AIRCRAFT HARASS AMERICAN LINES
German Airmen Try to Take
Toll on Picardy Front
At Night.
ROADS AND VILLAGES
AT REAR ARE BOMBED
American Soldiers and
Nurses Giving Aid To
Those Injured.

With the American Army in
France, Wednesday, May 22-
(By (. the Associated Press
Enemy aircraft have been ex-
tremely active along the Amer
lean front in Picardy since the
advent Of the new moon. Vii
lagos and roads in the rear of
the American lines have been
bombed and some of the viii
lagos visited by the hostile avi-
ators present pitiful scenes of
destruction.
The military damage done has been
negligible, but a number of civilians
have been killed, most of them wom-
en- and children.
The American soldiers and nurses
in touch with the French population
in the areas that have received vista
tions are freely offering aid and com
of the American hospitals have not
been damaged is no fault of the
Germans, but is due to good fortune,
as the Germans are apparently drop
ping their bombs without any con-
sideration of military objectives.
The area under bombardment from
the air is that between the American
front and Paris, and nightly the air
over this district is humming with
enemy motors, while the American
and French anti-aircraft guns are
keeping up an almost continuous bar
rage.
A falling off in artillery firing on
the American sectors is reported in
the official statement issued at Amer
ican headquarters at 9 o'clock to-
night. The statement reads:
THE artillery activity has decreas-
ed. There are no new developments
to report.
There was great aerial activity
northwest of Toul today. American
aviators participated in more than
half a dozen combats but up to an
early hour tonight they had not been
able to bring down an enemy ma
chine.
One American aviator engaged
three different Boche machines, one
after another, within 20 minutes.
Two other American pilots fought
for half an hour with two German
machines at an altitude of $500 me-
tres but failed to get telling shots
home.

TAKEN OUT OFLOW
CLASSIFICATIONS
Bartenders, Ball Play
ers, and Gamblers Hit
by New Order.

Washington, May % - The
War Department is about to is
sue new draft regulations un-
der which all registered men
must engage in useful product
i've employment or enter the
army Immediately. All deferred
classification will be abolished
in the cases of men not so en-
gagged.
Gamblers, race track attendants and
fortune tellers will stand at the head
of the list, but many other employ
ments also will be declared non-pro-
ductive. Registrants must immedi-
ately accept employment other than
as walters, bartenders, elevator at
tendants, household servants, clerks
in stores, etc. Refusal to accept pro-
ductive employment will mean that
the man will be taken into the army
forthwith.
1t will make no difference whether
the man is at the head of Glass 1,
or in Glass 4.
A statement issued today says:
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announced today an amendment to
the selective regulations which deals
with the great question requiring men
not engaged in useful occupation to
Immediately apply themselves to
some form of labor contributing tC
the general good. The idler, too, will
find himself confronted with the al
tentative of finding suitable employ
ment or entering the army.
This regulation provides that after
July 1 any registrant who is found by
a local board to be a habitual idleI
or not engaged in some useful occu-
patton shall be summoned before the
board, given a chance to explain and
in the absence of a satisfactory ex'
PLANTATION, to be inducted into the
military service of the United States
ANY local board will be authorized
to take action whether it has origina
jurisdiction of the registrant or not

around a pool room in Chicago may b
held to answer to a Chicago boarC
even though he may have registered

IS
WORSE Than The
BULLET IN WAR
Defamation of Europe Not
Caused by German Guns
But By Hunger.

New York, May 23.-The greatest
human defamation in Europe has not
been wrought by German bullets but
by starvation and it's attendant dis
eases in the districts overrun by the
Germans, declared Food Administra-
tor Hoover in an address to the Ma
tiona1 Dairy league here today. Point
ing out that service which the dairy
men of the nation 'are morally draft
ed to fulfill he said he was con-
vinced that "if the war were to cease
tomorrow the toll of actual dead from
starvation and it's attendant diseases
would double or triple the 5,OO0,OOO or
100000 killed by Germany and her
allies.%
Calling on the dairymen to do their
part in maintaining the United States
as reservoir of food" Mr.. Hoover
said:
at is worse than folly to put 5000, 900
of our boys into France if the civilian
population of our allies is not also to
be maintained in strength and morale
with our food"
North America" he continued,
Stands unequalled in one great par
ticular. We are independent of sea
transport for feeding stuffs for our
animals. We grow them side by side.
This is one reason why we can and
must be the great final reservoir of
supplies"
In order that people Of the Allied
powers, whose dairy herds have been
diminished by lack of feeding stuffs
and other exigencies of war, may be
provided even with slender milk
and fat ration by the United States,
Mr.. Hoover explained, it would be
necessary for the dairymen of this
country not only to maintain the
herds, but to build up stocks in ware
houses in seasons of surplus produc-
ton. He said dairy products in stor-
age at present were not a cause for
alarm and legislation, but should be
a. source of satisfaction.
