It is rumored unofficially that Harry

Rowe is strongly considering the prop
osition of becoming candidate for CON
stable for the Salem district, to sue
ceed Constable Percy M. Varney. Mr..
Varney has announced that he will not
be a candidate for the office for an
other term, though he has not as yet
definitely announced just what office
he will try for at the coming primar-
les. Mr.. Rowe served two years as an
efficient officer on the city police force
under former Chief of Police Jack
Welch, and if he decides to enter the
race for constable he will doubtless
make strong opposition for other candi'
dates.

Whole Fleets Of American
 Tanks Take Part in Driue

London. September 13.-The Daily Mail correspondent at the American front sends the following description of the battle along the St. Mihiel sector:
 ''The First American army. under per- sonal command of General Pershing. for tte first time went into action today in the St. Mihiel salient. Never before has there been such q large concentration of American troops for one operation and never have the Americans been in such complete control sof their own operations
 'aThe event had long been anticipated. Some people assigned to it grandiose ob- jectives, but in reality the attack Is for limited objectives only
 At o'clock Thursday morning the artillery preparation began with a roar that could be heard many miles away and all night it rose and fell with ps- culiar fluctuations From all the roads that run parallel the flashes of innumer- able guns told of the impending assault. Toward 5 o'clock-the hour of the attack the firing became even more rapid and it's sullen tone mingled 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 out of their shelters to lead the attack. They numbered on, but the Germans offered lit- tie opposition. The American infantry followed in open order, blowing through the mud, but they were little troubled by the feeble enemy resistance.
 At one point near Secheprey, where the Americans had previously fought desperately with the Germans. machine gun and automatic fir. swept down upon the Yankees right flank. but the tanks and artillery quickly moved in that di- rection and the Americans went steadily forward.
 yAt7 o'clock the tanks had disappeared amid . smoke cloud oyer the ridge in front Of Selcheprey.

Washington, September 12. Thirteen million men, prob ably more, the force from which will come the reserves
 to win the war, were registered
 today ir the second great mobilization of the nation s man power
 As these men were moving in every city, town and ham let over the country to add their names to the roll of the Il, 100000 who had registered before, the nations g fighting army overseas was hurling it. self against the enemy in the first distinctly American of- fcnsive on the western front. E
 Demonstrations of patriotism every where. marked the registration. Long be- fore the appointed time for the regis trants to begin their work lines of citi- xcns were waiting to enroll. All day and until well into the night men passed through the registration places and Pro- yost Marshal General Crowder is confi- dent that when the returns are in they, will show that there were few who sought to eyade their duty.
 T.~ ali <1~ rf bo nrr the registration received during the day at the provost marshal generars office. there was no suggestion Of any disorder. And none had been expected, 6pr off cials had been confident that the deeds of the fighting men overseas had stirred the ration to the highest pitch of pa- trIotisn and determination.
 With registration day. now history. the neAt move cf the draft machinery will be in the numbering scrialiy of the registration cards. Until that work is ccn,pleted by the local boards the draw ing of the order numbers which will de- tcrniine in a measure the relative stand- ing of the regfstrants, cannot be held.

These will show the total number of mel, registered as well as the propor- tion of this number to the estimate in each district and may form the asts for activity by the department of justice in rounding up those who have avaded the law.
 In this connection. officials today again caltd the attention of re9istrants to the fact that the law requires that they carry their registration cards with them at sn times so that upon 'dsmand of an apthorised police official they can pro- luce.

The sun was streaming across the valley. casting shadows from the melancholy wrecks of villages all around. On the left was the black, forbidding height of Mont Sec with the tiny village of that name nest ling on it's black side Spurts of earth sprang from it's capacious sides as the American artillerymen battered at it.
