German Writer AssaiIs Public for
Lack of Confidence.
Amsterdam, Aug. 5.-Count Revent-
low, writing in the Tages Zeitung of
Berlin on the anniversary of the fourth
year Of the war, says:
"The beginning of the fifth year Of
the war is marked in a large part of
the German press by reflections which
are overlooking with resignation, mel
ancholy and whining."
The writer continues:
"The fearful defeatism which runs
through the German public life these
days, has a perniciously damning
effect, and, more so, because with some
people the underlying view may be
perceived or is extremely stated by
them that If one would end the war it
would, after all be an easy thing to
do, as one need only join Grey and
Wilson in the league of nations"

Making Men From 10 to

TO CALL YOUTHS LAST
Secretary OF War Asserte Department
Has In Mind Simply to Secure q
Large Enough Army: to Con-
quer Gsrmany.s .

Washington, Aug. SIN discussing
the war departments recommends
lions to Congress of draft ages from
18 to IS years, Secretary Baker said
there was no intention of calling to
the colors youths between 18 and 10
until the other classes have become
exhausted.
This policy was decided on, he said,
in order to give the youths an op-
portunity to mature before they join
the army.
After formally announcing the new
draft ages, Secretary Baker said all
the possible combinations of age limits
were carefully studied and it was
found that to get the men into class
for the program proposed, 10 to As
was necessary.
To Hold Young Men.
He said, however, that the bill as
read to Congress, will contain a pro.
vision authorizing the president to
call men out of class by classes &C
| cording to age, SO that If It is found
possible the men between 10 and 19
will be called out later than the older
men found eligible to class 1.
The War department program, the
war secretary said, is purely mill
tary one and cannot be called a con
scription of labor, although it natur'
ally will have the effect of putting
ct useful labor or in the army all
able-bodied men within the age limit
as they finally will be fixed by Con
gress.
In recommending this extension OF
the age limits, Mr.. Baker continued
the department had it in mind simply
to get for the army the number OF
men believed necessary to defeat Ger.
many.
Mr.. Baker gave it as his opinion
that so far, about 100000 had been
drafted out of class 1 from the ex
listing list.

BEGUN BY ALLIES
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria Re-
treats Before British and
French.
KEEPING UP PRESSURE
Entente Armies Force Germans Across
Avre River Southeast Of Amiens
and Also Compel Retreat In
tho Region Of Albert.

London, Aug. 5.-Eyes are being
turned to the regions in the north
west on both sides of Amiens, now
that the Germans have been thorough.
ly vanquished thus far on the Sois-
sons-Rheims salient.
Here the French and British are
keeping up their hard pressure against
the armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht
OF Bavaria and have forced them on
two highly important sectors to re-.
treat.
Southeast of Amiens on the old
Montdidier sector the Germans have
fallen back across the Avre river over
a wide front, while northeast of
Amiens, in the region Of Albert q
similar retrOgrade movement has been
made across the Ancre.
Germans Face Greater Retreat.
The German official communication,
In admitting the withdrawal near
Albert, declares the maneuver was
carried out without interference by
the British.
Just what bearing these new Of
fensives will have on the fighting front
to which the Germans ultimately re-
treat for a stand in the Aisne region
cannot yet be forecast, but should the
Allied troops be able to press back the
line for any material gains eastward
1t Is not improbable that it would dis
locate the entire German line in the
south.
Enemy Retires on 10-Mile Front.
The retirement Of the Germans be-
tween Montdidier and Moreuil is over
a front of approximately 10 miles. On
the southern half of this front, Ameri-
can contingents have been stationed
for some time. Along the northern
half of the line the French, on two
occasions, have driven into the Ger
man lines so that their front before
the present German withdrawal began
ran along the hills dominating the
Avre river from Castel to Aubvillers.
This withdrawal, taken in conjunc-
ton with the German retirement
across the Ancre, from Dernancourt
to Kamel, about IA miles to the north,
may mark the beginning of German
strategic retreat" which may have
been planned to forestall a British at
