CLASS | TO Be
TAKEN By JULY

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The draftns
OF 2i70,0o0 men for military service
by July / which was outlined Friday
by Secretary Baker before the House
Committee on Military Affairs. will eX-
hause the registrants in Glass 4. accord
ing 10 figures supplied by the office
OF he Provost Marshal General. and
prolNbly make heavy inroads on other
classes. too.
While the number Of men registered
in classes and have not been made
public by Gen. Crowder. II is believed
that a considerable number of the
army which Secretary Baker has out
lined 10 the House Committee will
eventually be drawn from these groups
The call for these men will be issued
only when all Of the remaining 1000
600 men IN Glass have been called for
service, and either sent 90 training
camps or exempted for reasons spec
ined in the draft law.
Approximately 100000 names remain
subject 10 call in Glass 4 besides the
100000 already in service. The pas
sase Of the bill pending before Congress
for registration OF men who have reach
ed p years since last June is expected TO
furnish about 100000 additional men for
this class.
The physical examination Of the men
called in the FIRST $4,000 showed % A
per cent. nnnt physically for service,
according 10 the report Of Provost Mar
shal General Crowder TO Secretary
Baker.
The opinion exists in the War once
that about the same number Of men not
ftted physically for service will be
found among the remaining 100000
registrants.
General Crowder's report shows fur
ther that s.iS per cent. Of the men called
last fall failed TO respond Some lad al
ready volunteered for service in The
army or navy. others had died, and stlll
others had changed addresses without
notifying the local draft boards.
Many Of the men in the FIRST class are
employed In shiphuilding yards, muni-
tion plants and on railroads which may
make exemption feasible from q military
standpoint Others in farming districts
are badly needed In agricultural work

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE. May 5.-For six days the
Germans have been blocked in Flan-
ders. For 35 days they have been held
in check at Amiens What is their
next move and where?
Enemy prisoners are betraying symp-
toms OF apathy. Captured letters in
tende1 for the German people al home
add to this impression. The boches
certainly are less cocksure than at the
start Of their offensive and apparently
are suffering from a NJ OF Teutonic
blues which is typical when anything
goes wrong
The German troops write despond-
entity Of the still distant peace which
they had been lead to believe was near.
The whole tone OF the prisoners
plants is that the troops have again
been mlslead and instead Ct peace,
there will be more static warfare.
Although they are down in the mouth
they will continue to do Hindcnburg's
bidding certainly for sometime to
come Further extremely heavy fght-
ing is possible at any time.
Today I saw long columns Of Tom
mics and Poilus. Elsewhere OBJ
served Americans, each Of thei.' faces
stamped with a uiious expression o.
mixed cheeriness and grimness that
spoke volumes
Anticipatory Of the next fighting both
the French and British are optimistic.
They whistle, sing and exchange banter
as they move into the line, swapping
Jokes with tho comrades coming out.
All know the heavy nip and tuck bat
ties that arc yet in store for them, but
they are sercnely confident OF the out
