in preparation for later army service,
and at the same time attend specially
arranged technical or vocational
schools is planned by the government
as means of dealing with the grow
ing shortage of labor without draw
ing them from their schooling.
The corps will develop through ex-
tension of the U. S. Working Reserve,
which already has enrolled 100000
youths between the ages of 16 and
81, engaged mainly this summer in
farm work. Many of these boys will
go back to school this fall but large
proportion. together with others to
be enrolled will be directed into in
dustrial work to fell up the vacancies
left by men now being drafted for the
army. These boys are to be organ
lied as units in each company, serving
under an adult training officer, taking
courses of study in night schools. or
by some other systematic program.
living either at home or in camps and
wearing the uniform of the reserve
corps, which will be of gray cloth with
roll collar jacket.
Another feature of the program for
drawing on the great reservoir OF
youth labor, involves the postponing
of the opening date of the school
courses to about October Is, far the
boys now at work on the farms
throughout the country. This will ap-
ply only to those boys and not to all
pupils. Definite plans are now being
worked out through the federal bu-
reau OF education.
Regular Army Training.
Regular army officers may be as
signed to train units of the working
reserve, to direct the establishment
of special courses which will prepare
the youths for technical services in
the army when they reach the draft
age.
Without this plan for an industrial
army of youths, hundreds of thousands
of boys would quit school this fall and
winter, according to w. E. Hall, di-
rector of the Boys Working Reserve,
to take jobs as helpers in industrial
plants, and their education, which is
considered vitality essential to success
later as soldiers and in civilian life,
would be curtailed. 1t was to remedy
this prospective situation. examples of

Rainscourt, the fartherst point east
claimed by Field Marshal Haig, is five
miles east Of a line drawn north and
south through Montdidier. Only one
supply train remains for the Germans
in the Montdidier salient, and this is
under the cross fire of the allied guns.
Expect Further Withdrawal.
Apparently the Germans have made
little effort at prolonged defense in
the center and Berlin makes no claim
that they have. How effective was the
first allied smash Thursday is shown
by the German report Of the fighting
that day which says the allies reached
the artillery lines.
Allied capitols look for further with
drawal in other parts of the line as a
result Of the thrust in Picardy, and
continuation of the retirement in
Flanders which possibly may wipe
out the salient there. Opinion in
Washington is that Marshal Foch has
challenged the German command to
fight it out or retire. 1t is believed
that the enemy must send in all avail
able reserves or admit defeat and with
draw to the lines he held on March
81, or still further.
The allied advance IN Plcardy mas
had no apparent effect on the German
positions between the Vesle and the
Aisne The enemy still cling to the
hills north of the Aisne and has made
attacks north of Rheims which were
repulsed Across the Vesle from Fis-
mes the Americans have occupied Fis-
mes and added still another bridge
head to the position north of the river,
which is being enlarged rapidly. Pres
sure on the remaider of the sector
continues.
British and French diplomatic
agents are reported to have been ar
rested in Moscow by the Bolsheviki
and Great Britain has demanded the
release of R. H. B. Lockhardt, the lead
er of the British contingent. Premier
Lenine'is reported unofficially to have
sent an ultimatum to Japan regarding
Siberia.

RECAST|NC OF
DRAFT RULING
IS CONSIDERED
Government, Instead of Reg
istrant, to Make Exemption
Claim.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1o.-New
draft regulations, under which the
government would do the selecting
rather than leaving it to the registrant
are under serious consideration by the
War Department. This was disclosed
Friday by Secretary Baker after he
had appeared before the Senate Mill
tary Committee, to urge prompt enact
ment of the new selective service act,
extending the age limits to include all
men between the ages Of IS and 45.
The War Secretary made it plain
that he is not satisfied with the pres
ent system, under which the registrant
must claim deferred classification, as
many men with dependents hesitate
for patriotic reasons to make such a
claim. In this connection Mr.. Baker
said he was inclined to the opinion
that the marriage relation will in itself
constitute deferred classification
What Mr.. Baker has in mind is to
lay down a set of questions which the
registrant would answer and then have
rules which would take care of the
classification. He is understood to re-
gard this as the fair and equitable sys-
TEN.
Create Two Glasses.
The War Secretary contemplates d.
viding all registrants into two classes
SO far as those in Class 1 go. The
first would be composed Of men be-
tween 18 and 10 years, and the second
of those between 10 and As years. The
object is to provide that the eighteen
year old class shall be drawn upon
only when the man power situation
makes it absolutely necessary.
The discussion on the draft ages be
fore the Senate Committee, Mr.. Baker
said, followed much the lines taken by
General March, chief-of-staff, and Pro.
vost Marshal General Crowder The
| committee, he added, did not indicate
any disposition to question the neces.
sity for the change, which is urged so
that the Wer Department can quickly
secure the men necessary to win the
war.

CONTROVERSY IN
GERMANY over
FOOD RATI0NS
Granting of Extra Ration to
Prussia Causes Discomfort
Over Country.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O-A bitter
newspaper controversery has arisen in
Germany over the distribution of food,
according to an official dispa tch to-
day from Switzerland.
The discussion arose from the grant
ing to the population Of Berlin sup
Elementary ration OF fifty grammes
and this has provoked keen discomfort
not only in Bavaria and Saxony, but
even in Prussia, and above all in ag-
ricultural districts.
The Berlin Morgenpost says:
1.-The enemy is following with in
tense interest, the success of the star
walton war that was brought against
US. Do not let us give him the plea
sure of proving that a mouthful OF
bread more suffices to mobilize Ba-
varia and Saxony against Berlin and
that Bavaria and Saxony can even
! find allies in Prussia against the cap
! ital of the kingdom. Is it really nee
| essary to provide such spectacle for
the enemy and thus to supply his own
mill with water as it were? 1t is en-
couraging him to continue the war of
starvation and to tighten the block
ade."
| The Kruz Zeitung says that the best
way of playing the enemy's game is
to give privilege to Berlin. The econ
omical distress is just as acute in
| Saxony as in Hamburg for example
or in the Westphalen Rhenish district
as at Berlin. 1t asserts that nowhere
! is there such bad feeling as at Ber-
! lin, where patriotism and the spirit
of sacrifice are particula rly lacking.
