiom must be that COM
pletely to achieve it's object battle
must not be purely defensive. A pure
ly defensive battle, even we'll conduct
ed, does not result in a victor and a
vanquishqer 1t is simply game that
must be begun over again.
From this it is an obvious corral
airy that an offensive, whether strated
at the beginning of an action Or wheth-
er it follows the defensive, can only
give results and in consequence must
always be adopted at the finish.
But since there remains no doubt
that decisive attack is the very key
stone of battle, all other actions
which make up battle must be en-
visaged, considered, organized, proyid-
ed with force in the measure in which
they will prepare, facilitate and guar
antee development of decisive at
tack characterized by its mass, its sur
prise, it's speed, and for which in con-
sequence it is essential that there
shall be the maximum reserve force
possible of troops of maneuver. The
reserve-that is to say the prepared
bludgeon-is to be organized and kept
carefully instructed to execute the
single act of battle from which re-
suits are expected, namely, the de-
fensive attack"

HUNS GAINS COSTLY
But NOT DANGEROUS
FIGHTING IN THIS WAR NEVER
MORE SEVERE THAN GOING
ON AT PRESENT.
GERMANS ARE MOVED DOWN
Allied Line is Bent Insignifica c
Resistance France is Offei
Actual Position of Comba SsSP2
pears To Be Efficacious.

| With the French Army in France
Fighting in this war probably never
has been more sever than that going.
on today in the great battle of French
and German armies between Montdi-
der and Noyon.
| The Germans attacking on ground
where the entente allies were ready
to receive the shock, have found them
selves thrown into a slaughterhouses
whence most of them never will mako
an exit.
When the German infantry began
coming over in the densest Masses
they encountered Immediately heavy
! fire from both machine guns and ar.
! tillery, which moved them down.
| Ever since, as fresh waves entereO
the conflict, they were subjected to-
similar punishment.
The German progress must not be
taken to mean that the German forces
have overcome the defenders, who IN
tended from the beginning to retire I'D
their actual lines of combat as soon as
the action developed.
Some idea of the determined natures
of the fighting may be gathered fromi
| the struggle on each wing. The viii
lage OF Courcelles changed hands
many times and when this dispatcn
was sent was in the possession of the
allies At the other end of the lines
Mont Renaud was still making a mag
nificent defense and last reports show
ed that Leplmont was yet in allied
hands.
The center, about Ressons-sur Matzs
where the Germans made their most
obstinate effort and formed a pocket
ending southeastward is the only part
of the line against which the Germans
have been able to report real gain.
Their intention is to try to reach the
banks of the Disc and threaten the ;.l-
entity of Noyon.
The Germans knew when they
opened the attack that their task
would be difficult. Therefore, they
sent into the fray only chosen divl-
sions which had been specially train
ed for the assault 1t is estimated
that they engaged approximately 20
divisions on the front line for the,
first shock, while behind these, ready
to take the place of the exhausted til
visions, there probably were Similar
number, perhaps even greater.
At the conclusion of the first "a
hours Of the new battle between Mont
didier and the Disc, the impression
gained is that the powerful German
smash has not brought the enemy the
result he expected. The allied line
is bent quite insignifcantly and tho
resistance the French are Offering on
the actual position of the combat ap~
pears TO be efficacious
The allied staffs are prepared to-
meet every eventuality and display
the most perfect confidence in th@
outcome.

PLAN TO REVIEW
ALL DRAFT LISTS
GEN. CRoWDER EXPECTS TO ADD
MANY MEN TO CLASS
NO. 1.

Washington.-Wit the double pur-
pose of increasing the number of men
available for military service and of
insuring fairer administration of the
selective service law, Provost Mar
shall General Crowder has telegraph
ed governors of all states, asking i'm
mediately reinvestigation of the draft
classification lists everywhere.
Class one, already exhausted in
some localities by the repeated calls,
contains 28.7 per cent of all regis
trants, according to the national aver
age, but percentages in the $500 To-
cal exemption board districts vary
most materially, both up and down
from the average figures.
By Stacker marriages" and I'M
grounded claim of right of industrial
or agricultural exemption, Gen. Crowd
er believes some registrants have I'M
posed upon the local boards to escape
service, while in other districts an
application of the regulations has been
perhaps stricter than is intended. The
governors and the appeal agents are
asked to investigate. and upon evil
dence, to ask boards to reclassffy
men. Assistance of the public
through supplying information to the
boards also is asked.
1t was said that with the gradual
extension of class one, unskilled farm
laborers whom the boards have been
allowed to place at its bottom VIII
have to go to environments. There
will be no change in the policy, and
the only relief, it is declared, will
come from Endorsement Of the work
or fight" order generally.
1t is expected that the rearrange-
ment will bring into class one more
than 100000 men.
