An intense bombardment Of the allied

ners, although the enemy has made
no further attacks in this region. Gen.
Won Arnim is busy consolidating the
positions won and recognizing his
forces for new drive against The
other hills held by the allies west Of
KENNEL.
The German commander will have
to bring up fresh troops for further
operations, for the casualties suffered
by the enemy were exceedingly large.
Proof Of this was given by the dis
tressing sight on the battlefield over
which the contending armies strug-
gled. During the attack by the enc
my one British brigade inflicted four
times as many losses Is they them
selves suffered.
This proportion might not hold good
for the whole sector, but certainly the
German losses were excessive at many
points. At Locre, which the French
recaptured, and where the fighting
ragged fiercely, the number of German
dead was very large.
Cen. Won Arnim employed aboupt 10
divisions in his assaults, five OF which
we're fresh troops. This meant that
on a front Of about 10000 yards, be-
tween Dranoutre and the Ypres-Com-
ines canal, the allies had a total OF
l2O, 900 troops against them.
The French operations not only
drove the Germans from Locre, but
took Hospice and Locrehof farm, both
strong points lying to the southeast OF
the village Locre was one OF the most
holly contested points along the front
The allied attack south Of Villers
Bretonneux gave rise to very heavy
fighting. Some progress was made
toward retaining this position. which
the enemy held as result OF the Ger
man push. The enemy In a counter
attack threw themselves against one
French division seven times without
, being able to get forward.
The British have nearly 900 German
: prisoners in the cages as a result O
other counter-operations. The British
also took several hundred prisoners il
the fighting north of KENNEL.
The Germans are holding Mon

A New Service Flag.

One of our jackies, Maurice Glenn
emit, the Quartermaster on the o. s. 8.
Texas, thinks that the conventional
service flag which is now flying from
lnnumerable windows all over the
country, has one defect. It does not
tell what branch Of the service each
man has entered.
Now Quartermaster Clement is ex-
tremely proud of being in the navy,
so, when he came to make a service
Dag for his own home, he framed the
central white space with piece Of
white-line tied in attractive knots. At
the top and bottom Of the panel he
made double Carrick bend; at each
side, at equal intervals, figure eight
knot, and then a square knot, thus
making balanced design.
This flag is not only very attractive,
but 1t leaves absolutely no doubt as
10 what branch Of the service it sym
bolizes.-Popular Science Monthly.

TER MEN REACHING n.
JAKE DIVINITY STUDENTS

Washington.-Drafting Of men who
ave become 81 since last June was
approved by the house. Under an
amendment by Representative Hull OF
Iowa, they will be put at the foot Of
the list and called only when all avail
able men under last years registra-
ton have been taken into service.
This and another provision which
does away with military exemption for
divinity students will necessitate q
conference with the senate. Chairman
Dent OF the military committee an.
nounced that the war department will
order the registration OF the men
made eligible by this bill June 5, the
anniversary Of the first enrolment.
All men who have reached Fl by that
date must register; they win be
classed, after answering question
naires, on exactly the same terms as
men enrolled year ago.
Under an agreement proposed
amendments to register men from q
to 40 were postponed to prevent com
plicatihg and delaying the principal
measure.
II such men are registered, how
ever, It will be June 5 also.
Representative Hull won his fight z
put the 1918 class of young men a.
the foot Of the list, after reading
statement from the war department
that It neither favored nor opposed thu
amendment. The vote favoring thu
amendment was 119 to 81.
Divinity students lose their exemp
ton, military committee member
said, because there has been an al
normal increase in the number o
pioNs young men the last year. On
der President Wilson's recent regula
tons these men will be used in nor
combatant divisions.
