Americans Find
Huns in Cellars
Go Oocr the Top Early in Eoen-
ing and Capture Entire
Village.
Thy Associated Press. ]

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON
THE MARINE FRONT, July I'm a
brilliant operation after hard lighting.
American troops on this front last
night captured the village of Vaux. to-
gcther with 4 large slice of the Paris
highway. west Of Chateau Thicrry. and
two patches OF wooded land.
The Americans took 275 German pri.-
oners. including five officers and cap
turcd quantity of machine guns and
other equipment.
IL the Naux region the Americans
took ;hc Germans completely by sur
prise. Most OF the prisoners were
taken out OF cellars and dusouts.
How many Germans were killed. of
course. IS unknown. but from the num-
Ae! OF dead in plain view at various
places the total must have been con-
siderable.
II was exactly o'clock last evening
when the Americans went over the top
under the protection OF hail OF ma
chine-sun bullets from mach!ne-Eun
oarrases. The infantry action was pre-
coded by short but terrific artillery
preparation. When tho Germans saw
that formidable attack was develop
ing, many OF those in outposts yelled
and ran toward the rear TO nests from
where u hot fire began pouring
The Americans paused for a moment,
while the automatic rifles and machine
guns with the advancing troops, fought
duel in front Of Vnux. briefly but eff
fectively, with the enemy. Then the
Am orleans, whose number was consid-
cradle, went on, most OF them running
in their eagerness to get at the close
on ~ Wit hn
same time. tho Boche began hurting
gas shells to the rear of the American
lines
Within brief time the Americans
had wrested from the enemy the Bo!s
de Ia Roche and the woods adjoining
1t. Then came word that the Americans
we're in Vaux and finally, after sharp
lighting there in the streets and houses.
they overcame all resistance and swept
on beyond the village
The Americans reached every one OF
their detectives and by this operation,
they have eliminated a salient and have
Strengthened out their line. Over an
area OF several miles the Americans
now have the enemy under their guns
Daylight this morning saw the Amer
leans digging in almost undisturbed
far beyond the old German defense
line To the rear patches OF prisoners
and piles OF material are going. The
number of prisoners has steadily
mounted until Il has reached 275 men.
Tho guns and material have not yet
been tabulated.
The fighting qualities OF the Amer
leans were certified 10 by virtually all
the prisoners taken. They said the
Americans fought Ike wild men,
sweeping everything before them as
they plunged over the ground
So fierce was the attack that many
Germans, who were in the zone as
saulted, made their escape by running
when the fight got too hot for them
and they saw IT was impossible to
slow down or halt the American
plunge.

WORK OR FIGHT ORDER
FOR MEN or DRAFT ACE
Declaring Measure Is Confused
With Antiloafer Bills.

Legislation Designed to Get Males to
Fill Various Positions, Thus Re-
leasing Physically Fit for Service
in the Army.
IRy Associated Press.

, WASlIlNGTON. July 2.--Comme nting
on the new work or fight regulations
which went into effect yesterday, Pro-
vost acknowledgement Crowder empha /.
sized to-day that the order does no.
affect men outside of draft ages. Sew
eral communities apparently have con-
fused it with anti-loafcr laws in some
States.
General Crowder explained that the
work or fight order is purely Il mill
tary step. and that regulations regard
ing employment or military service for
unregistered men are not embraced in
his functions The only effect the or
der has upon persons not subject to
draft is that it offers them more OPP
portunities Of employment. Places va
Gated by men liable to draft ncces-
sarily are left open for men outside
OF the draft, lie explained.
Of the service performed by men who
leave nonessential pursuits TO take up
essential work, General Crowder said:
The army and navy arc taking the
men who are best able physically to do
the fighting But that is only one part
OF the national task imposed By the
war. The other part, the part that
falls on the other men. is to set free
these men who are to do the fighting
Every man who helps to set free
fighting man Is helping 60 fight and
win the war.
SEEK DEFERRED CLASSES
For EFFECTIVE INDUSTRY
Now many of the men OF draft age
in deferred classes 2. and 4. deferred,
that is, on grounds OF dependency. are
not engaged in effective industry. The
spectacle is not satisfying one OF
contingent OF drafted men from class
l being marched down the street to
camp while other men of their own
age, watching them from the windows,
remain behind to sell cigarettes or dis
pense soda fountain drinks, solely be-
cause they have received deicrmcnt on
grounds OF dependency.
IF these men of the same age are
to stay behind. let them at least get
into work more effective TO help the
war. Their deferment takes them out
OF military service and yet serves no
economic war purpose whatsoever.
They are OF military age, and therefore
have the primary duty TO do war work
II their dependency gives them defer
mcnt from imme diate military war
work. let them at least do something
econ omically useful to maintain the
nations welfare while at war.
They should get into some useful
aud effective occupations or else forfeit
their defermcnt from military service
The alternative is Il fair one"
