REVIEW OF CASES
OF RAIL WORKERS
IN DRAFT ASKED

Washington, Sept. 9.-Draft
boards have been asked by Pro
vost Marshal General CrOwder to
reopen all cases where skilled
railroad employees have been placed
in class l and to determine anew
whether the men concerned are en-
titled to exemption from military
service.
No change in the regulations
have been made, but it is said that
the reviewing action of the board,
taken in the light Of industrial de-
veIOpments will result in the eX
emption Of a larger number of rail-
road men and present some relief
from a situation which has led to a
protest to President Wilson by Di-
rector General MCAdO0.
The review is asked to cover all
skilled railroad employees, without
regard to the branch of the service.
Men in railroad service between Is
and As years Of age, who register
Thursday will be held for service
or exempted under the new regu-
IatiOns in reference to OCCupatiOnal
exemption. the application of which
is expected TO be more liberal. The
present order only applies to those
within the old draft ages who are
not in service.

Sec. Baker and
Party Safely
Reach France

Washington, Sept. 9.-Secretary
OF War Newton d. Baker has arriv-
I'd safely in France, the war depart
ment announced today. He was ac-
companied by party of war de-
partment officials
The secretarys' trip, the second
he has made To Europe this year,
was made aboard transport which
carried the usual quota of United
States troops.
The official announcement fol-
lows:
THE secretary of war has ar
rived in France on official business.
News OF the safe arrival of Mr..
Baker and an official party was re-
ceived at the war department yes
terday.
The voyage was made aboard a
transport which carried the usual
quota of United States troops. The
secretary was accompanied by John
d. Ryan, second assistant secretary
of war tdirector of aeronautics) !;
Major General W. c. Gorgas, surg
con general of the army; Brigadier
General Frank T. Hines, chief of the
embarkation service, and Lieuten-
ant Colonel George H. Baird, mill
| Lary aid to the secretary of war"
Before Secretary Baker left for
| Europe he stated informally that
when the personnel of his party
| became known the importance of
the trip would be disclosed as if
automatically The object is accel-
GRAFTON and high-power expansion
in war munitions and men.
| 1t was known that Edward r.
| Stettinius, former second assistant
| secretary of war, and recently re
! lieyed of those duties in order to
devote his entire time to army work
/ in France, had preceded the secre-
/ tary abroad.
| Mr.. Stettinius is vested with ex-
traordinary powers over supplies
| an general service behind the lines.
| One of the most important mem
/ bers of the secretary's party clearly
/ is John d. Ryan, who only recently
was given almost unlimited author
/ ity over both aircraft production
and the practical application of air
I planes in war time
! The supply of aircraft for the
| present million and half of PERISH
/ ing's army and its future four mil
| lion is the greatest problem in the
way of supply that confrOnts the
/ war department
| The presence Of General Hines is
almost self-explanatory, There
1 have been from time to time reports
that there was unnecessary con-
/ gestion at English and French
| docks. II is understood here to-
/ day that if it be possible General
| Hines will suggest some means
whereby, when the United States
| begins to send overseas the finished
/ rOduct of the new draft the record
| of 2S5,000 men a month to France
| will be broken.
= The war department, in fact, is
committed to a policy of having on
the western front so divisions by
July l, 1919. The work of General
! Hines will deal with that demand
J of the general staff as a problem
that must be met
Similarly the visit of General
| GOTgas has to do with the vast in
crease of the army in the near fu-
ture and the consequently neces-
sary increase in the hospital facili-
ties. 1t is likely that General Cor
gas will select sites for new hOspi-
tai buildings rather than advise en-
largement of the existing facilities
by multiplication Of beds in any one
institution.

FOE To MAKE
STANDT0END
FOCH'S DRIVE
Ludendorff Is Trying to
Brace German Line to
Stop Allied Advance.

London, Sept S.-The state
ment in the German COM
munique that 1--WE are every
where in our new positions" is
interpreted here as implying
that General LudendOrff is of
the belief that the German re-
tirement is now ended and that
it is his intention to try and
make a stand on the present
line.
1t is reported from Paris
that the German artillery today
was laundering along the whole
battle front as it has not done
for several weeks and other ac-
tiYity confirms General Luden-
dorff's supposed intention.
