the minimum 10 years, with the maxi
mum somewhere between 30 and 40.
The fact that he was converted to the
18-45 limit Is believed due in large part
to the attitude of Provost Marshal Gem
eral Crowder, who has strongly advo-
Gated making all men between 1S n
45 subject 10 some sort of service. II
the bill Is enacted as proposed. 1t will
empower Crowder to extend his work
or fight order to a much broader de-.
gree than at present.
Crowder recently told the senate
committee that If he were given such a
bill he would guarantee there would BIO
no further shortages Of labor Ia this
country.
Senator Chamberlain explained that
under the provisions OF the bin men
between Is and Il years old would be
divided into three classes subject to
call In such sequence Of years as pre-
scribed. The senator added that tho,
calling of men between the ages OF 81
and Is would be made by a similar
plan. He expressed he opinion. how
ever, that the younger men--those be-
tween Is and Fl years-wouId be called
first and that Il woald not be neces-
sary to call those between 81 and As.
Senator Chamberlain said he did not
know just what effect he work or fight

CrOwder would have under the new
Arrangement.

was no denying the offensive spirit

Had Prepared to Stay.
The Germans made every effort to
aold, not only by throwing in their
pest troops, but by making great prep
lrations for defense Of the forests Of
Nesles, Fere and other woods in that
region. Bic ammunition dumps were
captured there, the boches having no
opportunity to destroy them. The en-
envy also built extensive dugouts and
trench systems and stretched great
quantities Of barbed wire.
The Prussian guards and other di-
visions were cut to pieces by the fe-
rocity Of the American attack. Roads,
fields and woods r Uttered with
enemy dead.
American artillery destroyed great
numbers Of machine gun nests in the
woods. Those remaining continued to
tire until the doughboys rushed them.
Then would come a further uninter-
-upted advance until the next bunch
Of machine guns was encountered.
The Americans swung across the
fields in open lines, through woods and
along the roads in the highest spirits.
Some men who had become separated
from their w units n had been
fighting with others for two or three
days, sighted their own outfits on the
road and yelled, Well, so long, here's
Cur outfit" and joined up with their
own Nnit again. p
Meantime, ~unceasing rain poured
down on the boys who had been fight
ing constantly without rest and snatch
ing a bite to eat at irregular intervals.
They laughed it off.
Stray prisoners were picked up here
and there and were sent back to the
rear, along with captured machine
guns.

ILL WITH TYPHOID

San Juan, Porto Rico.-(by mail.)-
Major Edward w. Lee, of the Medical
Reserve Corps, who was one of the
physicians called to attend William
Mckinley when the president was SHOT
at Buffalo, a been seriously ill with
typhoid fever. He is attached to the
base hospital.
Major Lee came to Porto Rico about
three months ago with the first group
of reserve officers assigned to the hos
pital. A-ior to entering the resei We
corps he had been for years a surgeon
in New York city. The fac that he is
the only one OF the officers coming
from the Moth who has been attacked
by typhoid is regarded as interesting
from a medical viewpoint, for the
reason hat he was the only one of
these officers who did not, take the
typhoid "a cination. 1t has beer a
spopular theory among medical men
THAT for persons over As or so years Of
vaccination was not necessary, as
the likelihood Of their contracting the
disease was very slight. Major Lee is
"a. man Of perhaps 65 years.
