American Envoy at Paris Visits Church ShclIcd by Germans Another American Woman Miss 1ng-Gun Active Again

Washington, April 3.--The German bombardment of Paris by long range guns will only serve to strengthen the resolve of the French to resist to the last man, if necessary, the TeutoniC invasion, according to report re- ceived at the State Departme today. from Ambassador Sharp at Paris. He had just completed a visit to the church in which shells from the big gun killed nearly 100 WorshipDers on Good Friday. The tragedy. he said, has aroused the indignation of Paris toward "an enemy who seeks to de- stroy human life without regard to the immunities prescribed by laws of civilization and humanity"
 Miss Emma Mullen. 3 member of the American colony, has been missing since Good Friday, when the Ger mans bombed a church here. should she prove to be among the dead, the number of Americans killed by the shell will have been increased to five.

100000.
 Washington, April 3.-Measures to speed up the draft program are in contempl lation and an official an- nouncement is expected soon.
 The intention is to meet the emer- gency in France. For that reason the 800,000 to be called this year will be called rapidly, more so than was previously planned.
 The war department officials said there were no arrangements in sight looking to calling out more men than it was originally planned to take into the service.
 Reports that the draft would be raised from S00,000 to 1,500,0O0 were denied.
 Officials do not regard 1t as ~possi- b1e that more men will be sent abroad this year than the depart ment has arranged to summon, even with additional British shipping made available as transports. There are now under arms here and in Flu rope more than 100000 Americans soldiers. The number will have been raised to about 2,500,000 by the end of the year, counting drafted men and special technical forces to be enlisted.

"The colossal struggle in the west already has begun. Austro-Hungar- ian and German troops are fighting shoulder to shoulder as they fought in Russia, Serbia, Rumania and Italy.

We are not fighting for inn perialistic or annexationist aims for ourselves or for Germany"

 The foreign minister, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Chronicle, declared also that he had an earnest desire for peace and that his country wished to avoid any fur ther military offensive After referr- ing to his reply to Premier Clemen- ceau regarding Alsace-Lorraine he said Austria would insist on the status quo adding:
 ''The aspirations of France and Italy are Utopian which will be ter ribly avenged"
 Count Czernin declared he did not believe that President Wilson in his recent address really desired to cause a separation between Vienna and Berlin because the president knew that such a thing was impossible. The count added that President Wilson saw that Austria was more favorable toward peace than Germany.
 T do not intend to go begging fOl peace or to obtain it by entreaties and laments, but to enforce it by our moral right and physical strength Count Czernin declared. Any other tactics I consider will contribute tc the prolongation of the war"

New York, Sept. s.. National
league critics are wondering if the
moguls Of that circuit will have the
nerve. to overlook John Heydler
when they choose a president next
winter to succeed John K. Tener.
Heydler has been secretary, off1ci-
ally, OF the league for several wears.
AS a matter Of fact, though, he has
been the real head. John K. Tener.
never would have been chosen prssi-
dent while governor of Pennsylvania.
II the magnates hadn't known that
Heydler was capable of doing, and
would do, most of the work of run
ming the circuit
The presidency of the league has
not amounted to much in recent
years, at least. Four or five moguls
bossed the circuit and turned over
their ideas to Heydler to carry out.
Why he wasn't made president in
name as we'll as in fact when Tener
was elected has been a mystery.
The moguls will have. to show more
than their usual large amount of
nerve to keep John in his secretariaI
chair and select someone else to hold
the soft job of president.
AS someone has very apply re-
marked: Maybe John is too capable
for the Job.

EXEMPTIONS TO

THE new DRAFT.
District Boards May Ex-
ernpt Men in Certain Es-
sential Occupations
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 5.-Much broad-
er grounds for the establishment Of
claims for exemption from military
service are provided in new regula-
tons now being. worked out by
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
govern the classification of men be-
tween IS and As who will register on
Sept. IL.
y Important notifications are based
on the change of few words in the
original draft law made in passing
the new manpower act. The term
industrial occupation" Is eliminated
{ and the law now provides persons
may be given deferred classification
when engaged In Occupation or en-
ployment which can be established
SIS necessary to the military estimate
or the maintenance OF the national
interest"
This section, officials pointed out
today, with the regulations con-
STRUNG it, will definitely allow dis
trict exemption boards to exempt
bankers and essential bank en-
ployes, men engaged in necessary
commercial enterprise and necessary
workers for Red Cross and kindred
organizations. The regulations will
not attempt specifically to define the
status Of registrants who shall be
entitled to exemption but will al
low the boards to work out the de-
tails, after the authorization has been
given them. II was said that the
regulations would straighten out
completely a situation arising since
district boards in various localities
have ruled, under the old law. that
railroads and banks are not indus
tries and that an importer Of neces-
sary war materil and his staff are
not engaged in industry.

For the girl and woman who does
not care for fur, and there are such
people in the world, there are many
warm and luxuriant wool coats and
wraps which are elegant in their
simplicity and altogether perfect
without fur trimmings. Here is a
splendid model of bolivia cloth. The
huge collar and deep pockets give
plenty OF warmth without the addi-
ton OF some pelt. --ssr F."
The style of the wrap makes it
very attractive for motor wear. 1t
is as large and roomy as a cape and
will protect the daintiest dress with
out mussing It and at the same time
1t is snugger and warmer than an
ordinary cape because Of it's secure
fastening and because the large
sleeves help to keep it close about
one as we'll as to keep the arms
warmer.
Such utility wrap is to be highly
recommended in these war times If
one has decided to economic on
clothes this wrap will certainly help,
for 1t can be worn as a utility street
wrap or as an evening coat If one
travels about in a motor. This win
ter will see very few OF the old
gorgeous evening wraps with their
fur and chiffon trimmings IF any
are seen at all they will be some OF
the models of former seasons. AL
