lery fire and a bombardment with gas
shells. the Germans continued their
efforts to drive through to the third
line of the American positions near
Apremont forest northwest OF Toul.
They made two attacks, both OF which
failed. The enemy's casualties in the
four days fighting areestimated at be-
tween 300 and 400 or this number
more than 100 were killed.
Although the enemy wasted fully
half OF his specially trained shock
troop battalion OF 500 men. he was
unable to penetrate the American
lines. which remained unchanged. OF

had had no food for two days. as the
American artillery had prevented

Enlistments Suspended Pend
ing Passage Of Draft
Legislation.
NEW REGULATIONS SOON
Baker Says Action Is Taken to
Prevent Disruption Of
Industry.
NEW REGULATIONS SOON
Special Despatch TO Ty suS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Voluntary en-
listments for both the army and navy
were suspended to-day through orders
from the War and Navy Departments.
pending Congressional action on the pro-
posed amendments to the existing selec-
tive draft law.
In the navy order the fact was men
toned that there might be a resumption
OF volunteering once the selective draft
law had been amended. The order from
the War Department stated that 1t
would remain in force until pending
legislation with regard to draft ages Is
disposed Of and suitable regulations
drawn up to cover the operation Of the
selective system under the new law"
Baker Explains Action.
Secretary Bafa- gave the following
explanation OF his order:
This action Is taken in order to pre-
vent the disruption OF. the industry of
the country and the impairment of the
efficiency of the various governmental
agencies which would follow the indis-
criminate enlistment OF men up to the
age of IS.
1T is the Departments intention to
present to the President for promulga-
ton regula lions in connection with the
operation of the selective system which
will make 1t truly selective and leave 1t
to the Government to determine whether
men can be spared from their present
occupations for military service
Secretary Daniels said:
THE large increase In enlistments In
the navy and Marine Corps has made It
possible to suspend further enlistment
until pending legislation affecting the
draft for the army is disposed Of.
When 1t is resumed II will be in fun
cooperation with the War Department
under arrangements which will secure
all the men needed for both services"
News Gathering Indispensable.
News gathering is an essential oc-
cupation. but not all reporters can ue
classed as essential. That is the g.st
Of the comment made to-day by Sec
rotary Baker on the ruling OF n Iratt
board that reporter must give up his
newspaper Job and go to work" under
the work or fight proclamation.
Il do not hesitate to say that the
gathering Of news for the pubic in
formation IL an indispensa BILE industry,
but whether certain person is in
dispensable to that industry I think
must be determined upon facts" the
Secretary said. II think the question
Of his indispensableness would depend
upon the possibility Of replacing him"
