SUIT IN CIRCUIT COURT
lCOntinued from page onel

ton, seemed to have some doubts as to
his age and to be on the safe side, reg
istered in Marion county under the jur-
isdiction Of division No. !.
Later, desiring to 60 into the serv-
ice, he enlisted in the aviation section
ard now holds responsible position
with the government at Redwood, Cal.
However, when it become evident that
the new draft law would be passed and
men between the ages of 18 and 81
and 81 and 45 be obliged to register,
Wolfard faced the prospects of another
registration and a possible transfer in
service.
IN petition filed this week before
the circluit court it is alleged that VOL
fard is now with the aviation service in
California and that mistake was made
when he registered with the govern
ment June 5, 1917 under the impression
that he was under 81 years Of age. The
petition states that he is holding an
important position with the government
and that it is for the best interest Of
both the government and Wolfard that
he remain where he is now employed.
Also, asking the court to officially es-
tablish his age in order that the mis-
take in registering might be rectified.
After hearing the testimony Of John
NJ. Wolfard, father Of Louis J. Wolfard,
iof his sister, Mrs. Donna W. AldriGh,
another sister, Mrs. Ada Van Valken-
burg and Julia Hunter, neighbor and
the introduction of family records,
Judge Bingham issued a decree to the
effect thai Louis J. Wolfard was born
May 6, 1885, Hence at the time he reg
isicrsd he was 80 years, one month and
t1g days old.
According to the usual procedure in
such rases, the local exemption board
and the adiutant general win release
hiGa from his registration upon the evi-
lcnee produced before the circuit court
and also upon the court having official
| ly establish. d lis age.
However, had he been called into the
service upon his registration, it is prob
able that he could not have secured his
release. This question came up in Mon

took part in the fight that drove the
boches across the Vesle. They ran in
to many machine guns being fired by
men with the Red Cross on their arms,
they said. One lieutenant came in
with the knees clean out of his pants,
where machine gun bullets had nipped
him. There was scarcely man but
had bullet hole through his clothes
somewhere. Many had lost puttees and
coats, and fought virtually bare armed
and bare legged.
Father Dunnigan of Laper Mich,
said he buried one boy with three dead
boches about him. The boys rifle was
covered with blood. Apparently he
had fought a bayonet battle against
many Germans and had accounted for
three of them before he had fallen him

GERMAN LINE WEAK.
BY Lowell Mellett,

Capital journal Special Service.)
With the French Armies in the
Field, Aug. S.-(Night)-One thing
apparently revealed by the German lack
of. resistance at some points on the
Albert Montdidier front today was the
degree with which the enemy line was
stripped to furnish men for the disas-
trous Marne campaign.
The part played by the French in
today's battle was comparatively small,
merely sustaining the right wing Of
the British advance. They actually
started on front of only four kilo-
meters (two and half miles) but later
this was widened
At the beginning Of the attack the
French line was between Bourges and
point west of Morizel, south of the
Amiens- Roye road. With the widen
ing of the line, it included the whole
of the Avre river as far as Hargicourt
(four miles north of Montdidier.)
Three hours after the French infantry
dashed forward it was holding the wood
northeast of Moreuil and the town OF
Morizel. In the latter place stiff re-
sistance was encountered neeessitating
a flanking movement from the north
west. -Four hundred prisoners were
taken there and many boches killed
The Ayre was crossed between Bra
ches and Castel Ga front of about foul
miles, the infantry wading, swimming
and utilizing the. new bridges. Be
cause of the steep bank opposite, as well
as the sloping ground beyond, this was
difficult feat under German fire, but
the poilus accomplished it and threw
