Warn District Registrants.

In preparation for "class 1 week"
probably the last week in June.
draft officials today warned all regis
trants of the District of their duty
under the selective service regula-
tions to advise their boards of any
change in status such as might modi-
fy their classifications one way or the
other.
This duty devolves upon the regis
trant, and II he fails to fulfill it he
puts himself liable to severe penalty
under the law.
Local board members feel that in
many cases registrants are slack in
this regard. For instance, II q man
was put in class on account of a de-
pendent wife, II the wife has since ac-
cepted a position that registrant's
status has changed materially. and 1t
is up to him to report the change.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARM MY March 15.-Americans in the Lune. vile sector are holding the enemy trenches northeast of Bandonvillers which they forced the Germans to abandon through raids and concen. trated artillery fire.
 The German trenches have been consolidated with the American trenches, with communicating al leyways between.
 This marks the first permanent advance on the part of the Ameri. can troops. The consolidation en- ahles the French and Americans to operate their batteries from higher ground than. heretofore.
 The Germans have made but feeble attempts to retake the posi- tions, in the face of the accurate fire for which the American gun ners are becoming noted, and which always is quick to respond to the least activity on the part of the enemy. ,

WHEAT SUBJECT TO SEIZURE.
Even Farmers Who Wilfully Hold
Back Grain Are Affected.

Washington, March 27. - State
food administrators will be encour-
aged by the food administration to
requisition summarily any stocks of
wheat actually being boarded. A
general order to this effect has not
yet been promulgated, but State ad-
ministrators have been advised that
they have authority to act.
Although farmers specifically are
exempted from the operation Of the
boarding provisions of the food act,
another section empowers the Presi-
dent to requisition food for any pub
lie use connected with the common
defense. This section Is construed
to obtain in the case of any farmer
wilfully holding back grain supplies
in the national emergency.
The food administrations plans
will not affect directly the common
practice OF retaining food stocks for
brief time in expectation of a rise
in the market.

TRUTH IN SHORT
SENTENCES.

The following pertinent para
graphs are taken from the Green
Vile News report Of the speech
OF VIM. Mather Lewis at Green &.
vile last Thursday. They are
worth reading and pondering
over.
"There Is German army in
the United States. 1t is compos-
ed of the lying scoundrels who
are seeking to create in the
minds Of the American people
dissatisfaction with England
and France, especially England.
ANY person in the United
States who says that he Is pro-
American, but anti-English or
anti-French is a pro-German and
your enemy.
Germany is trying to divide
the American people, trying to
drive wedge between tAem,
just as the German army is seek
ing to drive wedge through
the allied armies.
The pro-Germans have lied
about the food of soldiers, have
spread the rumor that there is
waste of food at the camps.
These are all damnable lies.
"These pro-Germans under the
protection Of the American flag
are sneaking hounds who are bit
ing the hands that feed them.
"To win the war, you must
stand these hounds up against
the wall and shoot them.
81 am for law and order, but
l thank God that out in Oklaho-
ma there were mon who had
enough courage to tar and foa-
ther sneaking pro-German
hounds and run them out Of the
country. hope the day will
soon come when you here will
make It so hot for ro-Germans
that they'll nave to get out
quick"
