Junior Red Cross
Is Fully Organized

Ashland has gone over the top
nicely in its Junior Red Cross cam
paiSs The school committee, con-
sisting of the superintendent OF
schools, Mrs. F. S Engle, Mrs. F. H.
Walker, Miss Ila Meyers and Mayor
Lamkin. has made application for
each school to be an auxiliary to the
Senior Red Cross branch in Ashland.
In a few days the certificates will
arrive and a fitting banner will he
presented to each school.
The splendid results attained in
the Red Cross drive are no more graf
flying than the zest with which the
pupils enter into the real activities OF
the Junior Red Cross. In the Senior
high school hospital supplies are be-
ing made by the regular sewing class
es and by classes which meet at the
high school on Tuesday and Thurs
day nights of each week. These
classes are under the direction and
help of the Senior high school COM
mittee consisting of Irene Ringheim,
Ruth Lane, Victoria Taverner and
Mrs. Briscoe. The children of the
Junior high school are working on
layettes for Belgian and French chill
dren.
It is, however, almost amusing to
see the children of the grade schools /
enter with such earnestness upon
their work. They are making gun
rags, gun wipes, wash cloths and 9TH
er articles. Many Of the boys have
learned to knit in such a short time
That those teaching them have been
greatly surprised, Soon these small
er folks will be able to undertake
some advanced projects.
Along with this Red Cross work
or the fighting forces is taken up
he making of clothing for Belgian
md French refugees. While large
OF of material has been brought to
lie buildings, each auxiliary is in {
iced of such wooden garments as can
De spared from any Of our homes. t
'ersons having old garments or new '
Material about their homes should at l
nee get in touch with the school T
ommittee of each auxiliary The t
Material is needed and can be of a Il
cry large service to those who are b

Yankees Enter German Lines and
Seize Equipment For Gas Attack

The American forces northwest of
Toul carried out an important raid
on the German lines Monday night.
The artillery preparation lasted 45
minutes and the Americans entered
the German defenses as far as the
second line. They found number of
German dead from shell fire and
some of those who were retreating
were shot down.
The American pioneers accompany
ing the infantry blew up enemy dug
outs. No prisoners were taken, chief
ly because of the fact that the Ger
mans did not remain to fight, but ran
precipitately at the approach of the
Americans. All the Americans re-
turned to their own lines and consid-
cradle information was secured. The
American artillery obliterated a Ger
man position in which 200 gas pro-
jectors had been set up ready for \
gas attack The projectors were dis
covered in a photograph taken from
high in the air.
As soon as they were definitely To-
Gated there was a great concentration
of artillery fire, and the projectors
and the position were destroyed
In the last gas attack on Germans
only 10 projectors were used. The
new attack, therefore, had been
planned on a much more extensive
scale.

Second Draft to
Call 100000 Men

The first official announcement OF
the time of the second draft was is
sued by Provost Marshal-General
Crowder Tuesday, and will be or
dered as soon as congress amends the
law to compute the basis of appor-
tionment among the states on the
number of registrants in class l in
stead of population. For purpose of
computation, 100000 will be consid-
cred as composing the second draft.
although no such number will be
called to the colors at any one time.
While General Crowder sets no time
in his statement, 1t has been stated
that supplies for the men of the sec
ond draft would become available in
April, and as action on the desired
legislation is expected before that
time, the first calls are expected soor
afterwards.
"The next national quota will be
announced and apportioned among
the several states as soon as pending
legislation authorizing a change in
the basis of computation is enacted
by congress" says the provost mar
shal-general's statement.
THE number that will be assumed
as a basis for computation will be
100000. which is well within the au-
thorization of clause 4 of section l
Of the selective service act of a sec
ond increment of 100000 men, in
creased by the recruit training units
authorized by clause of said section
and by the special and technical
troops authorized by section 2 of said
act. 1t can not now be announced
what the total number to be called
to the colors each month will be, but
it may be stated that no more men
will be called than can be properly
accommodated and promptly assimi-
lated.
There are difficulties confronting
tie nation in the supply of labor ap-
purtenant to agriculture. Class /
from which new levies are to he
Withdrawn, VIII contain many more
men than are at present required for
the army. IL would be most unset
entific and fatuous step if the men
IN class / we're called indiscriminate-
ly without regard to the labor situa-
tion in agriculture. Therefore, the
local boards viii be directed to FIJI
their quotas in the order of liability
of men in class / as determined by
the national drawing, except that,
when il is shown that a registrant is
completely and assiduously engaged
in the planting, cultivation or reap
ing of a crop, his call to the colors
shall be deferred to the foot of the
quota of his board as long as he con-
tinues to be so engaged.
Whenever any registrant whose
call to the colors has been deferred
by reason of his engagement in agri-
culture, is shown to have been idle
on the farm on which he is engaged
or to have trifled with the deferment
that has been accorded him, the
boards will forthwith induct him into
service, If his order number
has been reached in the meantime.
The effect of this expedient is TO
grant furloughs from service prior to
actual cal' to the colors to the men
so greatly needed in the production
Of this years crop.
This is not, however, the only ex-
pedient that is to be adopted to con-
serve the supply of labor appurte-
lant to agriculture and to mobilize
all means for increasing the harvest
FOR the agricultural season of 191S.'

The air raid on Naples early on
Monday was carried out by dirigi-
BILE balloon which was flying at such
an altitude that it was impossible to
aim bombs at military objectives, but
dropped explosives at random over
the city. The dirigible remained only
& few minutes over Naples and the
victims were all civilians. The ma
terial damage was limited to private
houses, asylums and churches. Six
teen people were killed and forty
wounded.
Among the places where bombs
were dropped were along Via Roma
and Corso Vittorio Emanuele and at
the asylum of the Little Sisters of the
Foor, where seven were killed and
