ONE THOUSAND PRISONERS
 WERE TAKEN IN ADVANCE
All Indications Point to the intention of the Germans to Desperately De-
 fend Their Old Positions and the Alfndcnbura Line-Germans Have Shortened Their Line Seventy Miles

London, Sept l2.-The British have made further important progress to- ward Cam5rai having captured tht towns of IHayrincourt, Trescault anc Mouvres, penetrated into the old Brit ish defense line at several places and crossed the Canal-du-Nord north 0, Havrincourt, according to Field Mar sha Haig s communication issued to- night. Approximately thousand Germans were made prisoner in tho operations.
 At HaYrincourt the G2nd Cork shirel division which carried the dt- vision on November g. 1917, attacked for second time over the same ground and with like success. Other English troops attacked across the Canal-du-Nord north of Havrincourr After sharp fighting our troops cap- turcd thc village, together with the section of the lIindenburg line he tween the village and the canal,
 North Of Bapaume-Cambrai road Lancashire troops completed the cap ture of Mocuyres, also after sharp fighting.
 lAbout 1qO0 prisoners have been taken by Us in these operations On the northern portion progress has been made by us today south of La. bassee canal and northwest of Amen tieres
 All indications on the British front point to the intention of the Germans to defend their positions in the highly organized zone of the Germans old positions and the Hindenburg line, in undating the country where that is possible Doubtless, however, tney are considering the establishment of 3 strong line farther back with the big towns of Douai, Cambrai and St, Quentin as pivots,
 It is pointed out that the Germans since July 1st have shortened tneir line approximately 70 miles. Hence, the British expect strong resistance and counter attacks to continue
 Before the lIindenburg system now held by the Germans can be success fully dealt with much construction will be necessary. But this is not viewed as d great task owing to the speed Of the British engineers, who are now engaged in the preliminaries of this work
 In their recent advance the British fired moro than ten million shells iH four weeks As a result the enemy's wire was cut with greater thorough ness than ever before and the Brit ish counter battery work, accordinl to the German statements destroyCt ten guns to the Germans one.

tenoon and about 300 German pris- oners have been sent back to the cages.
 The attack was begun this morning in the midst of rain Because of the ridge, the ground was not in partic- ularly bad condition. The operation was local one. restricted to the cap ture of positions of the Hayrineour. Trcscault sector This was the only important action reported on the Brit ish front today.
 The main interest heer centered in the American drive. officers through out the British army are watching the battle eagerly. A meager report re- ceiyed this afternoon that things we're going well for the Americans was re- ceived with the greatest enthusiasm and expressions of heartfelt good wishes

ing for the first time went into ac- ton today in the St Mihiel salient Never before has there been such a large concentration of American troops for one operation and never have the Americans Jeen in such complete control of their own opera tions
 "rhe event had long been antici- paled. Some people assigned to it erandiose objects, but in reality it is for limited objects only.
 The concentration of great part of the most experienced United States troops had taken place the last two weeks and everything was planned minutciy and with eNacti- tude for q great event in American history Last night final prepara- tions were completed
 "The country over which the Amer jeans are fighting is very difficult The high ridges and thick woods offer every c0nCealmcnt for the en- tmy machine guns and in addition the Germans have d fortified line Of resistance which has everything ln it's favor
 At one o'clock Thursday morning the artillery preparation began with roar that could Le heard many miles away From all the roads that run parallel the flashes of innumer- able guns told of the impending as- sault Toward tive o'clock the hou Of the attacl<-the firing became even more rapid and it's sullcn tone mingl- ed strangely with the sound of the rain
 At dawn whole fleets of tanks manned by strong young Americans and French were to be seen moving cut of their shelters to lead the at tack They numbered on Lut the Germans offered little opposition. The American infantry followed in open order, blowing through the mud, but they were little troubled by the lttDlt di Llli0iS lNolNNaHN'.
 At one point near Scicheprey, where the Americans had previously fought desperately with the Germans machine gun and automatic fire swept down upon the yanks right flank, lut the tanks and artillery quickly moved in that direction and the Americans went steadily for ward
 At seven o'clock the tanks had Gisappoaded amid a smoke cloud over the ridge in front of Seicheprey "The Germans have offered very little resistance 10 the advancing ] Americans Occasionally stray machine gun or automatic rifle is 1 discovered but it is apparent the enemy has withdrawn the main forces to a second line which possi- 1 lly he will defend with a certain de- gree of tenacity.
 "The artillery has been firing from behind a ridge which luns in front | of the American line, but he is be- ing pursued by tanks which at onf point lost only one out of forty five and that stuck in the mud.
 "A few prisoners of the tenth land wehr division have been taken.
 The Americans are pressing for ward in fine style and slowly closin in the extreme ends of the St. Mihie salient
 At the time of telegraphing new of what has happened is very meagrf but the correspondent has just yisite the battle front and heard of tn progress of the American units in tn region of Montsec and Seicheprey an of the capture of several villages.

Paris, Sept. -. The first big American offensive which began at dapbreak at the Mouse and Moselle rivers, was conducted under General porshng's personal supervision and was executed under orders Of Amcrl- can officers, with American soldiers This was the first distinctly Amer ican operation of major character launched on the western front
 American forces in the course of the last twenty-!our hours have ac- cepted series of bold strokes rn Lorraine and in the Nosges. American detachments made a surprise attack on the German positions ct many points and penetrated the enemy lines at some places, meeting with but feeble resistance.
 Having at some places reached the German support line, the Americans in accordance with orders they had received retired They destroyed an the material they were unable to carry away and blew up the machine gun shelter, concrete block houses anl munitions depOts.
 German heavy shell reached iso- lated points, but tardily and ineffi- cicntly.
 The Americans in the course ol these operations inflicted heavy loss es on the enemy.
 On the whole front there was re- strained reciprocal bombardment.

Washington, Sept. 12--Thirtcen mil- from which will come the reserves 10

As these men were moving in every city, town and hamlet over the country 10 add their names to the roll of the eleven million who had registered before, the nations fighting army overseas was hurlins itself against the enemy in the first distinctly American offensive opera tion on the western front
 Demonstrations of patriotism
 anywhere marked the registration. Provost Marshal General Crowder said that when the returns are in they will show all who sought to evade their duty
 In all the reports of the progress of the registration during the day at the provost marshal generals office there was no suggestion of any disorder. or ficials had been confident that the deed of the fighting men overseas had stirred the country to the highest pitch of patriotism and determination
 With registration day now history the next move of the draft machinery will be in he numbering serially Of the registration cards. Until that work is completed by the local boards, the drawing of the order numbers which will determine in a measure the rela- tive standing of the registrants can not be held.
 in the meantime, however ques- tionnaires will go forward to men be-
 tween 19 and 21. and 32 and 36 so that they may be classified and some or them must be made ready for call in October after the national drawing is held.
 Complete reports from the regis | tration today are not expected by Pro- yost Marshal General Crowder before i Saturday
 Officials today again called the a:- tention of registrants to the fact that 1 the law requires that they carry their
 registration cards with them at ali
 ines so that upon demand of an au- i thorized police official they can pro- l duce them
 A nation wide effort to round up
 men who failed to register for the draft today will be started immedi- ately by a specially organized corps 1 of department of justice agents. This
 corps, it was learned today, has been | in process of organization for som5 1 time. Methods have been developed for gathering information from hun dreds of sources about men within the new draft ages, who failed to respond | Many volunteer members of tha American Protective league are uf1- derstood to have enlisted in the new campaien against draft dodgers and it i virtually will be impossible for slacA-

 Up 10 d late hour no official repor from General Pcrshing had come. President Wilson visited acting Sec Iretary Crowell during the afternoon and there is no doubt that he wa. told just what General Pershing na' accomplished and what might be cX
 pected to develop from this blow. First reports were vague They toF merely that the American army hGt launched an attack around the St Mi

 mained to the German leaders to sho,
 for their offensive efforts since tn war began. It seemed possible tha the objective of the attack was Metl

Books on war history are the most
popular now with the Keokuk public

university of Pennsylvania; Fighting
for Peace" by Henry Van Dyke; 'sOn
the Right of the British Line" and
Poems of the Great War by j. w.
Cunliffe are getting tlTtmb-edged
from hard use.
The more entertaining books s1rch
as '+Over the Top by Empey, Private
Peat" and MY Four Years in Ger
