YANKEE RUsE DRAWS FIRE
American Puts Alarm Clock on Barp
Wire and Germans Loosen Tbeir
Big Guns.

How an American alarm clock kept
the whole German line guessing and
caused the Germans useless expen-
diture of large quantities oil machine
gun and rifle ammunition all one
night is related in a dispatch from the
front in France.
The Americans had been trying for
some time to draw the fire of certain
enemy units.
Leave Fritz to me-" said a happy
faced young American, who, putting
an alarm clock under his arm, dis
appeared into No Mans land under
cover of darkness and fastened the
clock to a wire.
Soon the alarm rang, w~hereupon
the Germans opened fire. The alarm
had been so arranged that the alarm
continued to ring Internationally and
each time drew a violent fire from
the enemy.
Meanwhile the Americans rested in
their trenches and enjoyed a hearty
laugh.
An American officer turned the
tables on the enemy recently. The
Germans had retired during a bonn
bardment to concrete dugouts be
hind their trenches. leaving the frs
three lines TO one man, who wen
around setting off flares, so as to ere
ate the impression that the whole
front was alive with Germans.
An American patrol leader wen
over and discovered the ruse. HI
killed the one German, invaded tn
trenches and gathered dozens Of stree
signs which the Germans has posted
returning to his own lines with tn
signs tucked under his arm.

aboard harbor shipping who we're
noisily welcoming the heroes" re-
turning from a raid on the Atlantic.
A torpedo from the British craft sum-
marily cut short the celebration and
eliminated the U-boat as a future men
ace to allied vessels. The brilliant
phase of the achievement is the tact
that the English vessel succeeded In
escaping and returning to port un-
harmed.
Besides detailing various engage
ments in which British submarines
have accounted for one or more enemy
war vessels-it is stated that more
than forty German warships have been
attacked successfully.

Frank Kluck. Jr.. was in from the
ranch. Monday. the first time for about
a month. Since being turned down
for service he has decided to make up
for 1t by feeding several Of the boys
who do go. Frank passed the physi-
cal examination here and at Salt Lake
without a question, but was rejected
in California on account OF a n
heart affection. The examining ply
stefan said II would probably never
bother him. but that in the aviation
service. which he joined. it was suf-
ticient to bar him. MIR. Kluck is OF
the opinion that he is sound as the
best OF men. but was indisposed when
the examination was made. He was
badly disappointed over his rejection
but can do a full mans part In help
ing TO feed those who do go. as he is
one OF the best farmers in the county.

September 18th To Be Draft Day.

President Wilson last Saturday sign
ed the bill passed by Congress bring
ing within the army draft all men in
the United States between the ages of
Is and IS years, and Immediately
thereafter issued a proclamation fix
ing next Thursday, September 18th, as
the day when they shall enroll with the
local draft boards.
I'VE solemnly purpose a decisive
victory of arms" said the President,
"and deliberately to devote the larger
part of the military man power of the
nation to the accomplishment of that
purpose. Ii is the call TO duty
to which every true man in the coun-
try will respond with pride and with
the consciousness that in doing so he
plays his part in vindication of a great
cause at whose summons every true
heart offers in supreme service"
The hours Of registration will be from
7 a. m. TO 9 p. m, and all State and
local officials are called on TO make
immediate arrangements for main
tenance of registration places on that
day.
All men within the new ages, whether
must register, unless they are diplomat
ic or consular representatives of foreign
nations.
In case of illness on the registration
day, arrangements for tardy enrolment
may be made with local boards, and men
who expect 10 be absent from their
homes may register by mail, sufficient
ly in advance that the registration record
reaches the board by September -
If man has no permanent residence
he is TO register at the place he is on
September II, and those out Of the
country on that day are required to
enroll within five days after their
return.
About 100000 men will place
themselves subject 10 call for war serv-
ice under the new registration, il is es-
timated, although only those without
dependents, in good health and other
wise qualified for arduous duties OF
soldier life are TO be taken first.
Youths in their eighteenth year will
be placed in a separate group, the War
Department has announced, TO be sub
ject to special educational program,
and will not be called until the supply
of other available men in the new
classes is exhausted This does not
mean that their calling will be long
deferred, however, inasmuch as it has
been announced that all men in the
new registration accepted for general
service will be under arms by June 80,
1919. The man power bill makes no
specific provision for separate CLASH
fiCation for lS-year-old boys, and War
Department plans for their treatment
have been made on executive initiative.
1t is estimated that West Virginia
will enroll l67,753 men under the new
registration.
