DRAFT BOARD D0INGS
TWO O0NTINdENTS LEFT THIS
!. WEEK FOR INDIANAPOIIS AND
STATE UNIVERSITY

Complaints are being made to the
State Department by diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of neutral countries in the
war in regards to citizens or subjects
OF those countries being involuntarily
inducted into the service of the United
States army. The local draft board re-
ceived an order on July IL, 1913, which
stated that citizens or subjects of all
neutral countries who have declared in
tentions to become citizens of the Unit
ed States are released from liability: to
military service on certain conditions as
prescribed by the president. This or
der seems to have been violated by
draft boards throughout the country and
Thursday the local board received q
notice requesting them to take special
care in calling men for the army and
to see as to whether or not they are
citizens to neutral countries. ,;
~
The president will soon issue pro-
clamation requiring all men, who have
reached the age of 21 years since the
9Th of last June, to register on Satur-
day, August "a, at the court room in
the local court house, between the
hours Of g. m. and p. m. This regis
tration should not be confused with the
larger registration which will take place
in September when all men between the
ages Of 18 and 21 and between the ages
Of 81 and including As will register.

Allies Driving Deep Wsdae.

Paris, Oct 16.-Marshal Foch in his
new stroke in Flanders is driving a
formidable wedge between the Ger
man bases Of Bruges and Client, In
Belgium, and Lille, in France.
The effective manner in which King
Albert carried out his attack Monday
has further widened the wedge, which
threatens to- split the German forces
In Two unless the enemy faflls back
speedily on a wide front.
The French capture of Roulers, the
important railway junction east of
Ypres, IS a serious loss TO the Ger
mans Although the Belgian railway
system is dense enough to provide al
ternaive routes to a certain extent,
the allied entrance into Roulers on the
first Gay of the offensive is bound tn
affect the German communication sys,
ten II Dst unfavorably.
The British navy and coast artillery
did excellent work in cooperating
with the advancing infantry. The
Germans did not leave Roulers with
out starting many fires
The enemy has begun blowing up
material which he could not remove
ard the torch is being applied to the
fowls that are being abandoned by
the Germans. There have been four
explosions near Reerst.

With the Allied Forces in Belgium,
Oct. 1G.-British, French and Belgian
troops in their offensive in Belgium
have captured more than 10000 pris-

guns.
Advanced allied troops have sig
nailed that they are from six to seven
miles inside the German positions.
The Belgian town of Thourout was
captured by the allies. Thourout is
an Important strategic position and a
vital transportation center. Upon it
hinged large part of the German
transportation system.
Heavy rains fell i'll Flanders during
the night tending to turn the battle
fields intO seas of mud. The low hang
ing clouds show no signs of clearing.
A continuation of the steady downpour
would undoubtedly result in slowing
up the battle.
General Plumer's troops pushing
forward have captured 1928 prisoners,
including 131 officers. They have
taken more than fifty guns and a har-
vest of mortars and machine guns.

Note Delayed by German Intrigue al
Last Arrives.
Washington, Oct. 16-Turkey's long
delayed note asking, like GeGrmany
and Austria. that President Wilson
take. finland the restoration of peace,
was SY6ceived at the state department.
The note, differing only slightly in
phraseOlogy from those Of the great
er central powers, was delivered by
the Spanish ambassador.
Its failure to appear last week,
copied with the knowledge that the
pro-German government at Constan-
tinople virtually had collapsed had
given rise to the belief it would not
come.
Instead, it was thought, the Turks
might make different sort of appeal,
probably offering unconditional sur
render.
The communication as it reached the
state department is unsigned. 1t was
transmitted as received from the
