Especial DtSpGtch to The IrrbRre)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The issu-
ance of new commissions in the army
and the promotion of men already in
the service was ordered stopped to-day
by Secretary of War Baker.
The new order affects applicants
principally from civilian life, several
hundred of whom have been commits
stoned daily by the department during
the last year.
Whether thousands Of student candi-
dates now in central training camps
will be commissioned has not been de-
termined. The officers section of the
adjutant generals department has rec
commended the schools be continued
until the four months course in each
has been completed and that second
ieutenancies be given to all who
qualify.
The Camp Fremont school, scheduled
to open December ], for the training
of 10000 officers, was abandoned to-
day.
The central camps, where thousands
of young men are in training, include
infantry schools at Camps Lee, Gordon,
Pike, Macarthur and Grant, a machine
gun school at Camp Hancock, field
artillery school at Camp TYLER, coast
artillery schoo. at Fort Monroe and a
quartermaster officers school at Jack

Yanks Astounded Foch
In St. Mihiel Clean-Up
Given Ten Days to Drive Hun From Salient Saws Otto H
Kahn, They Did the Job in Thirty Hours-F4ow
Paris Was Saved at Chateau Thierry

BOSTON, Nov. 12.--Otto H. Kahn, in
an address here tonight at United
War Work campaign meeting, told
some new details of the American de-
fence at Belleau Wood, near Chateau
lhlerry, last June, which engagement
he called the tide of the war. Mr..
Kahn was in France at that time.
MIR. Kahn also said Marshal Foch al
lotted the Americans ten days to clean
up the st. Mihiel salient, and they did
it in thirty hours.
French troops had been fighting
i'ercely and almost hopelessly above
Chateau Thierry," said Mr.. Kahn. "A
French officer commanding body Of
poilus told me that when his men were
almost on the point of total exhaus-
ton, on the 4th or 9Th Of June, the
Americans suddenly appeared, rushing
to the rescue. One of their officers
hurried up to him, saluted and spoke
six words of wretched French: 'Vous
fatigues. Vous partir. Notre job"
(You tired. You get away. Our job.)
How Paris Was Saved
"On the 26th Of May the Germans
had broken through the French posi-
tions on the Chemin des Danes. Day
by day they came nearer to Paris, until
only thirty-nine miles separated them
from their goal. A few days more at
the same rate Of advance and Paris was
within range. Of the German guns of
terrific destructive power
"And then, suddenly out Of the
gloom, flashed the lightning of new
sword, the sharp and valiant sword of
America, the sword which has never
known defeat.
"A division Of marines and other
American troops were rushed to the
front as desperate measure to try to
stop a gap where flesh and blood, even
when animated by French heroism.
seemed incapable Of further resistance.
They came in trucks, in cattle cars,
any old way, crowded together like
sardines. They had had little food and
less sleep for days.
when they arrived the situation
had become such that the French COM
mand advised, indeed ordered, them to
retire. But they and their brave gen
eral would not hear of it. They dis
embarked almost upon the field Of bat
tie and rushed forward. with little care
for battle order or strategy They
stormed ahead, right through the midst
of retreating French division, yelling

Registrants 81 46 Need
Not Fill Out Their
Questionnaires
Others 7 oBe Examined
Applications for Central Off
GERS Camp To Be Re-
fused Henceforth

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Draft
boards were ordered to-day to stop
classifying men under nineteen or over
,sirty-six years and to withhold ques-
t;annsires for such registrants not
,lresdy sent out.
II was said officially at TIE provost
marshal generals office that draft
reaistrants from thirty-seven to forty
ak years old who have received ques-
.ionnaires need not fill them out.
Cancellation Of all draft calls and in
ductions practically has nullified the
famous work or fight order promul-
rated last summer and under which
thousands Of men fiocked to essential
industry on pain of immediate induc-
ton, though local boards have been
ordered to continue classifying after
physical examination men between
eighteen and thirty-six. The work or
ssht order falls by reason Of the fact
that the only penalty attached was
that Of being placed In Glass I. With
csIs stopped the government has no
power to penalize non-essential en-
ployment.
The cessation Of the draft calls
found the work OF classifying all regis
s,ants in the eighteen to forty-fve-
year class moro than 6 per cent COM
nlete in the United States and entirely
= tot
The stopping Of the calls does not re-
lieve any delinquent who has failed
10 obey draft board orders from the
uenalities which are attached under
The law.
4 single order from the General STAFF
would suffice to start another stream
Of men flowing into the cantonments
and bring the work or fight order and
ali other wartime requirements back
into force.
The question of the number Of Amer
lean troops to be retained in France or
elsewhere in Europe is being studied
on that side, Mr. Baker said, while the
General Staff is preparing recommen-
dations as to the number to be kept
under arms in this country. The prob.
lem in Europe remains one of joint op-
erations with the Allied nations in
after.the-war guarding and other work
to be done by the military forces. and
no conclusions on this point can yet be
made.
MI. Baker said several factors will
govern the ordey in which men will be
released from the army. It is obvious,
he said, that as matter Of justice men
who had been longest in the service
should be released first, but the indus
trial situation and the special need for
men Of certain calling probably will
modify the principle Of making length
si service guide to order Of muster
cut.
