British Slackers Hide Out

DUBLIN, July 3o.-The rounding up
of the English slackers who came TO
Ireland to escape conscription is pro.
ceeding thoroughly. but has not nro-
duccd anything like the number Of mon
that most people imagined to be avail
able. Estimates running as high as
$4,000 at one time were current but
the best opinion now fixes the number
at one-fifth Of that figure
The deportation of these people was
quite popular. Some OF them are sun
posed to have taken to he hills to avoid
arrest, and there are rumors in Duh-
lin that the Dublin and Wicklow noun
tans are alfording them shelter.

AT conference III Washington on

mates OF requirements for the current
hall-year were placed at 5000 900 tons.
ABOUT 3,0OO,C0O tons more than was es-

possible that the figures may even be

AS at the present rate of production
not more than $4,000 900 tons of rolled
steel may be expected, it will be neces-
sary to increase the present capacity of
the mills and finishing shops. Every
pound of steel will be needed for war
purposes. Other enterprises will be
completely cut off, and even the pref
erencc list REDUCED.
Iron is relatively in a worse position
than steel. Scarcity Of the former is
largely responsible for the shortage of
the latter. Furnaces have been ham

American Army on the Marne.-The
German prisoners captured in the
counter-attack by the Americans at
the bend on the Marne number be-

a complete brigade staff.
The fighting continues with fierce
intensity in this district. while the
battle RACES with equal ferocity on the
right, where the French are reported
to have delivered a smashing blow
against the enemy. From this section
of the battlefront 1t appears that the
German offensive, at least for the
time being, has been badly shattered.
The Americans now command the
river front at the bend. At the left
of the bend, the famous German Tenth
Division has made repeated attempts
all day to cross, but all assaults have
been smashed by the splendidly d.

It was announced at the District Ex-

upon registrants in the second class to
complete the quota of the next draft.
Instead Of this there will be made, in
case Of necessity, call upon the first
class Of the men who registered last
June. 1t is known that the number Of
men remaining in the f1rst class at
several of the local boards is very
low and it is very probable that
these boards will be forced to call
upon the newly registered men.
Work is also rapidly progressing in the
Redistribution Of men from one class
into another It will be some time,
however, before this work is completed.
There are altogether 1850 white men
in the whole state who are in Glass l
for the military draft. There are also
1921 colored men. When the 1000
white men leave for Camp Meade on
July % only 1900 men will be left in
