FRENCH SMASH
CENTER LINES
PerShing's sArmyHa
Placed Enemy in
Great Danger
By associated Press

London, Oct. 8.-English and
American troops attacked this
morning on the front between
St. Quentin and Cambria, Field
Marshal Haig announced to-
day. Satisfactory progress is being
made, the report states.
In successful operations near Mont
Brehain and Beaurevoir on this
front yesterday, more than 23O Ger
mans were taken prisoner by Ameri-
can and English troops.
Today's attack was launched Just
before daybreak, during a heavy
rain which began last night.
TROSSING the Aisne at Berry-au-
~ Bac. the French have brought
new peril to the whole German
line in the Laonnois and Champagne
sectors IN France. This advance by
General Bertholet's men seems to be
stroke which may be cosidered in
future as the fist step in the final
operation designed to hurl the Ger
mans out of the positions they have
held for so long from the Ailette
river to the Meuse.

fall back rapidly. At the same time
the Germans retreating before Cen
eral Gouraud's army, further TO the
east, will find that the Aisne, their
apparent objective in the present re-
tirement, is not refuge. 1t may,
on the other hand. be but a trap for
the shattered forces now streaming
back from the Ply, Arnes, and upper
Aisne rivers.
French Take Hills
General Bertholet's wedge has
wrested the hills northwest of
Rheims from the enemy. swiftly
swept the enemy back to the suippe
river and crossed the Aisne at a
vital point.

ORDER NUMBERS
FOR NEW DRAFT
MADE PUBLIC
Men Having Serial Designa-
tions May Find Their
Places on List

The Harrisburg Telegraph prints
a list of all the serial numbers of
the new draft for the central Penn
sylvania district, showing the order
in which they were drawn in Wash
ington.
The master list. made public from
Washington to-day, contains 1900
numbers because somewhere in the
United States there is a local draft
board having that many registrants.
But as the largest number of regis
trants in any local division in or near
Harrisburg is four thousand odd, the
drawings above that figure may be
disregarded here. All the numbers
higher than the total number of men
registered with your local board will
be considered blanks by that board.
Each registrant should ascertain
from his local board how many men
1t has registered. Then. by taking
the subjoined list and drawing a
pencil through all the numbers larg-
er than that total the registrant will
be able to tell exactly what his call
number is: in other words, he can
find out how many men will be sum-
moned for examination before he is
called.
This is the list: read across the
lines. not down the columns. to as
certain the order of the drawing:
strike out all numbers that are high
er than the total number of regis
trants in your local until you come to
your own serial number. The cross
heads-"first hundred" and so on
are inserted before each block of 100
serial numbers for the readers con-
venience.

President at Work
The President had spent the en-
tire morning in his study and was
believed to be putting in final shape
a document upon which he worked
nearly all day yesterday.
None of those in the Presidents s
confidence would give an intimation
of his decision, but when the con-
ference was over there was no
change in the confident belief
throughout official circles that an
armistice would be flatly refused
and the Central Powers informed
that unequivocaI acceptance of con-
ditions laid down by the United
states and the Allies must precede
any meeting of peace plenipoten-
tiaries.
In Touch Wish Allies
The President, it was believed has
preceded actual sending of the re-
ply by asking Premiers Lloyd
George, Clemenceau and Orlando to
advise him of their answers or by
submitting to the premiers a draft
of his reply for approval. At any
rate 1t was assumed the American
reply will have the approval of Great
Britain, France and Italy and of
all the other co-belligerents.
