Imperial County Quota Readjusted by

Imperial county has won in it's con-

county is too high.
Adjutant General Boree yesterday
telegraphed the local BOARD to place
in Class V all Japanese, Mexicans and
Hindus who had failed to make out

There are 612 in this class of reg,
istrants, Mr.. Barton figures. This will
make great difference in the quota
for this country if 1T is finally set
according to the number of men in
Class I.
The kilograms exchanged between
the board and General Boree were as
follows:
"Local Board: How many of your
delinquents do you know are ignorant
aliens? You can tell fairly well from
registration cards. These men should
be arbitrarily placed in Glass V. Do
ing so will eliminate much trouble for
your board Will withhold figures
from list and will forward them to

as possible. BOREE."
To the above telegram Mr.. Barton
replied:
"Your teiegra mignorant aliens.

and Hindus, all of whose notices have
been returned unclaimed and presump-
tion is they lcng ago left the county.

(By Associated pressl

With the American Army in France,
Thursday, March 21.-The enemy's
first and second line positions in part
of the sector east of Luneville have
been destroyed by American artillery,
while shelled the lines last night and
today following a raid into the Ger
man lines. An American patrol, un-
assisted by artillery, crossed and
found the lines wiped out.
A number of Germans deserted last
night northwest of Toul, They sur
rendered to the Americans and We're
delivered to the French. The desert
ers gave much valuable information.
Three German airplanes flew over
the American lines at daybreak and
used machine guns without results.
Included in the information from
the deserters was the statement that
during gas protector attack against
the American lines on February 27,
900 projectors were employed. Half
the projectors fired fell within the
German lines and the gas overcame
many Germans. The next day, ac-
curding to the deserters, eleven Ger
mans were killed and thirty wounded
while taking out the dead. American
officers are inclined to
doubt the story regarding ths pro-
jectors, as the Americans informa
ton is that only seventy-five projec-
tors were used in the attack.
An American patrol remained six
hours last night in the enemy first
line. They did not see the enemy.
1t is reported that the Germans have
recently constructed trenches lined
with concrete half way up the side.
Great activity continues behind the
e3emy lines. The indications are that
the GcrGlans intend to construct a
rumber d; new pill boxes opposite the
American front.

Washington Skeptical.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, March 22.-There is a
marked tendency among American ar
my officers not to accept the present
German movement as the real often.
sive until it more fully develops. They
report that the London announcement
of an attack over a front of more
than fifty miles is the most stupen-
dous Germany has ever attempted on
the western front. There is a distinct
feeling here that the movement may
prove to be gigantic demonstration
for the benefit of European neutrals
or to cloak other German purposes.
There is supreme confidence that the
Allies will be able to arrest the Ger
mans, even if it should prove to be the
grand offensive.

sible to publish the exact British line
up, as it might furnish the enemy
valuable information. Last night was
