London, April 26.-According to

thing but a change in the wind pre-
vented the success of the operation

The difficulty under which the op-
erations were carried out may be
guaged from the fact that the enc
my batteries from Zebrugge to Os-
tend numbered fully 120 guns, able
to concentrate their fire during day
light on retiring ships to distance
of 16 miles. Hence the attempt was
only possible at night time and at

DRAFT TO GET THEM.
Senate Resolution With Amendment
For Lads to Foot List Adopted.

Washington, April 25.-The house
late today adopted the senate resolu-
tion for the registration for military
service of young men who have reach
ed the age of twenty-one years since
June 5 last. The measure now goes
to conference. An amendment offer
ed by Representative Hull, of Iowa,
and adopted 119 to eighty-one, pro-
vides that men registered under the
bill shall be placed at the bottom
of the class to which they may be
assigned
The house sustained the military
committee in striking out provision
of the bill as it passed the senate
which would exempt from registra-
ton those eligibles who have entered
medical or divinity schools since
June 5 last.
Representative Kahn of California
told the house the proposed new reg
istration would place from 100000
to 100000 registrants available for
military service. In that connection
he recalled that Germany recently
called into service it's class of 1919.
Chairman Dent, of the military
committee, opposed the amendment
of Mr.. Hull. He said he understood
it is the plan of the war department
to place the newly registered men at
the bottom of the respective classes
unless something unforeseen occurs
to prevent, but did not believe it
proper to tie the hands of the de-
partment by an amendment which
would require that action.

ALIVE AFTER ) DAYS ON FIELD.
Two Wounded Americans Discovered
in Dugout.

With American Army in France,
Thursday, April 25.-Two American
soldiers wounded in the engagement
around Seicheprey last Saturday,
were found alive today in a dugout
in No Mans Land The dugout had
been badly smashed by German shell
fire and how the men managed to
keep alive in the rain and mud and
under German bombardment is little
short of miraculous.
Another soldier, Raymond Demun-
sky, of New Haven, Conn.,, was bur-
led alive for three days when he
crawled to the surface Demunsky
was found by American Red Cross
stretcher bearers, who went into No
Mans Land this morning. The Ger
mans fired on the Red Cross flag, but
the stretcher bearers kept waving it
and the enemy fire stopped.
Americans Outnumbered.
The American troops in the Seich-
eprey fight, additional details show,
were outnumbered, in some instances,
eight to one. The latest advices are
that the American casualties are
much under the first estimate.
Edward Jacques, New Haven boy,
told the correspondent he was one of
a hundred and fifty Americans who at
one time were almost surrounded and
captured when French troops came to
their assistance.
Sergt. John A. Dickman, formerly a
printer of Somerville, Mass, and who
is now wounded in hospital, told an
interesting story. He and his men
were in charge of two Stokes guns,
They were isolated for twelve minutes
in an enemy barrage and were un-
able to signal the American lines.
Dickman was wounded but kept pour
ing a hot fire into the German attack
ing waves and broke up the forma-
ton. He and his men returned only
when their guns became jammed.
Machine Cum Parker who mann
ed gun by himself, was asked by
his superior officer at one stage of the
engagement whether he could hold
the line. He replied that he could,
unless killed, and he did.

a sinking condition as she lay there,
she signalled invaluable directions

Sneyed, accordingly, blew charges and

loss was five killed and five wounded.

Newton, Mass, regimental chap
lain, proved such good fighter that
high officer offered him commits
sion in his command. Father Far
rell went to the assistance OF a bat
terry when four of the American gun
ners were killed, carried up ammuni-
tion and helped the crew to keep the
gun working. He was wounded slight
ly.
Raymond Connor, of New Haven, a
sanitary squad runner, was another
hero. He was one of eight men cap
tured by the Germans, who escaped
and went to Seicheprey. They took
charge of the first aid station there
until a doctor arrived. Connor then
went to the rear and organized new
squad, returned to the front and was
wounded.
