Of Youths - Under Twenty-One
Faiied-Measurs Now Goes
to Confer ence.

Washington, Aug 28.-The man
power bill bringing within the army
draft all men from eighteen to forty
five years old was passed by the SEN
ate. with modified work-or-fght
clause. The senate was recorded
unanimously for the bill. Senator
Gore cf Oklahoma, who cast the only
negative vote on the roll call. withdrew
t and was excused from voting. All
efforts to change the age limits or to
direct separate classification Of youths
under twenry-one failed, and the meas
ure now goes to conference between
the house and senate with no differ
ence for serious controversy except the
work-or-fght provision.
The only important amendment In
the senate bill Is the Thomas-Reed
antistrike proposal. BY vote Of 40
to 20 the senate rejected q motion
made by Senator McKellar Of Tennes-
see to strike the amendment from the
bill. The amendment nullif1es exemp-
ton granted to essential workers II

however. the senate agreed to the pro-
viso offered by Senator Cummins Of
Iowa making the amendment inopera-
tive If the strikers agree to submit
their dispute to the war labor board.
Defeat 19.Year.oId Minimum.
Amendments designed to- restrain
the war department In any manner In
the drafting Of men under twenty-one
years Of age were rejected In rapid
most of them without even
a roll call. The main test Of strength
was on proposal by Senator POin-
dexter of Washington to make nine
teen years the minimum draft age. This
was defeated by vote of 81 to 21.
The bill will be sent to conference
at once. With the antistrike amend
ment forming the only point of differ
ence between the two houses. 1t Is be-
lieved an agreement can be reached
within day or two.
AS the situation stands today moth
ing seems likely to stand In the way
of the war departments intention of
fixing September 8 to as the date of
of the men made subject
to the draft under the new bill. There
is every likelihood that the measure
will be ready for President Wilson's
signature before the end of the week.

Americans Engaged in Fight for
Town of Bazoches.
Infantry Fighting Continues in Out
skirts Of Village-Pershing's Men
Have Upper Hand.

With the American Forces on the
Vesle Front, Aug. 29.-American
troops attacked the Germans in the re-
Ron of Bazoches, three miles west Of
B1smes. simultaneously the Germans
attacked the American lines at Fis-
mette, about a mile northwest Of
F1smes. Infantry fighting in the out
skirts of Bazoches still is continuing.
The Americans at present are holding
the upper hand. The attack on Ba-
zoches was made in daylight and the
Americans quickly improved their DO
sitlOns, although the Germans resisted
stubbornly. The Germans endeayored
to send additional infantry men to re-
enforce their lines and as they passed
down the hill south of Bazoches many
Of them were killed by the French and
American artillery and machine guns.
A stiff barrage preceded the Ameri-
can infantry attack and the lombard
ment was answered viciously by the
Germans
In their attack on Fismette the Ger
mans bOmbarded the town with heavy
guns and aerial bombs. German avi-
ators endeavored to drive the Ameri-
cans from the houses In Fismette so
that German machine gunners in the
hills could pick them off.
One German airplane descended
within 500 feet of the Fismette roofs,
firing machine guns. The Americans
drove 1t away with their machine guns.
The Americans are holding Fismette
securely.
German artillery continued to bonn
bard the Village at intervals during the
day.

Dangers for Game Fish.

The great cause of the decline In fish
life In stream is the pollution of the
stream, and for this there is neither
palliation nor excuse. A writer in All
Outdoors says it is true that a brook
or river is convenient place into which
to throw refuse. The people Of med1-
eval cities thought the same of their
streets until plague and pestilence
taught them better and instilled the
elements of hygiene into their minds.
Such ignorant negligence was sign
of their unenlightenment, yet, with all
of our boasted civilization, we are but
q step In advance when we convert our
sparkling streams into nOisOme sewers.
