DEFERRED CLASS LISTING
IMPERATIVE FOR RAIL men
Patriotic Duty Of Competent Road
Employees to Claim It, Mr.. NC
Adoo Tells Draft Boards.

The railroad administration has in
structed all employees in the classes
declared by it as essential to proper
operations to claim deferred draft
classification as a patriotic duty.
In new order to regional d.
rectors. Mr.. McAdoo prescribed the
policy to be followed by railroad ex-
ecutives in asking deferred classifi-
cation for most of their men, and set
forth a statement Of the railroads
needs to be presented in his name
to district boards.
Explaining the reasons for asking
there is no surplus whatever Of en-
ployes for running the railroads and
there is no surplus supply of labor
from which new employees can be
drawn to replace those who may be
taken for the military service. For
this reason the drafting of ANY COM
petent railroad employe" from an Gin
dispensable branch of the railroad
service" by many draft boards would
lative and far-reaching injury to the
United States Railroad Administra-
ton and would destroy the purpose
for which the government took pos
session or control Of the railroads.
1--WE are all striving for the Same
end" continued Mr.. McAdoo, land
that Is to win the war. To the extent
that railroad men can be spared from
railroad service for military service
extent that they are needed for rail-
road service the district boards should
not attempt to take them for mill
tary service"

Enemy Shows Slowing Up.

Enemy aerial activity has shown a
decided slowing up in the past TWEEN
ty-four hours, partly because of the
aggressiveness of American fiiers and
partly because all the airdromes be-
hind the German lines have been
greatly damaged in the persistent
bombardment they have undergone.
Allied cooperation in bombing
operations has been a notable contri-
button to the success. of the offensive.
French patrols yesterday engaged in
eleven combats, bringing down one
plane and four observation balloons.
The American pursuit group had six
combats. sending down three planes.
Reconnaissance machines took photo
graphs and directed artillery fire.
Bombing planes dropped more than
eleven tons of bombs on Longuyon,
Dommery and Barroncourt and two
tons on Contains and Audun. OBJ
servers reported the damage at Con-
fans was especially heavy. All
enemy centers irHthis section have
been seriously damaged in the past

Machine Gun Activity.

Pursuit groups played q large part
in maintaining bombing barrages over
the sector in advance Of the attack. and
they engaged enemy airplanes and bal
looms wherever they were found. The
work of the American observation
corps was greatly facilitated by this
activity More than 10000 rounds of
machine gun bullets were fired at con-
voys, artillery and troops concentra-
lions. The pursuit groups followed
the British method OF attack in
launching small bombs at the concen-
trations they discovered.
A number of valuable reconnois-
sances we're made by aviators who
kept those in the rear in constant
touch with the shifting Of the front
line. No less than $50 attacks were
carried out against enemy ammuni-
ton dumps, batteries and other i'm
poItant targets. Observers penetrated
the enemy line to depths UP to thirty
miles day and night. and bombing
units made the surprising total OF
more than 1000 raids on railroad CEN
tiers and functions.
