Since men between 19 and Sc arc L.

drawing will have less effect upon de-
termining the order of the call than did
that for the nearly one million men

Order numbers for all the 100000

classified until the boards have given
classification to all the men between
10 and 36 who are the first to re-
ceive their missionaries.
In the meantime many of the 10 to
96 classes will have been indicted into
service.
REPORTS received today by provost
Marshal General CroWdcr from neagiy
all states indicated that satisfactory
progress is being made by local boarus
in attaching serial numbers to the reg

made necessary the REMEMBERING OF

Jurisdiction No date for the drawing
can be fixed until this work is com
pleted and the serial numbers posted
and while this may be done this week,
it is understood that General Crow

THE GREATEST UNEASsNESS
ON THE PART OF
THE ENEMY

With the American Forces on the
Lorraine, Sept. 24,-The Germans i'll
the past "a hours have increased the
intensity of their heavy gun fire on
the American front which seemingly
denotes the greatest uneasiness on the
part of the enemy Otherwise the
German activity has been confined to
raids and patrciling.
Although there appeared to be no
immediate purpose for the vague fire
of the German artillery which did no
damage, the enemy spent the entire
night in bomOarding the back areas
southwest Of Kammes and kept up a
bombardment both north and south Of
Pont -a-Mousson for hours at d
stretch
The German fire was little more
intense but no more effective than it
had been since the Germans retired as
the result Of the American offensive
in the region of St NIihiel.
The German artillery fire seemed ii
rected aimlessly and purposelessiy,
for the enemy similarly shelled yio-
lently the fields and woods to the
east Of Benoit, doing no more damage
than at the other points.
Very unfayorabe weather continued
10 hold the infantry and ayiators on
both sides were fairly inactive, the
enemy venturing from his trenches on
ly rarely and few of his flyers were
seen The Americans carried out q
successful raid south of Nilecy, after
violent artillery preparation whicr
netted five prisoners and patrollinl
expeditions at various points on the
line.
