MORE CHANCE FOR EXEMPTIONS IN
 FfW DRAFT LAW
Will Not Take Men Needed in Industrial Life of
 Nation.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Broader pro- visions for exemption have been written into the new man power bill now before congress SO that the na- tion's war industrial fabric may not be upset by unduly large withdrawal of men over 32 years of age for mili- tary service.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder, appearing today before the senate military committee, explained that he had deemed it advisable to substi- tute the words Occupations and en- ployments" for the word industries" used in the existing law in the section affecting industrial exemptions. This would make possible more liberal interpretation of the law and pre- vent the induction into the army Of many men performing essential work at home and yet not actually in indus trial occupations.

Louis J. Malvy Guilty of Communicating With :.

Paris, Aug. 6.-Louts J. Malvy, for mer minister of the interior, was found guilty today of holding com- munication with the enemy and sem fenced to five years punishment.
 The sentence, however, does not carry civic degradation.
 Louis J. Malvy, Minister of the In- terior in the Viviani, Briand and Ribot cabinets, was considered one of the most astute political figures in France.
 It was in July, 1917, that his posi- tion was first assailed. At that time, M. Clemenceau, now French premier, charged that M. Malvy was spread ing "defeatist" propaganda among the troops, and that Malvy's resignation of his post as minister of the inter- for was announced early in. August.
 In November, 1917. M. Malvy intro duced in the chamber of deputies a pill demanding that he be tried before the high court, and the chamber ap- pointed a committee of B to examine into the merits of the case

Yankee Machine Gunners Play Havoc When Enemy Troops Mass for Attack on Group of U s. Bridge

With the American Army on the Aisne- Marne Front, Aug. 6 (By the Associated Press) American ma chine gunners, protecting location on the Vesle, west of Fishes, wiped out an entire battailon of German infantry men and machine gunners eo- day.
 The Germans, at this time, were getting into position to attack a group of American bridge builders who were approaching the location.
 With their back to the Aisne, the Germans continued preparations today for what may be either stiff resist ance to give them more time for fur ther withdrawal, or for definite stand
 Minor actions along the American portion of the front and in the adjoin- ing French sectors marked the day.
 The little force of men who were sent into Fismes still maintain their foothold, although they are not yet across the river which flows through the extreme north portion of the town.
 Under a heavy barrage all their wounded have bee9 taken out. and

during the night food was taken to them.
 Some bridge material already had been moved near the south bank of the Vesle and the Germans, apparent ly discovered this fact, had sent bat tallion to a hill position to prevent the Americans carrying out their plan.
 A detachment of crack American machine gunners, however, previously had taken an elevated position com manding the location and opened fire when the Germans approached. Ob- servers reported that they did not see a single German get away from the leaden hail.
 The Germans replied SO feebly with their fire, because of the surprise, that there were no American casual ties.
 The Germans have been unremitting in their efforts to dislodge the Amer jeans. pounding the town with shells and deluging it with gas.
 Numerous efforts have been made to retake the positions, but in every in- stance the accuracy of the American fire, both of the supporting artillery and the small arms of the infantry within it, drove iback~-the enemy.

Amsterdam, Aug. 6.-"Satans" is the pet name for American soldiers among the men in the German army, according to Lieutenant Ranke, who, as "officer-war correspondent" writes for German papers stories of individual deeds of bravery by Ger mans.
 In letter to the Dusseldorff Mach richten he tells of a skirmish between patrol of men from that city with an American patrol, who by their "impudent audacity" had been giving the Germans much trouble. Both par ties were hidden in shell craters, he says, and stalked each other for nineteen hours, with the result, ac- cording to the story, that three wounded American "Satans" were brought in. For their work their cap- tors received iron crosses.
